If you’re feeling adventurous, take a spin on the bar’s “Wheel of Misfortune,” where you could “win” free jukebox plays, drinks, 15 minutes in a gimp cage or a “Coney Island whitefish” shot. Read more

Great for anyone who is a fan of metal or rock! Has autographs from many band members! Try the Jesus Juice it’s a green shot

A great place to explore the decor. There is so much on the walls, the ceiling and the furniture. It is full of a ton of dive bar charm.

The mood, the prices, the music, the place, the company, did I mention the music?

Welcome to the Heavy Metal Mecca of the Western Hemisphere featuring the best Happy Hour in NYC. $1 PBR's from 6-9! Great rock n roll & heavy metal jukebox, awesome local crowd, & a true dive bar gem.

Duff’s heavy metal decor and atmosphere may be intimidating at first – but the $3 PBRs and well-curated jukebox will be sure to make you stay. Read more

The jukebox here leans heavily toward hard-hitting, headbanging cuts. On Sundays, you can play whatever seedy songs you fancy for free. Play this: 59-03, the Cramps, “Rockin Bones.” Read more

Fun metal bar. $1 PBRs at happy hour (which is every day until 9 PM!). We went here with Dave!

The best, cleanest, and most metal metal bar you could imagine. H.R. Giger art is a plus

One of my favorite places in the world, don't be intimidated on the back. Ask for the Coney Island Whitefish ;)

Duffs- the walls are covered in hours of interesting pieces of metal memorabilia. Luckily, so is the ceiling for when you pass out on the floor.
Tom ConteJuly 19, 2014
A cool spot to hang out in and listen to all types of metal but not very bumping if you're looking for something a bit rowdy.
Nick LucchesiAugust 28, 2013
Happy hour runs until 9 pm and the jukebox is free on Sunday night. Put on the entire Carpenters record just because it's a metal bar and metalheads HATE the carpenters.

Steve Seabury, author of Mosh Potatoes heavy metal cookbook says: Duffs doesn’t serve food, but you can bring your own. This bar is for people who love to smash shot after shot. 100% METAL! Read more

If rose is the bar tender, surprise her by playing Hank III on the juke box. She loves it!

PROTIP: Spin the wheel. Economically, you totally come out ahead. Unless you're the gimp.
Mat ThiesJanuary 15, 2014
Stumbled into this bar on accident walking to the train. Boy am I glad I did. METAL.
