Came here on a Saturday night. It was busy with nyu kids. Prices were reasonable. I got a grilled cheese and fries. It was perfect. No complaints. I ordered the fried Mac and I didn't know they would be served on top of sauce. I couldn't eat the sauce because it had tomatoes in it so I couldn't eat all of my fried Mac. What I could eat (didn't touch the sauce) was really good. The potato soup was just ok. The person I was with did not like the Reuben sandwich. The meat wasn't good quality and he kept spitting pieces out. They had a ton of tvs to watch the game. read more

Came in on a quiet Monday night to play pool with a friend. After we sank the black ball, there were still two balls on the table that we wanted to practice with. Instead of staff explaining any rules, several regulars at the bar repeatedly harassed us to leave the table. It escalated to them physically reaching over and pocketing the remaining balls themselves, followed by yelling and pushing us away so they could put their own coins in. What made this worse is that the other pool table was already reserved for their league, and it was clear these were regulars who felt entitled to the space. Staff did nothing to intervene or de-escalate the situation. If this is how regulars treat newcomers, and staff allows it, then this is not a welcoming or safe environment. What should have been a relaxed night turned unnecessarily hostile. read more

I live in Brooklyn but still come here regularly and have been since I was a student at NYU. This place is a true gem! It is the perfect place to spend an afternoon watching a Premiere League match while sipping on a Guinness. There is a great jukebox that typically plays classic rock and sometimes a little hip hop. To top it all off, there are two pool tables that attract some really solid players. Yesterday, I was there with a friend and I had lunch, unbelievably, for the first time. We had cheeseburgers that were REALLY good. They have a lunch sized option with a beer that was incredibly priced. We swapped out onion rings and it was simply perfect. For this area, there is really nothing like it, especially for the price. An Irish sports pub with pool and great drink and food prices smack dab in the middle of Greenwich Village? What more could you ask for? Finally, the owner, who is Irish is very personable and very hospitable and willing to share stories about Ireland or his thoughts on soccer and other topics. His daughter is also a bartender there so it really feels like a super fun family affair. This place is a true jewel of the Village and I highly recommend it. read more

I'm a big-back and big-boned so I go for the combo and beer. I absolutely love spicing things up and adding variety to life. This combo and pitcher of beer is a man's (woman's and all things under the Sun) treasure. The servers and bar staff are awesome. Love how dark and dim it is. read more

A great spot that my friends and I love to hang out at. The drink prices are very reasonable, they always have all the games on, and the food is surprisingly good. I also really liked the low light basement vibe of the place, just an all around great bar. read more

The bartender was rude. I asked for water that they wouldn't give me water and said they don't serve water. Absolutely ridiculous!

Been coming here for over 12 years , it's on Waverly place. You have to walk down a flight a stairs to get in ..plenty of TVs a back room , 2 pools tables and a dart board near by . I've come here for the happy hour wings which are still the same flavor as before it's 10 wings for $12 . It's used to be under $9 before 8pm . Pretty side menu here ... a decent Amount of food for your wallet here too. They have a juke box by the front door . From me coming here it's basically a good bar for groups during the day or just to grab a beer and finger food too. The bartenders here are very friendly and helpful too. The owners here are fine . They mostly managed the place as the night goes on. . read more

Would it kill you to clean your tap lines? Still serving winter lager 2 months after everyone else switched. Tastes sour. The whole place feels dirty. read more

The drinks and food were great. The staff were amazing. I would definitely come here again,

Classic dive bar and one of the better ones in the area due to 1- it being quieter 2- there being lots of space 3- option to play pool 4- lots of beer and bar food options 5- events like trivia taking place here and 6- fast, efficient, and attentive service, with the ability to handle a large group with ease. The vibe is laid-back but has a homey, festive vibe that could be cozy enough to make it "the" place for your friends and you. Definitely saw some older people who hang out here regularly. Plus, it's not the typical place for undergrad students to be at. Got the chicken nachos, mozzarella sticks, chicken fingers, guacamole, and chips and salsa. The nachos were the biggest hit! They were so easy to share. The guac was great, but such a small portion. The mozzarella sticks were, of course, loved by all. My favorite was the chicken fingers because I'm all about that deep-fried protein. Successful class gathering at Josie Woods! Recommend if you're looking for a bar to casually hang in with big groups. read more

This place was great, it was a last minute find that we went to so we could meetup with my cousin for some drinks. I love the decor in this place, because it gives you that typical New Yorkesque old school bar vibe. Fantastic music, great bartenders and drinks, and then they had pool tables as well. read more

It's kind of an NYU bar that's at least hidden down a flight of stairs. Never heard of this place and never would notice it unless a friend of ours pointed it out to us. Maybe it's new. But yeah. The drinks are somewhat affordable, they have pool tables. I ended up going later hours which was kind of funny because as I came in we asked why it was so crowded and the bouncer said 'college basketball'. I asked 'Who's winning?' Which is probably a stupid question considering that there were probably like six games going on at the time but he alerted me to the fact that most teams people were rooting for being in the final four just got eliminated, including Gonzaga and my face fell as did my bracket. Anyway, happy hour specials: Monday-Friday 4-8pm: Bud light Pints - $5, Josie Woods Ale - $6, Well Drinks - $6, and Buffalo Wings - $12. Not sure how happy those prices are especially $12 chicken wings but okay. Normal hour prices are $6-7 anyway so you're only saving a buck. You can also get a can of Genesee at any hour for only $4. That's probably the smart way to go if you're here just for beer. Food menu sounds like generic bar food at relatively average prices. If I were in the area and couldn't think of anything else, sure. read more

Best staff in town! The bartenders in particular take great care of their customers. Been coming here regularly for going on 4 years now, and it will always be my go-to. Particularly great for: 1 - beer & food during the game (they show just about every sport, but notable for NFL and Yankees games), 2 - cheap & strong pre-drinks to start a night out, or 3 - a laid-back night with good friends. There's plenty of space here for groups, including a sit-down area, a bar, 2 pool tables, free darts, and a jukebox. Their specials are also worth a look for good deals. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

Came here over a month ago for first and last time. It's a local hangout for many people in the area, especially people from the same building my company work in. Place is downstairs in the basement with limited cell reception with a cool vibe. There are some billard tables if you wish to play. They check vaccination cards right at the entrance after you get down from the stairs and then it seem like everyone can walk freely without masks. Drinks are decent. They have all the basics like any bar but somehow, they don't know how to make one drink for one of the girls- Moscow Mule. I think it took 3 tries to get it somewhat right (she paid for all 3). It gets busy after 7pm on weekdays. I was here on a Friday afternoon 4pm-8:30pm with my colleagues. We had a corner to ourself and we all had separate tabs but we all would take turn paying for some rounds. One ordered some food for us to share on his tab and we were all having a good time until it was time to settle the bill. As all tispy or drunk people usually are, we all paid our tab and walked out having a great time. It's what happened afterward that lead me to wanting to leave 1 star but gave it 2 stars after they resolved the issue after a week. We all vow never to come back; but it's a bar so they don't lose much business especially since others (that wasn't there that night) from the company/building wouldn't know and still go back there. We didn't force anyone else our group that night to not return, just our group. The next day, one of the guy checked his transactions online and try to match it with his receipt to find that he had no transactions meaning the bar charged someone else and he signed it. By Monday, he contacted all in our group to find out who had multiple charge and zelle that person the money. My female friend was charged 5 times for items our group didn't order- meaning the bar waitress charged other tables to her card! We immediately went to the bar after work Monday to get it resolved. The owners reluctantly helped and we took pictures of the receipts of signatures & orders to try to contact our colleagues again to see which signature is whos. But those orders didn't even belong to our table. A table order a veggie burger and other stuff- no one in our group is a vegetarian. The only food we ordered to shared that night was chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks and waffle fries- which our friend zelle her. There was a total of at least 5 other tables that was charged to her card. The owners tried to help but ultimately said perhaps our colleagues just charged to her tab without asking and said to call the bank to get her money back because he wasn't issuing a refund. We came back to the over the next few days because the owner said he had to ask the waitress her side of the story and she isn't in until Wednesday. She had locked her card on Monday and contacted the bank by Wednesday to report fraudulent charges. By Friday afternoon, she got a voice-mail from the owner that he will refund the money and it was pending. It took 1 week to resolve it. Even looking through his security camera and looking at the receipts, he was reluctant about refunding. My friend eventually got her refund. I was there with her the entire week for moral support and with advice to file charges with the police because it's fraudulent- who knows if the waitress copied her cc # or those people that signed those receipts copied down her #. I even suggested filing a charged to the BBB- she did neither. The whole thing left a bad taste to all of us so we all refuse to go back there. She now don't ever want to leave her card with strangers and open any tab- she said she'll just pay every drink as she orders even though most of us said she van order on our tab & zelle later. This just made her have trust issue because it was ridiculous that waitress randomly charged tables and let those tables sign receipts. It wasn't even brought to my friend to sign- because at least we could have correct the issue right there and then. read more

We walked in at 11:45. The bartender was incredibly unwelcoming and told us he was closing up in 30 minutes. I asked if it was alright if we were there, he said whatever and again told us he was closing up. They close at 1AM. We came here because Josie Woods is apparently the only backgammon bar in nyc according to the internet. According to the bartender, no games. Pretty disappointing experience. read more

Another place I've found on here on yelp by coincidence, visited here in 2001. A group of us spent all day here, have photos in the attic to prove it. Can't post them because they're real actual photos from back then. Helped myself to 2 glasses from the bar, still got them to this day, in fact I'm going to take a photo and add them to this review. By the way the bar used to be great for what it's worth. read more

The bar had a very cool vibe with a great happy hour special. I highly recommend the house beer which I think is as good as any IPA you buy at a fraction of the cost. We never tried the food but I heard that it's pretty good and it's something I'll definetley try the next time I come here with friends. You can also play pool for a dollar per round! read more

I can totally see why this would be a neighborhood favorite near Washington square park . The bartenders and service are nice , the food is simple yet delicious. They have a nook for everyone at this bar , that includes pool tables . I had the wings , the beef sliders, and very cold beers . Would definitely recommend to anyone ! read more

Josie's is where I've spent the happiest days of my youth. Opt for the waffle fries but don't get a Grateful Dead, unless you dare

I've been coming here for more than a decade because it's always a chill vibe even when they're packed. Kind staff, good selection of drinks, and the food really hits the spot. (When they have the buffalo chicken wrap special... get it!!) read more

This place is the worst. Was there for 2 minutes before 3 employees started yelling (and I mean at the top of their voice) at us to get the f out if we weren't buying drinks. Bouncer got up in my face, attempting to physically intimidate me while yelling at me to respect him. Unbelievable that this is the norm. This was not a single employee- THREE did this. Insanely rude and unbelievable that this is their norm. Very rattling, and especially frustrating since I would have purchased a drink. I would classify their behavior as harassment. read more

rats everywhere, horrible staff. do not recommend. Honestly worse place ever, so unwelcoming. Did nothing about rats by our feet. I have never experienced a worse pub in nyc. When I said they had rats they got so angry like they'd been caught and I was just trying to let them know. They said yeah those rats are called "Mickey and Minnie" and then I saw more and they just do not care how unsanitary it is. Also the drinks are so gross and the food was even worse. Never going back. Don't wanna see the rats. the owner got mad when I complained on the phone about the rats. It's ridiculous. Rats are taking over nyc. Let's stay safe guys. They chased us out the bar when we said "you guys have rats". like they don't want help with the rats. i have videos of 'Mickey and Minnie' huge big rats. never go to Josie woods. read more

This is a comfortable and easy-going bar with no false pretenses. In fact, this place is great. It's fun to get away in the middle of summer heat or dead of winter and just go down to the basement for a cider and waffle fries and to catch a game or two. Everyone is really friendly from the staff to Martin who runs the place and there's always a pint and a smile waiting. read more

Walked in to The Doors & Offspring playing. Super friendly servers and bartenders, a couple with Irish accents, all with smiles. Spacious.

I used to live in NYC and so I used to come here to watch bears games because they had them on and like 20 people from chicago will always be there watching the game cheering or suffering depending on how the game turned out. The food is awesome. It is always very clean. I say that because not all sports bars are clean. The people are friendly. Good place to begin a Saturday Night if you are 21-29 years of age. A nice young crowd given it's proximity to NYU . This is one of my favorite bars in the whole world-just for the cool easy going attitude of the patrons and staff. read more

An underground bar that you wander down into, forget it if you can't make it down stairs. The stairs even overarch on the walkway - bow down in order to walk from each side of the bar to the other means you have to be careful... pool tables on one side, and barely enough space to have one, much less the two they have. Seating on the other side... service can be slow, especially when the place is packed. Relatively cheap college bar, they do deals for groups. read more
