Bring your white friends here and watch the hilarity ensue. This bar is awesome for its cheap drinks and mellow atmosphere. Reminds me of being back in SoCal.

The Corcoran Group

One of our favorite dive/tiki bars in all five boroughs. Start at 8am with the old men or come later for great jukebox tunes , trashy barteders and a lot of dancing !

Lindsey D

I spent $10 on a margarita made from the mix you buy at the store, poured directly out of the plastic bottle and then wondered into which alternate universe I had stepped. Strip club ? Uncertain.

Fred Camino

Literally the most authentic place in NYC, ironically near the heart of Times Square. Not a single Edison Bulb in sight. Irony, and people like me, will surely be the death of this place.

Daniel Kahn

Best dive bar in shouting distance of Penn Station. Drinks are cheap . Spanish is the primary language.

Stacy Bengtson

This place has a huge selection of alcohol but no bartender to handle it. Its way 2 divey . When you come in expect no signature drinks - pick well style.

Village Voice

Critics' Pick winner of The Village Voice Best of NYC 2012 Best Fascinating Sports Bar !

Mat Thies

It has been referred to as "a strip club without the stripping." Expect exactly that. This place could actually be a decent bar if anyone there cared or at least pretended to.

Nicole Gilpin

This place is not safe for women, some people of color, or those in the LGBTQ community. The fact that they overcharge for watered down drinks is just the icing on the cake . Stay clear of this place.

Dustin

They have beer .

Hell&

Order a Presidente . Enjoy the atmosphere..

Christine Arboleda

Divey awesomeness

This is the "Distinguished" Wacmba, lest you all forget!!

Will Crocker

Ordering alcohol is a surprisingly difficult process

Andrew Lowe

High Latin population but staff is very friendly .

Nancy Tran

Can't believe -yet I can- that they ran out of Presidente !

Tom Duffy

One of the few places in NYC to get Presidente

the first rule of wakamba is that you don't talk about wakamba

@Hagan

The carpet doesn't smell nearly as beery as last time... kinda disappointed
