BE Rivers

Really fun bar !!! Giant Jenga,Connect four.(and other games as well ) Photo booth and video games . Cool bartenders . Home of the "Gotham City Karaoke " on Tue/Wed nights. Affordable drinks..free popcorn .

Ariane Rinehart

Good prices, surprisingly large space . They have giant Connect 4 and Jenga , Super Smash Bros, and pinball . Pretty straight forward beer/mixed drinks for the area.

Shalimar

Board games , video games and huge projector screens. The birthday special is pretty sweet. Free drinks and a free pizza . Free popcorn year round!

Evan Allen

This bar is badass. They have game consoles like N64 and Wii, as well as big Jenga , and other various board games . Most importantly, the drinks are cheap

Micaela Manley

Jenga , punching bag, shuffle board , pool, giant connect four , basketball , and beer pong master. Serves pizza , chips and salsa , and a big hot pretzel , no mustard included, each for $4. Games are $2.

Graylyn Roose

This bar has tons of games. Giant Jenga and Connect 4, as well as pinball , a pool table and more. Also: free popcorn !

Benny Lewis

If you aren't playing the games, maybe hang out at the bar , but not as a group standing at the end deeper in. There is a bathroom line there that you will inevitably be blocking and her interrupted

Zayed Khan

Good beer selection , giant jenga , and giant connect four . Hard to complain about this place. Seems quite popular with out-of-towners, but that comes with the territory for this kind of establishment.

Adrian Davidson

Comedy Bar now has Wifi , hot sandwiches , free popcorn with your beer , energy drinks, a $9 sandwich & beer lunch special , and you can drink and eat free all night on your bday if you bring 10 friends!

David Weinberger

Such a cool place- life size Jenga and Connect Four , coin pinball machines , a projector playing old silent films ... Awesome.

Hien Ly

Pinball machines , giant Jenga and giant connect four ... Super comfy couches in the back and huge tvs connected to Netflix and game consoles. I want to live here!

Theresa Roldan

Giant Jenga , giant connect four , AND foosball topped with a great selection of beer ? This place is awesome. The crowd, the vibe, the fun

Marissa Stuart

See a show at the PIT Loft next door and you can get 3 dollars off your frist drink. Great comedy + cheap beers = perfection.

Jason Silverman

After work spot for lots of local agencies, so can get crowded . Good if you wanna mingle with lots of people. Giant connect four and projected Nintendo systems

Katie Eytch

The games are cool but the clientele is a mess. Business suit bros who will push you to cut the bathroom line ruins a bar that's supposed to be fun. Everyone chill . It's midtown.

Larissa Alvarez

Low key during the day. Pinball , giant jenga and connect four . Comfy couches . Popcorn . Gets packed later on.

Sean Smith

If drinking and watching funny cat videos or old Captain America cartoons is your thing, this might be your bar . Also: pinball !

Jaclyn R

Solid place to grab a beer and they have games, including pinball ! Happy hour specials too

D. G.

I love this bar . Their game selection is fun and it's more and more fun once you start taking those shots :-)

Cece L

If you love tequila as much as I do, then you must try the blueberry margarita .

Michael P.

Fun bar , lots of games , and happy hour 2-7 p.m. daily. Definitely a great spot to chill with a group of friends.

melissa caron

Pinball , oversized table games, good music , silly movies , good drinks, great staff !

Brendan Jordan

Ali has a knack for starting businesses, I suppose. This place took a little while to fgure out its name, or its identity, but it's coming along. The Saturday crowd has become insufferable, however.

Amy Johnson Cook

Back seating area with giant jenga , board games , couches and nice skylight makes a great place to hang.

Scott Sklar

Best bar in all of New York! Ask about playing Mario cart on Nintendo 64,they have it!

Ryan Campbell

Great place for bar games , they are all located in the back. Fun vibes here.

Carol

Bar with tons of games/ pinball , etc. good for groups , can get noisy

Michael Pilch

Decent beer selection , but you should come here to hang out with friends and play giant Jenga or Connect 4

Daniel Hakimi

Drinks aren't cheap , but they're free on your birthday!

KWOTE SCRIPTURES

Cool venue. Nice stage and couches in the back. Good wait staff on hand. Would visit again.

Moire Plenti

Really awesome couches and giant TVs in the back. Kinda like someone's living room made into a bar .

Nitzan B

Big place with tones of games and cool vibes!

David Stephens

Lively vibe and games can be played at your table.

Mikahla Vicino

So much space in the back. It's all about the connect 4.

Marissa Stuart

Gotham City Karaoke league nights are where it's at! Especially Tuesday nights!

Drewski

Lots of space and good beer selection , but in that weird Penn-Station-bar-area and has that feel to it.

Royalty

IF YOU CAN BEAT SECURITY 1 ON 1 IN SUPER SMASH HE WILL BUY YOU A DRINK

Mike Sherman

Wait in line in the cold to play videogames you have in a box in your parents' basement with drinking the same booze you get everywhere

Adelina W

Comfy couches in the back. They have trivia game cards floating around too.

Prince Thomas

Big games like Connect 4 and Jenga are great!

Steph Schneider

Awesome games and atmosphere but not enough bathrooms for the size

Vimal Kumar

Great environment and the staff is friendly .

angry natalie

Time stops here. Wait 15min for the bartender to see that you'd like a beer -- though it might be your last, as they should go out of business soon.

Shay Styles

Great drinks cool that you drink for free on your birthday

Michael I.

Happy hour is 2-7pm everyday. $4 Bud/Bud Light $6 well drinks .

sonia

lots of games -- video games , large connect four , etc.

Michael Melli

Surprising interior after a neon infused facade. One or two decent craft beers . Popcorn . Ok place.

Carlos

Nice place to grab a beer !

Nick Douglas

They serve a few kinds of grilled cheese , but the hot dogs are more price-effective.
