I stepped back into Tom & Jerry's now over 5 years since my last review, and I feltthat it had not changed one bit. Â The drinks were still affordable; the bar was still packed with a great looking, yet causal and unpretentious, crowd; the staff was still positive and friendly; and the background music was still entertaining and at the perfect decibel. Â
I could mention how my Watermelon Cooler and St. Germain Cosmo were just OK, or how the bar was annoying cash only, but there were just too many other reasons to praise this laidback and cool bar. Â Also worthy of note would be the fact that Tom & Jerry's would act as an appropriate venue for various occasions - birthdays, dates, and certainly happy hour.
I believe this is a Wisconsin theme bar, as our WI native friend chose it for his birthday celebration and said people come here to watch Green Bay games during the season.
The cocktails here are fabulous, and seemingly seasonal. I had a cucumber cilantro cooler, which is amazing for a sunny July afternoon drink. Everything was fresh and expertly mixed. It's cash only, and the prices seem fair for the quality.
Note that it is cash only, but there's and atm nearby. Also, there are 3 giant taxidermy trophies on the wall (moose, buffalo and ox). Very chill place.
The drinks here are great and extremely reasonably priced. They have a ton of cocktail options (9 dollars each), which is fantastic. The atmosphere is good for going with people or meeting new people. It's quiet enough to talk, but not so quiet that it is uncomfortable. And there is plenty of seating and space. I didn't feel like I was getting pushed around at all, but I also didn't feel like the bar was empty.
Review Source:pretty low key. Â i'm not too crazy bout the two drinks i had... too sweet, too much alcohol... had ginger martini and spicy ginger
but what i really like bout this place is how not crowded it gets. Â tons of seating area, no rowdiness, no wait for restrooms.
just the occasional crazy hipster bartender dancing on the table like an episode of bar rescue... maybe tip... don't go too crazy or u'll run away the customers!
Ended up in here while crawling around the area because the facade was interesting.  This is def a fun place to go if you want to feel rustic and at home.  Wooden benches and bison heads on the wall added to the sausage fest that was inside.  But not in a bad way! They had fantastic beer choices and amazing cocktails chalked up on the wall.  I went for a watermelon martini which was like a cup of watermelon wisked vodka  Awesomeness.  We only had one, but could have easily hung out because it was so cozy.  And the drinks were priced really well, I think $11 each? There were a few wasted, sketchy people hanging out, but if you find a quiet spot with your pals you won't even care.
Review Source:I came here for happy hour with a friend. We actually wandered in here in search for sangria. The happy hour sangria wasn't exactly to my taste but it was nice as the day was hot and the tartness was refreshing. Overall it's a nice relaxing place and the bartender was really sweet! I'd come here again if I were in the neighborhood but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit all the time (as I live a ways from Manhattan itself).
Review Source:This bar CAN be a pretty chill place for drinks and conversations, but there have been times where I have been proven wrong by the folks that come to Tom & Jerry's after a certain hour on most nights. I say the cutoff for this place is to stay no later than 9:30p. Beyond this point, the music gets much louder and the crowd is there for reasons other than a conversation. Not to say, I have not been here past 9:30p but rather I'm on a different mindset than I was when I come here around 7p. The bartenders are pretty cool, but can be slow at times. The mixed drinks are standard and they steer clear of including umbrellas in your drink. I appreciate the consistent Duvel on tap and cool displays of T&J punch bowls. I do also love the huge moose on their wall. PS: Cash only
Review Source:Really laid back bar. Perfect for coming with a group of people after work to sit and chat. Music was good too without being overbearing. you won't get the wasted drunk messy folks here either. Good mix of people too.
Drinks were definitely cheaper than I'm used to at $9 a cocktail and I think my beer was $6-$8. Can't recall. But I'd definitely come again for sure.
PS- CASH ONLY. Â The Jerk ATM has a fee of $2.99.
PRO'S: Great booze, spacious, good scene. My favorite go-to bar. Sometimes there's free mixed nuts.
CON'S: Men's bathroom is a third-world hell hole. There's no "juke box", not sure what Yelp is talking about.
NOT SURE: Bartenders vary from cute & smiley chicks to intense & surly dudes.
A popular spot for my downtown coworkers, I've been to this location several times. Â If we're lucky we can snag the big table in the back, otherwise we cram ourselves at one of the tables. Â The bar itself is a bit divey, but I like that in a bar. Â
The services has always been decent whenever I've been here, which is usually straight after work. Â I don't recall there being any kind of happy hour special which is kind of a bummer for me. Â They usually have a bowl of trail mix. I'm not sure if we're suppose to help ourselves to the big jar of trail mix in the back, but I always do.
Anyway, this is a great after work bar to unwind after a day of hell!
Tom & Jerry's, where have you been all my life? In an area with a decent number of bars and restaurants, I didn't find Tom & Jerry's until recently. It's a long bar with perfectly sized wood benches and tables for 2-4 people, and a huge list of specialty drinks to go along with a solid list of beers on tap.
Behind the bar is shelving with tons of bowls with Tom & Jerry's emblazoned on them. What does that mean? Is it owned by a Tom & Jerry? Nope. Tom & Jerry is an egg-nog like drink and typically served in bowls. Â Something learned every day.
Great music in the background, and at least during the day/early evening this place is pretty busy. It might be more suited for an older crowd, but I think if you like a place with solid beer and a place to sit, you'll enjoy this spot.
In my opinion, this is a great spot for a drink, and it's the kind of spot where a drink can turn into several drinks. When I was here last, a party with catered food had ended and the party group offered up leftovers to everybody. Free food is good food!
Considering I'm a frequent visitor to the neighboring movie theaters, this will definitely become a pre-show destination.
We recently popped into Tom & Jerry's for after-dinner birthday drink for a friend. Â It was the first thing to pop up on the Yelp app in regards to our starting location. Â We decided we loved the name and headed over. Â From the outside, it looked crowded but not to the point we couldn't move or drink or enjoy ourselves. Â After we got inside, we elbowed our way to the back, where a small birthday party was taking place (not ours). Â We soon found more and more large groups heading in (which is to be expected since it was a Saturday night) but everyone seemed to be a frat boy on spring break. Â
We stuck around for a little while more until the crowd became unbearable. Â We could not make our way to the bar, people were shoving on another, and the music was incredibly loud. Â I'm really not trying to sound like an old granny here, but this was just unacceptable. Â We finally decided to go somewhere else and shoved (yes, because the frat boys would not move out of the way) our way outside and left. Â I would like to come back one day during happy hour, since I hear that's good and probably far less crowded. Â Oh well.
Cash only!
If you have the dough (i.e. cash), you'll have a great time here. It can get a bit  crowded, but its got a great low key vibe with super friendly bartenders and good music playing. Drinks are reasonably priced and if you are like me, you'll spend half of your time there trying to figure out what Tom and Jerry has to to do with Elk, a 6 point buck, and taxidermy. Dont spend too much time pondering though or else you'll miss out on the good times everyone is having. I'll be back here
bring cash and have a blasssssst - here's why:
BAR STAFF: Once I went with three friends and we were having such a drunken blast they bartender gave us bunny ears, crowns, and other party fare just because; another, I bummed a loosie for free for a friend when offering a dollar and got it fo' free
DRINKS: Â Oh, and they make deliciously strong cocktails, too. Â Any bar that has ginger beer for a dark and stormy really changes the night.
VIBE: the decor is weird but awesome, and the people pack the bar with more laughing awesomeness... I've been there a few times and everyone seems really smiley and drunk
LOCATION: how can't you love a spot surrounded by other Houston bars?
So I first came here many months ago, but I was having such a great time (came tipsy, left drunk) that I never got the name of this place. However after doing a sober walk-by, I knew I wanted to come back soon for a proper review.
And this past weekend, we did just that, and after my most recent visit, I think that I will go so far as to say that this is my new favorite bar in the city. The atmosphere is just awesome (casual but not quite a dive), the music is amazing, and the bartenders and crowd are generally wonderful too. They have some fun specials - there was an apple cider sangria this time.
Note: Cash only
So you've got a friend you haven't seen in a while? Why not grab a drink or five talk and have fun. Tom & Jerry's is a great place to to it. It's very easy to find (I took the D to Broadway-Lafayette and walked about 3 blocks to Elizabeth st. You'll find it right there on the corner.
When you first enter the first thing that'll strike you is the giant giant moose head to the right side. I loved it and kept staring like a moron at it lol. Also the bar is huge and very vintage.
Our bartender was super sweet. Nahir and I had several Corona's and I a huge shot of tequila (I swear it was more like a glass). There's chips and salsa for those who need something in their tummies before or during their drink fest.
The women's restroom wasn't bad either. Pretty clean but a tad small. I'd definitely would return back.
Tom & Jerry's has some great cocktails and a few decent beers.
I came after work and ordered a dark and stormy. It was $9 and the place doesnt have any happy hour deals. (Sorry, thats a must for me, no happy hour=no five stars)
The cocktail was pretty good, but I have had equally good ones other places.
The place got really crowded and there wasn't really anywhere to sit. it only has a bar and bunch of tables for two, and everything was filled up on a evening after work.
The bartenders were not very attentive but I understand because the place was busy.
This place is kind of like a dive, but a hipster dive if that is such a thing?
They also have free wasabi peas for people to snack on. Really spicy! Watch out!
It all started here. And it ended with me scraping what teeny tiny shreds of self-respect I have left off of the floor and into a thimble. Somewhere in the middle I sent a series of cringe-worthy texts that make me question my alcohol + phone capabilities. Also life.
The basics : Down to earth vibe. Deer head on the wall. Cash only. Typically gross bathrooms that may or may not have toilet paper on the floor. Good drinks. A happy hour. Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc. You get the picture.
I have been here a bunch of times but I'm not a fan. The only reason we came here last night was due to its proximity. T&J's is full of randoms and douches and not very attractive people. Sure, you can get into trouble here, but you can also get into trouble in Afghanistan. Doesn't mean you have to go there.
A quaint divey-ish feel bar where, sadly, no cat is chasing a mouse on Elizabeth Street.
Thursday night to meet up with a good friend early into the evening for availability of table booth. Â As the evening worn onward with the passage of time, Tom & Jerry's became packed with more after work patrons to seek solace filling the bar and rear lounge area. Â We were able to uphold an in-depth conversation comfortably albeit, without the deafening background music drowning our voices.
The power of observation surveys a lot of details for Tom & Jerry's atmospheric conditions. Â A miniature replica of a bronze statute "Lunch Atop A Skyscraper" 1932 famous photo by Charles C. Ebbets sits behind the bar. Â Two moose's are hung on the wall like old school log cabins, which baffles me if either or are slained animals or fake. Â Plasma TV fill the void for patrons to view their precious sports. Â Drinks hold substance amid no alcohol were in-taken by either of us, but price appear reasonable.
N.B. Â No food exist but patrons are permitted BYOF of choice or takeout order to be delivered.
What a fun little bar! Started out with a jalapeño margarita (disclaimer: I love anything spicy.) Enjoyed my drink. The music was great. Checked in on Foursquare. Admired the hipsters and geeks in glasses and beards and plaid. Pretended I was part of the digerati.
Couldn't figure out how to open the women's restroom. Hmmm...anyone know how?
This review will be brief. Â Tom and Jerry's is a solid place to have a few drinks. Â I came on a whim Friday night and it was super crowded. Â When we made it through the sea of skinny jeans and flannel, there was space in the back for our somewhat large party.
The music was loud. Â The kind of loud where you have to yell to converse. Â The tunes ranged from Black Keys (a plus) to potentially Katy Perry or some other poppy top 40 hit. Â
I have been here before when it was much less crowded and way more mellow and had a much better experience. Â I'll revisit again if I'm in the hood on a weekday night. Â

I was having this discussion in a taxi heading downtown.
"you ever play Kabaddi?"
"yes, SOUTH RICHMOND HILL!"
"Kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi"
"Yes, but I always breathe bricks"
my date- "whats kabaddi?"
"kabaddi is a fun game, its like war, tell her Abdul"
"kabaddi is like a game you gotta cross the line, touch someone, and then jump back without getting in trouble"
me (thinking to girl)- yes, kinda what I hope me and you are doing later ;)"
*SLAP*- "shit, did I say that out loud?"
Stacy- "YES"
Then we go to Tom and Jerrys and walk into a 4 song Biggie set commencing with Ten Crack Commandments yes!
Then we all played Bar Kabaddi- it was a gread night.

I really enjoyed the pet friendly bar concept.
After being a bit toasty had the pleasure of petting a strangers dog.
Probably nothing more soothing then petting a dog with nice hair and having a little buzz on.
(I must have petted that doggie for a good 10 minutes.)
Oh, the laid back environment, the cosy neighborhood vibe was quite refreshing for a bar in NYC, let alone NOHO.
Good place to meet up with friends to get the night started, or even make new ones. They also have a large screen TV to watch some sports.
will def. be going back to do some more dog petting, watch sports and kinda ignore the friends I am with. sorry in advance.
Isn't age a funny thing?
When I was little I used to watch the cartoon Tom and Jerry. Now, I'm getting drunk at Tom and Jerry's. Ah, Nostalgia, with a capital N.
I really like T&J's as far as neighborhood bars go. Friendly bartenders, good drinks, and a large space so that you don't feel crammed in like sardines.
To me, it feels like a transient bar--a good place to include in your bar crawl, or stop in if you were walking by. But not necessarily a place to stay all night (unless, of course, you get sucked in, which can easily happen anywhere).
Whenever I've gone with friends, it doesn't seem like anyone stays seated for long. It's a lot of getting up to get another drink, or to smoke outside, or to just stand up and talk. In other words, very relaxed and laid-back.
It's not necessarily a place I seek out, but if I'm in the area, I like to stop in for a drink (biggest draw here is the beer in my opinion). If you're with a large group of people, hopefully you can secure the large bench in the back. Like having an indoor picnic!
Alex I. says it best: "Tom and Jerry's is a quiet, cool neighborhood dive with enough class and self respect to avoid the trash chic that pervades so much of the village these days." Â T&J's is one of the few bars in the neighborhood that doesn't try to be intentionally lowbrow or snooty-pretentious. Â
The shocking result: It attracts friendly adults. Â Including my friend John. Â He is the blond guy wearing the navy blue tie that has little skulls embroidered on it. Â He will give you terrific advice about finance. Â Say hi to him for me.
This is a bar for the locals. Â Take a book and go alone, go with friends, chat it up with the bartender. Â Also: I'm pretty sure Tom and Jerry's is the nexus of the universe.
