This place is amazing. Great scene to be at and escape reality. The ambiance was great. What makes this place even better is the bartender Crystal (hopefully I am spelling her name correctly). Please visit this location and support. Crystal was very engaged. Made sure I was doing great plus the conversation was nothing but clutch. Down to Earth and truly cares about her community. I CANNOT WAIT TO COME BACK !!!!!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING read more

Welcoming, intimate pub. Lovely decor. The ceiling in the woman's bathroom is a bit bizarre - take a look. Phenomenal patrons = actors, dancers, directors - eclectic mix of folks representing the arts. Stellar barkeeper. Thank you Joe. read more

This is an uptown hidden gem with heart! I'm almost hesitant to share. Don't judge a place by its humble outside. Lovely lounge ambiance, classic bar, attentive service, and gifted mixologists. John is awesome and the lounge has old-world library charm, with cozy leather couches & a big screen tv (for big game nights). This is a pub so come for the drinks, popcorn and small apps like chicken wings. You will not be disappointed. Drivers: It's Inwood, so parking is a bear- take a lyft/Uber or walk if you find parking somewhere in the neighborhood. *I planned a cozy event here with ffiends on June 7th and Kirby was a star in making this reunion event a success. read more

This place is a GEM !!! This place is a whole vibe. I entered and immediately thought, "Yeah, I'm coming back." The drinks were 10/10, the atmosphere was grown & sexy. The vibes eere good all night. Part of me wants to gatekeep but it's too good not to share. read more

Well what to say that hasn't been said before by Fadda, Aj, Dianna, Mary and others have said. The place is everything you could ask for and more. It's chill service, cool bartender, gorgeous space. The 4 wings I had were delish. Bring cash and tip well. Please don't abuse this hidden gem. read more

Great cocktail menu, welcoming bartender, lovely old-fashioned atmosphere. A small "bar snacks" menu is available.

Exquisite cocktails and yummy food. Mixologist is on point. Delicious food. Very cozy and classy. I love the chesterfields and the wood decor. Great for an intimate date and great for catching up with friends. I like that there is a TV in case you want to watch sports or if you want to play chess - that's available too. There is outdoor seating which is a precious commodity nowadays... Great place. Worth a visit. Love the optional outdoor seating. It's a bit enclosed so that the wind doesn't get at you. read more

Our neighborhood bar! I understand it went under a redecoration lately not that you could tell. It's a dimly lit, cozy spot that gives you craft cocktail and speak easy vibes. They've got a lounge area and you can reserve it if needed for an event. When there is an event it's pretty much standing room only. But aside from that it's a perfect spot for an intimate shindig. There is a happy hour every weekday from 6pm-8pm as well as drink specials on certain nights. Boy do we make those two hours count. Their munchie menu is a treat by the time that third...fourth cocktail hits. The popcorn is like crack! Between that and the mozzarella sticks I'm surprised there is still room in my mouth for the booze. I highly reccommend their Moscow Mules during happy hour; they make their own ginger juice for it! But beware; when that runs out you're back to beer and no mule will ever taste the same after! read more

This is a super dark romantic place, & wld be great for a date. However, I was alone, not on a date, & just wanted a beer. They do not have beer on tap. They do have frosted glasses, though, & the Stella was super fresh. Also - good AC. read more

I came here with my friends to chill. Great drinks, popcorn, and mozzarella sticks. Great service. The bartenders were friendly. Inside is pretty loud because of the music playing. I like the interior, their lounge is nice and comfortable. There's also a TV screen for customers to watch. I do recommend this cozy spot. Great date. read more

Serene vibes! Calm and cool atmosphere with good drinks and "jukebox". The lounge area is very comfortable. Bathroom small but clean. Nice spot! read more

Liffy II Bar - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Cozy bar with great seating and good drinks. The bartenders are friendly and professional.

Totally redecorated. Cozy. Dark. Some private nooks were great for conversation. Drinks were great albeit pricey. Too many TV screens confuse the decor. Bar munchies- chicken fingers tasty and generous. Fries- VERY spicy- why? Digital jukebox-a travesty as it skips back and forth between songs or cuts them off prematurely. Just get a speaker and a playlist at LEAST. I would go back as it a unique ambiance for the area. Bartenders were awesome people. read more

The remodeled Liffy II is a comfortable parlor type venue well suited to conversation. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday during the day, when Brian is bartending, I have found it to be a good place to converse. Big comfy easy chairs and couches. There is a big screen in the parlor area, as well as several screens in the bar area. And the pool tables are a thing of the past. And now there is an enclosed porch area in front. Maybe there is a different vibe in the evening. I go during the day. They are a cocktail bar, though they do have some snack items. And my understanding is that as long as you're drinking, you can have outside food. read more

They recently underwent a renovation that made the bar so much more appealing. They modified the lighting, painted the walls with warm colors, and added new sofas with pillows to make you feel at home. The votive candles create a more relaxing atmosphere that help you kick back and relax. I noticed their newly installed outdoor seating area with a menu advertising a Mudslide cocktail and a Mojito. The fusion of Irish and Latin drinks made was very appealing to me. I walked in and sat at the bar and the bartender settled me in quickly. After having a few drinks I made my way to the section that had the sofa. I got to the know the patrons who were all locals in their mid 30s. We enjoyed a good conversation and played some billiards. I had a great night at a cheap price. I felt right and home in here. read more

I was in the Liffy a couple of weeks ago. The work that Kirby (owner) did to the interior is really lovely. It has a warm inviting atmosphere. I would recommend a Saturday afternoon stop by. Barbara is a great bartender & a real nice lady. read more

Cozy place for drinks on sofas and near fireplace. Catch up with friends and relax. Drinks are amazing!!!

Love this bar! Classiest spot in the neighborhood. Could use better music but hey service was super friendly (Brian is the best) and the prices can't be beat. Love the lush decor and cozy interior. Great place to come by yourself and have a drink and not be bothered. Will be back ! read more

At the bar at The Liffy. I love this place. Been coming here for years. Steve is my favorite bartenders. They're awesome, and this place is so cozy and laid back. read more

Liffy II Bar - Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Had a great time here. Chris made us some great classic cocktails and was very friendly. Definitely will be coming back.

An under appreciated Irish Pub (the last one in Inwood) spotless. decent prices. Couches. Perfect pool table. Excellent beer list (Coors Light/Killian on tap). A "neighborhood" bar with no attitude. About anyone. These barely exist anywhere anymore. Very LGBTQ friendly read more

Love this bar. The bartender is a true New Yorker!! She doesn't give a F who you are!! Great place to just go hangout, have drinks and listen to music. I always take my dates there after a night out. Lol. If they can deal with the dive bar, they can deal with me. read more

First of all, despite the sign. THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! THERE'S NO FOOD HERE! Oh, did I mention that THERE'S NO FOOD HERE? You can bring your own... pizza place down the block, sandwiches, but that SHEPHERDS PIE? Fuggeddaboudit! That said, Mindy is a super bartendress. Old school NY. I called and spoke to someone else to make a reservation... the message never was passed on. (Daytime phone answerers appear to be flakes.) Call at night, and talk to Mindy. This is a local pub, a relic of the old Irish history of the nabe. It's not a dive, and as far from being "scary" as a Disney movie. We stuck with pitchers of... I forget. $12 a pitcher... and NOT Bud Lite. Friendly patrons... what else could you want? --Drink Club NYC is a roving group of drinkers, a different bar every week read more

Love this place. It's a dive with the friendliest New Yorkers that frequent the joint. My neighborhood bar when I'm here visiting from Denver. read more

How does an Irish bar only have two tap beers? Coors Light and Killian's. Not even Guinness?? (And Killian's is not an Irish beer, it's made by Coors.) When I walked in there were people trying to convince the bartender how great Trump was as president. That was definitely my cue to leave. read more

I've been here 3 times and had good experiences the first two times, but yesterday an elderly gentleman at the bar charged me for tap water after paying for four pitchers of beer ($48 total). He said "water is expensive" and that "bottled water sells for $3, so why not?" I left with a really bad feeling and don't think I'll be back. read more

The bartender didn't know what was in a french martini. She seemed uneducated and really not able to figure out what was going on. It took a lot for her to figure out how to pour a glass of wine. It was quiet and a sweet area, but what isn't up at Inwood? I was let down since it was my first time out in the neighborhood. Probably will not be going back since I can make a better drink at home for a quarter of the price. read more

I strolled into this place (for the first time) at night with a family member for a night cap. The bartender Mindy had such a terrible, rude and very obnoxious attitude I was completely shocked she was allowed to behave that way and get away with it. Mindy was very rude and nasty with all the patrons for the entire hour I was there. Then, I and a group of about six people were still in the bar while she was closing, I was putting on my coat to leave, Mindy decided to turn the lights completely off and a patron had to push the door open to get let some light in. At that moment I was able to see and grabbed my purse. Outside I yelled at her a told her I warn everyone in the neighborhood to stay away from this spot! P.S. Mindy works M-Fri evenings. read more

A rare breed in Inwood today - cheap drinks, neighborhood atmosphere, few pretensions. An interesting place to have a beer.

Great place to get more material. People's mindset is jaw-dropping. Especially the guy who told me he was in law enforcement. It was 2:30pm at a bar. read more

It has a lot of atmosphere. If a mob hit were going to happen in Inwood, they'd probably film it at the Liffy. If you're looking for a real Irish bar that feels a little scary, this one is for you. Drinks are cheap, service is surly. Keep your head down and don't cause a fuss. read more

There's nothing better than a comfortable lounge on a thirsty night. Coming here a few times now, the experience has been very good. First time around was for karaoke one rainy Friday night. We had thought of going just to kill some time before going to a dance club, as its close to my GF's place and we ended up staying. It was a combination of the rain and the comfy plush old couches that line the walls to the left of the entrance. It was fairly dead when we walked in so the mic was ours for and the DJ was very accommodating. Drinks were on the average price and prepared fairly well. On another occasion the visit was just to have a calm chat with a friend, and well calm it was. Very responsive bartender, friendly and always on top of what we were drinking. With a nod the next round was ordered. Just like that. And to add to the versatility of the place... we walked in there after visiting another bar that same night, and they had free hot dogs, self service, and bingo! Come on! you gotta give them props for having such amenities as they schedule different activities each day of the week and from just plain music to karaoke. The bar is usually peppered with local regulars and that is good sight as it makes a good place to know some of the people around your neighborhood. All in all its a very warm place to go drink, cozy, homey. Even on a dead night, the place is fine to just go relax and drink. Cheers! read more

This is a real neighborhood bar. Bartenders are all really great and friendly. I like the set up here....lots of space, good jukebox, good prices. I have always had a good time when hanging out here and definitely recommend it for anyone just looking to kick back and enjoy a drink or two (or 12). read more

Called in here for a beer after walking Inwood Hill Park. The usual price, locals mouthing off, dive/Irish bar feel. Big area with couches which might be fun. If I was in the area looking for a beer I'd call in here. read more
