Impromptu wedding reception for my daughter. Staff was incredible. They even made a banner for them! Then the bartender played every song we asked him too. Amazing staff

Pam C

Easily the best bar I've been to in NYC. The bartenders absolutely the most warm, kind and friendly , the happy hour prices were incredible AND my beer came with a koozie & drink umbrella!

Greg Barbosa

Absolutely best bar I have ever been to. Rob and Phillip are awesome and make you feel right at home in a new city . Try the Pickle Back for an interesting new taste for your buds.

Ami H.

Bartender Marty is so chill -sweet, attentive, and wry. Couldn't ask for a better one. Thanks for the beer cozie , guy. I cherish it. Good tunes and swill here.

Joslyn Hansen

Like all of the Whisky franchise locations, the service sets them apart from other sports/beer bars . The bartenders will usually introduce themselves right away, and chat to make you comfortable .

Harry Raymond

Friendliest bartenders in NYC. A hidden gem in Chinatown. Try the tater tots .

Cam

One of the best bars in chinatown . Dope staff , great djs , friendly place for after work drinks or late night shenanigans. Tell Rob I said “hi!”????

Jen K

Bartender charm: on fire! Introduced himself to everyone in my party. Also treated me to my first Spicy Back (Pickle Back Shot + Tabasco + pepperchino). Delish! Just the right hint of heat.

Honghui Yu

Came here on taco Tuesday and got an amazing deal of 3 tacos for $8. The happy hour specials here, which runs until 7 pm are also really good. Well drinks for $7.

Jessica

Tots , pickle backs , and bacon bowl may be the favs... But THE PORK TACOS were amazing!!!! Ask for a side of the salsa verde to add on... And you will be in awe. #epic

Sarah T.

Taco Tuesday , live music on Wednesday, heavenly tater tots , and an awesome bar staff . You can't go wrong with this place. Oh, and try a spicy back (spicy pickle back ) if you've never experienced it. Read more

Tom Meng

Walk in, pickle back . Thats the way to do it! Awesome staff as well !

Ben G

A barfly's bar . Mingle with cops and locals. Eat a taco . Do a shot. Repeat until a) sad, b) no longer sad, c) birthday girl falls off bar .

Zoe Louis

Had a fun time playing board games , drinking draft beers and watching hockey .The staff is supper nice :)

Maximilian

Best bar in the neighborhood . Food is great. Staff is awesome. Don’t forget to try a spicy pickleback !

Meghan Kathleen

There are a few great things to mention about this spot: Spicy Pickle Back shots, it's a JMU bar , the crowd is bro-y but not douche-y, & Rob the bartender is super nice and entertaining.

Danny Lara

You have to say hi to Marty ????and try the nachos , they’re awesome.

Jury Duty Day - Post service Happy Hour . You made it through the day, now reward yourself with a cocktail . Here's my pick for the immediate area

Michelle C

This is my favorite bar . It gets loud in the evenings, so sit outside if it's warm enough. They make a great hot toddy !

Jacqui B.

Southern Ade is excellent. This is a fantastic place. Really close to perfect.

A S

friendly bartenders , nice selection. pretty clean , even though it looks like a dive from the outside!

Fanny G

Celebrated my Birthday here, had a blast, will go back for sure!

Audrey Tolbert

You will have a fun night here. Tip the AWESOME bartenders well and they'll pay you back. Great 90s music too.

The Tavern FTW. And by FTW, I mean for the whiskey . Tip yo bartender , the crew here is the best (hi Rob!)

Lauren Ferrando

Love this place! Staff is extremely friendly and will do whatever it takes to ensure you have a great time. Pickle Back shots all the way.

Compass

Pickleback shots and boxes of Jenga make this humble joint on Baxter Street a favorite among locals.

Robin W

Treat you like a local and long lost friend. No one goes to a whiskey bar in Chinatown unless a local

David Pimentel

Picklebacks are the way to go, make sure to check out the patio in the back

Caitlyn Fowles

Hands down, the best staff of any bar in NYC! And the pickle backs aren't bad either!

Annie L.

One of my fave feel good spots - great music , great food, great drinks, and last but definitely not least.. great staff

Devin P-B

Their White Russians are pretty good but the Black Russians are even better! Once you have a Black Russian you never go back to a White Russian .

Ailie Chang

Love the music here! And as everyone else says, Spicy Picklebacks .

Honghui Yu

Great place for a birthday - buy a round of shots and get a huge sparkling dildo!

Josue Soto

Came here one night with 2 friends we are all well above the age of 21. One of my friends forgot his ID in the hotel , so we weren't allowed service even though it was empty

Amanda Lin

Bartenders are super nice here. Crowd and vibe is fun with no fuss!

Monti Bray

Friendly staff and cheap drinks with decent bar food .

Heather Gilchrist

Best. Bar . EVER. Rob is NYC's most famous bartender and the pickle back shots are unparalleled in their deliciousness.

Fei Jin

Come here for the pickle whiskey shots and cute bartenders who will remember your name!!!

tze chun

Perfect for birthdays! Not for the faint of heart though as picklebacks are their speciality

Celine G

I don't even drink whiskey yet love their pickleback shots ! always fun to stop by and the barkeep aka rob is super easy on the eyes and makes really strong drinks ladies ;)

Brittany

The pickle juice and whisky shot is a very interesting combo to say the least.

Danny C ????

Great stop for good food and beer during jury duty lunch breaks. Make a friend or two, too!

Matt Brunetti

Pickle backs and Jenga make it worth going and having a couple drinks.

Jared H

Dare to call it a dive bar and risk me reaching through the internet to slap you in the mouth. If you want to find out if your date can really hang, end the night here.

doug jaeger

#bacon + #bluecheese + #maplesyrup = insanely good. It should be illegal.

Andrew Choi

The only bar in Chinatown I'll go to. Try their bigger location in Williamsburg!

David Zhang

Great spot for post dim-sum Sunday football

Fei Jin

Get a Tavern Triple!! Genny, pickle back shot & bag of beef jerky !!

Kelly A

Good place, good drinks, good music . This place is a WIN in my book .

Joel Binn

Since its renovation about a year ago, this has been a great place to hang out. Generous after work drinks and friendly bartenders
