The Library

Punk and post-punk reign on the popular jukebox at The Library. If you have a hard time choosing your three plays for a buck, helpful handwritten notes provide a little insight. Read more

I love this place. Great dive bar with low, warm lights, 2-for-1 happy hour drinks (if you tip!), and consistently great music . Plus the bartenders are v cool.

If you come here during happy hour they'll give you a little critter with a beer . Don't get too attached to your new friend though, you can trade them in for a free drink!

A really good bar but why are the coasters so small?

5-8pm 2-for-1 happy hr. Thurs ladies night 2-for-1 all night. Best jukebox . Possibly fave dive bar in the entire city . They know how to make em strong here. Bathrooms are disgusting, but it's great.

We love to come here for happy hour for the 2-for-1 drinks, and also to see and play music from the old-school jukebox .

Great bar . Very low key & chill . Unpretentious folks looking to enjoy a beer should check this place out. Don't forget to tip your bartenders !

Excellent juke box , cheap drinks , pitch black, writers on the wall, and you can probably get pregnant from the seats. Divetastic.

Divey but not too divey, this place still boasts a good beer selection while catering to the PBR and a shot crowd as well . Try to understand whatever weird ass movie they're showing.

I love this bar . Divey, cheap drinks , books on the shelves, punk rock , old movies ...all of my favorite things in one.

The huevos rancheros was awesome. Our server helped us with the menu and had great pairing recommendations. Will definitely go back!

Amazing bartenders . Amazing spot. Love.

Come for the cheap beer , stay for the naked man shooting heroin on screen

A great place to share drinks and conversations with friends. The place is loud and they play old school movies on a projector !

A projection screen and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves make this hip dive a respite from Houston Street chaos. The clientele drink PBR for just a few bucks, and locals wouldn’t have it any other way.

A long and narrow bar , dimly-lit, cosy, grungey, friendly service , standard drinks, easy to get a seat early in the week, aka great neighborhood bar !

A jukebox with an impressive punk rock collection, and a projector that's always showing 50s-70s erotica. Rock out to The Clash with some Bettie Page strip teases in the background.

Can't beat the happy hour , also a very good place for an after-party gathering late night !

Super cheap drinks , so much roomier on the inside. Great for groups , a quintessential East Village dive

Drinks are cheap , the jukebox is well curated, the music is loud , B movies run on loop on a projector in the back, and it's dingy without being unpleasant.

Good jukebox . Cheap beer . Relaxed vibe . Thumbs up.

See that comment below from "Michael Aiingorn" (Ayngorn, Einhorn, Aingorn, Aihnhorn, etc.)? He is a criminal scam artist . Don't accept one of his ATMs. The other 'real' name of his company is FTF Inc.

"I've been drunk for about a week now, & I thought it might sober me up to sit in a library ." -The Great Gatsby

After midnight, you can loser up to a pube (Busch and whiskey ) or El Guapo (24oz Tecate and tequila ).

Spiked apple cider : done deal, do not wait to have it as your last drink it's SO delicious and completely worth the measly $7.00

This is a great place to take out-of-towners. It's disorienting without being overwhelming, and "only in New York" without being cliche.

Fair drink prices and rad literature inspired art on the walls. I dig it.

6 dollar Tecate tallboy, all day everyday. (32oz tallboy)

LOUD . But I LOVE it! Great music , cheap drinks . And they play some classic old movies on this huge projector . A lot of fun

Great local spot , awesome vibe and during the day has more interesting patrons

Great jukebox , fun lowkey bar

Awesome bar and a grrrrrreaaaat jukebox . People love to play Joy Division here, sprinkled with a bit of The Smiths and My Bloody Valentine . Clearly my cup of tea (/vodka ).

One of the best jukeboxes I've ever come across. Also, they play The Shining like ALL THE TIME, which is great if you like The Shining. (via Scoville) Read more

Laid back and unpretentious neighbourhood bar . Candlelit darkness inside.

Rude bar tenders who pretty much hate the patrons... But you can't complain with those prices! Great for pre/post gaming. Gets packed by 9-10ish.

Cheap drinks , good vibe, and they have a decent pickleback

Good deals - phenomenal bartender who looks after his patrons

Run into Anton Newcombe. Dance with him. Have him comment on how long your tongue is when you catch a snowflake with it outside, then he'll start singing to you. Btw, happy hour will get you trashed.

Get here for the 2 for 1 happy hour . Also play Blondie and T. Rex from the juke box .

$5 for a Busch beer & a shot of whiskey . "The Pube" is the best deal in town .

Ooooooooh yeah man, I come here for the 70's and 80's horror flicks they play in the back muahahahahaha!!!

2 for 1 drinks during happy hourgood jukebox24oz tecates for $6

This my one and only-ish bar ! The bartenders make this place the place to be!

Movies . Good tunes . Cheap beer . If I were a dive bar I'd maybe be this one.

Cheep beer , great tunes and an awesome atmosphere. More, please!

This bar has Shel Silverstein graffiti and a rad juke box selection. What more could you want?

Best dive bar in NYC

Kick your self in the nutz if you love sicilian women who are former addicts!

One of the only bars at which I've heard iron maiden. I loved it.

Liz is a great bartender . Hittin that airbar
