Really great Irish pub vibe. A lot like cheers, it seemed everyone knew each other and very welcoming to newcomers. Had the pulled pork sandwich and a few different drinks, would definitely go back.

Nancy's is our favorite bar to visit every time we are in NYC. Darby is a fantastic friendly bartender. The food is great and the daily specials are always really good and at amazing prices. Thank You guys !!!

Nancy Whiskey Pub - The sign indoors says it all!

One of the best dive bars in NYC. Would recommend stopping if you're in TriBeCa or Chinatown - Whiskey, beer or another libation! Super atmosphere and relaxed vibe. Don't hesitate to grab a table in the mezzanine overlooking the bar. The eats ain't so bad too!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Nancy Whiskey Pub was the second stop for Meghan P's birthday drinks evening. We started with some fancy cocktails elsewhere (you know, to keep it classy), and then moved onto volume drinking here. Nancy Whiskey is your epitome of a dive bar. Not particularly my type of scene, but the drinks were cheap and strong, so no complaints there. We rolled in around 11 on a Saturday as a group of nine or so. We took a look upstairs, realized that wasn't happening, but were able to grab about 5 seats at the bar, so that worked. The shuffleboard table seems to take up valuable real estate in the bar, but it also seems to be a big draw for them, so I won't debate that business decision. Within 30 minutes or so, the bar got pretty packed, so we were glad we had our few seats at the bar. By 1 AM, the place started to empty out. The scene was pretty friendly, just people out having drinks with their buddies. My friends playing shuffleboard for the first time got some tips from some random dudes that didn't seem like they were just trolling for someone to hook up with. The bartender wasn't particularly friendly, but I don't think that's what they're going for - she was more serious than anything else. And she was working her ass off, so I give her props for that. They have a pretty good selection of brown spirits, less on the clear, and only a few beers on tap. My Makers Mark was only $6, so that kept me happy. As dive bars go, I'm ok with this one. read more

I love love love Nancy Whiskey! It's always a cozy scene, with bartenders who know the crowd and are happy to please. I especially love the blond bartender, who takes note of every drink you order and keeps it in mind. She is friendly without being intrusive, and as attentive to your drink needs as can be! Don't come here for a chic night out, or to be ironic. Come for a good time with good people. read more

I'll start by saying that I am from the Bay Area and love dive bars. My wife and I stumbled upon what appeared to be a lotto hidden gem, but it was far from that. The 2 stars are because it had shuffle board and a jukebox. The bartender was either on drugs, hammered or possibly both. We walked up to the bar and stood there dumbfounded for at least 10 minutes. Not only did the single bartender not even acknowledge us, she left her bar post to go stand at the juke box and pick a few songs to play for herself. Only then did she come back and ask our order. We ordered vodka sodas that came out like pure vodka and later noticed the bar tender using her hands to get the ice in cups(not a scoop)...that was enough for me. This place needs to call Bar Rescue immediately. read more

A dive bar in TriBeCa is a rarity. No wonder it's already bustling at 5:45pm on a Friday - probably helped that it was also happy hour. Buds are $2.50 and well shots are $3. The crowd there was of the after-work variety. Some old school rock and roll playing. All these awesome things, but the BEST thing about this place is the shuffleboard. Shuffleboard makes the world go round. Looking forward to coming back for more than just a quick drink and actually enjoying some shuffleboard action. read more

This place gets 5 stars in the category of "dive bars." You get a really good pour, great service (if Kat is working - she's awesome!) and a rocking jukebox. We went there every night of a 3-night trip to NYC and had a great time. Another plus - the customers are all a friendly group. Although I'm sure an a'hole wanders in there every so often, we didn't encounter any. Go! read more

I don't even remember how we found this place but I'm so glad we did! This is one of those dive bars that I will forever revisit any time I'm in town. Drinks are cheap and the service is awesome (Alec is great!). The space is a bit small with the shuffleboard but that's what gives it personality. There is an upstairs, but I did not venture up there so I don't know what's there besides tables and chairs. I'd definitely recommend anyone to come here! read more

Duck! The ceiling is probably only 6'2, but with all the sagging, it feels like less than that. Other things you should know: - Beer prices are cheap but not particularly stunning. - Mid-level booze prices are awesome. $5 absolut or stoli ' tonics, makers, etc. - They make a suprisingly good martini and manhattan. You might feel like a pansy drinking it next the jovial dust caked dude from local 451 sitting next to you and his surly companion. (Note to self: don't try to flash your stage directors and choreographers union card and try to bond over union dues. goes down poorly) - Like I said, "Duck" - Do NOT under any circumstances order any food other than the burger or the oddly great "fresh baked" (really?) pizza's. And the jukebox is one of the internet hooked up ones, and for two hours last night they had a phenomenally stunning run of early 80s head banging arena rock - Kiss to AC/DC Van Halen (Roth not Hagar, sigh). Duck! read more

Fun little dive bar in the area, especially if you want to get some shuffleboard going. Also has a jukebox with a pretty wide variety of music (was able to find a few obscure country songs). A few douches at the bar, we were minding our business playing some shuffleboard, drinking some jameson, and some dude trying to impress his fat girlfriend says to my boss "so what're you guys, back office?" I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact situation unfold in Boiler Room... read more

I recommended this place to some friends and took a group of us here for food and drinks. The waitress upstairs told we us were next for a table and sat us at a table after a group left. After she went downstairs for a minute, a group of men came up to us and angrily said it was their table and that they were supposed to be next. The waitress then came back after several minutes and asked us to get up after we were already seated so that this group of guys could sit there. She admitted it was her mistake but was a jerk to us and didn't have any idea about how to rectify the situation. She finally offered us to get us drinks if we went downstairs and waited further so we agreed. BUT she wanted to charge us for the Bud Light we were offered, even though it was all her mistake in seating us and then unseating us and forcing us to deal with this angry group of guys. Thanks, but no thanks, Nancy Whiskey Pub! Yeah, you're a shitty dive bar, but I thought my friends and I would have fun here.

Nancy Whiskey is a real neighborhood bar. It's been the way it is today for as long as I can remember. It hasn't been impacted by all the hipsteritis and pretentious upscale restaurants and bars that have popped over Tribeca and Soho. You get a great mix of folks: bankers escaping the financial district, police officers and fireman from nearby precincts and firehouses, construction workers, musicians - the kind of place where actual local folks hangout. Drinks are cheap (by NYC standards), burgers are good and the bar conversations range of hilarious to bizarre. The Nancy Whisky is legit. read more

Interesting low key pub house near m1-5 club. My friends and i came here to pregame after searching for one $ bar. This place is really small but has everything from tambourine playing middle aged bartender to pool table on the side. We went upstairs to sit and the ceiling was very very low. I ordered a shot of tequila and my friends ordered mixed drinks. What i like about this place is that they gave me a cup of tequila, not a shot. It was well worth 2 shots in a cup. My friends told me their mixed drinks were really strong too. The bill came out to be around $85 and we ordered about 6-8 mixed drinks with 2 shots of tequila which is like SUPER cheap!! I was so happy and drunk after two shots and i shall definitely pay another visit to pregame. If you're looking for fun hip vibe, this is not for you. But if you're looking for a shot or two for pregame then come here, chug some shots then head to m1-5 read more

You know that neighborhood bar in the hometown you left behind, in the hilly redneck country wherever, the place that called itself an Irish pub because they served Jameson and sometimes had a working tap that did Guinness, but most people drank Coors or Bud (lights, y'know), and that also served french fries that played on your tastebuds like deep-fried, extruded cardboard, where you'd go with your friends before you were 21 and hope not to get carded and eat shitty burgers and look at all the people with busted up livers and broken hands (probably earned in a domestic dispute, or near the stool they're sitting on now)?

This place was one of the highlights of my week visit to the city. It appeared to be a dive, which I love, and I noticed it across the street from my hotel room. My hotel recommended I go so I gave it a shot. What a great feeling it was to get drinks in NYC at the right price. Mixed drinks/shots $5!!!! Beers $5 or less!! Their Happy Hour specials are out of this world with beers for $2.50. I regret not trying any food but it all looked great and of course the prices were right. This is a bar for the people and loved by the people. The staff was great, yes even crazy Frank who drank all day behind the bar, and prices were a sigh of relief from the $10 beers I had been paying. I truly miss this place already and will go to Nancy's every time I am back to NYC. read more

I needed to find a place in Tribeca with cheap drinks for my birthday. Nancy Whiskey Pub is a dive bar with shuffleboard and ridiculously cheap drinks, so this was an easy choice. $5.50 Stoli drinks (normally $8) is a great value, but nothing in life is free. The clientele here consists of weird old men, weird young men, and weird young men in flip flops. Actual conversations include weird old men (and I mean weird! like Riders on the Storm, Killer-Bob, denim vest, long gray hair weird) lying about their age ("I'm only 35 I swear"), and another weird young man telling me that my female friend was intimidated by his rugged good looks and muscles (he was not jacked, not good looking, and wearing a polo shirt reminiscent of the TGI Fridays staff shirts). It also smells like urine. read more

We were looking for a dive and we found it: small and dark, festooned with graffiti and stickers, and there was indeed punk rock playing--perfect. We bellied up to the bar and my eyes went right to the frozen margarita machine--yes, please. It was heaven on a 95+ degree day. The hubby got a beer and bourbon.

The Amazake Kick was balanced with just the right amount of sweetness, making it a fantastic starter. For food, we ordered the scotch egg, sliders, and fish and chips. The scotch egg was solid, though the sausage layer felt slightly dry this time around. The sliders were great, while the fish and chips were decent--nicely crispy, but the fish needed a bit more flavor seasoning. We tried several other drinks throughout the night, and my top three recommendations would be the Amazake Kick, Hotmail, and Lock & Key.

Monkey Bar became one of my favorite Midtown restaurants because its modern history ran almost…read moreperfectly alongside my years in New York. I arrived in 2008 with very little, and when Graydon Carter revived the restaurant in 2009, I was beginning a rise of my own, first at a large global bank and then, to my astonishment, at one of the city's most powerful investment firms. The suits were daily, the walls were gold, and the pressure was so consuming that even success could feel like a form of attrition. After a few years, I moved to a smaller firm with Southern roots, where the culture was more humane, the work gave me greater autonomy, and I produced some of the strongest results of my career, even within an industry still governed by fear, greed, and status. Inside, the red booths, low lighting, generous spacing, and hand-painted monkey murals made lunch feel ceremonial without becoming stiff. The room was timeless and handsome, with polished service, quality food, and the subtle assurance of a place where you could be proud to bring someone important. I especially remember sitting in one of those booths with two mentors, each only a few years older than I was and therefore close enough in vintage to feel relatable, trustworthy, and genuinely within reach. One had entered my life after I left the larger firm and helped me understand an earlier chapter that had also ended abruptly and, at the time, felt deeply unfair; the other had guided me through the smaller firm where I finally found a more sustainable way to work. Over that long lunch, I introduced them, we discussed several promising ideas, and for a moment my career seemed to have reached the point where relationships, experience, and opportunity were finally converging. One of those ideas consumed an extraordinary amount of my time and energy, and I believed it might become the foundation of my next chapter. Instead, the arrangement eventually turned on me, the role I thought I had earned never materialized, and the business itself sputtered. My professional life, financial footing, and pride all collapsed just as COVID was beginning. Then Monkey Bar closed in 2020, which made the ending feel almost unnervingly complete: the restaurant, the city, and the version of myself built around New York finance all went dark at once. For years, I experienced that ending as devastating and unfair; now I can see it as wisdom delivered through an unnecessarily rough process. The restaurant's later revival by a Chicago hospitality group feels fitting because it still honors tradition and ceremony while allowing the old forms to evolve into something healthier, looser, and more current. I have not been back since that lunch, but a return now would feel like visiting the museum of my past, not reclaiming a life that asked too much, gave too little, and finally lost its hold on me. Even now, I remember Monkey Bar as a great Midtown lunch in a memorable room, surrounded by the residue of old ambitions and the gratitude of having survived them. The cocktails were sharp, the service was impeccable, and the dining room carried that glamorous old New York energy without feeling trapped by it. I remain deeply fond of the place, partly for what it was and partly for what it witnessed. Some restaurants become attached to a chapter of your life, and Monkey Bar holds mine with unusual grace.

It featured a crispy, sugar-glazed exterior and a soft, chewy interior, topped with truffle cheese and served with a truffle butter dip; the pairing was superb, and it tasted great both on its own and with the dip. For the main course, I ordered the miso-glazed black cod. The flavor was flawless, and while the portion was small (which was acceptable), the pool of broth accompanying it was completely unnecessary; it was inedibly salty, so what was the point of serving it? After finishing the fish, I was left with a plate full of broth, rendering the plate unusable. Plus, it was overpriced; for this dish, you're better off going to Strip House Strip House remains the undisputed king of this dish in New York. A friend ordered the chicken parmesan. It was just average. Another friend ordered the short rib stroganoff. The flavor was decent, but it was far too rich and heavy. As someone whose palate is split 50/50 between Western and Chinese cuisine, I could manage only five bites at most. If you have a palate that prefers 100% Chinese food, proceed with caution on this dish. Friends ordered sides of mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. These are dishes originally meant for low-income Americans to fill up on cheaply; there's no limit to how good they can be, but also no floor to how bad they can get. Both were on par with the average quality found in upscale restaurants. Honestly, these are two dishes I would never order myself. To sum up: the atmosphere was great. It's also hard to get a reservation; the place was packed when we had lunch at 2 PM. Aside from that monkey bread, I didn't feel like anything else justified the price or offered something you couldn't find elsewhere. I don't quite get the hype. Perhaps I just didn't order the right dishes; maybe next time I'll try the burger and the steak.

Loooove the juicy bugers! This an old school joint, where you feel like you are just in your home town bar. The food is great, and service is excellent. It gets busier on weekends, but if you avoid the hectic friday night crowd, this is the best place in Manhattan! We order cheeseburgers and irish nachos, and everything was perfect. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, might be one of the best kept secrets in the city.... The upstairs is kind of small and claustrophobic, but they have made the best of it. Jukebox is banging good old rock n'roll all night, and most of the customers are regulars. The shuffleboard is a lot of fun, we made some new friends while learning how to play. Eric (one of the regulars) showed us how to play, and after that we were hooked... We will definitely make a second and third visit, we love you, Nancy's! read more

Oh my god! I love this place! I was there this past Friday, and the place was swamped, but I have never felt so comfortable!! The service was excellent. We got a table in the corner upstairs, and we had to wait a little to get it, but once we got seated, it was all rock n roll! The food was excellent, we ordered the basic burgers and an order of loaded cheese fries. We had to wait a little, but that is understanding, there was hardly standing room left. I would love to come back on a regular day (when it is less crowded). The drinks were nice, maybe on the smaller side, but the waitress checked on us often, so we were good. It's a nice dive bar experience and I pretty much felt just at home there. Great job, Nancy's, we love you, and will no doubt be back soon :) read more

Quite possibly the worst experience I've had in a bar in my whole life. I will never ever set foot in Nancy Whiskey Pub ever again. Not as long as they employ bitter, angry, incompetent, racist, ignorant, rude bartenders (middle-aged woman with blonde hair working Sunday nights) who loudly call the protesters on Wall Street "brats who don't want to get a job and just want hand outs" while proclaiming their support and concern for the NYPD and then later say they don't like Canal Street because of the "Africans who crowd in the doorsteps" all while you've been waiting 20 minutes for a beer refill.

One of the classic dive bars in the city. If you walk in and just absorb the atmosphere while drinking, you're in for a good time. The place seems to be always full of both regulars and rookies. Drinks are cheap, and the food is good (one of the best burgers in town). The bartenders are everything you would expect at a dive bar - they work hard (often understafffed when they are busy), they're fun, and they love music. Big tip: don't bring an attitude and be friendly; it will be come right back at you. If you cop an attitude, that will also come back at you.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. I am not the type to write bad reviews but honestly I'm so angry that I felt compelled to do so. I've been here about four or five times and most of the bartenders are just full a-holes for no reason. I work in the industry so I can understand how stressful the job can be, however, their service is just so unnecessarily rude. The tall guy bartender is especially the worst. He is super racist and is extremely mean and aggressive to anyone who is brown/black. Also it's a cop bar and cops frequent the place and all cops are bastards. Don't come here.

A very quaint feeling, mixed with the rabble rousing of a busy, crowded New York bar. The pitchers are very affordable. I go here as often as I can. The best part of the bar is the small upstairs area they have that overlooks the crowd around the game table and door. They often attract very passionate sports fans during the playoff seasons.

This place has the best burgers. It is inexpensive too! The place is small and we sat upstairs. I would highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a cold beer and good food. read more

Great dive bar if you want to just hang out and have some drinks. Love the juke box and shuffleboard.
