Fantastic happy hour specials and a cozy back room with sofas and book lined walls. Also, foosball , arcade games and beer pong . Dense and rowdy college crowd on weekends and late nights . Very relaxed
A great place to play beer pong and feel like you're back in college again. My best suggestion is going during drink specials and trying to get a seat in the back library room. So much quieter !
Amazing deals every night of the week! Tables fill up quickly on the weekends for watching sports
Nice and chill dive bar ... Not trashy or dumpy (like the other bar they own, 13th Step)!! Decent prices and draft beer selection too
Until 8pm every day- 3 dollars for craft beers , 2.50 for shots. I have yet to find a cheaper bar in NYC. Not somewhere I'd go to meet new people, but fun to get a group together for some day drinking .
Are the beer pong tables all filled up? Why not try the Gin Mill just a few steps north? All the way in the back are some tables that usually have shorter lines than Jake's!
I love this bar ! Great classic rock music , friendly service , drink specials every night and plenty of space to spread out. Nabe fave!
Check out their back room, a cozy space with armchairs and bookshelves, which is perfect for parties and small gatherings!
Bar is very bro-ish. The service is friendly . Beer section is not that large. A "general bar ".
Great place but I don't like the new rules. You can't wear timberland boots, can't wear a certain attire and you can't wear headphones even on a phone call. It blows when your a paying customer.
This is a popular bar with great music , food and also beer pong tables for your entertainment!
Great spot for sitting outside and idling away a Friday night. Great deal for pitchers only $10 until 8 PM.
Another typical bar with decent happy hour specials . Beer pong , flip cup, and all the things to relive your college years
Some of the best prices in NY. $2.50 happy hour beer , $1 on Mondays, $4 you call it Weds... Living room is pretty classy for a "dive bar "
Happy Hour here is from 3-8pm and everything is half price - on top of the everyday daily specials !
The best of several terrible options available on the UWS if you insist on going out in this neck of the woods. At least they didn't charge for my pineapple juice & soda water mix.
Arrive early (and bring 2 teams) if you wanna play beer pong , otherwise you'll either be out of a table or forced to play people you don't wanna hang with
Great music and friendly atmosphere ! Ask Jake if you want some good live-music venues recommendations in Manhattan, he rocks!
College bar where drinks are always cheap , great service and great social customers.
Every now and then you need to play some pong and get fratty . Do it here.
There's a pool table , and it's a very open bar . I enjoyed my friend's birthday here.
Beer pong , cheap shots good for a casual night with a group of friends.
The bartenders and bouncers are the MOST fun anywhere. Be sure not to just ask for "a shot", you'll get warm house gin -- and deserve it.
One of the cheapest bars in NYC. Half off everything till 8p daily. ($6.50 pitchers ), then nightly specials. Good times.
Great neighborhood dive. Superb happy hour deals
Good prices for beer and shots. Worth going in to warm up and play some beer pong
Slider burgers topped with fried mac'n cheese , plus they have a living room to sit and enjoy. WORD!!!
Domestic drafts for $2... Beat that!
Good place to have fun with friends. Laid-back atmosphere.
Great college bar , get the fish bowl with your friends.
Solid specials for game watching. That is all id come for.
Nothing wrong with sitting outside drinking picklebacks on a nice summer day.
Enjoy some of the best happy hour specials in NYC!
Good sports bar to have one or two drinks in the area
If you walk in and the place is empty & quiet . Get in and grab a table. If it's crowded and loud ...find another bar . Seriously!
Beer games and soccer table and great vibes
The "healthy option " is a great choice if you have about 10,000 calories to spare.
Half off drinks on weekdays until 830 is a steal
Daily specials , always crowded on game days.
Cleaner than I remember 4 years ago. Solid wings
Cheap beer , a mirror image of Gin Mill down the road
Wednesday's are best for sure: $3 you-call-it's any shot, mixed drink or beer is just $3!
The living room in the back is awesome if you're there with a bunch of friends.
Best Happy Hour in the city - hands down.
1/2 off beer 8pm-close on Tuesdays
Beer pong and 9 dollar pitchers on Tuesday. What else could you want?
Best place for happy hour . Wings are good too.
Great place to have a drink ????
$3 beers and shots! Fun atmosphere !
Cheap beer and pong. Chill place
Great selection of beers, free hot dogs and awesome staff. Love this little dive bar! - Sue
Their whiskey selection is pretty dope. I definitely misjudged them based on appearance! - Lady Smile
Amazing bar with unbelievably amazing food. A must visit while in NY. - Danel Abreu
Solid Irish Pub with great lunch fare and plenty of TV sets for sporting events. - Karl With A "K"
Great little bar. Great service. Great day crowds and evening crowds. Mostly regulars hanging out. Home. - Ed Lizarraga
One of the best draft selections on the UWS. Smaller but good. - Daniel Powell
