happy hour cheap drinks ginger yum yum back room DJs casual good for groups bar karaoke wifi great value authentic tequila music drink specials crowded well drinks basement neighborhood gingery
Brook Shelley

Perfect little spot to get out of the bustle of NYC and unwind a little with a beer or cocktail . Dimly lit, with wifi , and clean bathrooms . Ideal kinda bar for an idle Tuesday.

naveen

great basement bar in the hood. gets really packed sometimes, but that's part of what makes it cool, i think. there's hardly any cell service in here, so use the phone number as the wifi password

Emily Kane

Happy hour until 8! Beers are $3-4, wells are $3.50, buy tequila shots for all of your co-workers.

N. S.

The Ginger Yum Yum is delicious, and they make a mean Dark and Stormy . Can get pretty crowded and loud , but always chill .

Veronica Sanchez

Ginger yum yum is a pretty tasty drink. If you're visiting New York, don't forget to tip the long haired bartender or he'll bitch at you all night long about it.

Noah Weiss

It's a dive bar that has a great, not that grungy vibe on the weekends. Drinks are cheap . The huge mug of delicious dark & stormy for $8 is the clear read.

Tom Meng

One of my favorite bars in the area. They got cheap happy hour drinks before 8

Brendan Lewis

This is one of the places that serves as the best antidote to Soho mixologist douchery. Get a beer and a Makers neat and be pleasantly surprised to still have cash afterwards

Jon Goldmann

When Danny D is working, this place can’t be beat. Great music , never the same type of people. After work is a little crazy, but clears out around 830 then picks up for late night

S A

Say "hi" to the DJ on Thursday and Saturday night :-). Try the ginger yum yum ! Everyone here is super chill . Cool spot to meet new people.

DoubleDeuce

Most people come here for the great happy hour specials ...but there's much more charm than that if you come on a busier night and even check out the back room .

Caitlin L

Favorite bar in this neighborhood . Cheap and centrally located. Music isn't bad either.

Vivian

At Botanica, spend a reasonable amount of money for drinks in a laidback environment. I’m a fan!

IrmaZandl ZandlSlant

Especially like on Thursday notes when Matt Rockman djs . Very chill vibe.

Margot Mazur

Never packed, always awesome. Its like a hidden NYC dive bar gem. Its perfect and the DJ spins hip hop .

DANGER TAM

One of the best happy hours in the city . Cocktails tend to be heavy handed, in case you don't like your drinks stiff. Cellphone service sucks but pretty sure wifi password is the phone number.

Ray Lin

The $4 drafts during happy hour til 8pm is great, but the $6 mixed drinks is one of the true steals in Manhattan.

Marc S

Cozy neighborhood place , good prices, but limited selection of spirits . Rachel has all her birthday parties here!

Melody Gambino

Prob the best happy hour deal in Soho. Come early or send a coworker at 5 to get a good spot.

Lyndsey M

This place is so cozy , but also easy to miss from the street. Great atmosphere and incredible happy hour .

Felix Sargent

Best dive bar around here. So classy I wouldn't even call it a dive if it weren't for the amazing prices

Cole Kennedy

Great happy hour : $4 beers until 8 is tough to beat.

Compass

The subterranean bar is lit by a small neon sign and garnished with repurposed furniture , dim lights , and Pitchfork’s latest soundtrack.

Victoria Lambino

Great bartender . Ordered the wrong drink for my friend and bartender traded it in for the correct one. Nice service!

Chris Evans

Well drinks , wine , and beer are $4 during happy hour (which ends at 8!). The dark and stormy will also mess you up good.

Abner Aceves

great bar can get packed, there is more seating way in the back. $20 min for cards can get annoying

LaDawn Penigar-Mitchell

The DJ is great on Saturday nights, come for a nice mix of 80s hits and today's top songs!

sam defran

This is the best spot in NOHO SOHO to have an affordable beer and enjoy the sights and sounds of NYC. Also good place to drink over 6 beers if you are in that mood.SAM

Damian Bayona

Looks tiny on the outside but has an additional room in the back. Decently priced for the area and always a dj

Indulgent Eats

Dark and stormy is where it's at (for fans of ginger , at least). Cozy up at one of the large tables in the back room

Melissa Yu

A fav. dive bar choice of mine. $3-5 drafts during happy hour til 8PM. Interesting crowds.

Demetra Sherwood

Get the left hand milk stout on tap and ask the bartender to spike it with bourbon 👌

Marc S

Good casual , local basement bar . DJ . Can get lively at times.

Tiffany

Happy hour is where it's at. $3 dollar house beer

Monti Bray

There's a back room with booths for all you large groups of friends that don't see any open seats .

Sara 🌈⚔🍾

Classic NYC dive with cheap drinks and a great happy hour .

JAMESON PINE

Awesome bartenders , check. Awesome music , check. Former Knitting Factory turned chill outpost.

Kate H.

Plenty if seats (find the back room !) plenty of cheap but delicious drinks. An oasis in a soho shithole.

Racky Ross

Great happy hour , $3/4 for draft beer . Got seriously tipsy on Lagunitas Ipa .

John Cline

Quite the dive, but a solid beer selection and amazing happy hour

Ashley V

$5 vodka soda (at 10 p.m.) ?! I'm in. It wasn't too crowded a that time so it was a nice spot to have a few drinks with the girls.

Keith McKenzie

Gets very busy during happy hour , but that's probably because of the great deals.

1 music playing all the time. 5 dol beer and a nice place

Kristin P

Great happy hour deals + best dive in soho

Saif Dia

Grab a signature drink - I'm personally a fan of the dark and stormy .

Karl With A "K"

The back room is great for groups . Solid bartending service as well .

Josh Chua

even if you're not done with your drink, get another happy hour drink at 7:50pm and double-fist your way to a hangover

Tracey Churray

Happy hour till 8 - $4 drafts and a great beer selection .

dipti p.
