Good vibes. Love the graffiti artwork. There's a slamming sushi place around the area if you want a bite to eat. The bar itself has music that isn't too loud, but not too quiet either. There is a room in the back for extra privacy should you need it. Bathrooms aren't completely filthy like typical NYC bar bathrooms are as well. The prices for drinks are also very good.
This place embodies the punk rock energy of the Lower East Side with its walls covered in stickers and graffiti, dim red lighting, and an awesome rock/punk soundtrack blasting in the background. The $3 beers and $5 beer + shot combos offer incredible value. Bartender Dmitri was hilarious and made us feel right at home. Although it’s a small space, the vibe is just perfect. We ended up spending around $15 per person for several drinks. This is a real dive bar done right, and I’ll definitely be back often! 4-Star Review
