Jess, Graham, Darion, Anya, Porter Bob and the Durgs are just absolutely amazing .. best place to go in the rain or anytime. Awesome BANDS and adorkable people! Sounds of saints and sinners all alike … great late spot!

We are in an era when a relatively cheap and not super crowded bar in the east village (or anywhere really) is extremely rare. This is not only a reasonable place but it is also one that plays Star Trek and Godzilla movies. Highly recommend.

Had a great time visiting the bar and was able to meet the bar owner who gave the place a very welcoming atmosphere. Was served by a fantastic bartender by the name of Graham who can pour a damn good beer and water. 10/10 would visit again - Aaron from Ohio

Daríon and Graham, my two favorite East Village bartenders are kings. The vibe they bring and attention to patrons is unparalleled. Thank you homies for always making my time here a safe space to live life. And they let me bring my dog!!!

Wowza! Had a pint with some pals on a Thursday night and was surprised to see that the bar does live music karaoke. Ended up staying til midnight and belting out a couple Beatles songs
