Flow Bar

Who said the dive was dead in the Financial District? Thank zombie Jesus for this place, as it may be the last shady haven for folks who want a dark place to sit and drink with their friends undisturbed. Yesterday’s happy hour was at the behest of one of my law school buddies, who was able to gather a quartet of us legal eagles to have generously priced libations downtown. What was even more impressive than getting this group of litigators together was trying to find a spot with good drink deals BUT without having to stomach the douche-​baggery that can be found infecting every crevasse of every bar down in the FiDi.
Luckily, this place is around (and just around the block from my office). Plenty of questions surrounded this place prior to our visit: Where was it? What are the happy hour deals and times? Is it cash only? Do they serve food? Well, as far as the latter two questions are concerned, the answers are no and kinda (but not really), respectively.
The spot itself is relatively small, but despite the lack of real estate the actual bar takes up, it’s more than enough room for the patrons in attendance (seeing as how there aren’t too many of those); totally cool with me, as the music selection, which cuts on and off sporadically, provides more than enough background noise (for those of you who don’t like to drink in too quiet of an environment).
Drink deals run from 4 – 7 (if I remember correctly), and come in the form of a buy one get one free type deal. Works for me, as my two g&ts ran $ 12. And the bar maid read my mind (knew I was super hungry) and gave our group some complimentary pretzels. Well done.
I foresee in my future many more trips to this spot.

I was in new york last week when an attorney I was supposed to meet with had to cancel. I decided to just ride the subway and find bars at each stop until I got to Brooklyn. I found this gem after I stopped by to see the Federal Reserve Building because they had a happy hour sign out front. I walked down to the sushi restaurant and tucked behind a big curtain was the bar. The bartender was great. The drinks were above average (they were short on some of the vodkas I like). And I had a great time (of course by this point I was pretty drunk and everyone was my best friend). Very fun and relaxed place.

If you haven’t visited this bar, you are definitely missing out! The drinks are awesome and inexpensive! They also have comedy, live Dj, and a great atmosphere! The owner Sammy also is a great guy and if you are not a big drinker he also owns the barber shop around the corner from the bar! He’ll keep you looking fresh and well entertained! Go check them out!

A true NYC dive bar two blocks from Wall Street. I’ve been working in this hood for years and have always been lamenting about the lack of dive bars in this area. And then I found this place. Come for the atmosphere. If you don’t like it, go back to Stone Street.
