Liffy II Bar

Y'know, I was thirsty and I came upon the Liffey II. What a nice friendly place. I'm thankful to them.

I really wanted to love this place, the sofas/styling and the drinks are great, the bartender is also super nice. The anesthetics are exactly what I was looking for. Liffy II would be perfect as a low-key, intimate bar. The only issue is the music is extremely loud and makes you want to dance. Normally that's not a problem, but there's no dance floor, and the bar layout is set up for quiet conversation and intimate get togethers, it's not a club. Liffy is setup like an intimate speakeasy with the soft seating and layout. If the music volume was half or a bit less than half, so you could actually talk to your group without screaming, this would probably be my favorite place in Inwood. There are plenty of loud, dance-focused clubs in the neighborhood, so it doesn't make sense that a cocktail lounge with beautiful sofas and wonderful anesthetics (including the bartenders classy outfit) would want to ruin that with the entirely wrong soundscape. Hopefully they will lower the music volume, play a more chill and intimate Playlist, and lean into what would make them great and unique in the neighborhood. If they do that I will happily be a regular customer and that would make this a very easy 5 star review

Favorite bar in the neighborhood! The vibe is so cozy and welcoming. Always delicious cocktails and bar snacks. They have 8 - midnight drink specials Monday through Thursday which we love!

The owner and bar staff were extremely helpful and kind.

Last time I was here was in 2021. The bar changed a lot. I liked the old look better, looked more like Brooklynish. Now looks too old fashioned and serious. Won’t be back again.

Ambiance is everything. Quite the stylish pub. Video poker machine in the back Great decor.

Really good place, amazing drinks

Incredible bar that really doesn’t appear so from outside. At first glance it seems unapproachable because of a dark awning stretching onto the sidewalk. Once you get in there’s a swanky vibe with chesterfield couches and sofas and a well-stocked bar. Daily weekday deals - makes drinks pretty cheap too. Definitely check this place out! Cool spot for a large group hang too.

I come all the way from yonkers to come here. The only place that feels like a bar in the city. Edit; after the renovation and Mindy the bartender leaving. All spirit has departed and all regulars left. They even stripped the pool table. If you like gentrification, this is the spot though. - I used to spend like 300 on one night just because. Shout to the old liffys. Ri.p.
