Mad River Bar & Grill

Compared to all the other bro'y and overpriced bars that you can find in the UES, I think that Mad River holds its own pretty well. Drinks are reasonably priced; they've got themselves a DJ that actually knows his shit when it comes to playing a versatile mix of music; and it's always a crazy time when I go. It's the type of bar that can appeal to the late night dance crowd on a weekend, sports fans that want to watch their team & eat cheap wings, or those college students/recent grads that need a place with cheap happy hours.

The staff was really nice and the bar was clean. We came here on a Friday evening hoping to find a happy hour special but were disappointed. They have a VIP happy hour which is a good deal if you live in the neighborhood. Membership is $10 and you receive several food and drink items at a discount.

Went here for the first time a few weeks ago and didn't expect much but was very pleasantly surprised.  Had a great time and trivia was a blast.  Definitely would recommend anyone into trivia and free on Tuesday to head over to Mad River for a really good time.
