    Yes yes yes! This place was very fun and it's a good spot to take a friend out and catch up. We ordered a large pie half cheese and pepperoni and OMG! That pizza was FANTASTIC! It was so cheesy and the sauce was amazing! I also had a beer. Greg took care of us and gave us great friendly service. They also have free funny postcards as souvenirs. TIP: Make sure you come in during certain hours no later than 10pm if you want Pizza. I believe they have a time when the kitchen closes.

    It's a standard sports bar where the locals hang. Came on a Sunday afternoon and just got beers. There's no table service. You order at the bar. Water is self-served. They have pizza and garlic knots which smelled good. Decor is American vintage.

    Finally made my way over to American Cheez after their 2021 reopening. Great outdoor setup on a sunny Saturday, beers were flowing and they were slinging pies. Beers reasonably priced ($5-$8 for cans and draft) with a solid selection for a dive. Pizzas for $9 are probably the best snack you can get for a bar with no kitchen. The crust looks much different from pictures from pre-winter closing. To be blunt, two steps above bowling alley pies, one step below parlor pies.

    An unpretentious bar for casual sipping/viewing/chatting. Everything checks out for this bar, and a huge draw is the free personal pizza with any drink $5 or more (I think) -- the ultimate bar snack. Without the pizza, the beer is reasonably priced, at around $7 for something on tap, comparable with other bars in NYC. The pizza is pretty comparable to any $1 slice shop, with the standard seasoning available -- parmesan, oregano, chili pepper flakes. I really appreciate the bartender going the extra mile by serving pizza to our table on top of catering to everyone's drink orders. As for the atmosphere, there are plenty of little games to play here, like Connect 4 and Jenga, across the room. Price: 4/5 Quality: 4/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5

    It's the jalapeño pizza  pie

    Been here sooo many times for Rangers games and Sunday : Funday football this pie has gotten better over the years , it was well done and cooked perfectly.in the past the crust seems to be lagging it's flavor . So the game has up to bite as I say . Also you have to order a drink for a FREE PIE , toppings $1 extra .

    I love this place! A girlfriend & I were across the street having a fancy cocktail @ Camper Down Elm & we walked across the street for beer (which comes w/ an individual pizza). What?! Yes! That's their gimmick & ya wanna know what? It's a good one. This place has a Metallica pinball machine and a John Travolta from the 70's wall in the bathroom. What?! I'll be back.

    Free Fresh out-of-the-oven cheese pizza with every drink!

    Cute dive bar with decent drink specials, pizza, and karaoke. However, service can be slow and confusing with the pizzas.

    Don't act like you don't like the idea of playing Connect 4 and chair dancing to the tunes on the stereo.

    The part of this place that gets five stars is the music! It was a highly curated and very fun…read moreplaylist of all female artists! My husband and I absolutely loved it. While the design of the space is visually interesting, we couldn't get physically comfortable. Both the space and the chairs just didn't allow you to settle in and chill. Everything else about the place was neither above nor below par for what a place with the word "dive" in it should be.

    I had a blast at high dive. It's a feel good neighborhood bar and my friend works there. Her name…read moreis Grace so stop by and say Hi! I was served by Alissa and she was an absolute delight! So friendly and warm and attentive. I got an espolon shot for like $7 bucks and their cocktail prices are pretty affordable considering how insane drink prices are nowadays. Cause baby! With tax and tip these drinks be coming out to like $23/$24 dollas now. Say it with me... Outside is Expensive. Luckily, this place has a great price point and they have free popcorn but they also allow outside food. A lovely couple I met that day shared their wings and dipping sauce with me. Super sweet. They have a backyard area, plenty of space on the inside and 2 bathrooms. I'd definitely go back! Everyone was also just super chill and nice. I was having random conversations with people and it felt effortless and nice in a world where not all people are nice.
