The perfect place to stop for a midday beer in Soho. Rearrangable tables and seating accommodates larger groups. If you're lucky they might even have some complimentary bagels and cream cheese to accompany your PBR. read more

The Spring Lounge - PBR and Bagels - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

I've said it once and I'll say it again; my favorite category on Yelp is most definitely Dive Bars. The Spring Lounge is as good as it gets. Always such a fun atmosphere, great people, and I ALWAYS without a doubt run into someone I know here. Pro tip: Order pizza from across the street and eat it here since they do not have a kitchen :) xoxo read more

I just got projectile vomited on by a patron at this bar. This place is absolutely not responsible for the state of their patrons and it impacted everyone's time tonight. Absolutely disgusting and will not be returning. I can get a $10 Corona elsewhere. read more

I used to spend far too much time here back in my 'stomping days'. Yes, far too many good times. Being away from it I was wondering if the magic would still be here. The neighbourhood vibe, the winning service, beer samples, juke box and overall dive attitude. Well, I can happily say, it's all still here ---- during the week! The customer service never lacks in here but the ultra cool locals vacate come Friday night making way for the annoyance of out-of-towners, college kids and those who have no idea what 'alternative style' is so make a mess of it. I stopped in around 12ish to try a new beer and mull over past sessions. Immediately greeted by Owner #3 (lol) I sampled the Empire Cream Ale. Tasty. I indulged in a half pint and a few giggles with other patrons. Spring St. has added free hot dog Wednesdays and free bagel Sundays to their arsenal...although this place never needed any gimmicks because it's the owners, staff and locals that make it so brilliant. The place has gained extra bar space but other than that, it is virtually the same place that I would walk into & stumble out of all those years ago. I cannot help but smile being in Spring St. Lounge. A solid 4 stars! read more

We were looking for a bar to have a few drinks at with a group of friends while visiting the area. The Spring Lounge seemed like fun spot so we came in! They have very reasonable prices for the area and it was packed on a Saturday afternoon! Seemed like a little younger crowd, but we had a ton of fun! Recommend if your looking for a chill, cheaper place! read more

Honestly, quite a good dive bar! Came here for a night cap this week and certainly was impressed by the space and the vibe. The bartenders were all super nice, including transferring my one drink over to my friends tab after I had opened mine and decided to go home. The beer selection was very impressive with great prices. I'm also grateful to find a new dive bar spot and will return for sure! read more

spring lounge more like don't serve us at a table lounge. we were sooooo thirsty and the server just skipped us and was rude !

I love this bar also. I sit in the front window corner, have beers and shots with everyone, or I sit at the bench during the day and bs about the week while the tourists explore lil Italy, or I sit in the back with my drunk friends and punk the regulars and my friends, or I can hang around bumpin into ransoms listen to the juke. I just wish there was more than one can and the door is heavy on the . This is the spot you can either start or end the night and still meet a grip of people. The drink prices aren't bad and it's better than anything around the block. Check it, and if you spot me lets get a Jameson's! read more

The Spring Lounge - sharks and grandmas! - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

Awesome drink choice (they have a few hot drinks available for $10), follows COVID protocols, chill setting. This is all I ask for in today's environment. Also, huge shoutout to the awesome staff especially Kristen! read more

This is definitely my favorite bar in soho, I love the atmosphere, friendly and quick service with a smile. The decor keeps you looking and the layout is is spacious. Sports on the tele if you want them or you can retreat to the back for a bit of small talk and a little more privacy. Last I was there they had a steamed hot dog cart, gotta love it! No payment necessary.. just something to keep you in check as you putting a few pints down. *If you're not into "Dive Bars".. it's not for you and don't trash it if it isn't your thing* Prince Street Pizza is near by and it's some of the best in NYC. Always a plus when good pizza is nearby. I look forward to coming back, grabbing a pint and a dog! read more

justin...the bald one with with the beer belly and receding hairline was the rudest server i have ever met in my entire life. he snapped at us.....and told us to leave as soon as we sat down because we "didn't look 21" we are in fact of age but left due to the unsettling commentary. he was very rude and left us very upset because we just wanted a damn beer. read more

Open early in the morning, I used to go to this bar to study when I was in college years ago and lived on the block. We stopped in for a drink before breakfast and ended up staying till lunchtime. The bartender was super laid back and there is free WiFi. There's a variety of beer and spirits and the patrons were open and fun but respectful. A guy next to us at the bar was studying and we chatted with him for a few minutes before letting him go back to work. Beer is beer is beer but the vibe of this place is great. Laidback, divey without being gross. Bathroom was very clean. read more

Bartender charged me 20$ for a car bomb, not because she was incompetent but because she was clearly wasted, running back and forth and being extremely argumentative with all her guests. I paid 60$ for 1 beer and 2 shots(bombs) at a dive bar and was yelled at by the staff for inquiring as to why. Would not recommend read more

I'm at a loss for words. This place is an absolute disgrace. I came here a few times and it was always just "okay," but the last time really left a sour taste in my mouth. These buffoons have no idea how to run an establishment. This place is a MESS. I came here after work to meet my slime piece; she got there a little bit earlier being eager to see me. She came outside to keep me company as I stood in line and to drive off other ladies (what can I say?) but the bouncer, a complete hoser, told her to go to the back of the line even though she was already inside. We were shocked. The guy looked like a complete wet noodle too. Weird that a bar would hire a bouncer who looks that weak; can't imagine him running a tight ship physically or mentally. I guess it's tough being such a massive jabronie. He probably got jealous due to a lack of feminine comforts. We get inside and the place is full of degenerates. I'm starting to believe the big apple really is a hive of scum and soy. For a bar that's been around since prohibition, you'd think the joint would be a little classier. At least the place smells its age. Complete buffoons to the left and right of me. I started to worry what my broad might think of me so we had to slam our drinks and dip (we went to a much classier joint afterwards). If you're a soyboy hoser who hates trapping power, the grindset, or the finer things in life, this bar is just the one for you. read more

This joint was one of my favorite stops in NYC! When you walk in the door you can smell how old it actually is.. trust me & they open at 8am. Great windows at every angle over look Little Italy, beautiful bar, ancient wood floors, awesome little tables by the windows as well as a ParTyiN' "Nook" make this place just amazing! They have about 8 beers on the draft list heavy on the locals as well as a full bar. Clientele seems to be heavy on the locals as well.. I witnessed a 90 year old man ParTyiN' at the bar & chatting with the tourists! Service is great and they have great bartenders that pop up from the floor behind the bar; no your not seeing things. The bar is a beautiful place.. must stop in SOHO! PS- Charging Station in back read more

I love when I can give at least 4-stars to a dive bar = my favorite oxymoron! This place had a great vibe, welcoming enough for us tourists, and was elbow to elbow standing room only when we walked in @ 9:00 on a Thursday. I liked seeing not only the beer menu but the ALC% of each listed for the somewhat uneducated, such as myself :) I tried Brooklyn Lager on suggestion of the barkeep.....was tasty enough to order a second! The music could have been a bit louder, but it also meant our table enjoyed great conversation and, since we were catching up after too long apart, that was a good thing on this particular evening. As an out-of-towner, really enjoyed the SoHo vibe :) read more

Very nice, moderately divey, chill bar in Nolita. They pour some excellent stuff: Brooklyn Black Ops, 21st Amendment Allies Win the War, Lagunitas Maximus, etc. Pretty spacious with a rustic back room of barrels and small camp tables, though I don't see why it has to be so dark in there. Seems like a mixed crowd, with no one constituency dominating, which is always nice. Bartender was friendly as well. I'd return. read more

Spring Lounge is the best bar in NYC bar none. It's always been like a home away from home for me and even when I moved from living just two blocks away (it was a sad day), I still go here as often as I can. Being a regular, you are treated like one of the family and staff could not be any nicer or better at their jobs. From Kevin on the door to Ryan and Derm behind the bar, the service is second-to-none. Even if you are new, the treatment is the same - they just don't know your name (yet). Every single person I have brought here has ended up becoming a regular. For as long as I live in this crazy city I will come here. Oh and it opens at 8am!!! What is not to love. read more

My wife and I visited the Spring Lounge in August 2013. We were staying 1/4 of a mile away and during a beer search, I found the Spring had it. During my first five minutes I decided this was a great dive bar. They have a pretty nice beer selection with a very friendly bartender. Most of the crowd appeared 21-45 in age and there were multiple places to sit and relax! We enjoyed the bar so much we went for a second night. The bartender remembered what we were drinking. Both nights we went were around 11:30PM and that was during the week. It was busy but you could still move around the bar. Yes the bathroom is small. Overall this is a great bar to watch the game or meet up. I'll definitely stop again! Keep up the good work, read more

One of my favorite dive bars in NYC... not too trashy if you know what I mean. They have tons of beer selections and the bartenders are always super friendly and willing to suggest their top picks. I tried the pumpkin something the other day and it was great. The place is always packed on wekeend nights (gets super packed around 9:30-10pm) but if you get here before "bar rush hour" you'll be able to grab a nice spot either in the front or the back of the bar. The place is super laid back and great for people watching. I guess since it's so close to soho it draws a good looking crowd... very plaid shirt kind of place. My only complain is that the place only has two TVs. I wish I could make this my "lets go see that awesome Yankees game" bar but unfortunately that is not the case. I have to go down the street to firefly for the sports bar kind of vibe. Anyways, I love this place, highly recommended for a good time. read more

Waiter made it seem like he was bringing us a round of shots on the house and then charged us for them, including the one he got for himself. It literally doubled our bill. Everything else was fine but I probably won't go back after that. read more

I love a good dive bar and The Spring Lounge is no exception to that rule. A friend of mine took me there for a quick shot and beer last weekend and informed me that the place is one of the only spots in town that is still permitted to open at 6am. So, if you're looking to get your drinking day started early, I suppose this is the spot. Geeze, thinking of having my first drink at 6am is tough but, I'm not 21 anymore ;) Anyway, the bartender was friendly, they had free bagels and cream cheese (we were there around noon) and the place was pretty darn busy. They have a couple TVs so if you're interested in watching Sunday NFL, this is a cool option. Cheap drinks, good local vibe and free bagels on Sunday. What more could you want in a local dive?! read more

What a nice lounge. It's super chill. It's clearly a bar, but some people come in here to have a beer and do work on their laptops, etc, which is actually pretty cool. Towards the back there are seats and tables that you can just chill and drink. There are no bartenders that walk around and take your order- you just walk up to the bar and order/pay for whatever you want. I think it's pretty nice because you can just sit and relax and drink a beer without the pressure of constantly ordering something. My friend and I got a whiskey sour and a tequila shot, both solid choices. But that tequila shot really got us feeling it...so definitely recommend! read more

The crowd here skewed a little too fratty for my tastes but the doorman/bartenders are awesome and the drinks are pretty cheap and wide-ranging. I'll be back! read more

Dive bar that can serve brews before Noon on Sunday (and serves from 8am M-S). Nice little twist there. Happy to say they have above average draughts as well. Prices aren't quite as dive-y as you'd hope, but still reasonable. There's a TV in the corner, should you need to watch the Manchester derby*, like I did last week. Manager was happy to put it on the tube, even though no one else but me really cared. It's been a bit empty in my visits here, but they've all been random afternoon sessions, so that's exactly the atmosphere I was hoping for. Overall, a cool spot to grab a drink and for some people watching. If you're into the no frills bar experience and shark decor, you'll enjoy yourself here. Bonus: while drankin they brought out a basket of bagels and spreads. * - We're pals if you know what this is read more

If you're looking for the perfect NYC dive, look no further. The Spring Lounge is an awesome way to mix it up in otherwise expensive and trendy Soho. Not sure why, but it's shark themed and honestly, I gotta say I love it! Stopped in last night with a bud-- the bouncer was the man, the bartenders were attentive, but definitely not overbearing. They're got a great selection of beers and the bouncer told us that they change it up all the time, which I definitely appreciate. There were ton of people there-- there's lots of seating at the bar, tall boy tables, and window seats/benches full of friends. Everyone seemed very happy. Lots of cute guys there too!! Always a bonus ;) read more

So, say your boss yells at you. And then you spill coffee on yourself. And then you find out that the cute coworker that you sort of like has decided that he sort of likes you not at all. And that raise? Forgetaboutit. When you realize that you have done yourself an epic disservice by waking up in morning, this is the place for you. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Go here at 5:31pm and join Manhattan's other underpaid and under-appreciated white collar entry-level employees. It's not fancy, it's not pretty, it's not especially anything. But there is a bartender and a jukebox and a whole bunch of sharks on the wall. After "one of those days" that's pretty much all you need. read more

I wish there were negative stars so that I could give this place a more accurate review. I was asked to "get the fuck out" after walking in with 2 of my other coworkers when gathering for a daytime meeting earlier today. I sat down and took out my computer and hoped that I would be able to connect to the wireless network. After being unsuccessful in this attempt, I walked up to the bar to ask the bartender what the wifi network is. He said there isn't any network which was s a lie because the guy sitting next to me was using his computer. Then after I attempted to ask the guy next to me, the bartender screams out at the guy and tells him not to tell me. Then the old bartender goes on a profanity laced tirade saying that since we couldn't spend $2 to get a club soda, he wouldn't allow us to use their wifi. Sir, can I set up to handle business first? I had full intention on purchasing a whiskey after I was set up. Then he continued to say "get the fuck out" to myself and my other guests. I was there to have a meeting with some business clients and it wound up being very embarrassing. I hope no one goes to this place and has this experience ever again. I know I wouldn't recommend it. I'm used to bad customer service, this is NYC, but this was on another level. read more

It's a bar that encourages you to drink early. There are hipsters there. They had no drink specials at 3pm on a Friday. But there were people having Lombardi's pizza, so it seemed like a good way to beat the wait at Lombardi's. read more

The crowd on a weekend night was the wack attack, and the decor has a frat house vibe. But if you have a window seat and you like architectural details, you can get through about a half hour in this bar just mulling over the ceiling. Also, there's exposed brick in the back room. I can't really hate anywhere with exposed brick. It's a disease. read more

We were there 2 times in late May 2022. Both times we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The patrons were great...friendly and fun to talk to...and the bartender, David, was beyond great. If you want a fun, unassuming place to go to for good beer and drinks....a place that's just like the bar in the small town you grew up in where everyone went to have a good time, THIS IS YOUR PLACE TO GO. read more

What can be said about the greatest dive bar in all of NYC? I work around the corner and have spent numerous nights here. Great beer, good crowd, great seating (people-watchers will love it). Come on Wednesdays for free beer-cooked hot dogs. read more

The Spring Lounge - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

If I lived in NYC, this would be a regular haunt of mine. I really appreciate the sign on the jukebox about how they won't return your dollar if you have bad taste in music and they decide to skip your song. (Don't remember the exact wording, but I loved it) And the prices are actually reasonable! I have been on weekend nights, when it can tend to get too crowded, but on an ordinary afternoon, this is a great, casual spot to kick back and have a few pints with some friends. read more

In an effort to save money I did a search on Wednesday for happy hours near work. I never plan for happy hour because I suspect the liquor is crap and the bar is too crowded. But this week, I decided to throw caution to the wind. I picked The Spring Lounge for the free hot dogs (wow!) and because it's just a couple blocks from work. I was proven right: Happy Hours are not actually that happy. The bar was not too crowded but, despite the website touting: "Weekday Happy Hour! $1 off draught beer and well drinks, Mon-Fri from 5-7pm" the bartender looked at me like I had two heads and said there was no happy hour. When I asked what appeared to be the bar manager what was up, she said they don't do happy hour on Wednesdays because of the free hot dogs. Well, #1, the free hot dogs are barely decent and worth about 10 cents. #2, it's time to update your website. read more

Fun "dive" bar. Spring Lounge is inherently a dive bar, but I must say that this is the least dive bar-y dive bar I've been to! The interior is fun, with barrels as chairs and random tables scattered around. I came here with a group of 4 around 8-9pm and we quickly got seated. The place got packed very quickly (on a Wednesday night too!) and soon people were vying for chairs. The beer list was great and not expensive, well drinks were around 7$ and the bartenders were very attentive! The crowd was interesting, a good amount of different people: old, young, hipsters, businessmen, chicks. All-in-all, seems like a fun place to chill with a good group of friends. read more

My kinda bar...good beer, cool vibe, and a smartass bartender. Congratulated my wife for winning last week's wet t-shirt contest, and said that I was better looking than the guy she was with...thanked us for coming, then kindly told us to get the f#*~ out of his bar...perfect! Awesome place for day drinking and people-watching. If you don't have a sense of humor, you might wanna keep looking... read more

This place is okay. Not sure if I'm saying this because the night I went (last Wed), may have sucked only on that night, and not any other night. Anyhow, there were a bunch of creeps there, and many of them didn't get the hint. My friend wanted to get out of there too bc she felt so uncomfortable. People were falling over on us, etc. This place is spacey though, with small tables and whatnot. Beer is good. read more

hands down my favorite dive bar in manhattan. great beer selection, cheap mixed drinks, and i love the bartender (jay).

A swanky cocktail party in an unbelievably huge designer apartment, schmoozing with rich people, can only last so long before you need to just move on. We ended up at The Spring Lounge to meet people. Someone got me a beer while I took in what I recall as a typical dive bar with a crazy-expensive internet juke box. People were pretty hammered and ready to talk your head off; I'm pretty sure I saw someone pass out standing up. Honestly, there's not much else to say about this place except that it's possible I'll end up here again unexpectedly. read more

It's been a long time since I dropped in on this place and I've been nostalgic for my own "old New York" lately. Happy to see that this place hasn't changed. Just a properly poured Guinness and some laughing banter around the bar. The bartender is cool and efficient. This is still a place that people come to read paperback books. Personally, I'd rather people watch through the big glass windows. Fun place. Great spot to hang with friends. read more
