Blaze Mancillas

When school is in it's a crowded mess. Any other time of year it's cozy . Good prices. Good beers on tap . Poor movie selection. ET and Schindler's List should never be on at a bar .

Jay Choi

Great for college-age people! The bartenders are also really efficient - even when it's pretty busy, they say it's not that busy!!

Harlem Ambassador

This is likely the best bar near Columbia where a cool crowd comes to booze it up while playing darts , pool, and an assortment of drinking games. Almost has Lower East Side dive feel. Cheap drinks !!!

Australian Tim

Wednesdays - Late Night Happy Hour 10pm until 2am

Max Holland

One of the best bars in NYC if you ignore some of the academia that fill it up. Good drinks, darts , and you can order in chinese or pizza and relax. Awesome.

Zachary Hooker

Come here any day of the week from 4-8p and it's a chill dive with some of the cheapest (good) beer in the city . Come here outside those hours and having a 19 year-old puke on you is highly probable.

L. T.

Ask the bartender for a joke or a riddle. The most amazing dad jokes you've ever heard. Come for happy hour .

Matt Piccolella

Trivia on Tuesdays is always great

Nick Z

Basically my "Cheers". Unpretentious bar with good prices, affable staff and a crowd of committed regulars, plus the odd cute and interesting Columbia girl. Come by some time and pay respects.

Tara Reed

Look up at the TV screen . There is always something strange playing: Xena, Little House on the Prairie, Porn...you'll always be surprised

Sabrina Fonseca

Ray, the best bartender ever, is there on Sundays. I highly recommend going there in the afternoon when it's not as crazy.

Justin Holiman

Was harassed by the bartender to order another drink within 30 minutes of ordering our first drink or we would have to leave. She then gave our table to a group of her friends. Auto-gratuity too. 0/10

Chris Evans

To reserve a booth on weekends, you have to pledge your firstborn to serve as a steward for eight full winters.

Tabitha Johnson

You can't beat this dive bar . Tim is an amazing bartender .

Maxwell Foxman

Remains probably the best and cheapest happy hour in the area.

Zack Sheppard

I doubt there is a soul alive who will call this bar "good," but there's something delightfully comfortable about its dark, loud , crowded dive bar character.

CollegeCandy

A college dive bar NYC style. This small hole-in-the-wall spot is a favorite among Columbia students.

David Hu

Trivia night is every Tuesday 8-10. Who knew! Win bar tabs and/or candy .

Doris Su

I like just because I live down the street and I'm one of the many Columbia grad school students there. Cheap beers , though!

Gabriel Puliatti

Nice dive bar in Brooklyn, cool people at the door

Will Harahan

The quintessential dive bar , but with better bartenders .

Megan Baker

Cheap drinks , but filled with Columbia undergrads. Go elsewhere if you don't want to scream over music and sit in spilled beer .

Brad Reason

Great dive bar with a pool table

Evelyn Coleman

Bartenders here are good peeps so tip well . If your bartender is male call him Tim - 2 of the guys are named Tim so you'll be right about half the time.

Australian Tim

Tuesday Nights - Trivia 8pm with Late Happy Hour at 11pm

Gil Lopez

Columbia architecture an GSAPP favorite. $2 yuengling during happy hour .

Gino Robles

Ray a one of a king Bartender & even better person. Cheers-!!!

Alex Robertson

Prices aren't bad; I sorta like it here

Kelvin Chan

The Yuengling . Classic.

Australian Tim

HAPPY HOUR : Daily 4pm-7pm

Julie Avra

good bar but beware of dudes playing pool

Chris Vela-Zavaleta

Bar minimum is 10 dollars. Prepare accordingly.

David Hu

The sink knobs are reversed in the men's bathroom . Left is cold, right is hot.

Charlie Kubal

Best college bar by Columbia

Allan F

Great beer prices and a dart board . Place has a great soul. No food so bring your own.

Ferdi Rodriguez

This is the bar where will Ferrell peed on the pool table !!!

ᴡ G

Fab place ????

Mike Murphy

Bartender is a little slow but hooks you up on the price

Taylor Greenburg

Great atmosphere!

Ankush Bhatia

$2 Miller Lights and $3 Amstel Lights!!

Ben

$4 Red Hook ESB, cheaper at happy hour . Awesome.

Steve Buller

Just the place where they filmed the bar scene from The Other Guys

ᴡ McGuire

This is the darkest night of the soul

Michael Kozicki

Not the place for even a game of pool

amanda mountain

Dive bar . Loves it

California

The waitress looks like an angry cocainoman pig . A very strong idea.

Peter N
