Yo, if you're lookin' for a chill spot to kick back and grab a brew without breakin' the bank, DuckDuck's your joint. This cash-only dive is low-key but vibes are on point. No live DJ, but they're bumpin' old-school jams from Spice Girls, Usher, and the like. Personally, I'm feelin' it, but wouldn't mind some Pitbull thrown in for good measure. Overall, DuckDuck's a solid spot for cheap drinks and retro vibes. Can't go wrong with that.

Beloved Duck duck the go to for nearly a decade for great drinks at amazing prices, good music and a vibe that is unmatched is now fading fast to rude (possibly racially motivated) mistreatment by staff to its patrons. This has been the fun place the safe place however last night I experienced the most memorably disgusting experience. My friend and I sat at the bar and waited and watched for 15 min as the blonde female bartender in black jeans proceeded to take the orders of absolute everyone around us including those who just walked up even offering second drinks to those seating right next to us. She laughed talked to them engaged them. When she walked past us at least 8 times she would not make eye contact. Finally my friend called out nearly yelling “we would love to order drinks please” and turned looking almost insulted and she just starred at us. I ordered our drinks to take my friend out of it and she brought them back slid them to us repeating the price 3 times and walked away. We put our cash on the bar for payment and even my friend mentioned when we were wrapping we would like to pay she didn’t acknowledge us and never touched the money. My friend was so uncomfortable we decided to leave and find another place. I have no idea why this was our experience and why this woman acts this way we can only assume looking at the circumstances but it’s 2024 in NYC…come on duck duck do better.

No regard for the residential area - loud all night - every warm night constantly

Super chill bar during the day, great happy hour every day from 4-8.

Good vibez
