CassidyMarch 21, 2015if my hangover is any reference for how excellent the drinks are, the drinks are very, very, very, very excellent. best tunes of any bar in the EV too.
Village VoiceMay 17, 2016The nontraditional piña colada, And His Hair Was Perfect, is made with white Caña Brava rum, Kalani coconut liqueur, fresh lime, and pineapple, then served over crushed ice with an Angostura float. Read more
The New YorkerMay 7, 2015“Fifty years ago, the Holiday opened at 8 A.M., a former bartender recently told a proprietor, so that high-rise window washers could come in 'to get a little courage.'” Read more
Red & BrownAugust 29, 2015Solid cocktails at an East Village institution. No such thing as a bad drink here, and the playlist is always on point.
Time Out New YorkAugust 1, 2011Meat-and-potatoes classic rock just sounds better on the jukebox at this inviting East Village mainstay. Settle into one of its comfy leather booths, order a Bud-and-whiskey combo ($7) and nod along. Read more
Alfred M.February 23, 2018decent sunday happy hour from 4-8pm. super chill in here. it's a hidden gem, so uhh-- dont tell your friends.- Anna SantiagoJuly 13, 2016Favorite low key bar. Old school east village, authentic and hidden gem. Good for when you just want to chill.
Breeze SkrrtJuly 23, 2015There's a bartender here who makes cocktails While singing harmonies to the amazing playlist. Almost worth going just for that.
- This place is great. The bar tenders are quick and friendly. Lewis and the guys get it done. The oatmeal cookie shot is awesome, even if you're a dude. Tell Steph and Meliss- the roomates- I said hi.
Mervin HernandezJune 18, 2017The staff are very friendly, the cocktails are sighed well, and the vibe is really good, although a little loud.
Gabriel SeidelJanuary 15Go on off hours when it’s not crowded. Good vibes and the bartenders are great.
Chris EJuly 18, 2015Don't be fooled by all the kids ordering crap drinks. They make a mean cocktail. Try the Lost Hollywood.
Warren BobrowDecember 19, 2012It used to host luminaries such as William Burroughs and Alan Ginsberg. And punks. And drunks and junkies and college kids and down on their luck drinkers who came for 50 cent beers.
Nitzan BNovember 6, 2016Very cool cocktail place with good music selection. The staff was real nice too
Great place for a solid drinks in an authentic retro lounge.
Kathryn DJuly 18, 2019Better in winter than summer but so nice to find a bar that doesn’t rely on its concept to serve food drinks.
The Wry Grin is hard to beat, and they also make a mean Manhattan. 🍸
- It was obnoxiously busy on a Friday night...so standing was the only option. Which was rough. And not so conducive to the drinks. Good spot though.
Emily WilsonFebruary 11, 2016A cool, old-fashioned spot with decent cocktails. Sadly, it feels a bit outdated.
- Alex RobertsonJanuary 23, 2019everything is a little expensive. add CBD oil to your pizza for 10 dollars if you want I guess

WillMcDAugust 16, 2011I love this place. Feel's like something out of the 70's. Xmas lights all year round
Dan MoneyDecember 22, 2022the drinks are decent but crazy overpriced for what the place is. music is trash. service is abominable- Simran DassJanuary 16, 2023I got a pineapple daqueri which was ok - nothing special. The food was super mediocre & so was the service. I probably wouldn’t go again.
Robert KilpatrickMarch 31, 2010It's a dive...so what else than their Bud & Jager shot dirt cheap combo. Be careful. ..You might feel like 21 again.
