Secret tip: this dive bar has a pool table and jukebox all the way in the back. Check out their late-night ragtime shows on Tuesdays!

DoubleDeuce

There are two vibes in here, at the dark bar and in the brighter back room that has games and a pool table . One is bound to fit your mood. Great art on the walls and great drink prices too.

Ben Mackey

Some of the best live jazz in the city every Tuesday night after 11:30. Be warned - it is crowded . $5 suggestion tip for the band.

Roman Garcia

No need to ask for happy hour , the drinks are always cheap . $5 well , $4 Guinness pints on Thursday and an eclectic gang of characters. Feels like home for those looking for a place to land.

Tarnima Sabed

"Tuesday evenings at Mona’s, when the city ’s best saxophonists and trumpeters drop in for late-night jazz jams with the Mona’s Hot Four , the bar’s house band" 11pm - 3am

On Tuesday night there is a lot jazz musicians play beautiful live music . Such an open-piano-night :)

Mona tried to tell me to stay away from the train lines . They say that all those railroad men just drink up your blood like wine ; Bob Dylan; Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, 1966

It’s hh all day everyday here. Dive bar but specials only for crap beer like Miller High Life. Best beer on special? Labbats Blue if you ask me.

Katelyn L

$5 well drinks & draughts , a pool table , skee ball , and a jukebox . Plenty of space in the back room to sit down & chat with your friends, even on a weekend night.

Compass

Mona’s keeps it simple with just a pool table , a few stools, and a killer jukebox . It’s one of the East Village’s many beloved dive bars .

Great swing music on Tuesday nights after 23. Mona's Hot Four rocks!!!

Marc Mayer

Bring jukebox money, sometimes it gets quiet . And then you overhear the Tinder date at the table next to you. Aaawwwwkwaard.

Best Guinness in ABC City ($3 on Thursdays). The juke is worth a few bucks too.

New York Habitat

This bar is great when you are a Jazz music fan! Join the Tuesday night jam , it starts at 12 am. :-)

Bonobos

One of the best dive bars in the city . $3 PBRs all the time. (A nice respite from the ridiculousness of White Noise. Just across the street.)

Bon

Skeeball 3 games for $1 AND with prizes. Umm, WAY better than that *other* post-hipster skeeball bar nearby

Andrea TK

Don't miss the open jazz gigs that they have on tuesday nights .

Tim Vetter

Astonishingly good bluegrass session on Monday nights, possibly the best I seen in six years in Manhattan & Brooklyn.

Serious Eats

If you like Guinness , pints are only $3 here on Thursdays!

Leah M.

The jukebox is great - no endless loops of Sweet Caroline-Don't Stop Believin'-Livin' On a Prayer here.

Gabrielle Zigi

Cheapest bar in nyc! $3 pbr , $5 vodka sodas , $5 wines , $4 bud lights !

Melissa S

Ragtime Tuesday!!! And they have proper Ireland-style Guinness , a killer juke & pool.

Bob F.

The jukebox is pretty fantastic!

Alan

Mona's, Sophie's and Josie's are all under same ownership and great.

My first "regular" bar in New York. Still feels like home after all these years.

Bluegrass on Mondays

David Scott

Bluegrass Mondays... Always a treat

Charlie Sneath

Really low key and relaxed.

Angie

Drink a Tom Collins , start a money pile, and let that wasted random douchebag buy you and everyone else at the bar a drink at 2am.

Cowrie Shell

Great bluegrass ; possibly the worst bartender ever.

Jeffrey Buesing

Never order a Moscow Mule !
