    In town for Friday night, Yankees vs Dodgers game. Saturday found this bar near our hotel. It's a good ole fashion divey bar. Clean. Someplace I would frequent. $4 draft beer Local 42 blonde. Your typical bar food at great prices. We stopped in for one beer early in the afternoon & returned later for food and the bartender greeted us with a "welcome back" I will return

    We enjoy local bars ! And this bar was perfect for us to wind down with a couple of drinks. Great deals and not over crowded. Quick service. We are low key couple and enjoy supporting local businesses. They do offer food but we only wanted a couple of drinks. They have some booths available if you come w friends. So if you just need to wind down stop by local 42 for a drink or two!

    If you're looking for a local bar, out of the tourist chaos, that has those Hell's Kitchen vibes.... You done found it. Place is chill, cheap ....great find

    We absolutely loved this place. We stopped in on a whim to kill some time before other plans and it ended up being the highlight of our day. The staff is super friendly, and was more than willing to chat with you while they were free. The vibe of the place is great, you can have conversation with regulars or out of towners. The price was great too! Their private label beer is decent, but super cheap. We also grabbed the fried pickles which were excellent. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

    I Got a seat the empty bar and had there special , Corn beef and cabbage. It was thin sliced cut and not too fatty ! I had Hot mustard on da side ! This place is pretty much like a version of a dive bar but and upgraded version! They have a small menu but it does the trick! I also ordered a gunnies as well it was Poured right! And it was meal under $25

    If you love a real bar, great food, great prices, excellent service, and an outstanding bourbons all at a great price, this place is nirvana for you! It isn't fancy! I dislike fancy, pretentious bars! Adam and his team will welcome you like friends and time will fly by because it's such a warm and inviting environment!

    Beer is loving

    I love this spot, and Zoe is the best! It's my favorite place to go--especially when Zoe's there. Try the mushroom Reuben on rye--you won't regret it! #Bar #Zoe #Food #Reuben

    I had the good fortune of being taken care of by Adam, the owner, an extremely welcoming and knowledgeable host.

We each got their "Happy Meal," which is their version of happy hour: on certain days in the early evening hours, you can get a drink, meal, and 80s themed toy. We also got the Jell-O shot special (fun!) and some other fried goodies (more fries, mozzarella sticks). Everything was tasty and freshly made. What really stood out was the fantastic service. The host was warm, enthusiastic, and had great energy to welcome us in. She made our first visit to this spot feel special. Our waitress was friendly, efficient, and checked in with us throughout the evening. There's also a cute photobooth to partake in (paid) if you'd like. Overall, a fun spot to have in your back pocket for post-show drinks or if you're visiting NYC on a bachelorette trip type of thing. (Would not recommend coming with coworkers)

Behind the secret entrance is a hidden dining room with live music, sing-along moments, cocktails, and brunch favorites. And the best part? $30 bottomless cocktails with an entrée!
