Strangelove Bar Nyc

We went to a fancy meal and my wife surprised me with this treasure after. If you like dive bars, if you like glam rock, and if you like places with no marketing department, then THIS is your place. David and Gayla were the regulars we hung out with. If they aren't there, just sit on the far right, and look up. Their names are on the ceiling. They were awesome. I bartended for 14 years and tried to make everyone's day better through my actions. You MEET Pete for 10 seconds, and he doesn't have to talk. Your day is already better. He knew about the Britney Fox breakup and played the band, he knew about how Whitesnake dissed John Sykes, and now will go listen to Blue Murder albums. He played Warrant. He played Kix. And he played Extreme pre-Van Halen and then had a conversation about all Van Halen singers. And there are specials, some with Bud, and one shot and beer for us IPA drinkers. Magical experience. And pretty sure Ed Norton was there. Pic below. Good luck finding the entrance, but it is worth it once you do. Definitely recommend, and see you there (next time I am out East).

Hidden gem in midtown East . Don’t come in here expecting glamours 18$ cocktails. That’s not the vibe we’re talking cheap 4$ -6$ beers and we’ll drinks. In Manhattan what more could you ask for because bars like this in nyc are a dying breed

La peor atención que pude tener, solo pretendía escuchar buen rock, tomar unos Tekila y el tipo solo por escuchar mi acento extranjero me negó todo!

Cheap dive bar, but incredibly loud in an unbearable way.

Great dive bar. Came during a Saturday afternoon and it was mostly a late brunch crowd. Wish the vibes were as lively as the decor. Cheap drinks though!

loud punk rock

Came in, and ordered two beers. It was a night out with some friends, and we were planning on staying there for a couple of hours. This Garth (Wayne's world) looking clown, starts ranting aggressively about how he can see we are not "american", since we're not tipping him after we ordered our first beers. But there's something really sad about his rant, you can see he's on the brink of some unbearable life experience. Jesus Christ. He also threw a "WE DON´T GET PAID IN HERE". We finished our beers and left that miserable spot. I can see how this bar is kind of niche, but that dude seemed insufferable, and possibly a bit (whole lot) mentally unstable. Although if the whole "I DONT GET PAID IN HERE" is true, then I can see why you keep him as a joke. 1/5.
