This dive bar with books is one of the last great punk bars in the East Village with a phenomenal jukebox. It's punky but not kitschy. Ramshackle in the best way. The bartenders are all tattooed ladies with a heart of gold who don’t take any shit.
The drink: It’s a dive bar, so think cheap beer. There’s liquor to shoot or mix, and the bartenders will make you a cocktail if you ask (and they feel like it) but this isn’t the place for mixology.
Happy Hour Deals and Details: Absolutely insane. Monday - Friday: 5pm-8pm. Drinks are two for the price of one (per person, so don’t try sharing with a friend or you’ll get a stern warning if not the boot). The bartender will hand you a little plastic toy to use as a chit for the second drink, so don’t lose it.
