    Bar in the back room
    Lauren M.

    Came here for Lectures on Tap event in their private back room. The bartender was super nice! The drinks were good (I had wine and a G&T). I had nachos to eat and they were your standard pub food. The regular bar area was loud but then they started doing trivia and it quieted down. The private room was nice and blocked out the other bar noise. The crowd here is probably pretty young so not my normal place but not a bad move either if in the neighborhood.

    Downtown Social is my new happy hour go to. The wings were crispy and super flavorful, and the espresso martinis were dangerously good, smooth, frothy, and not too sweet. Also, Jefferson and Courtney behind the bar were awesome. Friendly, fast, and made the whole place feel fun. I'll definitely be back.

    I came here with a couple of friends and we could not believe how dirty this place was. We understood that it was a Friday night and there was college kids all over, however, we didn't feel comfortable with the lack of motivation to clean from the staff. The music was also outrageously loud and it was almost impossible to order a drink. When we finally did order a drink, it tasted horrible. Im all for a college hangout, but at least make the products you serve worth the price we pay.

    This place definitely gives college party vibes, but the music isn't bad. Depends on your vibe.

    This was a fun bar where drinks weren't too expensive and the vibe was more dancey. Enjoyed the music and it wasn't too crowded.

    Been here twice, drink prices are pretty solid and they have decent specials everyday. From 5$ beers to cheap Taco Tuesdays.

Surrounding TVs keep every play, fight and miracle replayed in glorious surround-sass while wooden tables beg for pitchers, pretzels and conspiracy theories about the ref. Whether you're upstairs for the 3rd floor vibe, mid-level for the perfect sightline, or down in the cozy den with the best acoustics, this is New York sports bar energy: loud, a little brazen, impossibly welcoming. One particular bartender, Delaney not only brings an awesome level of energy to the bar, she saunters in like a halftime show -- a grin that's equal parts mischief and welcome. She's all quick elbows and quicker comebacks, the kind of bartender who remembers your name, your drink, and that one ridiculous story you told months ago. Her laugh is loud, her wink is devious, and she has a way of making first-timers feel like regulars by the second round. Behind the wooden bar she's choreography: expert pours, theatrical muddles, and a flourish that makes every order feel curated. Delaney's drinks are personality-packed, with her behind the bar, the place doesn't just serve drinks -- it gets its personality back. It's a place off 8th ave where fitness meets fun, and every corner feels like home--complete with friendly staff who know your name (or at least your size) and are always ready to offer a witty comeback or a perfect recommendation. Cheers!

The restaurant sits on the corner in a striking building, giving it lots of energy. Inside, there are TVs everywhere, making it easy to catch the game from almost any seat. As kickoff got closer, the place filled up with soccer fans, creating a fun match-day atmosphere. They also have outdoor seating with TVs, so you don't have to miss any of the action if you prefer eating outside. The best surprise? They have a dog menu! Before my humans even ordered, the staff brought me a fresh bowl of water. I ordered the Salmon & Rice Bowl, and I cleaned my plate without leaving a single grain of rice behind. The humans shared a pitcher of sangria while cheering on the match. Mom ordered Judy's Corn appetizer, which was full of flavor and disappeared quickly, while Dad went with the classic chicken tenders and fries. Between the friendly staff, the lively sports atmosphere, and how welcome they made me feel, Judy Z's is an easy recommendation whether you're stopping by for brunch, happy hour, or to catch a big game. Dogba's Verdict If your humans love sports bars but hate leaving you at home, Judy Z's solves that problem. I got my own salmon dinner, fresh water before I could even ask, and a front-row seat for the World Cup. That's a winning game plan in my book. 4 paws up!
