This dive bar in the West Village is tucked away underground, with a large but cozy vibe. There are plenty of TVs and when we went on a Monday night, they were playing both the football and baseball games. They have plenty of games and the volume is turned down so you can still have a conversation while watching tv. The drinks are very reasonably priced, especially for the west village, with beers, wines, and cocktails as well. Staff was very friendly and helpful when we left something behind and came to pick it up the next day! read more

I ended up at Down the Hatch with two former classmates after hosting a school party, and we actually had a good time. The vibe was fun, and they even had a beer pong table, which added to the energy of the night. The DJ was great and kept everyone moving, which honestly made the whole experience for me. I truly believe that whether you have a great time at a bar depends entirely on the DJ that night, so my experience might not be everyone else's. The crowd was lively, and the drinks were fine, but nothing stood out as amazing. Overall, I'd give it three stars. I had fun and would go back again if I happened to be in the area, but it's not somewhere I'd plan a whole night around. read more

You couldn't pay me to hate this place. Down the Hatch might be one of the last true dive bars where you can get a deal and come out on top. I used to frequent this place for happy hour when I worked in the area but hadn't been back in ages. I was recently here on a Saturday with a friend in town. We had over an hour to kill before our dinner reservation and wanted somewhere to pass the time that wouldn't break the bank. Down the Hatch was serving $5 cans on a Saturday, which even included an alcoholic seltzer, so we were in. $10ish bucks each later, we were feeling good and not poor, so it was a win. The place wasn't overly crowded despite this deal. Ambiance is a dive bar, but relatively clean and unrowdy. I hope this place never closes and continues to be a spot where you can hang out with friends without going broke on drinks. read more

Came back here for some wings. Cool bar, although it seems louder now, good service, but sadly the wings were a huge disappointment. At the start of the pandemic, there were still atomic wings. I'm sad to say that they no longer carry these and you can definitely taste the difference. I ordered the hot wings and at first glance they didn't look like they were coated with any sauce. Good hot wings have a decent ratio of saucy to crunchy. These wings were DRY. No sauce in the container to speak of and barely any on the chicken. Flavorless! I literally had to fix these with a bottle of Frank's red hot buffalo sauce. Considering that the price on a lot of things have gone up in this bar including the wings, I don't want to pay for something I'll have to fix when I get home. I'm glad I got to go there before congestion pricing kicked in because these wings are not worth the toll. I will stay my behind in Brooklyn. read more

I came here recently with a friend to watch the 49ers game. A classic sports bar. We shared an order of the tater tots and they were very good. read more

I have been going to Down the Hatch and the other bars from the NYCBestBar group (Off the Wagon, 3 Sheets Saloon, Jake's Dilemma) for over 20 years but unfortunately they have changed for the worse. Down the Hatch, in particular isn't the same as it used to be. We used to go to these bars for the fun atmosphere and cheap drinks but prices have gone up considerably. In the past I would pay around $7 for a domestic pitcher during happy hour and around $13 during regular hours but right now it's $12 during happy hour and $22, yes $22 during regular hours for a Coors light pitcher. If you opt for Blue Moon or other imported beer it's more expensive. If you opt for a domestic pint during regular hours you'll pay almost the same you would pay at a bar in midtown. They no longer serve the famous Atomic Wings, instead they make it in house. It's tasty but not as tasty as the old Atomic Wings. On the plus side the music is still good, bartenders friendly and the vibe is nice, but I miss the old Down the Hatch! read more

I always love coming here! Wings are amazing. Great vibe. Even if you aren't college age still a great place to catch a game. Must go to everytime I visit! Was originally recommended 10 years ago by an NYPD officer when I asked where to go to watch the NBA playoffs. read more

Solid bar with decent service. Food was actually surprisingly good, had buffalo wings and a chicken sandwich with onion rings, real drunk boy behavior. Scarfed it down and kind of wanted more. They have table games in the back, spot is kind of small though but it got the job done. I'll absolutely be back. read more

This is a quintessential dive bar. It's hard to notice down some steps. The neighborhood is full of pretentious restaurants. This was a great find. We came on a Sunday afternoon. It was busy enough. Bottles and cans were only $5 which is a steal in NYC. We decided to go ahead and order a bit of food. We split a double cheeseburger with waffle fries. It was an amazing burger! Just what you would expect from a dive bar...flavorful, a little greasy, and a toasted bun. The waffle fries were also really good. You have to order everything at the bar which is a pain in the a$$. There was only one person working the bar when we were there and they were having a hard time keeping up. It's clearly a locals bar which is what we love! Also, if you're in the mood, they have beer pong set up and ready to go! read more

Great little happy hour spot in the Greenwich area. Entire bar is half off and after 8pm, they offer $1 wings.

Typical basement bar. Lots of tvs if you're watching a game but mostly a dancyish bar to start the night.

Hole in the wall bar in west village. Very dive bar/sports bar. Good for group hangs. Good selection of beer and cocktails.

SO unexpected, walking back to get more pizza from L'Industry and decided to stop on down here 1st, and SO much FUN. Great vibes neighborhood. Perfect ending to a fun Sunday evening stroll. Lilly serving us cocktails and a super fun connection was the stand out. Loved the music and her recommendation to have lunch at Planta Queen. Great finds. CHEERS! read more

I was SCAMMED at this place; a $5 beer special was advertised and I confirmed with the bartender that draft beers were included. He even handed me a receipt showing $20 after four beers! However, checking my credit card statement later showed that I had been charged $45. They seemed to intentionally deceive me on this front and even when I took it up with them afterwards they refused to acknowledge their mistake and give me a refund. AVOID THIS PLACE. read more

Amazingly The Wings and Atmosphere is Just as I Remember it Going Back to Even 20 Years Ago When I First Started Visiting This Location.

W 4th Street bar in NY Univ hood. Take a few steps down from street level to Down The Hatch and you got Drinks, TVs and Best drinks in West Village. Fully stocked bar and positive, high energy Keyla gets it all going for guests. The music is bumping funky and plenty of TVs for all sports activities. read more

Lived in the neighborhood 10 years. Super fun bar. Katie and Kirk who work on Saturdays are the best! Beers for $5. Couldn't ask for a more fun spot to hang. read more

This place is the perfect chill bar. Such a great vibe. The bartenders are cool and nice to talk to. The service is great. The food comes out fast and it's surprising delicious for a bar. The burger here has beat some burgers in restaurants and diners that I've tried. It's a very juicy double cheeseburger. They have a full bar but only American beers, no imports. They have beer pong set up in the rear and darts. Numerous tvs, each showing different sports. Festive lights flickering throughout with the feel of a dive bar. Happy Hour is Everyday until 7pm which is awesome and very rear. I highly recommend this spot. Just pop in and try it and I'm sure you will be a returning customer read more

This place is a dump and people literally only come here for cheap Jell-O shots. Today couldn't come in because I was wearing ugg slides? Meanwhile the crowd was ratchet inside. Never coming back. Can't wait til a new bar opens in this space when this inevitably closes. read more

Basic drinks and strong pours at great prices (for NYC). Loved our adventure to find this highly recommended bar. Bartender was great at giving us recommendations for NYC nightlife. Doorman was also friendly. Tiny bathrooms, but that's part of the charm! read more

Awesome spot friendly staff great happy hour deals, I would highly recommend Down the Hatch!

I had my birthday here this year and had a pretty good time. They have a really nice and easy open bar package for groups that's $60 per person for a 3 hour open bar. I knew ahead of time that I wouldn't have a private room but was a little disappointed when I got there and they didn't even have any sort of assigned area for my group. I was also a little unimpressed with how uncoordinated the check in process was. I was told my guests would come to the bouncer, pay $60, and receive a wristband, and instead the guy with the wristbands was hanging out inside the bar so people were on a wild goose chase to find him all night. Ironically, it was very easy to coordinate with them beforehand and everyone I spoke to on the phone was great, it was just chaos the night of. I will say that they were very generous with the open bar. It was a little unclear beforehand whether actual cocktails were included or just mixed drinks, but they didn't limit us to mixed drinks. The bartenders were fast and I don't think anyone waited very long at all. They served a cake to me at one point and held onto it until the next day which was amazing! I was shocked when we were able to pick it up intact. All in all, there were a few kinks, but it was a nice night and I would consider having a party there again in the future. read more

The service I experienced here has been amazing. A couple weeks ago I went here and ended up loosing a necklace that meant so much too me. It was something that was really bothering me so I reached out to management there to see if they could check the cameras for me to see what happened to it, and they have just been so kind and helpful. Lucas, especially was empathetic of my situation and has done everything in his power to connect me to the right people. Taylor and Kurk, were two other people who I have spoken with and could not be more appreciative of their efforts to help me try a future out what happened to my necklace. They are working with me weeks after to help me. I highly recommend swinging by Down the Hatch. They deserve the business. read more

Cheap drinks and a good time! I've been here a few times with friends and I leave pretty satisfied. The drinks are cheap and with the right group, you'll have a blast. Don't go looking for an amazing experience as this is truly a dive bar. The inside is pretty small but when the weather is nice, sitting outside is much better. read more

PRICE · $ x 1.5 POSITIVE · West Villlage · Hot ladies · Smart ugly ladies · Beer pong table · TVs for catching up on games NEGATIVE · Can be ethinically homogenous like how one would feel about gentrification (... on the border with whether this is a negative or positive). IMPRESSION · It's a good spot to add to a list of bars to hop to and from. read more

I truly don't write reviews out of spite, but this one left a bad taste in my mouth. There was nobody at the door to greet me so I sat myself down. The bartender calls someone who I thought was going to be the server over to me, to ask me for my ID. So I did, and the server/bouncer/manager walked away. At the 20 minute mark there still was no server, this was at 6:20pm. This upset me and I walked out and to a different restaurant. The vibe of this place is also very off, like they're prison wardens. Might I add that the one person that I did encounter seemed as if he didn't want me there. However, online it seemed like a nice place to dine out. Very misleading, and I don't think anyone should patronize a business that treats their paying customers like crap. read more

No joke! A colleague of mine took me to Down the Hatch for my first drink in 2005 and I fell in love with kettle one & cranberry, atomic wings and waffle fries. One of the coolest and well known dive kinda bar in the village for happy hour specials like seriously 1/2 off prices on all alcohol beverages and they make their drinks stiff!!! Perfect place to go for drinks with a group of coworkers, friends or have a casual date. They have great deals on drinks, the best atomic wings in NYC, juicy waffle fries and good variety of music. Don't forget to take a shot at their ping pong tables and flirt with the boys! Most importantly, I'd recommend you bring a business card and drop it into the fish bowl. Try your luck to win one hour of free happy hour! Have fun!!! read more

Down the Hatch - The group I was with was known as a hot mess - American Near Me - New York, New York

Went here for brunch. Got the bottomless mimosas and some wings. The place definitely changed since covid. Pre-pandemic the food and drinks were bottomless for an extended time. Now only the drinks are bottomless and it's only for 90 mins. After our 90 mins were up, we had additional drinks at the bar. I have no complaints about this place. The waiters and bartenders were friendly. The wings were good. Although they changed their bottomless brunch, it was nice to see they survived the pandemic. read more

I went in this spot around 6 to kill time before I was headed to somewhere else. This spot is nice inside, TVs all over, they play music through there wall speakers and it has some bar finger food available. If your a person that likes to go and sit, drink and watch sports then you'll be fine. The food I would skip as it wasn't good. I had the nachos and they were gross. read more

This place right here reminds me of my good ole college nights. I would come here for their cheap beer and beer pong. They also have one of the best wings I've had (definitely in my top 5 list). Bartenders are always nice, n they always have good music playing. They have 2 beer pong tables in the back for those that play. They always have great happy hour deals too. Good place to catch your best sport on tv. read more

I'm such a fan. I had an absolute blast here, there is tons of space as it's an underground type place. Only knock is the prices, but that's New York for ya. Didn't eat, just got drinks but the vibes were awesome! read more
