Came here on the recommendation of a bartender at Rudy’s in Hell’s Kitchen, and to be totally honest, we weren’t sure when we walked in. But we stayed, we met the regulars and the locals and the staff, and I gotta say this place is definitely a hidden gem in the Tribeca/Soho overpriced district. The 12$ burger is good - not instagrammable, mindblowing good, but for sure too good for it’s 12$ price point. 6$ Jalapeno poppers were dope, period. Beers and shots were all priced like it’s still 2014, and the service was A+ dive bar friendly, unpretentious, and unobsequious. Overall, probably not the hotspot you wanna hit first thing, nor the chic dinner-spot you’d pay big bucks for to show off, but definitely a great late-nite spot to enjoy yourself and relieve your wallet while just having a great time with locals. You find me another spot in lower Manhattan where that’s a possibility at all, then I’ll eat my hat. This place is the last of an era, and for simple folk like me that like jalapeno poppers, Yeungling pints, and shots of Jameson all together for less than 20$…well I think that all speaks for itself. Kudos to Alec, Tommy, and Danielle who made us feel very at home. Y’all are doin the good work.
I love the bathroom in this bar, the walls remind me of my grandmother and the way she covered every wooden surface she could get ahold of in multiple thick gloopy layers of strangely colored wall paint The graffiti in there was also nice, “talk to strangers” and “whatever happened to slow dancing?” are sentiments I agree with
