Ok. This I definitely my happy hour spot. The best I've seen yet! My favorite specials are the 1/2 priced appetizers, 2 for one drink power hour and late night happy hour from 1am - 4pm. Also the Yelp check-in deal for a BOGO drink is awesome.

As far as the food, I've tried the mac and cheese balls, meatball sliders and buffalo wings. The first two were delicious, but the wings were a little on the overly breaded soggy side which is a big no-no for me.

Will definitely be back for happy hour and those mac and cheese balls!

I love this place! They are only a block away from me, which is free brownie points for them. In a neighborhood full of uninteresting cheap bars catering to the Columbia U masses, they maintain some personality.

Both times I've gone, every member of the staff has taken especially good care of me and made me always wanting to come back. The bartender, Cortne, is a particular favorite.

The drinks are great. I particularly love their gin cocktail (the name escapes me). Their draft beers are a wonderful diversion from the plain-jane domestics you usually see. Their bottled beer selection includes lots of local breweries and great natioanl brands. They always have a good special, even if you can't make it during happy hour.

The atmosphere is the perfect mix of upbeat bar and relaxing neighborhood spot. The music they play is always good. I would recommend to anyone!

I love this place for the atmosphere. It's a small, friendly place that is a welcome alternative to the places bursting with students. Most days they are playing some sports event, which normally would bother me but it really adds to the atmosphere of this bar. They have a different deal every day (sunday funday, tequila thursdays, martini mondays, etc) so you can always get a great deal! The drinks are pretty bad, so you're better off sticking with their many draft beers, but for the price, the friendly service, great ambience and awesome crowd it's totally worth it.
