Broadway Dive Bar

It’s a pretty great bar aka not a dive. It’s small and intimate without any of the craziness you see in bars in hells kitchen, the Financial Distract or (oh, sweet jesus) down past Chelsea.
The Bartenders rock as does the drink selection as does the clientele. Basically, it’s that place you should bring that Tinder date you are getting pretty sure about.

Had a great time at the bar. This is the place for a quiet date or just to watch the game with a beer or two.

Good place near my apartment! Where you can have a fun time with friends! They have a big choice of different beers!

Most excellent, cozy, quiet, grown up bar with college prices. Wonderful bartenders, jukebox at a sensible leave. What’s not to love about bway dive? If you’re lucky you might even get to claim one of the upper decks books which provide a magical place to enjoy your libations.

$ 4 corkage on the only decent gluten free beer makes me sad and will prevent me coming here as often as I’d like. That said, they do at least have that good gluten free beer, and they also have good people and Christmas lights and you feel like you’re in a boat and the bartendress has the best hair you’ve ever seen so all in all, not too shabby.

Another top bar in NYC. This place is loaded with them.
On our way back from Toms Diner (Seinfeld), we found this joint. It’s a really cosy small bar. I love those.
But they had a good beer selection. They had sour beer which i’ve been having trouble finding even in NYC. They had it!
I imagine this is a neighbourhood bar. We were here on a Saturday early evening. Only about 4 people in there. But usually small bars like this are filled with people who know each other from this neighbourhood. Would be a great place I think to meet people if you were new to the area. I’m guessing!

This is THE best upper west side bar! Bartenders are fantastic, they provide a level of service one would expect in a much higher cost establishment. One bartender, Jenny (You go Jenny!), was simply the best. If Kitsch is cool, this place is the coolest.
I’m coming back with friends in numbers.
Thanks Dive!

Decent beer selection. Such a rude bartender. What a contrast to the Amsterdam and 96 location where the beer was even better and the staff treated us like we hadn’t just gotten out of prison.

One of the coziest bars I’ve been to. Great for grabbing some beers with a few friends. Very small, so not ideal for larger groups or for a particularly rowdy night, but the perfect casual drinking spot with a very neighborhood feel. They also have a great selection of ciders in one of their small refrigerators in the back! Been here a few times and really enjoy the ambiance.

An interesting mix of a bar and beer store. Walking in, it seems like a divey, old fashioned bar, but instead offers a craft beer selection on tap and is surrounded by beer fridges. The beers are for both to go or for stay (with corkage fee).
The beer selection is not only the the few fridges at the entrance, but actually all over, in the back, the side, by the bar, etc. The selection is diverse and prices are great. I recommend it especially since you can mix and match beers instead of having to buy a full 4 – 6 pack of a single beer.
The craft beer selection is good, with a decent amount of locals. They do growler fills of whatever is on tap.
On a Sunday afternoon, the bartender was swamped. She was the only person working. She was bartending, scanning beer for to go, and preparing bar food in the kitchen. The bar clearly needed more staff. However, she was a kind about the wait and working as fast as she could.

This bar is a great cozy place for casual drinking. Friendly bartenders, with great specials. Not a place for bigger groups but a great bar for conversations and they have a lot on the walls so help start them!

its been a long nite and long time since 22
after being treated and toured by my brother and his gfriend at a hoighty korean joint and overpriced drinks in gramercy i popped in here to close out the evening
surprised /​impressed by the beer selection and the place was cozy and comfortable like a n’hood bar should be
besides the corner packie it seemed like the only thing open on the block that saturday nite at 1am for the city that never sleeps

Amazing beer selection. I come in there when I feel adventurous, and come out of there a fan of a beer I haven’t tried before. Be careful with the bottles, as they aren’t priced and you can run up a serious tab if you’re not careful.

I happened across the bar while exploring the UWS with my friend. I liked it a lot! The atmosphere is mellow and the drinks are well-​priced.
I was able to find an awesome local beer that tasted delicious. Coming from one of the beer capitals in the U.S., I was impressed.

I’m not sure (nor do I care really) if this place is a true dive, but they do have an unexpectedly vast selection of bottled beer. It’s extremely narrow and can be hard to maneuver around, and the crowd is, well, what you’d expect in the UWS, but the bartenders are generally attentive and kind enough.
The biggest pain in the ass about the bar is that none of the bottles are priced, so it means you either have to spend several minutes thumbing through their menu online to check the price of each beer or just be hit with the surprise when you go to be rung up. Please fix this, Broadway Dive.
I never stick around because of the corkage fee/​crowd, but after work this is a good place to pick up something yummy and head back to Brooklyn.

Nice bar. It’s not quite disgusting enough to be a dive bar, but the drinks are relatively affordable — an eclectic selection of pints as cheap as $ 6 or $ 5 if you are happy with PBR. You can take home bottles and growlers which is a nice touch, but I rarely avail of such things (buying 6 packs tends to be more economic per fl. oz than filling a growler.) They have good looking food and $ 6 beer-​shot combos. (The beer of choice was racer 5 when I went, good deal, and the shot? Weird moonshine /​flavored vodka stuff. Egh, but hey, it’s basically a free shot.)
It has a neighborhood feel and you’ll often find the patrons are regulars who talk to each other, which I always love about bars that don’t have that stupid «I’m here to be seen with my friends» vibe.
All things being equal, this bar can’t displace Lion’s Head Tavern from that special place in my heart. (It’s closer to me to boot.) I love that dang place.

This place is just adorable (in a divey way, of course). Christmas lights, a bathroom that smells like piss, strong drinks, a DJ on a balcony that you can shout your classic rock requests too– what more could a girl ask for? I was served by Chris and Shira till closing who were both extremely kind and friendly (not to mention patient with the drunkards).
The space is small but not cramped, especially for the area. I came in a Saturday night after midnight and I had no trouble getting a seat at the bar.

I discovered this bar one day while my girlfriend was shopping in the neighborhood and I had a good experience so I added it to my list of bars to return to. My brother recently visited from VA so I took him, my girlfriend, and her sister to this spot.
I’d give the divey appearance and feel of the bar a pretty high score, maybe even a 5. There is a small upstairs area and when my brother and I went up to explore there was a strange couple making out on the couch up there.
The bartender was a tall blonde woman, with an accent, maybe Russian or Polish, I couldn’t quite figure it out. The service was fine, I wouldn’t say she was rude but she was a bit short and had no clue which beer I was ordering even though I was reading it right off the menu. I did ask her to surprise me with a beer and she picked a good one.
I don’t think they serve real food, but they do sell hotdogs and pickles and stuff like that. They also take credit card, which is a plus. Prices were pretty good, craft pints running around $ 6 and some nicer ones were a bit more. Can’t complain, in midown any pint of cheap lager will cost $ 6 anyway.
Overall I’d say 3.5 stars but I’ll round it up to 4. I’d come back.

Couple of caution:
— This is not a food serving restaurant so if you want «real» food, then please eat something before you come
— They are mainly a beer bar with some cocktails of their own so don’t ask for something elaborately designed specialty cocktails
— The place is small so I would not recommend more than 4 people group
Having said that, it’s my small getaway from the crowded city bars packed with young kids who think that they know what being a New Yorker is all about. I like this place for the coziness, comfort and convenience of being in the local neighborhood where I don’t have to shell out $$$$$ to get drinks.
There are plenty of TV in the bar so that you can watch the game with your core friends while drinking beer, eating hot dogs and chips. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that they do have food but it’s literally bar food at basic minimum.
Hot dogs
Pickles
Chips and Humus
I believe that they have a stage on the corner 2^nd floor of the bar and open mic on wednesdays. I might perform. hahaha. You never know.

Shoot. This place is amazing. It probably shouldn’t be, but dammit it is.
One of the top selling points for me? The multiple refrigerators at the front of the store filled to the brim with craft beers and hard ciders. Either enjoy your share at the bar, or take bottles to go. WHAT? Am I at Whole Foods at Columbus Circle? Fancy dancy, I say!
But, in all quasi-​seriousness, I was floored by the ciders they had. There were multiple varieties of Doc’s Hard Cider, Naked Flock, Bad Seed, and my newest favorite, Stella Cidre. The take home prices are substantially cheaper than the in-​house prices; take home a 22 oz. bottle of Naked Flock for about $ 8 bucks, but expect to pay $ 14 to drink in-​house. Still, that breaks down to $ 7 for a glass of cider, which is in and around what I’d pay at a bar if I had it from the draught. Myeh. it’s all good!
The beau and I split a bottle of the aforementioned cider while enjoying the Christmas lights, hanging bicycles, and hanging hammerhead sharks surrounding us.
I’m in love.
