    Tuna sandwich
    David T.

    I love Nancy's pub!!! One of my favorite pubs here in the city. The tuna sandwich was delicious!!!! With a nice crisp glass of Sauvignon blanc. The bartender is a sweet woman and very attentive. Nancy's pub is quaint and cozy. You wouldn't know it's there unless you knew it was there.

    Bartender incredibly rude. We were just having a good time on a Sunday afternoon after a couple of friends finished a half marathon and we were playing the shuffle board game and they asked us to keep it down. Now I would understand if we were incredibly drunk or loud but honestly we just had a couple of drinks and we were just having a good time. Drinks weren't event than good. Will not be back. Bar weirdly small. Kinda didn't like it at all. Everyone very rude.

    This place is 100% just a classic dive bar in a good way! It was small place but had decent bar seating and a few tables. It also had a shuffle board which was fun to play. We didn't order food so I can't speak to that but all of the drinks we got were good! Additionally, the drinks were super affordable especially for NYC. The bartender was nice and also did a great job of managing all the orders alone even when it got busy.

    I visited this pub last weekend and had such a fun time! The place was buzzing with Halloween decor and people dressed up in costumes. My friends and I wanted to visit Blood Manor for their haunted house and this was the perfect place to hang out before. The drinks were tasty (but maybe not too strong). The bartender was really nice, she was quick with our order and had some good recommendations including their frozen spiked coffee and frozen marg.

    Great whiskey & scotch selection, best prices in the TriBeCa neighborhood, great burgers, wings, and fries, and delightfully tacky decor. What else could you possible ask for in a dive bar? Great ambiance, history, and vibe. You can trust any place that has a shuffle board to make for fun times, and the music is all over the place (in a good way). If you're ever in the neighborhood, this is your dive bar after a long day at the office, or while waiting to meet a friend, or to even just spend your whole time here. It's a hoot.

    Dark and Stormy on a Dark and Stormy Night

    Some co-workers and I ventured out to this pub in a storm from the hotel to have a drink (or two) and debrief from a business-y day. It was like a scene from a movie where we ran in the door, slammed it shut behind us, and genuinely welcomed to their establishment and thanked for braving the weather to pay them a visit. How nice. A double of Tullamore Dew for me, Basil Hayden, and Woodford with a few ice cubes for round one and we were set. I switched it up to a Dark and Stormy to represent the weather for round 2 and they were Brought over to the table. It was a nice, quiet place to have a discussion without yelling over music or what some people call music. I'd totally go back if I was in the area. Thanks to the staff for the friendly, excellent service.

    i highly suggested not to enter this bar...all the bartender is rude and kicks you out if you dont tip them and banned you for life and they made the security push me out even tho i was leaving a nice way. if im drunk i highly dont know what im doing how the freak am i gonna tip if im drunk as hell. i really used to love this bar but now how they treating me like trash even tho im a generous customer and just enjoy the vibes. they bar really small. i wish i could give them 0 stars review.

    Chicken nuggets and mozz sticks
    Megan M.

    After dinner and cocktails at Spring Place I was excited to head back to Ben's "small place" on Franklin. He had the trifecta in Tribeca the ladies want. Over 6ft, family money and he didn't once mention crypto currency or interest rates on the first 2 dates. (Yes this trifecta exists in other neighborhoods too like Brooklyn heights or the west village, but I tend to redecorate every year or so, so I don't want to hear about how we can't throw away your great aunts floral couch...I'm sorry it's gotta go.)He was doing well. The bar is low guys. It also didn't hurt that when I Google'd him his grandmas AD tour of the family Nantucket house showed up....it was on the first page I didn't even scroll. So when he said let's grab one more I was concerned I hadn't given the right vibes...I wanted to go to his place. I had the perfect outfit combo of sexy librarian yet respectable mate for grandma to meet, only one coat of lip gloss to prove I cared about my looks but not too much. Respectable 2 inch Tom ford era Gucci sandals and some vintage Celine, with my blue light glasses. When he opened the door to Nancy's I knew this place was a good vibe. Billy Joel was playing, a mix of teamsters and finance bros filled the place. He grabbed my hand and took me to the second floor. From our perch we watched and ate more. Tequila sodas appear along with mozz sticks and pizza. Ben wasn't fighting fair. I wanted him now. I pictured sitting on his grandmas patio, she called a veranda, sipping a south side as Ben brought me chicken nuggets this summer, it, he was perfect. I said I had to use the rest room (the only thing I don't recommend about this place is their bathroom), instead I went to the bar and paid the bill. Walked back upstairs and whispered in his ear "we are going to your place now". He nodded. I think I may have a beach house/boyfriend for the summer. Guys take girls to Nancy's. It's a sure thing. Girls this place is full of cute tall guys. Bonus points if they have a 2500sqft place down the street like Ben

    Jameson Black Barrel
    Steve A.

    Best dive bar. It may be about the cheapest bar in the city. Nancy Whiskey Pub is a longtime favorite. Lots of names are scribbled on the walls everywhere. The bathrooms are scary but it's fun to read the walls. A lot of action takes place at the main bar. It gets crowded. This is hard to find a seat at even in the afternoon so you can imagine how crazy it is at happy hour. By the name of the place you can also imagine whiskey is the drink of choice. They have tons of the common brands plus more select versions. It's about $3 for wells at happy hour, and that's about the cheapest you can get in the city. The more select stuff like the Jameson Black Barrel is about $10 or so. Food is typical stuff that's greasy and fried. Things like burgers, fries, and wings. Another room is located upstairs and it's cramped. The ceiling is extra low so grab a seat and sit. It also has fun activities. Shuffleboard is a popular game. They have tournaments.

Tucked into the Financial District, this spot blends old New York history with some of the best cocktails in the city--and it's easy to see why it's been named "World's Best Bar" more than once. The name itself has a wild backstory, inspired by a notorious 19th-century Irish-American gang from Five Points. It adds a layer of character to the place, but what really keeps people coming back is the atmosphere and the drinks. The space is split into two levels: a two lively, sawdust-floored Taprooms downstairs and a more refined Parlor upstairs if you're in the mood for a quieter, cocktail-focused experience. Drinks are the real highlight here. The Irish Coffee is widely considered one of the best in the world--rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced with whiskey, coffee, and fresh cream. They also get creative with variations like a frozen version and even an Irish Coffee martini. If you want something different, the "Act Naturally" is a standout, mixing Irish whiskey with Guinness and fig in a way that works. Food is just as impressive for a bar. The lobster deviled eggs (topped with caviar) are a must-try, and the menu leans into elevated comfort food. Overall, The Dead Rabbit nails the balance between historic charm and modern cocktail excellence. The D.R. is one of those places that is never boring and consistently delivers.

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!

We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.
