With the ever-gentrifying East Village bar scene in constant flux, it’s nice to know that there are still bars that cater to the people who actually live there. Cleaner and cooler than a dive bar but lacking the pretension of many of its neighbors, this tiny spot boasts a cute checkerboard floor and big, wooden booths. The décor, along with the friendly, helpful service, creates the perfect formula for a cozy neighborhood bar. On weekends, the place can get packed—but always with a relaxed, local crowd. Expect to find the typical array of beer and cocktails. — Sara Cardace

Came upon this bar randomly on a Friday night - wasn't over crowded, there was a jukebox with good music, and a good, friendly atmosphere. The bartenders were super friendly and sociable - this felt like a neighborhood bar - as if it were a part of the community. Not sure about below comment - I didn't get the feeling the place was sketchy at all - i felt the opposite - i felt comfortable and had a great time! Would definitely go back

This is a bar which caters to NYU undergrads with a taste for the seamy and any lowlife with a taste for well...the seamy. It's one of the neighborhood "problem" bars which also includes drug trafficking by a well-known, long-time drug dealer, with multiple arrests, who lives in the building. Tonight a nude female posed in the window trying to get the attention of passers-by. Could be either a pros or a drunken NYU undergrad or both. Take antibiotics before going to this dive.
