Solid wings and cheap beer, this was our college haunt in the vanuted "tri-bar" area. They began to raise prices and tried to make the place go from dive to chic (without replacing any of the decor) and charging a cover, so I went less and less before I graduated. Locally owned, and there was a huge Sharks vs. Jets street fight outside my last night of college, something I sadly will never forget. I also fondly recall "DJ iPod" as we dubbed him, he of never playing real music on turntables, only blasting the latest Pitbull jam through some speakers on his portable music player. He also would look through a curiously placed hole in the women's bathroom from time to time.
Review Source:I use to love this place. I would tell my friends all over NYC that minus the under grads this was a great place to drink and hang with friends. They just raised prices on pitchers of beer to $11.00 and to me thats way to much I will walk the extra .5 miles and go to tinker and pay half that.
Review Source:I went here after work with some coworkers.
The ambience was cool with palm trees and the wait staff was pleasant and attentive.
I had 2 screwdrivers at 5 bucks a pop and chicken fingers with curly fries. There was nothing unique about the quality or style of this place BUT it's a cool place to enjoy your group over cocktails and food in the late afternoon for sure! My long island was made with some dark liquor that kind of threw me off but.....
I'll be back :)
Maybe the dive-iest bar that I've visited in a long time, AND I LOVED IT. It's a typical college bar right down the street from Fordham University that plays all the old classic rock jams and encourages beer pong tournaments. I can see why students love this place as the beer is cheap and around the corner from amazing pizza joints. If I'm ever back in the Bronx, I hope to visit again.
Review Source:*Disclaimer* I worked here 5 years ago for approximately 2 months. I realized that I was never going to learn how to bartend, and the owners were never going to learn my name.
It is a typical college bar on Arthur Ave for all of the Fordham kids. The place meshes 8 tacky themes into a small bar, including 'tiki beach,' 'sports mecca,' 'dive bar,' and 'italian pride.' It looks like they went to a Party Decoration store and just bought whatever was on sale.
Obviously the food is not good. Their 'famous wings' actually made my partner SICK last night!! He got BBQ wings and felt horrendous a few hours later and we had eaten nothing else. I'd say stay away from all their food and just drink beer.
The happy hours are fine and due to the college bar guidelines that they follow, you can buy a pitcher of beer for $6-8.
Unless you work in the area or go to Fordham there's really no reason to go. We were attempting to have a walk down memory lane. No outdoor seating and in the summer its never crowded.
Also the "bathrooms" Â have curtains as doors and are smaller than my NYC closet. The curtains are quite uncomfortable and reveal you more than you'd probably planned.
I'm a college student, who needs to get drunk once in a while. One night last wekk, my friends and I decided to check out Tribar, the three-bar "triangle" in the Bronx where all the Fordham kids go. We went to howl because it wasn't as packed as Mugzs or Ziggys, but I don't like it more than the other two.
After paying the ridiculous $15 cover to get in, we found out that a drink-up was going on and we didnt have any wristbands. Pissed off, we decided what we were going to do next. I decided that, since this is the only bar that serves food. Id try some of their nachos. At $9, it was expensive, but at least the nachos were plentiful, and actually fairly decent. Granted, the jalapenos were canned, the guacamole was preservative-laced, and the cheese wasn't fully melted, but it was all right as a bar snack, but not at the price of $9 i can assure you.
I will probably go back there, or dragged there as the case will probably be, but based on that night, it isn't exactly a place I put on my bar crawl list.
I use to live about 1 minute from Howl, so I went there out of convenience only.
The good food can't make up for the lousy music, poor--and overpriced--beer selection, and annoying crowd at night.
How they haven't been sued for having the same name as a more popular and nicer chain is beyond me.
Typical college bar.
All right, it's time to add a star. Why? After all the agony and unwanted encounters?
The bartenders really are nice, but that's not why. Suits, who manages Mugzs down the street, is a sicko who has too many times let his horny/rejected sentiments run rampant on my rare ventures thus chasing me to Howl, but that's not why. When someone selectively took my coat from Howl one night I never recovered it, so that's not why.
Well, WHY then? Because I am a senior, and I am going to leave this hole of shallow, Corona-drinking scum soon. And until then, I am going to attend all the senior nights Fordham will host for me. When the dependably shitty dj becomes too much to bear on those nights, I will head to Howl where only seniors will be allowed in to continue their inebriated denial, ineptitude, and temporary self-destruction. And for that I will give any bar...
one more star.
Still, bad job for hiring the douche I used to date to dj monthly on Thursdays. I've been told their debut night at Howl was the first beat Thursday night they've had in a while. I could've told you that would happen. What a fail.
This place is a dive bar, but we go here on occasion after work so I can't complain. But i am going to anyway. The main reason I don't like this place is the women's room is gross. It is always dirty and has a weird shower curtain instead of an actual stall door. The music is good and for a dive bar the food is actually not that bad. I wouldn't go for dinner but if you are drinking and need food it is pretty good which is why I gave it an extra star. The fried ravioli is delicious. The Fordham kids hate when all the teachers invade on Friday afternoons.
Review Source:By day - restaurant. By night - college bar.
It's more a bar than a restaurant. I think in the bar aspect, it fails horribly. It's no more than a small room with neon lights, cheesy decor and music coming out of someone's laptop. It charges cover, is always packed and can be tons of fun, depending on the crowd. It's a college bar, what can you expect?
2 stars because their burgers, fries and other bar food is OFF THE HOOK.
Food isn't bad..known for Freshman & Sophomore crowds. Â Not a bad place to go if you're a Fordham student without a fake id, but because of that they charge a little more and have random cover charges. If you are a guy looking for sloppy girls this is probably your best chance of finding them, but be careful because there has been some shady things happen around there
