The bar is a casual setting, keep in mind that there isn't a dress code! I've seen people come in after weddings! There are different themed nights and they bring in different DJs. The staff is either family, friends, or Harlem locals, and you can even bring your own food if you need some backup for those strong drinks. Drinks are fairly low, a Don Julio Margarita is $15, and if you have Laray or Tracey make them be prepared !! There are even nights where there are $100 bottles of Moet. The bar can get packed, so there is sometimes a bit of wait, but the bartenders never forget! There is a homey aspect and the bartenders even remember names and orders. The vibe? Local, chill, and all about dancing! The crowd can be mature but to be honest between the drinks and the DJ you will be moving! The music is mostly Hip Hob & R&B, with a sprinkle of reggae or AfroBeats. The music gets louder to make it a party vibe during the later hours on the weekend. Whether you're pre-gaming, winding down, or just want a casual night out (weekends or when DJHoody pulls up), this is the spot!

Although they had tables out front, loved the inside! While crowded at the bar and adjacent tables, we found seating for ourselves in the mezzanine overlooking the place - a great spot to have a conversation and reconnect! The bartender was friendly. The beer and cider selection is wide, including more specialty beverages with zero alcohol, CBD, and THC. And if conversation requires a stimuli, you're surrounded by branded ephemera (like Burger King and Ronald McDonald painted busts), TVs, artwork filling the place from floor to rafters. Will definitely return to Broadway Dive!

I'd love to have spent more time here and to have had more food/drinks, maybe next time. Inside did look pretty small; it might be a challenge to get seated. Of course I'm unsure, but I'm happy to try it out.

Jordi, their head bartender, also gave me his personal number so would could discuss the amazing cocktail recipes I can make at home.

Great service once again, the wings and truffle fries were good, drinks were phenomenal. City Coffee & Bar will definitely be my go to place for hookah & drinks in the area.

All but one round of drinks were at the happy hour price and each drink was now $20. It's odd because the food happy hour orders didn't go up but the drinks did? Either way, we didn't agree with the bill and after some discussion with the bartender, it was lowered but they tacked on an automatic gratuity (I guess as a way to compensate) but it was only two of us, so that should have never happened, especially since gratuity is optional. This experience honestly ruined the vibe and our willingness to come back again. It's really a shame because we looked forward to Monday happy hour because getting good drinks at that price is rare in the city and is a nice gem when it happens. I understand the desire to cash in on events like this, but your originality and integrity is what keeps customers and return customers. I'm sorry but I don't think I'll be back, even though it's a nice establishment. This experience was just too sour.
