Really like this place. Mellow post-punk 80s music, ambiance could suit pretty much any situation, good selection of liquor, great specials.

Totally for hipsters! One pool table in back. Two arcade games: big buck hunter and pinball Spiderman. Cute Xmas lighting going on. Um?

Before HiFi bar, there was Brownies. A hot spot during the "new rock revival" of the early 2000s, The Strokes, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Liars all played gigs before the venues close in 2002.

Photo booth coins cost $5 at the bar. Be ready when you drop the coin, it goes fast!

Drawing a crowd young & old, each searching for the bohemia the venue is historically renowned for, the HiFi has evolved with time. Read more

Photo booth, kickass juke box, $3 happy hour on Sunday Funday... Vegetarian chili is decent too. Do it.

A nice, gritty throwback of the alphabet city of days past. Still a slightly above-average dive at best.

One of the few places left in NYC with a real vintage black & white photo booth.

Check out the rotating art from several local artists over the next couple of months.

Everyone's a critic, and most people are DJs, especially with their mind-blowing jukebox. I think it's IBM Watson's burnout older brother...

First time I've seen a Dj with vinyl! Pricy bar but the musics pretty good

Star Trek pinball hidden in the back, but (as of Jan 2014) looks like they're in the middle of a renovation so the back is kind of a wasteland.

all the music you love, if you love good music. Good (simple) bloody marys. They make their own mix there, but don't expect a celery stick or olives.

Awesome dive bar! Good prices and comfy atmosphere.

They're remodeling but forgive them. Nice little vibe and great deals.

Beers, photo booth, pool table. What more could you want??! It's the quintessential dive bar I just can't quit!

Best jukebox. Nicest bar staff. Medicinal picklebacks. Great bar.

the colors on the sign outside make it look like it's gonna be super douchey inside, but it's actually really cool. i love big ass christmas lights!

See that comment below from "Michael Aiingorn" (Ayngorn, Einhorn, Aingorn, etc.) of "FTTF"? He is a criminal scam artist. Don't accept one of his ATMs. His real supposed company is called FTF Inc.

Liang ShiFebruary 23, 2014
$3 drafts during happy hour. In manhattan. I almost can't believe it.
Zack BeattyMay 15, 2013
Not a good venue for all of these Music:Tech meetups: overcrowded, poor acoustics, & awkward layout requires impossible trek between front & back (for example, to visit restroom, or to fetch a drink).

Private room with private bar for 30 people http://www.thehifibar.com/parties/
