Favorite dive bar in New York
Like the subject says. Figured this would be a fun one for Friday afternoon.
Mine is Rudy's, for what it's worth. There's nothing better than a $5 whiskey and beer special plus a free hot dog.

International bar in the east village.
Good one. Also a fan of Grassroots right around the corner.
Years ago got kicked out of there by the he/ she bartender as I was viciously making out with my GF at like 2pm in the afternoon. Good times still.
More geared to young crowd but Union Pool in Brooklyn, does have a nice taco truck inside
Also a good spot, it's been forever since I've been there, let alone Brooklyn.
How are the tacos? I've never tried.
Only had once but they're actually very good, not sure what time they close. Most of the time when I get there it's already shut down for the night.
The Patriot The Duck Yogi's aka Bear Bar - RIP Phil Hughes(god bless you if you find this place, actual alcoholics go here) OP- Rudy's is awesome. Whiskey Tavern Desmonds Montero's on Atlantic
Circa 2000 Bar None Aces and Eights The West End Pat O'briens Session 77
Phil Hughes is about a 5 minute walk from my apartment, ha.
have you been at peak hour? And by that I mean 10am on a weekday.
.
Off the wagon
Manitoba's on Ave B is also a solid choice.
lol I used to live beside Manitobas
Mehanata near ludlow has a sub-zero freezer room with cold-war schemata consisting of a given soviet garb that must be put on at the door and unlimited vodka shots.
Desmond's.
Let's just say that I went to high school in the city, and before the bouncer started for the evening their carding policies back in the day would have given the compliance/anti-money laundering people fits.
If your birth year is accurate, we may well have been there on the same Saturday once or twice.
Saturdays??
I come from a good catholic family. My parents were not prone to let me go out on weekends. Weekday evenings on the other hand...
Fluties.
7B - East Village
aka Vazacs bar or Horseshoe bar
on 7th and B
Also there is a bar on 5th street in between A and B with skee ball and cheap PBRs forget the name.
Are you thinking of Ace Bar? That's a solid choice. Also Sophie's on 5th but closer to Ave A than Ace bar is a good small spot with cheap booze and a pool table.
Yeah, Ace bar! Thats it.
Anyone a fan of Snafu?
Never heard of snafu. Did you ever hear of employees only? How is that club?
Came here to see at least 1 person say Rudy's, was not dissappointed lol
Peretzel have you ever been to employees only?
the one on ave b and 2nd. real grungy
bump. going to NYC next week for the first time since covid and wondering if any of these have changed, I see Rudy's is reopening on Sunday so will be checking that out. thoughts?
Nice - I’m jealous
Otto’s Shrunken Head
169 bar
JJ Kinihans! Good location in Chelsea, not expensive and the atmosphere is chill.
Snafu
Jimmy's corner - a boxing themed dive and one of the few remaining dives in Times Square. Jimmy passed away from Covid but I'm glad the place reopened. It's an oasis in an otherwise terrible area.
Key bar in east village.. has that euro techno thing during night and some characters during the earlier hours. Atilla, the Hungarian owner will pour you some Hungarian moonshine if you ask.
Key bar is so underrated for when you’re trying to get after it (happy hour until 10 PM which I think includes 2-for-1 deals), also has such an eclectic crowd. Belle Reve in Tribeca is another interesting place - nothing would necessarily make you think it’s different than any other bar but it really runs the gamut on the crowd it draws (at least pre COVID)
For Brooklyn, beyond Union Pool I’d mention:
- Horse & Divorces (has a pool table)
- Cobra Club
- Pearl’s Social & Billy Club
- Carmelo’s (dangerously cheap drinks, also has pool tables on the 2nd floor)
- Double Windsor (beer bar, good stuff on draft and lowkey vibe)
- Hops Hill (same as Double Windsor)
- Lucky 13 Saloon (heavy metal bar, go-go dancers on the bar - bring singles)
- Brooklyn Inn (really cool architecture as it’s an old building from the 1800’s)
