Pretty good and consistent music. The bartender was really nice, suggesting drinks and making conversation. Nice selection of beers too.

Always had a good time at Thunder Jacksons but it’s just another college bar, nothing to be very excited about. The well drinks aren’t too expensive but depending on your bartender you’re either getting a watered down drink or one that’s way too strong. They have more seating available until the evening after which they clear out a few tables and make additional standing room. This place does get pretty packed and loud from Thursday through the weekend so if that’s not your scene make sure you steer clear. Overall, if you’re bar hopping in the area it’s not a bad stop to make.

I come by here on Tuesdays. So not judging the other nights. Chill and relaxed bar with friendly bar staff and if you meet the owner he is super cool and down to earth. Cheap beer, $ 2 tacos on Tuesday nights. Kitchen closes by 11:30pm-12am I believe. They also have comedy going on on Tuesday nights where comedians work out their stuff and makes the night memorable. If you are not into that the bar is spacious enough that you don’t have to be a part of it. They also have TVs for sports by the bar. I always have a great time here. Not sure why the low reviews from some or what they were expecting. It is simple, you come here to get cheap drinks, mingle with friends, and take advantage of food specials. It does get crowded on weekends.

I never started my night here, but I certainly have ended them. Why? Because this a bar with a relaxed atmosphere, comfort food, and solid beer. Taco in a bag, I’m looking at you. The prices are reasonable for Manhattan, although I would not say they are exactly cheap. Really the biggest attraction for me is the atmosphere; my friends know we can roll in and just be ourselves. That’s all we need.

This is the type of place you go to if you have NO where better to go. It’s always busy and has a fun vibe in the middle of the West Village, but you can tell everyone is on the same page of only going because there’s nothing better. It’s the type of place you go to that you catch yourself saying«ughhh why are we here…» I think the drinks are watered down, there is ALWAYS a fight, the music is wayyyyy too loud and they only play shity top 40 music that is old. It’s dirty with beer spilled everywhere… I can’t with this place… but I’m sure it will never go away.

I feel like this bar is a very frat, bro bar that doesn’t really jive well with the neighborhood. The big school nearby is NYU where a sports program and school spirit barely exist. We went one night on a thirsty thursday and there were seats and it wasnt too packed. Our bartender was a sweetheart and got our drinks very quickly. I ordered 2 sangrias that are only $ 5 on thursday nights for the ladies night event that they have. I would only go back cause our bartender was nice, that’s it.

I haven’t been here in a while but came here for a friend’s pseudo bday after party. Still a cool place but the bartenders(I’m looking at you malnutritioned eastern European girls) have an attitude problem AND they tacked on an extra drink that I didin’t order! WTF? I dont know if their boss tells them to do that… to assume that customers are beyond shitfaced when they close their tabs that they dont look at the receipt. So check your receipts!!!

Drinks are watery. Food was cold. Came here with 6 people waited for a table with no hostess(aka breathed down people’s necks until they left) burger was NOTHING just patty and bun. Pulled pork had no BBQ sauce. Didn’t tell us they were out of fish until everyone’s food came beside 1 person. Nacho cheese was cold and hard it was a disaster don’t waste your money.

Amazing bar! Really fun and laid back. Happy hour specials are amazing. I’m from California, so trust me when I say their guacamole is FANTASTIC! We came on a Sunday and it wasn’t too busy. The owner, Thomas, was a great person and such a cool host. If you’re looking for good drink deals and great customer service… this is 100% your bar!

Looooove Thunder Jackson’s! It’s that spot that offers what not every other place in NYC has to offer which is that it’s a normal place. It’s a actual bar! Normal beers, normal shots! And the music rocks! I usually come here on Sunday’s, Dan is awesome! He’s super cool and really only drop in to see him. The filthy burger rocks, and the filthy fries are my go to. My friends love punching the punching bag too, so much fun. Will deff keep coming back.

I don’t remember much about this bar because I was really drunk when I went in. I only know I was there because I checked in on Facebook to let everyone know I was having a better time than they were. I’m assuming that they have beer and liquor because I certainly wasn’t sober when I left. Any bar with beer and liquor gets 4 stars in my book.

Unless you are really into the 80s, this place is OK, but ultimately forgettable. I had a burger which came served on a wire-mesh tray barely lined with a thin sheet of wax paper. As you can imagine, the grease/crumbs pretty much got all over the table. This is also probably why the table was in the condition it was to begin with. The burger was served to me practically well done, though I had asked for medium. The prices are good, but the service was slow which was odd since we were 2 of 6 people in the place. They had some tempting happy hour specials, but alas I had to drive.

If you are searching for the absolute worst bar in New York, I’ve found it for you. Avoid this place at all costs unless you want to be treated horribly by girls who try to pick fights with the patrons over nothing, while successfully looking like they just hit the BOGO at Strawberry after being kicked out of rehab. I hope the ability to pour a drink and awareness of the fact that they work in customer service slaps them across their despicably frowning faces. Then maybe it would be deserving of anyone’s money. What a waste of real estate.

Was excited to drink beer out of the boot until we were told it was 35 $. Um no thank you. The bar was also very grimy, sticky, and dead. Do yourself a favor and go to another bar cause that area is surrounded by better bars with reasonable pricing. Blegh

This place has everything you would need in a bar; A good bartender who is knowledge of drinks and can maneuver around the bar well. She was sweet and quick. I didn’t try to fuss with mixed drinks, I had some Blue Moon on tap and drank that the whole night. Nothing out of the ordinary to complain about. Food that was coming out looked presentable, I didnt order anything as far as food, but they had wings, and small tacos like any other place. I wouldn’t make the trip all the way out here just for this place though. I came here originally for a UYE, and we were in standing room most of the time.

A fairly decent dive bar in the NYU area. Can’t beat those prices! Went in for a pint and even though a Sam Adams cost $ 6.50, I wasn’t all that surprised being in Manhattan. I usually like dive bars and such dingy places. I’m giving it a 3 star rating is because of it’s cleanliness. The bathrooms were not cleaned and the place looked a little unhygienic. You can have a dive bar and still look neat and clean. For me, that’s a good reference point. Not to take away from the barkeeps and the servers. Everyone was really nice and kind and were very efficient with their service.

$ 2 tacos. Beer. $ 2 tacos. Beer. A punching bag machine. Ate $ 2 tacos here while drinking more beer on an epic bar crawl the other night. Kind of divey. Friendly waitress. Cheapish beer prices. Ok beer list. Music is kinda meh. I felt like I was reliving my college days when flat broke and had to scrounge up enough change to eat at the local joint all us broke asses went to on a Tuesday night. Somewhere along the way fireball shots were also had. $ 2 hard shell tacos and beer. That’s all you really need to know. You never really plan on coming to a spot like Thunder Jackson’s. You just kind of end up here somehow.
