The Corcoran Group

Great place to come during the week (it gets super crowded during the weekends) for happy hour . Our favorite part: the photobooth !

Carol

The bartender in by the dance floor makes the best drinks???? but the DJs tend to be... If you're down to bop and shimmy, you'll like the music .

Nikkitha

Love the music here! We heard The Doors, the Strokes, a live version of Hotel California. Music that can't go wrong, really. This was early evening.

Chet Mancini

Get liquid courage somewhere else and dance it off in the back room . If you meet someone cute take them to Lovers of Today next door.

Gabriel Hayes

Best place for dancing in Alphabet City . On weekends has great DJs that play 90s jams .

Compass

The back room is perfect for dancing to nineties hits on weekends, and the photobooth is constantly occupied by couples and reunited friends.

Tom Maxim

Low key spot in the day. At night this is a good place that's close to everything/not as crowded / but still fun.

Rocks Off

Yeah you can easily see the Joe Strummer mural on the wall. But take the tour to unlock the rich alcohol and musical traditions of this spot going back over 100 years! Read more

Tim Vetter

Order a pint on a cool fall Saturday afternoon and sit on the bench by the big picture window looking out on the corner of Ave A & 7th. Best peoplewatching in Alphabet City .

Gabriel Hayes

Dance space in the back room is great. There is a bar back there too.

Megan Kosmoski

Go on Thursdays, early! Great happy hour and freaking awesome bar tender, Michael! She'll make you an awesome drink!

Julia H.

Niagara never fails to disappoint, even after all these years. Relax and have a drink at the bar , or make your way downstairs for an impromptu dance party - complete with a tiki bar and christmas light

Natasha Zuluaga

Super weird dance floor in the back. Great for meeting friendly strangers ;)

Small Demons

I turn off the news and walk over to Niagara at the corner of 7th and A. It's about nine and the place is dead, the hipsters won't start crowding in till eleven.—Charlie Huston, Already Dead Read more

Matt Hargrave

Nice little corner bar with friendly staff and retro atmosphere.

Margot Mazur

Three dollar happy hour and the comedy is super fun. Good place to start off the night.

Embrace your inner East Village Hipster . Sometimes, there's an art gallery in the back room . If that's not your thing, Buck Hunter is an option.

DJ CNC

Crickets Comedy every monday night at 8 on the back!

Nikki Wegner

Old school east village dive. Photo booth . Music , fun

Daniel Tewfik

Great spot to hear some amateur comedy . Both purposeful and not.

Fabricio Ph

Bouncer who was picking up girls, trying to demonstrate power, kicked us out of the bar . Despite our efforts to explain the misunderstanding we were continuously getting a pedantic attitude in return.

Jason

Good place for a night out. Crowded but good vibe

Anders Wallner

Nice service, good music and free wifi . Perfect for having a drink on your own.

Ruby Anaya

Sweet pinball set up and photo booth !

Stephanie Myers

Best dance music from the 80s, 90s, and today. Love!

Claire J Song

Mon-Fri 4pm-8pm, Sat-Sun 2pm-8pm Everything’s two-for-one

Sam Winnick

Great music and always a fun time.

Leanne Z

Throwback tunes and dancing in the back. Have to check your coat to go in.

Lily Gomperts

Super fun dancefloor in the back!

Gideon Olshansky

If you like loud music , lines for the bar and bathroom , and sticky floors, this is the place for you.

Hans Wolf

Great mixed drinks from great people: Ethan and Ted: But most importantly: ANTAGONIST ART SHOW Every Thursday from 9 pm to 12:30 AM!!

Giovanni D'Palma

Solid local vibe most nights, not always over crowded .

Veronica Atkins

Great music , dance space , and a photo booth ?! #gonetoheaven

Julian Modesto

CHECK OUT THE PHOTO BOOTH , IT'S $5 (EXPENSIVE)

Tiernan Kennedy

Jen always gets her cans out, they're so sweet, like raisins on the beach

Aaron Beatty

Come on Monday night for Motown Mondays with bartender Gordie. Also check out the memorial mural of The Clash frontman Joe Strummer .

Ellie D

Friday night 8pm free standup comedy was GOOD

Sam Levy

Linda Mcbain

The dj is not very accommodating - limited allowance on tune selections.

Megan Girdler

Don't come here if it's your birthday, or if you want to have fun. Boo-Agra!!!!

Kim Coccagnia

Great music , friendly bartenders !

Maria Devitt

I like Nicola too.

Anne Sullivan

Better options in the east village . Expensive and kind of nasty doorman . It’s a service business fella, and a dive bar at that.

Rachel Lieberman

DO NOT GO HERE. Horrible horrible bar . The bouncer attacked me, unprovoked. He pushed me down and every time I got up he pushed me down again. Manager refused to take responsibility. Go somewhere else
