    Bar None is a great, dive bar in the East Village. I've come here for pub crawls, happy hour specials, and just for fun on weekends. The vibe is great, the bartenders are super friendly, and the crowd is always interesting. They have a great variety on drinks, a good selection of beers on tap, and their classic "Snowball" frozen booze slushie that I get every time. Sometimes the bar crawls get a little too packed making it near impossible to get to the bar to order, but this is expected for popular events, just bring your patience! If you're looking for a fun but casual night out in the East Village, definitely stop by. You won't be disappointed!

    We came here because my boyfriend is a Saint's fan. The BACK of the bar is a Saints bar, but the front is a Vikings bar (why???). There are no seats in the Saints section so most people just stood. There is a projection TV and the image was all fuzzy and choppy. I spent most of my time in the front watching the Patriots game and sitting. Waitress was slow to come around to the back so I would suggest ordering a lot the first round. Very young crowd. Some guy was trying to skateboard, drunk, indoors. And almost fell in my lap. I'm definitely getting old because it annoyed me almost as much as Jimmy Garoppolo did.

    A basic dive bar with embarrassingly weak specialty cocktails and a small beer selection. Originally came here to pre-game with a few friends, but ended up going elsewhere after two drinks because the vibes were not welcoming nor fun. I suppose one could start their night here, but definitely not somewhere to stay.

    It was a brisk summer day and I had just recently found out my childhood dog died. I was a bit more than distraught as I aimlessly walked down the road. A clever chalkboard sign in front of the bar beckoned me inside. It was early, so I was the only patron, but I was greeted by a gorgeous blue haired bartender. Every sip of the delicious drinks paired perfectly with the clever conversation we had. When I was at my lowest, an honest, hard working woman melted my worries away with simple compassion, quick wit, and quicker pours. This is now one of my favorite bars on the planet, and any planet, for that matter. If you haven't been here, definitely check it out.

    This place is one of the busiest dive bars I have ever been to on peak nights. I've been here both on a friday/saturday night as well as a Wednesday evening- so I can speak to both. There is literally nothing special about this place- nothing says "I HAVE TO COME BACK TO PLACE" Sometimes this place is fun but sometimes its a total shit-show. Just depends on the night you come. When it's packed it gets super hot in the place (they have a back room for dancing with a live DJ.. the music is top 40 stuff and its pretty par for the course, get what you pay for...) Frozen drinks are stupid strong. They have good happy hour deals and drink prices are pretty fair. You can easily come here with a group of friends or even fly solo.. The energy here is never lacking but remember it's a dive- not a high-class place. As long as you don't set your expectations too high you might enjoy this place. (Mens bathroom is sooooo tight) Coat check in the back room for like 3$. They have an atm inside the bar.

    If I could give negative stars, I would. This is literally the shittiest, grossest, most ratchet bar I've ever been to. The staff, including management is extremely rude and anytime I've ever been in here, it always smells like shit....legit. This place is so disgusting on so many different levels.

    Great Bartenders, decent prices, great happy hours. This place was great to visit when I need a quick place to grab a drink. Its usually a mixed crowed with great music in the back.

  • Arya B.

    Three stars is accurate, but I might be biased as I am not a big fan of dive bars anymore. It has a bar and dance floor. Cocktails at $6 are great, nice people. But certainly not classy, super fun or especial in any way.

  • Stefanie D.

    My fiance and I stopped in randomly while I waited for my brother to get out of work. It was around 5pm on a Tuesday so it was empty but the bartender was friendly and the drinks were great! They have different drink specials every day, even on the weekends.

  • Regina S.

    NO FISH BOWLS! Main reason for giving this place a try and none! Smh Plus bartenders took FOREVER to service us! Stapling receipts instead of saying give me a sec! The blue headed bartender saved us. Reason for the 2 stars

  • Austin H.

    I enjoy coming to this bar but they need to stop selling fake jack Daniels it doesn't even taste close to it..I guess that's how they make a little extra money on the low or somthing but it's wrong trying to get over on drunk people not all are dumb

  • Kelle C.

    The dive-y-est of divebars. Every surface is sticky, it's dark like nighttime before the sun goes down, and the bathrooms are best reserved for the very brave or the very desperate. Nevertheless, I always have fun here. It's a "live and let live" type of atmosphere. No tableservice, don't ask for special favors from the bartenders, but the service is polite and drinks are good. No kitchen, bring in food from one of the many places along 3rd ave and hang out a while.

    Came here to watch a music showcase. It was super dope. Although I am aware of Bar None being a small bar, My only issue was the lack of seating available! My advice to anyone who comes here to see a performance is to get there early so you can find a decent place to sit. I don't know who was DJing that night, but the music fluctuated between being decent and just 'okay'..The bartender/waitress who came around to ask us if we wanted drinks was very nice! Forgot her name :( The drinks were cool. $5 for a screwdriver & $12 for a Long Island iced tea...(ask them to be easy on the ice, because it will water down your drink)..overall, the atmosphere was super chill. This is a nice bar to meet up with a friend and to also socialize.

  • Sim L.

    One of my friends loves coming here and I can't say the place is bad at all. The music is always good and the drinks are cheap, which is a good combination. There isn't a large selection of beers but they do have pitchers. I've also been here to see some basketball games, and there was plenty of seats. Even though they don't have food here, you can bring food or have some delivered. I especially loved the tacos from Five Napkin. So there's a front portion with the bar and tables then there's a back portion for the main dance floor. You'll see people dancing around everywhere though. This place would be really fine if it wasn't so...trashy though. The bathroom is dilapidated, some tables look dirty, and women just walk up and grope you (even if they're married). Well, maybe that's not a major issue. This place attracts pretty cool degenerates though. There's usually some shenanigans to get into here too, or you can stay to yourself if that's your personality.

    This place hasn't changed since I was 16 years old. Thank God for that. I don't know why I go into this place anymore, perhaps it's nostalgia, perhaps it's because it's genuine and dependable. Sure I feel way too old but when I'm in the neighborhood I know I can go in there and get 400 beers for what I pay for two cocktails on the other side of town. Don't ever change, Bar None, but please, clean the bathroom.

    Homophobic bar!!! Holy shit I'm really shaken from my experience here tonight. I've never written a Yelp review before but I feel compelled to do so now. I'm gay and this bar tried to throw me out for having my arm around my date. First, the bouncer seemed to be following us around the bar and told us we couldn't be in the back room. Okay, fair enough. we went back to our seats. He keeps looking at us.... At one point I kind of had my legs on top of my man's (it was 3am on a Thursday, the place was pretty empty, nobody but this bouncer guy even noticed!) and he yelled at me to stop. Okay, fine, we were being a little bit obnoxious, I stopped. A few minutes, later I had my arm around him..... the guy comes over and loudly yells again to stop, saying that we can't do that and we have to leave. (This at a bar whose men's bathroom stalls don't even have locks on them!!!! Not exactly Le Cirque.) I stood up to him and said he'd never be saying that (and would probably be high fiving me) were I with a girl. He told us we had to leave, I said I want to speak to the manager. He said "He'll tell you the same thing. You gotta go!". All the customers nearby were shocked and were even apologizing to us. I went to the bartender, he initially said to calm down or we'll be thrown out. Afterwards, he (the bartender) was very nice, (he walked the bouncer outside and defused things) however..... I felt he definitely had a "some of my best friends are gay" attitude. He told us we should go to a gay bar, that there's one on 45th "near The Lion King"... cause we homos love musicals, right? (Also, go to a gay bar? Yeah, just what I want on a date with someone I really like..... competition!) and then told us that the world is changing and some people don't accept that, and you have to understand instead of "going to war" (Ha, uh, I disagree... I think if people didn't go to war over their principals, bars like this would still have "Whites Only" signs on them.) I'm 25 years old, I've been living in NYC my entire life... I have NEVER in my life had an experience like this, nor one in which I felt legitimately discriminated against in such an overt way. This was particularly shocking since we're both pretty conservative guys... We weren't even kissing!!! Suffice to say, I won't be going back here and recommend none of my fellow homos to ever go here!

    Darryl the security guard makes this a terrible place. He just tried to push me and my friends when we were trying to get drinks.

    This place is more so for people looking to get laid. Just being honest. The music is good, but the drinks are weak. I ordered a drink off of the regular menu and then decided to get two more from the "Strong Ass Drinks" menu. All 3 barely did anything. I'm pretty sure they water down the drinks. The women's bathroom is tiny and only has 3 stalls. it was pretty gross in there and the stalls began running out of tissue by the end of the night. Overall, I would only come back purely out of boredom or if my friends and I are in the area and have no other options. But if you're single, in your 20s, looking for a "good time", and don't care about the cleanliness of a place, this would probably be the place you'd end up.

  • Evgeni F.

    For a dive bar its not bad at all. The front part is where the pretty cheap drinks are at that taste decent for a type of a place this is. The bartenders were serious but nice and pretty quick. The music was ok, too much lame mainstream.. no Kendrick lamar or anything beast like that. The crowd is not trashy as I thought it would be, some girls were though but were pretentious about it. If you want to get messed up and dance like you dgaf then this is your place.

  • Emmy J.

    Terrible. Do NOT come here. Safety reasons. Someone stole my debit card, and this chubby Hispanic male tried to feel between my legs when I told him to stop. The bouncer blamed me and said "hey, it's new york" and told my male friend to "take me home" wtf. What a shit show. Someone there also took it and tried to make charges, but got denied. Shady place. Do NOT go here.

    Finna be the new happy hour spot! Cool dive bar with a great happy hour($3 wells drinks and some beers), every time i go I've had a nice and attentive bartender. The music selection is actually pretty decent, the bathroom are small and dingy, but it's a dive bar, you can't expect much. I've been on a monday night during happy hour and it was dead, but still fun and I've been on a friday night during happy hour and the bar was full, but the tables weren't.

    Total dive but it is what it is. so it is, so ok. Some rude ass bartenders who actually pull up a chair and just talk to friends all night.

  • Dave H.

    Bar None is a bar you want to be a regular at. You're not here for pretentious cocktails, you're here to drink hard. Or at least catch the latest game with a crowd. If sports isn't your thing, stick to their cheap drinks (they take credit!) or karaoke in the back. Yes, karaoke. I'm hard-pressed to call this place an actual drive, as it's fairly clean. Bonus points to Bar None for having cool staff, including a non-douchey bouncer.

  • Samantha V.

    Cute, little place to have some drinks and listen to some music with friends. Drinks are fair priced. There's karaoke in the back, feel free to show off your talent after a few drinks if you're too shy sober.

    Was a regular here for years and will always consider it a great little dive. Don't show up expecting high end atmosphere or fancy cocktails... this is a beer and shots type of place and I wouldn't have it any other way. Great bartenders and bouncers.

  • Jade M.

    It seems like bar none is getting better with time. This is my go to after a pregame at continental. The last time we went on the second Saturday in august there was a man outside passing out two for one fliers for drinks which was awesome, I got a mango something it was sweet, refreshing, had alcohol and I had two! Happy camper I thought I was until we went to the back and entered the best dj set they have ever had there, idk what was happening but it was nothing but hip hop and reggae. We danced A LOT and we even partook in the photo booth.

    This place has gotten downright disgusting. Was just there this past Saturday after 2-3yrs and will definitely not be returning. It stunk, the floor was sticky, there were men fingering their lady friends, & the back was completely ratchet to sum it all up. Bar Rescue please help them!

    They have booze. They have restrooms. The trash factor is high. Seems like a lot of young immature college kids. The ambience isn't my style

  • Dawn A.

    It is a hit or miss with this spot but when it is a hit its great, love dancing having a great time. $3 shots giving out by this lady walking with them in neon tubes and last night got handed a paper it was buy any drink get one free so I got a Long Island Iced Tea and got one free. It was great, music always good and every time ive been there for the most part its been great, no complaints.

  • Eugene K.

    Not much has changed for the better in this armpit of hell on Third Ave. If you were curious from where that stench of stale liquor was emanating look no further than Bar None. The bar is divided into two areas, the front with its sticky floor and teenagers swaying to the latest Miley Cyrus has to offer, and the back where you will be forced to coat check and listen to even more Miley Cyrus. Don't forget to tip the red-haired bartender her one dollar, or she will eat your heart and snack on your soul. Her profanity laced tirade coupled with her bipolar customer service makes other bartenders with bad attitudes seem like angels. She's the perfect accessory to the great ambiance of this bar. If you want to punish someone, tell them to come to Bar None for a beer.

  • Tara P.

    Bar None. Definitely a dive bar, but I was diggin' it. Cheap drinks (a little on the weak side) and cheap beer. It's at a great little spot in the Village with cozy booths, and lots of space. I heard about their infamous fish bowls, but they weren't there! That was a disappointment. The crowd wasn't over the top (mind you, I didn't get there until 3 am :-X), but just enough to make some dancing friends and have a fun end to my evening! The music was great! Anytime I had a request, DJ Paid would literally play it next on his set list. Overall, good experience and I will be back!

  • Sara S.

    Bar None is not my preferred type of bar, but we came here to kill some time while waiting on a seat at Han Dynasty next door. Some positives is that they have very cheap drinks and daily happy hour specials. It's a typical and common sports bar, more or less divey. It's quite small, but they have a spacious game room towards the back. The Thursday night we were here was Trivia Night along with the fact there was a football game on. The audience was much more boisterous and loud than any typical night I suppose. The crowd is very mixed, both young and old. There were no seats available at our time of arrival, though the bar waitress was nice enough to grab chairs for us when they were free. The beers are very cheap here, about $4 a pint for domestics like Bud, Coors, Stella, Yuengling, etc. They also have cheap pitchers. Note that Wednesdays is Ladie's Night. If you like Pinnacle Vodka, they have literally shelves of it at the bar; one of the nights is Pinnacle Vodka specials night. Along the walls are chalkboards displaying the daily happy hour specials. I didn't participate in trivia that evening, but it certainly drew a very rowdy, energetic crowd. The DJ was all right, but the music wasn't all that great. There is no place to dance though, except for maybe the back game room. In general, this is a very typical sports bar, but it retains a certain vibe that may or may not appeal to everyone. If you are okay with loud, crowded bars with cheap drinks, or if you just need to pass time somewhere, then you won't mind Bar None too much.

  • Shameer L.

    I went here 3 times this place is awesome! Sometimes drunk people get out of hand but the music is usually jumping great crowd. Me and friends always have a good time here. The $4 jolly rancher shots are awesome! You will surely leave there twisted and happy! I would def come back again lol probably sooner than later!!!! The dance floor in the back is awesome too!

    Drinks (well and mixer) were $3. It's a happy hour bargain. They had soccer on TV.

  • Matthew K.

    Bar None is one of the obvious go-to's for those who want to drop in and catch a glimpse of a game around East Village. As far as I've experienced, the carding and drink requirement process is not as stringent as other places. I mostly come here to catch a good game after finishing a meal in the area, though it's a decent place to saddle up at the bar and grab a quick drink. Very loud though, and not great for substantive or extended conversation.

    (3)

  • Sergey T.

    Came with a friend on a Sunday evening, the drink specials were good but the bartender was ridiculously rude and refused to answer any questions that my friend had about some of the deals for the day. He stated that we "don't get to ask questions if we just pay for the beer." - We were sitting bar side and typically tip after we're done for the night rather than every drink, especially if the place seems relatively quiet and the bartender is friendly. I've never seen a bartender being so rude and unprofessional in my life. Hell I've bartended before and wouldn't act this way even if a patron didn't intend to tip me at all. Needless to say we left shortly after our first round without tipping, the next time I'm in the St. Marks area this bar will be the last on my list to go to or recommend to friends.

    (1)

  • Kristiana S.

    A dive bar not far from St.Marks and Union Square- its a good place to get an evening started but not necessarily a place to stay. They have drink specials all night. My favorite is the 3 for $22 car bombs, lunchbox and Dr. Pepper bombs. If you want to get buzzed quick before beginning your night, this is a good place to have a few drinks and leave because it doesn't usually get too exciting and is in general a pretty average dive bar.

    (3)

  • Juanita H.

    Bar None was the best bar I've been to! Drinks were cheap, the music was great & beside one jerk trying to instigate I had a great time. I was with some great people & that's the most fun I've had in forever. I'm definitely going to try and incorporate it in my Friday night schedule!

    (4)

  • Chelsea B.

    I'll never be back here. Paid for a wristband to get discounted drinks and the bartender pours me full priced drinks. The whole thing was pretty much pointless. The manager wouldn't give me a refund and the beers I wanted. He pours me 3 shots. Naturally I assume 1 for each of my friends and me.. NOPE. I passed them to my 2 friends and he grabs the 3rd and drinks it. Are you kidding me?! He said I shouldn't have given them to my friends... got screwed out of money and drinks. Ridiculous.

    (1)

  • Grace W.

    The first time I came here, I had their fishbowl. LOVED IT! But since then, a few months later, I guess they stopped making it??!! It's an ok place to drink with friends, just depends on what atmosphere youre looking for. Loud music, not very many seats. I personally only came back because I thought they still had fishbowls, now that I know.. well, it's up in the air.

    (3)

  • Nicole E.

    I hate this bar. I don't know why I came twice. Pretty sure the second time was cause my friend and I were freezing and couldn't find anywhere else to go. Beer is cheap but this bar is filled with bros and assholes. Loud. So many underage NYU kids. The Thursday night that I went, I overheard a conversation from a college kid bragging about how he always comes here because they never check the fake ID's. Classy. Oh yeah there's a pool table in the back.

    (1)

  • Annamarie T.

    With a mix Massive Fish Bowls and Good Music need I say more, just add some friends and your in for a good time. Definitely worth checking out, went for the first time last night and I will be going back for some more fun.

    Get to the Chase: Pros: 1) Cheap drinks by the pitcher...if you like beer-flavored water 2) If you're a big NBA/NFL fan i guess you'd like it since everywhere you turn there will be TV's Cons: 1) Lets just say I may be biased since I tend to stray away from the bar scene....but i thought I might give it a shot...terrible idea...Packed with slobby, unattractive belligerents 2) Want to relive a college bar scene go here...you'll have beer spilt on you...drunk girls trying to stand on tables in an area that can barely fit 15 people 3) Unintelligent (I say this politcally) hoodrats who dress like they're going to a club but are at a bar. A place where the lads wear t-shirts, jerseys and/or baseball caps, and these lassies expect to have their 2 ft radius of personal space...um ya right it's soo packed you can barely move an inch and when a shoulder brushed passed them they say "EXCUSE ME! Can you not push"....I tell you the nerve of some of these girls...at least the guys get it and won't punch each other for brushing shoulders.

  • Bloss C.

    Pros: Good dive sports bar with cheap drinks and the bar tenders do buy backs. Also, large back room for parties. Cons: Bouncers start off friendly but once the sun goes down so does their friendliness. Also, one of the worst bar bathrooms I've been in. I imagine the bathrooms in jail are nicer.

  • Christina S.

    Stopped in here for a shot with my friends while we were on our way home from brunch. If you can get past the toilet smell and the aggressive bar tenders asking for your ID the second you walk in then -- kudos to you. We order various shots, 3 tequila, 2 soco, and 1 lemon drop shot--the bar tender was kinda pissed that we ordered so many different ones. Shots were shitty. just avoid this place all together. If you wanna spend $50 go elsewhere.

  • Jenny S.

    HAPPY HOUR WELL DRINKS FOR $3, time to get my usual cranberry vodka!!! this is another one of those dive bars of east village, but one w/ a TV that sports games.. so don't be surprised if you see a group of people huddled outside the large window... screaming at the game! it wasn't crowded inside when we came, but of course it was a weekday!! HORRAY FOR HH.. at a trade-off, its really dark & drab in here for day drinking besides the bar, there weren't too many tables to sit at.. but there's a large empty floor (probably for dancing at night)

  • Paul R.

    Divey shot and a beer kind of place

    (3)

  • Alex S.

    Grungy? Yeah. Cheap? Hells yeah. Rules? Not really. Awesome? Pretty much. The specials in this place are aimed at forgetting your name. 3 car bombs for $21. A shot and a can of Bud for $6. Kinda reminds me of Brooklyn. Pro tip: Blue 9 burger is 2 doors down. Grab a double with cheese and some fries, come back, and munch down in the bar while you yell profanity at whatever game is on the screen.

  • Brian M.

    ... whuuut? So this is weird. I popped in here with a friend on Saturday early-evening after seeing a movie (The Master - stunning cinematography, but that's about it). We had an awesome time. Imagine my surprise then, when I come on here to see the paltry 2.5 star overall review. We had a blast. It was just the two of us (and everyone else in the bar), and I found the bartenders as friendly as we were to them (one bartender even gave me TWO samples - a taste test - of the Kona/Hawiian beers. No, I didn't ask him to, I only inquired about Kona.). The Happy Hour is more than generous - just about everything is $4 or less and the hours of Happy Hour pricing are - I recall - 3pm till 8pm. Also, the place is HUGE, with ample seating throughout. Shocking for this part of town. Skimming the other reviews on here, it seems a big chunk of the disdain for the place comes from some of the 'undesirables' that were there at the time the reviewers were: frat boys, cheesy ladies, loud people. Look ... it is dive, and dives often attract different sorts. This really wasn't my experience though. (Okay, so there was this one bizarro guy who had these large steel clips on his shirt who would just STARE at you till you looked his way, and then he'd say "hi" ... but that was about it.) Ultimately, I think it's a bit unfair to judge a venue based on some members of the clientele. Yes, employees are a different story, but complaining about other bar goers at a dive? I just don't think it should be held against the place, especially if everything else is handled well. I loved it.

  • Julia L.

    Bar None is Bar None... I've been here a few times according to Yelp, but usually by the time I get here, I'm always a bit inebriated... oops. Last time I was here it was really awkward. All the tables were taken except for the big room in the back and so we went back there to hang out. There was no music and the music that was playing was making us sleepy. So my friends hopped in the DJ booth and started playing some music on their ipod.... not to say that this is okay I mean... yeah. haha, but the bartender came back and yelled at us.. oops... We thought it was just the back room, but apparently we were playing music with their music. Awkward turtle. So we decided to leave since the time there was turning into a dud. My friend went to go pay for the drinks and the bartender was annoyed with him and wouldn't even look at him, so he went behind the bar and tried to grab his card since it was already there and swiped, but the bartender pushed him out of the bar like literally pushed him... not to say that my friend was in the rights to go back there, but I don't think he should have been pushed... couldn't that be a battery charge? uhhhh... anyways, I'll probably come back and hopefully it won't be so awkward.. Enjoy!

    I'm giving this bar a 3. My Indian friend (sorry, Bangladesh) loves this place. But then again, he loves any bars, hookah places, or restaurants that appears 'personable and likable' to him, despite the shitty service or the quality of the drink/food. And this place is no different. The prices are rather expensive, there's nothing special about the atmosphere. I guess the bartenders are 'personable' since they're willing to talk to his ugly ass (or flirt, whatever it is) but it's a 3. Not a 4. Not a 2.

  • Allie C.

    College-bar type crowd, beer pong table in the back, DJ and dancefloor on weekends, sticky floors, beer specials, and games on TV. Nothing exceptional. Just that on Mondays, they spin the wheel every half hour and whatever it lands on, that beer is $3 until the next spin. I wouldn't say i love this place.

    I generally hate dive bars, Walked in here last night to see the following: fishbowls, a phone charging station, the Big Ass Book of Shots, And there was Rumpleminze. Epic night. Definitely going back. The bathroom stalls don't lock and that was the only complaint I had about my whole night.

    I got served FAKE Jameson in a regular jameson bottle....beware places that do this!!! Im pretty sure it is illegal and the bartender should know better. He wouldn't admit it (obviously) but did serve me a new shot from a different bottle so I'm pretty sure there's a scam going on here. I can tell the difference and almost threw up the shot!! I was also rudely told to look into a camera before going in so they could see my face on camera. That turned me off from the place, why do they need that? what goes on here? Anyway I wouldn't mind but I was told rudely that I better look at the camera. The crowd there is weird too. Just don't go there is my best advice.

    Remember when you were in college, and you went to really crappy bars because, hey - it's college!, and these guys may or may not let us in despite the fact that we're nowhere near 21, and that's where everyone is anyway so who cares if it's unmanageably loud and I can't hear anything... that'll just give me an excuse to get close enough to some chicks face so I can make out with her by accident. Why yes run-on sentence, I do. And that's why I steer clear of Bar None.

    I miss this place. Not because I'm unable to go to it, but because this used to be so much fun until about 6 or 7 months when they stopped allowing people to play beer pong. Before the ban, I'd come here about 75% of the time I made my way to the city as my pregame spot. Was able to grab a table easily, play a few games of pong with beer that was dirt cheap and hit the road. Apparently now the place claims that Bloomberg put some kind of ban on beer pong even though I can play in a bunch of other places. Without the beer pong, the place is mediocre. An okay dive bar with cheap drinks and a decent crowd. Nothing special about this place anymore.

    How do I explain this place? There's two rooms see, there's the first room when you walk in that looks like a trash can was emptied in a garage. But, if you walk further down a hallway you enter another room that looks like a monster defecated all over the floor and walls. I guess the cool hipster thing is to find a place that looks inhospitable to even the lowest life form and chug a filthy pbr. The problem with this place is during a free comedy show I witnessed a rat make a run for the door. If you want to see the aftershock of a chernobyl sized disaster, drink a beer in this above ground sewer system.

    I went with a group on a friday night. The place was so packed everyone had at least one drink spilled on them, mostly those being knocked off the balustrade down the center of the room. My big complaint is the overeager busboys. I set a half-empty drink down right next to me to dance and the next thing i knew it was gone. This happened to all my friends all night. Perhaps it's a ploy to get you to spend more. Also, I saw the bouncers yell at several people. I have mixed feelings about that because yes, the girls with the fakes were being annoying and pleading but do you really have to yell at them? On the upside, drinks were cheap enough especially thanks to some girl on the corner handing out two-for-one coupons. I had quite a few $5 rum and cokes. The bartender was efficient and attentive despite the huge crowd. Bottom line: I think this place would be better on a weeknight.

    OMG! This place has been the talk of Gossip Girl lately, getting a mention in not one, but 2 episodes. When you first walk into Bar None, it's hard to see what all the buzz is about. The place looks like an average dive bar. And it sort of is... It's been serving up fishbowls and hosting beer pong for many more years than I've been in the city and it definitely shows its age. But what this place lacks in sophistication, it makes up for in nostalgia and drink specials. Did I say drink specials?!? $9 pitchers and $6 for a "redneck picnic" (can of bud plus a shot of jack). Need I say more?!? Oh, and they have a pretty groovy trivia night on Thursdays where you can win $50 in free drinks. The questions don't seem as hard as some other pub quizzes in the village, but the host was funny and the music was bompin.

    This place can be a bit of a mixed bag of experience, it is certainly better to go with a group of friends unless it is insanely crowded. Sometimes it is amazing and everyone is dancing in the back and having a good time, sometimes it is dead. Thursday nights I have headed here in the past, but you never know what to expect. I have seen Mila Kunis here apparently Kieran Culkin lives down the block from the place. Underneath it all I like it, I am not sure why, it will forever remain a mystery diluted with a little alcohol.

    If you're looking for a good (sweaty) time, Bar None should be your first, and last, stop. The $3 Long Islands and potent fishbowls can get any night going. Every rose does have its thorn - the crowd tends to be underage and you need to be prepared for the scene (its definitely not meatpacking), but with the right attitude you will surely have a good time.

  • Kevin M.

    I don't know what it is about Bar None, but I like it. The drinks are fairly cheap and in the summer they have girls giving out coupons on the corner for a buy 1 get 1 free drink which I believe lasts from 8pm-2am. (Not sure if they give them out in the fall/winter time) The age range and crowd type does vary which in my opinion is a good thing. It is a college-like atmosphere and tends to get really crowded. (If that isn't your thing, I would avoid coming here.) On the weekends, the small room in the back turns into a dance floor. Coming here during the colder months isn't a bad idea either considering they have coat check for $3.

  • Monique B.

    Drinks are cheap, whiskey sours come with a cherry how I like. All kinds of wild people come here - Good wild and bad wild. Some creeps.. Mostly creeps but that's the same for anywhere... Bathrooms are NASTY AS ALL OF HELL - When I was there and had to go to the ladies room, I could barely even enter because some chick was barfing in the sink! If you plan to go out last minute, and really want to have a good time for the little effort you are putting in at such a short notice, go here. You'll have fun.

    I understand Bar None is a DIVE BAR. But, even dive bars have a certain standard, right? However, this is absolutely one of the most disgusting DIVE bars I have ever been to. Where should I begin... I don't even know! The crowd is your regular college, I'm a creep crowd and also thrown in the mix you have, I'm 35 and horny crowd. The back area of the bar has a huge space to dance, however it feels and smells like Florida in the middle of August, gross! I paid $5 for a vodka tonic, not so bad. My second trip to the bar I also paid $5, but this time the bar tender gave me an 8 oz plastic cup as opposed to my first 12 oz glass. Hmm, that was obnoxious. The music was fun, mostly hip hop ranging from early 90's to current mainstream. That was probably the only decent aspect about the bar. I get that this place literally has NOTHING to offer but a full bar, but it doesn't mean that it needs to be completely shameless. The fact that they actually charge $3 for coat check makes me sick. I get frustrated when there is a coat check charge anywhere. When I learned that Bar None was trying to charge me to check my coat, it pushed me over the edge. Never again will I come to this bar. This is the grimiest of bars I have been to in my life...and I've been to several in my lifetime. Ever hear of Sporty's in Southern California? That place gets 5 stars above this dump. NEVER AGAIN...!

    Can't really give Bar None a single-star rating because I didn't loathe it. On the other hand, there was nothing I particularly enjoyed about the frat house bar. Good amount of average-grade/sized flat screens, all types of frat house activities on the back, typically anonymous bartenders at helm, and all the domestic mass-produced beers your money can buy. Absolute antithesis of what I consider to be New York City experience.

  • Katherine W.

    We wandered in here after leaving the Village Pourhouse. No one ordered any drinks, because it was very late and I think that by then we'd had enough to drink for a group about twice as large. We went into the back and were dancing to songs that I've never heard but apparently everyone else had. There were booths along the walls back there that were filled with men who were watching everyone else dance and not dancing themselves, which is one of those things that drives me nuts. It was ok, though. Also, in the back there was another bar (I'm not sure if they had more than beer and Jager) and a coat check room in one.

    Initially I wrote a review that praised this once venerable establishment. However some devastating news pertaining to Bar None turned me into Howard Beale and made me mad as hell. Last week, I strolled to my dependable BN only to find a $5 cover charge for fellas!! WhaaaAAaaaaAATTTtttT?!!? Surely, that's barely 2 slices of pizza... but it's just a matter of principal and class. In an age of frivolous covers (especially for males) and bullshit dress code rules, BN evaded all that and just allowed people to get sauced and cut a rug. Is the problem that you're strapped for cash BN? Raise drink prices then. Is the problem too many males at BN? Hire uglier bartenders. But don't, for heavens sake, charge a cover. This will only deter business. Although I was livid about the cover, I dropped the nick just so I could step into my home. Instantly, there was a certain....je ne sais quoi. The crowd was a bit more upper class and the dj would only spin trash records that would have NEVER gotten spins on a normal Friday/Saturday at BN. I predict if this cover remains, the Bar None crowd will change drastically, possibly resembling the patrons of lame ass Nevada Smith's. I will be starting a petition to abolish this malicious and detrimental cover. Holla at me if you on that same tip, I'm open for helpful suggestions that will make the petition most effective... possibly t-shirts?

    I've been here a few times during the weekend. It's a fun place to go on a saturday to chill and play some beer pong. After maybe 8, the crowds start pouring in. At around 12 or so they take the tables down and have a dance floor in the back. Pretty fun place. Will go back again.

  • Daniel S.

    I came with some friends (not my choice of venue) and it is even skeezier than the last time. I witnessed a group of girls (bnt?) were dancing and one tried to "get low" if you know what I mean while dancing and one particular girl could Not get back up and she tipped over in heels... I overheard a girl walk up to a guy and say "do you shower? You smell like throw-up". Ouch. A lot of old guys that are a bit too old to be there, plenty of college students. I don't really know why someone would purposely come here.

  • Elizabeth H.

    Ew. This place is disgusting. WIth a crowd to match. And it was totally over priced! I think this place could be fun if you bring a very large group and just dominate the back room. Other than that don't waste your time. There are way more fun bars with less bodily fluids scattered about the place and with cheaper drinks. EEwww!

    (2)

  • Janna W.

    Good drinks and managed to snag a table which made it more enjoyable. Music began to gradually increase until it was necessary to shout to be heard by your neighbor which prompted our group from leaving. Supposedly a back room for dancing? Definitely turns into a hot spot after midnight. Interesting mix of people from barely there dresses on girls to jeans and a tee.

    This place is a complete dump, I have no idea why or even how I ended up here last night but I hate this place. I walked in with my friend as we mad our way home, spent about 30 mins in the place and that was way to much time. It's a crappy bar that's not that cheap and the crowd at the place was just ridiculous. I will never come back here and I don't recommend that anyone tries it out.

    * A decent bar to play and enjoy beer pong, cheap drinks, cheap shots. * Hot girls serving you Sex on the Beach shot in test tubes.

    Have you ever walked into a bar, looked at the crowd, turned around and walked out? This is that bar. It even has a faux street sign above the bar that reads "Sex Drive" haha. lame.

    DIVE BAR. Was here this past weekend for a beer pong tournament. $20 all you can drink for 2 hours, not too bad! Downside, you have to be able to deal with the bathroom smell the whole time. If you want to wasted on a budget, this is your place.

  • Eric L.

    Bar None is the definition of a dive bar. The floors were covered in beer, urinals filled with puke, and there wasn't one sober person in the bar. Prices were pretty fair even though I think it was about $40 for a fishbowl of some sorts. The back area turned into a dance and was entertaining to say the least. The bar was ok, but I'm sure I would enjoy more if i stopped in during the day when it was less crowded to catch a game and grab a quick beer.

    Don't go on a weekend. But on a weekday when it's not appallingly busy it can be a good dive bar considering the neighborhood.

  • Bobby V.

    This is the place to go for scraps at the end of the night. Everyone here is always wasted and just looking to meet people. The drinks are okay but I can't remember the pricing. Fish bowls were fairly strong so it's easy to just get one drink and not have to worry about getting up to the bar since the place gets pretty crowded. The layout is fairly poor. It's narrow all the way back but at least they pack in as many people as possible.

  • Jennifer M.

    Went there on a Friday night after dinner with a friend who told me about their fishbowls and dancing. We got there around 8pm and there there were no fishbowls and there was a pool table on the dance floor. We played a few rounds of pool ($2 per game and the table accepts singles and quarters) on the uneven table. A few patrons got stacks of napkins to level the table out in order to have a fair game. Next thing we knew, the pool table was pushed under the DJ's booth, a DJ emerges and the party gets started. All of a sudden coat check opens up and the bouncer makes everyone check their coats or put them on. That was pretty lame. The house drinks were made with cheap liquor and were watered down. Once people started settling in and dancing, the place became fun. We danced through the night. The crowd was a 'come as you are' kindof group which meant there were people still dressed in work clothes, people dressed to party, and everything in between. Overall I had a good time.

  • Nalina L.

    Very fun time here. After a few drinks from our nice bartender, we broke out a deck of cards and had a few strangers join in on the fun. Bar None had great tasting drinks and a pitcher of bud was only 9 bucks which was great for our games of flip cup and kings. I'd definitely go back.

    Cheap beer and beer pong. Loud music and girls bumping and grinding each other for the voyeuristic pleasure of the men sitting in the vinyl booths. Sounds like a frat party. Or that guy you knew in high school's basement in North Jersey. Or even a strip joint. But if that's what you're into, have fun!

    Good place, needs more seating area in there. So I'm on 2 stars. The staff are really cool down to earth people in that place. Tony is the man treated me and my friends very good and reminded me of Charlie Day lol. Good drinks, awesome staff, good vibe, simply a fan.

  • Jax D.

    I'm not really a fan of this bar at all. I came here a few times, but always end up here mostly on weekends. Every time I come here, it always gives me that trashy, redneck vibe and, coming from Ohio that should make me feel at home, but I just felt....not at home haha. I just don't like that old country trash vibe, not saying at all that people here are redneck or trashy, it's just the vibe I get. The drinks are cheap, the staff aren't very responsive though. It took forever for the bartenders to get my friends and I some drinks and this was on a somewhat slow night. When there's a game going on, you can expect 99% of the crowd in here to be wearing all the same jerseys and yelling and hugging each other....yea, not a fan.

  • Samantha N.

    Went here with a friend to experience the "Fish Bowl" that everyone talks and raves about and within 5 minutes was back out the door. I don't know if we came on the wrong night but it was very loud and over crowded. I think that if I was 21 I would enjoy it more. I don't like to leave bias reviews so I'll just end this review with simply, this bar is not for me!

  • PJ V.

    Here's the thing about Bar None... It's a dive bar. It really is. Kinda dirty, has a funky smell, cheap drinks, a regular crowd, and pool in the back. But here's the other thing... They also have the best bartender in the whole city. On some nights (not sure which, but definitely weekends) there's a girl that works there who, I swear, is the best bartender ever. Not only does she probably know any and every drink you could possibly think of - and more- she's also really fun and friendly. It's a great place to bring groups. They have really cheap drinks and they also have fishbowls, which are good to knock out a person or two in one shot. It usually has its crowd of regulars and then some really random people. Often, most of the patrons are completely obliterated but it makes for a fun environment. A definite NYU bar.

    I can't say I've been here any other day then Sunday for Saints games. It turns into a great place to catch a Saints game. Tons of Saints fans, they even play touchdown songs from the Dome after a score. Drinks are cheap. Best place for a game... outside of the Superdome of course.

  • Meggan D.

    Went there for happy hour last night and it was dead! Their website advertised 80's music and video games. We saw neither. Drinks were pretty cheap, but the bartnder was so drunk that he never gave me my change. Luckily, I found him amusing since he was old and spitting when he talked so I didn't object. There was some weird loud banging from upstairs and the ceiling kept shaking. We were really scared the ceiling might cave in. Again, amusing. This place is really divey, which is cool. And drinks are really cheap. Would probably be better on a different night when there were m ore people there.

    A college student's dive bar for sure. Cheap Happy Hours, shot specials, debauchery ensues, scantily clad females dancing all over the bar. It's a pretty cool atmosphere if you go during the week, it's some of the local college students and a few locals within the area, on the weekend how ever it can turn into a jersey shore gel and orange muscled bridge and tunnel freak show. This is the place that exposed me to the fish bowl drink phenomenon so I am happy its still alive and kicking. Also a good pre game place to start off your night

    Bar None is my favorite place to refer people I don't like. An evening there is not unlike being in an episode of Real World.

    No reason to go here unless you like bar trivia, which I do not, and find annoying. It's in the depressing western part of the east village that's overrun with college types. Average dive bar otherwise. There are tons of better places to get your drinks.

  • Annie K.

    When my younger cousin said she was coming with a few of her friends, one of which was 20 at the time, and asked if we'd be able to get into any bars, the first place I thought of was Bar None. My cousin and I got in no problem and when my cousin's friend realized she "forgot" her ID, the bouncer told her he'd let her in anyway because she looked like a hot virgin. Creepy. It's fun for what it is. Dive bar with good music and okay drinks. They were playing beer pong in the back the last time I was here (end of last summer), which I'd never seen before. That was my only really bad encounter with the patrons. As the manager was trying to clear the tables out, a super bitchy girl "accidentally" spilled beer on the people who asked the manager to move the tables because she didn't want to stop playing. Grow up. Like I said, the music is really good. Beware of shady boys you don't want to dance with, though there are some fun people. Probably won't ever go back here, but not a horrible place, though the bathrooms are horrendous.

    This Bar is a Dive Bar a Hit or Miss Type of Place, Dirty Place Sticky and Nasty Bathrooms and I'm not sure even the Glasses are Clean, I ONCE had Lipstick on my Glass it was disgusting, the drinks surprisely are strong ,but do not leave your bag or coat or anything there unattended it will be gone, The Bouncers are like if your Black Guys or Spanish Guys , you will be followed all over the place so a little uncomfortable, No Food Service,

    DON'T come in here if you have high expectations; this is a quintessential dive bar. That said, for nights you just want to chill out with a girl friend or group of friends, this place is great and very laid back. You will meet a variety of - um - interesting people: day traders, comedians, the requisite college frat boys. Their staff is really friendly and the bouncers were very sweet to us each time and one even remembers and makes sure we get free shots on him each time we're there. So maybe my review is biased, nah.

    Great place to get a pitcher and play a little game of beer pong. The main attraction are the prices. 9$ pitcher is a pretty sweet deal.

    Worst bar I have ever been too. The fat bouncer is way too fat to stand in the bathroom hallway. Not only that but the female bartenders are the absolute worst people I have ever met in my life. I went to order 3 drinks for my friends and I and was rudely told that I was cut off from the bar. I questioned why since I am legally 21. The bouncer cut me off and started yelling at me not giving me an explanation for why I could not give them $15 to their failing bar. I would love to say I was cut off because I was way too drunk, however, I was sober. What bar does not let you order 3 drinks for your friends? It is a shitty dive bar, its gross and the people are awkward weird and stupid. EASILY THE WORST BAR EVER!

    There a lot of people mentioning their college days in NY and I think they capture the gist of this place: it's a college bar. I think this place has definitely, in very large part, stood for my college experience. I lived right around that area and I was always coming here all of the time. This place is particularly pact on thurs, fri, and sat nights. As far as I remember, it's completely dead on Sundays and Mondays. As I remember, the drinks were always cheap and there were lots of specials that made them even cheaper. You always had specials on beers and well drinks, which were occassionally served in little plastic cups. There is also the $25 fishbowl, which is about the size of five drinks. The bartender can usually make waterever drink you want. You get to keep the bowl. In the back, you can usually choose between beer pong, pool, and dancing (depending on the night). Pong, it's true, was disorganized, but you could usually get in on a game. Pool was crappy, with balls missing about 80% of the time. Music is always very typically Top 40 and there are usually hoardes of drunken college students doing the mating dance.

    After chowing down on a bunch of awesome Thai food we decided to just top off the night with a bunch of alcoholic beverages. I've always past by this place but never went in. Its a bar, Its a bar people...a bar that thinks its a club. The only thing that made this place great was the drinks that were pretty reasonably priced, but was way to crowded with people who insisted on dancing in any space they could find...even by the bathroom.

  • Meghan M.

    I went here once on a random Wednesday night and I can't get anyone to go back with me because it's too dive-y. Yes, it was a slightly fratty, rowdy crowd. Yes, the music tends funny to just plain bad. If you are a female of any age and you are not obviously attached (at the lips) to any other present human being, you will be swatting away suitors at a good clip. BUT. They have a power hour from 11-midnight during which time well drinks cost $2. Good Christ. You (I) could be on the floor for $15 including tip. I can't even talk about this.

    Oh how i miss my days as a NYU student. Don't get me wrong, 5 years out of college and I still manage to find my way back into this 3rd avenue staple. It's just there. It's like a giant sun, it draws you in when absolutely nothing else is happening on some shit Tuesday night and rescues you with cheap booze and the smell of beer-drenched-hardwood.

    I wouldn't come here except for some unknown reason it's a Saints hangout bar during Saints games. I like watching the games with my friends and we've been lucky to always get a good spot to sit to see the games. There is one big screen TV and a handful of regular sized TV's to watch the game which is great, unless your team is losing. The bartenders are nice but I thought it was very weird that when I ordered a white wine for my friend (why she would order wine in a dingy bar is beyond me but anyways...) the bartender put the wine in a shaker with ice and shaked it like a martini. Then he explained to me the fridge broke last night so all the stuff inside was warm. OK...well, warn me and then my friend could obviously order something else or throw a few ice cubes in the wine glass. I mean, I know we are talking about crap wine here but come on. Also the Bloody Mary's are just OK. No horseradish. No oomph. We need some oomph in our Bloody's. And they serve food, but we just figured that out the other day. We, along with everyone else I've seen there for games always brings pizza or whatever from next door in. Since the place isn't very clean I consider it a blessing that no one working there seems to mind about the outside food. We even discovered there is a waitress...she obviously doesn't need the money because she just doesn't come around. At all. I've observed this is the spot for a few crazies, picking fights, telling you your team sucks, regardless if they're team is playing just to get you riled up. We just laugh it off. Most of the people are cool and all in all we have fun regardless of the negatives.

    So oddly enough....the ONLY reason we ventured down to the NYU area and stumbled into Bar None...is because we had a couple youngins with us that had yet to turn 21. We thought of Bar None as the perfect place to go (totally outdated info, but I'm not at the age to have to worry about this anymore!) is because back in '04 when I was still under age...this was the very first bar I got into in NY, on my very first trip to the city. Does it hold sentimental value to me you ask? Nooot reallly....and the second time around being sober enough to look around me and take in the bar for what it really is...it's not going to be my fav Saturday night hangout or anything. In fact...I doubt I'll ever be back. I mean it's basically 18+, under the table. But, nonetheless...we got the girls in with no problems at all, and had a pretty good time. There was A LOT of dancing, making out in the corner of the booth (oooohh yeahhhh.......really, it wasn't me) and had a lot of rooms to move around in. The back and front rooms have different types of music going on at the same time. So you can bounce back n' forth depending on your mood. Great place to take you little sister or brother ;) And yes they do check for IDs. Just maybe not that closely? I believe back in '04 I was Sara Joiner from California, lamination peeling off. Classy.

    I have no idea why anyone would ever consider this place a dive bar. (I guess it's because most of the other reviewers are New Yorkers and have yet to see a REAL dive bar, such as those that pepper the city of Long Beach.) Also, I 'm sure it's the same exact bar that's in the Marina in San Francisco (same name, same logo, and same beer pong tables in the back), and by definition a dive bar cannot be part of a franchise. But that's not the point, I suppose. I happened to show up on a Wednesday night (the 4th of July, to be exact), which happened to be Ladies' Night, which happened to offer $1 well drinks for females ALL NIGHT LONG. DO YOU REALIZE HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS? $1 WELL DRINKS UNTIL 4 AM? I'll tell you: it made me miss an ENTIRE day of sightseeing because I was so hungover and exhausted. Never again, dollar well drinks. Never again. (But my wallet did appreciate it.) Anyway, I don't think I would return to this bar again, as almost all of its patrons are college students (or minors with fake IDs) and I'm just too old and jaded to be surrounded by college students and/or minors with fake IDs.

    I would actually give this bar zero stars, if I could. The people who frequent this place are assholes and the only thing slightly redeeming is its drink specials. Even that doesn't make this bar worth going to, seeing as when I didn't succumb to a patron's sexist advances, the bartender told me that my friends and myself had our drink special privileges revoked. Bad music, creepy chauvinist men, obnoxious underage drunk girls. This bar should be obliterated.

  • Henry H.

    The only reason this place is getting two stars is because I had a really good time there with a friend of mine. They have a $3 mixed drink special on Fridays for some period of time and I managed to hit it, drink half a dozen screwdrivers, and get out. Simply put, the place is a dump.

    Really only 2 stars people? This place became my plan B. And i had so much fun! The music was great like my dear friend Kristy said, until about 1:30, which was when we left. I love the layout, lots of seating, and the crowd was great. It was my b'day/graduation and everyone from the staff/bouncers/crowd were super sweet to me. These girls offered to buy me a jiggle shot. But i bartender said it was on her. This jiggle shot involves a shake weight and your choice of boozes, very fun. I'm wondering if its under new management cuz I have read some awful reviews about this place in the past.But its was 100% better than what every review is saying. Def worth a try, not gross or sticky!

  • Zack K.

    Bar None.... Oh, the memories you bring. This place has a lot: a huge back room for beer pong or for dancing, a ridiculous, who-the-hell-knows-what's-in-it special blue drink, that is delicious and a potent potable, a very fratboy crowd, and always a raucous time. I feel like I should be more mature than to love a bar like Bar None, but what can I say? It's a favorite of mine. Every time I go (and I live pretty close by, so I go fairly often), I always have a blast, running into long-lost friends or laughing at just how skeevy the place is, or just playing lots of beer pong. Bar None, how I love you so

  • Victor L.

    I can't believe I haven't Yelped this place yet. I've seen 280 pound women getting violated here. Yes I know, it whets your appetite for more. there's a thing to be said for guys who have little to no hair and still put gel in it. Usually its accompanied by a small sliver of a gold necklace. Or a bunch of underclasswomen getting rowdy to some of the worst music mixes ever. This place screams mediocrity. Even King's Head is better than this. Go to Finnerty's for the love of god. The only reason why this gets two stars is the dollar beers in plastic cups before midnight. It will get you going as you keep your eyes closed and stand fast, chugging the 5 bud lights until you're ready to really go out for the night. This is not a dive bar. Its an asshole. If it were a person it'd be a broseph asshole.

  • Sammy B.

    $3 drinks?! HELL YEAH! I've been here two nights, both of which the place got really crowded. The first night was on a regular night, I think, so there was in dance floor in the back, just a bunch of beer pong tables. The second night was on Saturday, so they cleared the back room for the dance floor. Not really my type of music, to tell you the truth. Also, that stupid hunting arcade game is rigged! But it lets you play on and on and on. So I'm a fan =)

  • francois l.

    ive been going here since i moved to the states almost 20 yrs ago. they used to have all you can drink beer and liquor all day for 5 dollars and free food (hot dogs you serve yourself from a crock pot of water and day old bagels from the bagel store next to the bar) it was the classic dive bar, grimy, grungy, cheap, something was always broken or out of order, but what made the place so special is the staff. no matter when i went there i always felt comfortable. they made everyone feel at hone- from nyu college kids to artist, to retired angry old men to lawyers to swedish au pairs who came there by the droves. i dont go there much any more but the few times i have, im happy that in the ways that matter, bar none hasnt changed much, it is still divy, except now the bathrooms work, theres no more all u can drink, but drinks are still cheaper here than any other bar i know of. i think everyone who comes to nyc should stop in this bar and see what a real local ny bar is like. these kind of bars are a dying breed which is sad. i hope bar none stays real forever, but nothing lasts forever... cheers

  • Kristen M.

    This bar is pretty much as bad as they come. A dirty dive bar where the fishbowls are strong and the guys are are sleazy. The only reason I give two stars is because of their $1 drinks for ladies on Wednesdays. However, don't drink them too fast because a wasted night at Bar None usually doesn't end well.

    (2)

  • Amasa A.

    Just your typical East Village faux-dive bar catering to NYU kids. $10 credit minimum, in case you're stuck in the neighborhood with no cash like I am waiting for the #!@%ing L train to start running again.

  • jessica a.

    Tiny, dive bar. Was so hot in there we could hardly breathe. There were people sitting in the booths playing spin the bottle. Restrooms were in the rear and almost impossible to get to. Only good thing was the fish bowls for $20 that you can fill with anything you want.

    (2)

  • Kyle M.

    One of my favorite bars in the city. But you have to understand I enjoy cheap dive bars with a fun loose attitude. Great pitcher deals, around $12 to go with your beer pong game in the back room. After it gets a little later the pong tables get folded up and the DJ starts. The back turns to a dance floor and everyone really starts getting sloppy. Don't go there if you don't like getting drunk because one way or another it will happen.

    (4)

  • Brock T.

    I've only been on the weekends, where the crowd consists of two distinct factions: 1. NYU students 2. Creepy older gentlemen staring at said students dancing So, if you fit into either one of those key demographics, by all means go. If not, you'll feel somewhat out of place in this joint.

  • Nathan L.

    I love Bar None! As a transplant from Fargo ND, I would go to this bar to watch Vikings games. I can't tell you how much fun I had playing beer pong in the back area. It was so funny to bust out my fraternity-earned skills on my coworkers. Bar None was like a trip back home without leaving the city. Always a good time.

  • Allyson R.

    This place is okay for a cheap beer and to hang out for a bit. It's a HUGE college scene, and most of there nights are themed towards college students (beer pong night, rock band karaoke, etc). The bartenders are fairly slow, and there is rarely a place to sit. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring it in from other places which is nice. If you want a cheap beer and a young crowd it's a decent place to go.

    (2)

  • Ian C.

    I don't know why I keep coming here, even though I know how bad this place can be. The front part of the bar isn't too bad-- it's a dive bar and they have a lot of beers to select. But the back area... i try to stay away from it, but somehow i always make my way there. I don't mind the beer pong, but i do mind the loud, obnoxious music blasting on the speakers (they front area has better music and it's not as loud). And the last (and hopefully last) time I went, the back area became a impromptu dance club for a bunch of kids who looked like they couldn't even buy a pack of cigarettes. They were really annoying.

  • Diana R.

    Good prices on stiff drinks and beer, but the vibe and crowd (if there IS a crowd when you're there) is sketchy at best.

  • Lee D.

    listen, this place isn't the Ritz, and its not Del Frisco's. So if you come here expect the dive bar to live up to its title. lots of younger kids from NYU but you can avoid having to deal with them reading poetry and talking about their acting class by being louder and talking about team sports which generally works to drive them away. side note - if you piss off the bouncers you will really, really regret it. respect the guys and they let you have a good time.

  • Twistidfunk y.

    Great dive bar! Look folks, this place is what it is and it is very good at that. Anyone going in with expectations other than Beirut and cheap beers and some sports on tv should mosey on down the street and pay their 10 dollar cover for a $15 martini. Anyone looking for some fun and to get drunk can hang here and enjoy a good time. Bonus: This is the New Orleans Saints bar for all the games and is quite an evironment.... Good times. Geaux Saints!

  • Erica D.

    Wow, So I used to come here in my wild college days, always had fun. Took a recent trip here with some girlfriends and from the jump it was a mess. There was absolutely no one waiting in line so me and my girlfriend walk up to the bouncer to show our id's. He points to the "line." He actually had us walk around the rope to go up to him to show our id's! Ok fine. We did a little trip around the rope and hand him our id's, he then goes and points to another person standing there. I guess that is who we had to show our id's to...Alright fine, we finally get in and it was packed beyond belief, super hot and just a mess. Whatever, we weren't expecting anything high class. We receive a call from a friend of ours who was meeting us there. She says "The bouncer is being a douche, we are just going to go across the street." Wow wonder who they were talking about. We had other friends meeting us there as well so we were going to wait for them to leave. Another text comes in from another friend 'the bouncer is being a jerk, i'll just wait outside." So we just bounced. It sucks cause this used to be a fun bar. But definitely will not be going back ever again. Though I have to admit the bartenders were awesome. It sucks that they have to work with such awful bouncers

The next morning, my jacket was still there... but the watch and cellphone I had put in the pockets were not.

    DO NOT EXPECT TO MEET "THE ONE" HERE. this is a very chill place, drinks are cheap and the entertainment: BEER PONG. I'm always mistified by the game. I usually sip on my drinks, while getting hit on by weird guys...and comment on the girl kicking the guy's ahem. i remember one time when i went at 2 am, people were drunk as a whale, and dancing started to look like the horizontal tango, one gentleman really wanted to buy me and my friend a drink- he repeated this 3x's... yeah no thanks dude, same night some other guy tried ti hit on my friend, who wasnt feeling so sober... you'll def meet a few guys you wish you hadnt here, but hey GREAT FOR PREGAMING!

    Theyre under new management, the bouncers are horrible...all if sudden they don't allow timberlands as footwear.

I loved this place but bouncers make it a living hell so unfortunately I won't b back.

  • Gabby D.

    ha....haha....ha....ohhhhhh Bar None. Dude--this was the hott spot back in the days. And by back in the days, I mean when I was 19 like everyone else who goes there. I can't hate too much because I do have many a fond memories of the place and it's always a clutch place to get your dance on (minus that time the 19 yr old DJ played Mambo #5 and I walked out), plus the drinks are affordable and there's always some crazy drink special (I'm not counting the shot girls that walk around with awful jello shots or the random-ass fish bowls). For example, their weirdo "Happy Hour" from 10-11?? Mmm? I'm not complaining! But I also don't see myself being a Spring Chicken and hanging out at Bar None before the hours of "completely wasted o'clock" in the evening. Furthermore, it always perplexes me why there's a $5 cover charge from Thurs. to Saturday. Unnecessary. I've always said that perhaps, we should face facts, make it an "all-ages" bar charge those 21 and under the $5 and all the faux and/or real drinkers will get in free. Hmmm. But I have love for my um, youngsters if you will so scratch that. Times are tough. And AS for the bathrooms. Whew. Always an "adventure." Usually, I get my hand-stamped and go outside one block south to Nevada Smiths (not like they have 5* glamorous loos but hey!) and come back. My girls and I did do the stop in the other night, just for 'icks and 'shiggles (we tricked the bouncer to let us pay $5 for all of us) and it was sadly pretty dead. I genuinely hope that, that doesn't mean what it usually means. I'm sure the summer imports will take care of the un-crowded ness mighty soon however and business will soar once again. But seriously, velvet stantions and a line?!?!?! I mainly just shake my head when I walk by. But make sure if you are "walking by" on a "peak" day to get ready to "bob and weave" through all the craaaazy drunksters lost outside, picking fights, or just being drunk--and remember to peek in the dark corners outside b/c there's usually a guaranteed person on The Third Avenue either passed out or in drunken hysterics on a cell phone. It makes for (I'm a horrible person) a good chuckle.

  • kelly r.

    This bar, along with Nevada Smith's, was one of those college dives that I went to way before I could legally drink. However, I have to write this review because I was pleasantly surprised the past few times I went there. I went there with two friends a few months ago after work, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they had $9 pints of Bud as well as a trivia night. I was waiting for some friends tonight and decided to stop in and have a drink before meeting them. You have to love the way that those drunken NYU kids completely lose their inhibitions when drunk - it reminded me of those good old innocent days of when I was eighteen or nineteen. As soon as I walked in, I got hit on by a few frat boys who offered to buy me a drink. We had a little small talk, whooped at the game on the huge TV, and I was surprised to see the seating area in the back - very roomy with lots of tables. There was also a DJ and I imagine that this area turned into a dance floor later. The DJ who was prepping seemed pretty cool and punk rock; I didn't stay to listen to his set, but it seemed like it would have a bit of substance. The doorman was a total sweetie. All in all, the last two times made me forget about my encounters here pre 2010, where I was trying to break up a fight between my boyfriend and a random frat guy with a big mouth.

  • Annie S.

    This is the epitome of dive bars, so you have to love it for what it is... Sub par but friendly service by jaded and trashy bartenders, always a gaggle of NYU students lurking in the corners hoping no one checks their IDs, and the classic neighborhood drunks who nurse their well whiskeys and glower. The back room is lit like a Soviet bloc mental institution, the floor has not been mopped since 1972, and in the bathroom you feel like there might be a small furry creature huddled in the corner. But for cheap beer in a place that doesn't care what you look like or what your puke smells like, go to Bar None. And then go home and take a shower.

  • Ben C.

    Beer pong in the back...brings me back to parties in the basement of a rundown frat house. This place is a dive bar. Not that I have a problem with dive bars but if I had to give the most accurate example of a dive bar, Bar None would be it.

    Word of advice? Do not go here. The cheap drinks are NOT worth it! Dirty place & dirty people, but I guess thats why they say 'you get what you pay for!' You want a fishbowl? Go to Calico Jacks instead; it's much better!

    I went to this bar in the afternoon of a Saturday when it wasn't so crowded and full of college kids (like most bars in the East Village are). It's a decent dive bar if you're looking to watch a baseball game and drink at 4 in the afternoon. Pretty laid-back and spacious (especially in the back where they have games), although once the college kids hit it up at night I'm sure it isn't.

    Although this is for the most part a college bar, there is a good mix of early-mid twentysomethings that hang out here. The decor is nothing special. The bartenders are quick. The drinks are bargains (there are times when drinks are only $2!!) although not the best drinks out there. For the most part, if you just want to have some laid-back fun with a good mix of young people, head over to Bar None. I've always had a good time there. Just don't get too dressed up or you'll stand out like a weirdo.

    I finally went here for the first time on Saturday. We went in to "get out of the rain". At least that's what we told everyone. Truth be told, it was really hot and we wanted a drink--or six. My friends and I were able to sit quietly and work on some sketch material while the Yankees/Mets played in the background. I'm sure this place sucks at night, but during the day, when the beer pong tables were empty and the bathroom floor still smelled like the chlorine they used to clean it at five that morning, this place was pretty all right.

  • Sara C.

    this was the first bar we hit up on our first night here in ny and i thought it was a very cool spot. definitely for the college kids around here. we didnt come here expecting a whole lot, just a place to chill and drink....and yes, that we did. there are two rooms here, the front where the main bar is and the back room which had booths alongside the walls and in the middle were long folding tables.....for beer pong! i thought that was pretty cool. dont know they were permanent fixtures there but it was there when we went. it was fun watching all the college kids downing pitchers and pitchers of beer. they also had girls walking around with trays carrying shots....great idea! especially when it gets crowded and you cant get to the bar.

No thanks if I really need to reminsce about college and drink till I puke for old times sake I'll just go to Continental. At least there I get cheap shots.

    The best thing about this bar is the music and the fact that you can dance like a total ass-clown and you are surrounded by so many others that you will never be noticed. Sometimes the underage scene is entertaining, so I'll give it that, and they have some cheap beer specials. But, I think the place more talk than walk, and the mixed drinks are very disappointing, weak and a little on the expensive side.

  • Mike T.

    Probably one of the shitiest bars I've ever been into the city. Why anyone would come in here and pay a $15 cover is beyond me. As far as sloppiness goes, this place is akin to Proof which is another place I'm not too fond of. Just stay away, unless you're THAT desperate....

  • Sarah B.

    Bar None has come to haunt me. I thought I left it behind in San Francisco, but noooo, it just had to show up in the East Village during one of my nights out parading. Some similarities- young folks, some very young if you know what I mean. Lots of drinking and can be lots of fun if you're in the mood to socialize up a storm, as one tends to be in that mood from time to time.

    That blackout move - I have been to this bar about 3 times and never remember leaving and always end up returning to get my credit card the next day. In fact one time I went here to pick up my then-left credit card only to get the one I lost two weeks ago and had since cancelled. The atmosphere is very divey, the prices are black-out cheap, and the women are usually NYU girls or the easy new york crowd. This place is soo much like that dirty-ex that you know you are better than, but after drinking about 20 beers always end up waking next to...or on the windowsill. My advice is to get some buddies together and play some good old college drinking games. Down about 15 beers a piece for a pre-gamer then hit this place hard and you will most likely get laid, get in a fight, and die from alcohol poisoning all in one fantastic night of self-destruction.

  • Laura Bora F.

    When I first moved to NYC, Bar None was called "Billy's" often confused with "Billy's Topless" but there were no topless women in Billy's, only drunken old men. They used to have these great drink specials, like "$5, drink all night" or "Nickel beers"....then all the NYU kids found it. They tweaked the decor and scrubbed that drunk old man smell out of the joint, but it's still a D-I-V-E. However if you are poor and want to get lit, you can do so here.

    mmm. there are the fun dive bars, and then there are the not-so-fun dive bars. it's safe to say that this is the latter. i think i came on a wednesday night randomly one night. i was already involved in an awkward social situation to begin with, so being inside an unimpressive bar only added insult to injury. it was pretty dead, but i guess the bartender and bouncer were nice enough to earn this place two stars.

  • Mike B.

    These days, I find that I hate any bar that has exactly more than 1 college guy inside of it. Unfortunately, Bar None is primarily filled with the college crowd and other stragglers trying to relive their college glory days. The bar has a wooden floor that has a constant stickiness to it from the previous nights beer spillage. There are several large flat screen televisions that line the exterior of the bar, and the addiitonal room is back is fairly large with additional TV's. The only reason I am giving it 2 stars instead of 1 is that it is actually a decent sports bar to watch football during the day. But for a nighttime excursion, I would avoid at all costs, unless you have a busload of college frat friends in town who want to pretend they are still on campus. Bar None has a similar crowd to Off the Wagon in the village. Use that as a reference point, think college, t-shirts, beer pong.

    (2)

  • Michael M.

    I went to Bar None with a few friends not knowing how crowded it can get on a Friday night. We had a blast. It's definitely a young crowd (NYU'ers). Being a recent college grad myself, that wasn't a bad thing. Oh, and the best part they have a 2 dollar beer special. Awesome.

    (4)

  • Irene F.

    Forewarning: I haven't been here in a good 3 years. However, it used to be THE bar of choice for starting off the night for me and my friends. We always went for power hour, which consisted of lots and lots of shots, so as you can imagine things got fun and fuzzy rather quickly. I don't know if they still do it, but the crowd outside has gotten more and more pretentious looking every time I pass it, which definitely keeps me from returning. One of these days, however, I know I will!

    Bar None is a hole in the wall. The DJ is awful, the drinks are overpriced, and the place reeks of date-rape cologne from the 30-year old men prowling on drunk underage girls. The only redeeming quality of this bar is the staff. The doorman is very friendly, and the bartenders are personable. Go to Nevada Smith's right down the street for a much better time.

    when i lived in the city, i would always take my visitors here and get LOADED before spending the rest of the night stumbling around sightseeing drunk. great dive in a great location. only downside is this place gets PACKED ( meaning get 2 drinks at a time) but i always approached it as a pit stop before the real evening so the crowd didnt bother me much.

    Bar None is truely a man's bar. 11 TV's, pool tables, this is the type of place that is great for going with a group of people. Meeting the opposite sex, not so much. This is not one of those classy sip martini's type of bar. It is a dive in the best sense of the word. A bar where you go to have an evening of BS with the gang and have a few beers.

    Came here on Friday with my friends, It was my first time but they have been there before. We got there like around 11 and it was pretty crowded but we managed to find a spot by the bar. The crowd was decent, everyone was having a good time. The drinks were cheap at the time we were there and had a buy one get one free deal which was awesome. After our first round of drinks we went towards the dance floor in the back. the DJ was okay, we had a good time dancing and hung out with a group of guys. The night was ok, I enjoyed myself but it is not my go-to type of bar

    A personal favorite of mine and always will be. One of the usual spots in the Astor Place/St.Marks area for myself and my friends whenever we just wanna have a night out. A divey atmosphere with just the ideal city nightlife vibe, great music always playing, comfortable seating arrangements, a dance floor in the back, and a bar that doesn't take forever to reach. Not to mention, great servers who know what they're doing when preparing drinks from their very open selection. Basically, if it contains alcohol, it can and will be made for you without hesitation and shouldn't cost you much. With that being said, their selection of beer is also quite decent. No night out on 14th Street is complete without stopping by to this place in my opinion. You're pretty much guaranteed to be satisfied and still have more than enough in your wallet to keep a bar crawl going. I'd say the only downside is that they don't serve food, but when there are a number of affordable eateries right outside the place, you really can't complain. It tends to get packed on Saturday nights but, that's expected and the layout of the place prevents crowds from being too much of a problem. I highly recommend anyone in NYC who hasn't already done so to check it out.

    What a dump, man. If you like beer served in plastic cups, the enchanting aroma of stale urine, and drunk people being carried out while it's still light out, well, then this is your place. If not, go elsewhere.

    Cool place to start the night. Mostly college crowd. Cheap drinks. Mostly guys towards the end of there night. Great DJ and several big screen TVs. Still a good place to hear to with friends

    Been here three times and twice within the past 2 weeks...this is a very good bar spot in the Union Square/Village area. This place from what I've been told is known for its fishbowl drinks, however when I came here this past Friday there were no fishbowls...so I don't know if I was mistaken by that or if they only do that on specialty nights but I was disappointed with not having a fishbowl drink for my birthday. However the music here is good, the atmosphere is great and just has you let loose and the crowd is a nice mix. I don't remember how much I actually paid for a drink or drinks but I don't remember complaining too much so I don't think they were that expensive (in a Manhattan drink sense of dollar amount.) Overall this a cool place to go to for groups or after dinner/movie spot with a date just to kick back and have a few drinks. The bartenders are attentive and the bouncers are okay. Definitely will be coming here again.

    This place use to be good... and then BOOM- it got a little too popular and now it's impossible to actually have a GREAT time at this place. The fishbowl (which use to be $25 and is now $35) is not worth it. The seating is limited. The backroom is WAY too crowded on a typical Saturday night. All jokes aside, they should really be clicking in how many people they let into this place because it seriously seemed like a fire hazard. You literally could not dance, no space to do so. LAME. And to top it all off... the "general manager" refused to let in one of the guys in my party because his pants were "too low." It was completely discriminatory because he had a durag on AND his pants were a little low. Ridiculous...especially because he took off his durag and pulled up his pants... I was drunk but not so drunk not to realize that they were just stereotyping him. Long story short: we left and headed to Tonic on 29th street. This place is NOT that great nor is it worth the trouble.

    Horrible establishment. Sound quality in the back is horrendous. I only come here for the The Ohio State University games and can't believe they won't be on the sound for their Friday night crowd. As if that really exist. It's freezing in the back room and my OSU game watch crew won't be back to watch anymore games at any point. We tend to bring 10+ ppl for every game. I'm sure we can find another establishment that will play all games.

    I love Dive Bars. This is one of the good ones in the city. If your asking... "Do they have cheap beer? Do they have happy hour specials? Do they play awesome music such as Journey?" To answer all that.... Yes, Yes and Hell Yes! Cheap booze, chill atmosphere. Bar None has it..... The divier the better!

  • Shavon C.

    This place has it's good nights... And bad. Drinks are cheap. DJ plays okay music... Enough to get your butt up and dance. The guys there can be douche and try to run behind you to dance. Overall, try it out... It's fun. Just don't make a habit of coming here... The more I come, the more I'm starting to hate this place. But you can't beat cheap drinks and NO cover

    House drinks are very sweet ! Usually a bars house drinks are there strongest ... But since this was not the case, I had to buy a new drink being I cannot tolerate that much sugar . We went early, a little after 8PM and it was still packed up front . Me and the girlfriend hung out in the back playing pool ... She had a whole pitcher of beer to herself for 9 bucks and I kept having grey goose and cran . Good time overall . We left a little after 11PM due to other plans but definitely would have hung out a little longer if not . It definitely gets packed as the night progresses but a very cool place and a good variety of music

    Semi enjoyed myself at this Dive What it has to offer: Cheap drinks Sucky Bartenders Boring Crowd The woman "manning" the bar was rude and wearing too little to be bending over grabbing bottles. the crowd is not much better. Many boring people wanting to talk about their boring lives. My advice: go with someone who isn't boring order a cheap drink and sit very far away from the bar. I really wish I could have seen the pool tables though I love kickin some butt in pool :( oh well next time. I'll be back

  • Monique R.

    I didnt drink a thing here because i was already hating my liver... But some massively cool things happened: 1. I pole danced on the smallest pole ever. The bouncer told me they have midget pole dancing once a month. Someone else told me the pole I danced on was an actual velvet rope pole- but im sure they were hating. 2. I discovered what makes Leaf W. Giggle like a school girl 3. Ron C. has amazing legs 4. Mel F's dancing skills are phenomenal. Give that girl a pole and watch her go! 5. Phil H. is marketing my brownies as sex brownies, and his fiance is going to be my PR. 6. Bouncers Card me there. YAY! I feel like a sneaky teen again! 7. Bouncers flirt if you give them homemade goods. It was the last stop on the pub crawl for us before we headed out for much needed comfort food. Great pub crawl. No More Booze please.

    I don't always to go to dive bars but when I do I prefer Brooklyn. Bar none has cheap bear, non-pretentious atmosphere, crappy furniture and some TVs that play your favourite sports. They get a lot of business during the World Cup, Euros and Champions League mainly because Nevada Smith's has to turn away a lot of people due to capacity restraints. I went there a couple of time to watch the games (for the above mentioned reason) and the ambiance there is just pure crap: you get your frat boy contingent and other dive bar regulars that watched 4 games of soccer in the past 2 years and can name 5 players and think the world cannot go on another day without them sharing their expert opinion. If you don't know what's going on but just want to chant "USA! USA!" this is your spot.

    Worst. Went on a Tuesday night. The bartender/owner is racist. A woman was afraid of my friend with dreads. My friend fixed her bangs and the bartender asked to touch my hair, I said no and we were accused of doing drugs and wouldn't be served. I had one drink beforehand. Fun stuff. So disgusting. Forget them.

  • Eri S.

    Trashy. Dirty. Sooooooo dive-y. I really didn't want to sit down/touch anything. And when your friends are trying to make you participate in some Michael Jackson dance competition, (which you are clearly not down/drunk enough for) you really start to question how you stumbled into this place.

    (2)

  • Phil H.

    Another cool bar we hit up on our pub crawl. Dive-tastic! Cheap beer, great music playing (80's-90's rock), and crappy signs and junk all over the bar. Dark and dingy back room that you can overtake and set up makeshift beer pong tables as I saw other patrons doing. Yes, it reminds you of a grungy college bar where all the underage students drink. Dirty and grungy, oh yeah!

  • Ashley L.

    Bar none = bar NO I came in here only because I wanted to grab a drink before eating at 99 MIles to Philly (a few doors down). Walked in and what I saw was NOT what I was expecting at all. I've seen and passed this place so many times but never went in...the name sounded alright but I was wrong. This place is filled with mostly white fratty looking kids who are in college or just graduated from college....some looked younger. I decided to take a look around...the bar area to right and a raised dance area on the left with a narrow walkway to the back...where there is a dance floor...here I saw no white people...just blacks. It was interesting the way this place was segregated...and of course my bf and I were the only Asians. The place is narrow and deeper than it is wide. I walked around the entire place in 1 minute and had to get the fck out ASAP. The floors were so dirty and sticky...broken glass...girls falling down on this nasty floor... DON'T COME HERE

    Thursday night. 6:05pm. The music is SO BAD and SO LOUD. Even screaming, we can't talk to each other. Multiple groups have asked the bartender to turn it down a notch. He won't because "he likes the songs he's playing." We're rallying groups we don't know to go to another bar for trivia down the street.

  • Michael L.

    Lousy, loud (not in a good way) and overcrowded bar. Might be fun if your an NYU Freshman. Came here last night for a friend's bday party and god I wish I was a lot more drunk than I was. This place features annoying music played over and over again at volumes so high you cannot have a conversation / hear anything. The drinks are fairly cheap for NYC and the selection decent enough, but just no this is not a place I have any desire to come back to. Furthermore the bouncer, doorman what have you was extraordinarily rude. Gets more than one star just for the fact the drinks were fairly cheap and the selection not bad. Otherwise avoid on a weekend.

    Oh man, always have a great time here!! The music, the staff, the atmosphere, and the dance floor are so much fun!! It gets pretty packed on the weekends but I recently went there on a Tues night and filled up on $3 margaritas. Always a guaranteed good time!

  • Rojé G.

    This is a bar I go to if and only if I have nowhere else to go and I am low on cash. Bar None is such a slum but with that said they are in a great location with a lot of foot traffic, Around the corner from Webster hall, and they are cheap so the people will come. Thank god the crowd here is always young 20 somethings who are very laid back and relaxed because this bar doesn't really have much to off. The DJs are alright and when this place is actually packed it's a fun time but the people who attend the bar make the experience. The bartenders are nice and pleasant and the bouncers are hit and miss. If the place is packed its worth walking into to check it out, if not just keep it moving. Good: crowd 2 for 1 drinks Bad: fishbowls decor

    Had a pretty good time at this Dive bar. The music was mixed as was the crowd and this made for a light and fun atmosphere/vibe. I sat at the bar the whole time, but I believe in the back are pool tables and an area to dance. The drinks were cheap and the bartender hooked my friend and I up because she was in her marine uniform for fleet week. He was a real doll and happy to trnd to us! The drinks were strong and sweet; I had a margarita and one of their specials the Starburst which was suppose imitate the taste of the popular chewy candy. It wasn't quite starburst-y, but it's gorgeous shade of Fuchsia and fruity burst of carbonation made this $10 long glassed drink all worth every last sip. The best part of the night was meeting lots of new people who were just as friendly as myself (there aren't to many of us). We met other military members and chatted away half the night with this comedian from crown heights; kept us cheering all night. We only came here to pre-game before amnesia but I'm so mad we left for that hell of a dump. I would definitely come back here again and make a night of it.

    The bouncers (particularly James) are overly aggressive and start fights (rather than prevent them and keep the patrons safe). Don't even visit this bar as a joke. Not worth it.

  • Valeria F.

    It was aite, I had a pretty good night. A guy was giving out "buy one drink, get one free" specials flyers on the street so a lot of people showed up which is always good. I got two gin & tonics which were again aite. Now, although there were a lot of people the crowd wasn't particularly good-looking, but again it's not a high-end classy bar so that's probably typical. I also met up with friends there and wasn't particularly looking to find someone that night so that didn't concern me to much, but I imagine it's a pretty big deal if you are. BUT given that the people were fun, almost everyone was dancing rather than sitting on the couches by the bar and was real friendly.

  • Gillian M.

    It's sad to see that there are so many Bar None haters, though I can believe some of the stuff other people said. Me and my friend wandered in on a Thursday after work for happy hour. The drinks were cheap and strong, people were friendly, and they were having a trivia night which seemed fun (though we left early). Like Yelp says though, it is VERY LOUD but at least I dug most of the music

  • Louis P.

    Dirty Manhattan spot, not going as far as calling it trashy but definitely not the classiest place to have a drink. Great place to see a drunk person trip and fall, there are so many random steps from front to back that are a trap for the average drunk, they put yellow tape at the edge but it's not much of a help. SO packed, no place to get through,butt-ugly college chicks making out in front of you, sticky floors, barbacks not removing empty glasses/cans, music too loud that you literally can't hear anything. No thanks Cheap beer is the only thing not making this one star

  • John K.

    Dirty bathrooms. Place is overcrowded. I don't really get why. Unattractive crowd. People are all up on each other on the dance floor in the back. (NOT in a hot way ;) lol ) Last time I was there, there was actually broken glass on the dance floor and no one cleaned it up.

  • Stephanie F.

    Rude bouncers, but awesome bartenders. I guess this is always the deal everywhere, but this bouncer was particularly rude and wanted to make SURE I stepped in view of the 4 different cameras they have installed outside. My friends and I got a fishbowl, and as per the bartenders suggestion got a red flavored one. It packed a punch and tasted extremely sugary; so of course I loved it. TVs are situated throughout the bar. The most interesting thing about this bar is that you can text the bar and have your message appear on the TV screen. Some patron called my friend gay via this. Anonymous and mean? I loved it! Crowd was very mixed, which is always a plus in my book. Seating was tough in the front of the bar and as the night progressed, standing space got worse. We quickly left as the after-dinner crowd filtered in.

    They have every flavor of pinnacle vodka! Flavors you've never even heard of, like gummy, chocolate cherry, mango, cake (uh I know!), and of course, my favorite...whipped cream. Hell yeah! The vibe is divey but kiiind of douchey at the same time (but not NEARLY as much as the Penny Farthing across the street). There was a super annoying noise that went on while we were here, for at least five minutes straight, something like a fire alarm, and no one did anything about it. It was piercing and terrible, and made us want to leave. I wouldn't pick this place as a destination, more of a stop along the way or a place to grab a few drinks/shots of delicious flavored Pinnacle vodka on the way to another bar.

  • Veronica G.

    props for the drink specials EVERY NIGHT. this is indeed a dive bar--sketchy bouncers, bald bartenders and bathrooms that you want to avoid. I shall return just because I didn't go to the backroom and felt I need to tour the whole place.

  • Zoe P.

    Blech. That's what I think when I hear the name "Bar None." A remnant from my high school days (YES, high school - fake IDs weren't turned away even if you clearly were an underage girl), this is where my classmates came to party on the weekends and not much has changed. Except maybe it's dirtier, although with so many people packed inside it's hard to know for sure. Total dive bar but filled with college kids, sleazy types, and people so far past drunk they have no idea where they are (and that's a good thing for them). Music blares and tv's have a combo of sports and, umm, lingerie model shows for some reason. Maybe if you want a really cheap drink this is a decent choice, or if you want to stumble down memory lane for a few minutes. But after one friend got instantly groped on BOTH breasts, another had an entire drink spilled on her, and I had some Jersey Shore-esque guy attempt to grind on me, we high-tailed it outta there. Bar None indeed.

    Love bar none awesome spot for good drinks.. If u like to dance they have a dj and a huge dance floor.They dj's are switched up all the time some better than others.The bouncer at the door definitely cards everyone soo be prepared for that overall it's a pretty chill spot. Worth trying

  • Stephanie Q.

    I came here after a long night of partying at Webster Hall. It was Bar None or McDonalds and I thought a bar would be cooler. We shared a pitcher of Bud Light. Usually, I don't like beer. Come on, girls like girly drinks like sex on the beach, peach margaritas, not beer. But on this night, Bud Light tasted AMAZING. I don't know why, I think I was just so thirsty from partying that it went down like water... (webster hall charges like $5 or $10 per bottle of water, so I just hold my thirst). Awesome bar, love it!

    its a dive yes! i think any one that has been here can see that... but!!!! the drinks are cheap for being in the city... if you are pre gaming with some friends or just looking for a place to vibe then this place is cool to just chill and have some drinks and not break the bank!

  • Katie L.

    I come here with my boyfriend for trivia on Thursdays. Its your average bar with average prices and an average crowd. There is a good amount of seating in the front and more seating and pool tables in the back. They are strict with IDs and the bartender can be less than friendly. The beer is usually good except for one time it was totally the bottom of the barrel. If you're a serious trivia player, you might get annoyed if the bar is crowded because it can be hard to hear the trivia host. But on most nights its been fine and a fun time.

  • Jill F.

    Went here on a whim and it was so fun!! The front part was more of a bar, small tables n chairs and people standing around. In the back there is a dance floor and a DJ which was my favorite part. Very hot inside, lots of people on the dance floor. Music was mostly rap and hip hop but it was all radio type songs. I liked it because I knew all the songs so I could really have fun and dance to them.

    Came here for the first time on a Saturday night, May 4th, and stayed almost till closing time on Cinco de Mayo. Had a blast! DJ Paid was one of the best DJ's I've heard in a while. He mixed his beats flawlessly and played everything from 80's to nowadays rock, pop, salsa, electronic, and more; it was superb. The place was pretty full but definitely had enough room to move. And I move a lot! The margaritas were tasty and only $5. It was an great start to Cinco de Mayo.

  • Kristy R.

    I was unsure about this place when we initially showed up for a birthday/graduation party. It seemed small with an odd crowd, however, as the night wore on (and the alcohol continued to flow) it didn't seem so bad anymore. My only issue came towards the end of the night. The top 20 playlist of music got progressively louder and suddenly I felt as though I were at a club and clubs are NOT my thing. I'd come back but I woud not stay past 1 AM again.

    There were 2 girls standing on the corner giving out buy one get one free coupons. They gave me 3. It's an average dive bar and it was pretty crowded on a Friday night.

    Great place to get drunk and shake your arse! Cheap drinks pretty good music, beer pong (if you're into that). No need to dress up or bring your rent money with you. I would NOT recomment bringing a date here, though., Unless you come here with a group of 4 or more, this place can tend to be a little lame. Mostly college students and sloppy drunks. If you plan on staying sober, then good luck. Somehow the legendary fishbowl drinks never get old.

  • Erica I.

    I've been a frequent guest at Bar None for the past 3 years and it has slowly been going down the drain. In the beginning it was the best place to be on a Friday night. the DJ played the best mix of music, the fish bowls and beer were cheap, and overall it was just a great time. Fast forward to 3 years later. The DJ is so so. he has been given a list of what type of music he is allowed to play by the owner i.e. no hip hop, reggae, or r&B. He has been subjected to strictly top 40 hits which are on continuous repeat all night long. The Fish bowls are now almost $50 which is outrageous and the crowd is so-so. I'm guessing the more popular the bar became the more management started sucking the life out of one of the most fun places I have ever been to. Hopefully one day I can revisit this place and have as much fun as I used to have when it was relatively new and unknown. Until then I have found other places to get cheap drinks and have a good time.

    2 stars. This is a total dive bar, $9 pitchers of bud light during NFL games. This is a Saints and Vikings bar. It feels, looks, and is dirty inside. There are small TV's up front and a few projection TV's in the back.

    I'm kinda hating this bar for the horrible/crazy night that I had. I opened a tab but left my credit card and ID there. Can i be any stupider since I had a flight the next morning?? ... Even so, I called them and they ripped up my credit card and mailed me my ID. So FIVE stars to that!

  • Jordan R.

    I only give it one star for the drinks. Service is awful, even for a dive bar. Management, while generally okay, occasionally let in terrible people to work there as bartenders. Not coming here again, and I suggest that you don't as well.

  • A. M.

    So shocked at all these low ratings! What do you expect from a bar like Bar None? I love Bar None. It is the only place where I can dance to hip-hop all night. ALthough they do play a lot of other music. The drinks are decent. Try to aim at the deals! Bar None is one of those bars where it's really just dead or it is really packed. That might be the only downfall. I hate being not shoulder to shoulder with people at a bar but ass to shoulder, boobs to knees,.. you get the idea! AND ONE MORE THING.. WHY THE HELL ARE THE BATHROOMS SO SMALL? okay, i guess maybe it doesnt deserve 5 stars but i love this place! i think my best friend and I are the only ones who actually got through to the bouncer who remembers us. but I won't share the secret SORRY!

    I came here for trivia on a Thursday night on my friend's suggestion. I read the reviews before I went and was pretty much dreading it. Luckily, trivia night doesn't seem to have the same douchetastic crowd that the weekend nights seem to have. Someone hurt themselves on the 6 train, so I got there a bit late after trivia had started. I was pleasantly surprised to not see a bar full of frat stars but rather friendly laid back 20 somethings. I approached my friends at the table, apologized for being late and asked if they could pass me a food menu. And that's when I had to knock a star off from this place...THERE IS NO FOOD MENU. Okay now don't get me wrong. I'm not expecting to be able to order food at a dance club, but this place is clearly a bit of a dive bar where people go to watch sports, play trivia, watch a comedy show (this began right after trivia ended featuring the trivia host doing standup), or do karaoke (apparently this was coming up after the comedy show). I mean really, not even wings? Or mozzarella sticks? I know you can bring in food from outside but it just seemed pretty ridiculous for this kind of a place to not serve food. Huge con on the pros and cons list. Other than that, I did enjoy trivia. There was some weird questions, but they were interesting and pretty fun. The host was a bit annoying, I kind of got the "I'm pretty so boys always told me I was funny so now I think I'm funny even though I'm not really" vibe from her, but she was friendly and fairly competent as a host despite her many jokes that failed to land. There were some group questions which was great since we got to meet other people who were all pretty cool. The grand prize was a $50 bar tab which was great since my team ended up winning in the final round. Really though, lack of food really hurt the ratings. I just can't understand why they don't have any sort of bar menu. I'll come back for trivia for sure, but next time I'll get food elsewhere before.

    Ever since I started attending Trivia Tryst on Thursdays, Bar None has started to grow on me. But the slight sensation of douchery I got from this bar during my college years at NYU still linger in the back of my head, and I'm inclined to think that bartenders want to make good tips--not ignore you when you raise a hand and smile DIRECTLY at them. I'm sorry I don't have cleavage, I guess? The back area gets so loud and stuffy when the beer pong and dancing are both on, which--quite frankly--isn't a good idea. As Elizabeth T. mentions below, it's got to be a motherloving fire hazard, both in the front (with its unnecessarily and clumsily elevated area) and the back. There are certainly far worse; trivia night is cool, it maintains a laid-back divey atmosphere as long as you don't try and sniff out the douchebags and working girls (swear to god, the one we saw wasn't hiding that fact at all) and it certainly has more than enough TV's to spare. But the breathing room and ample seating of Nevada Smith's--even when that place is relatively packed--is much more desirable. What Matters On Tap: Yuengling, Brooklyn... er... next time I'm actually able to see the drafts, I'll let you know. Extracurriculars: Beer pong in the back; Trivia Tryst Thursdays

    $3 well in Union Sq?! Okayyyy! Definitely a D.I.V.E. but that's not stopping me from returning! The only thing that I found odd was the sign on the door that said "No Hats, No hoods, No boots." HOW DOES ONE STAY WARM!!!??? Haha I assume that is for late night when they are trying to weed out the slobs. Either way, the HH is too good to pass up.

    I was here on a Thursday night and it was completely DEAD. Rolling about 10 deep, my friends and I went to the back where all the good music was. They played a lot of greeeat music. There was a lot of dancing and I believe we had about three fishbowls that we all chugged down within seconds of it hitting the table, and there was also a pool table which was useful in a way that it filled up the empty room. Otherwise, the place was okay. Nothing special, but not as bad as I expected from reading the other reviews. However, I did go on a night that it was empty.

    Great dive.. often filled with college kids. I was here once for a birthday party and instead of sports or something entertaining on one of their TVs, it was tuned to a religious channel airing an interview with a priest.. So random I'll never forget it. This was around midnight on a Friday.

    Okay, I don't really do the reviews of places to go, but after experiencing a "fishbowl" I had to come on here and say how great the place is. Now lets be real, the decor isnt the best and the lopsided pool table in the back was sthe topic of conversation for a few moments after all of the balls rolled to the left side of the room. However, the drink was enough to keep my mind off of the table. We had a Blue Hawaiian in a fishbowl and shared it with 3 people. The next time I go, I will make sure that I have my own for the night. If you want to spend a set amount of money and have a good time with good music , this is a place to check out. Above all, the train station is a block and a half away. How much better can it get.

    This place is sort of a legend in New Orleans. Seriously. When I was telling my friends about visiting NYC, they all told me that I MUST stop in Bar None during a Saints game. Luckily, we were in town for such an occasion. We stopped in pretty early to scope the place out, and found our bartender to be kind and hilarious. We told him that we were visiting from Nola, and he gave us a free Abita coozie, and made us feel welcome with generous and delicious shots of whiskey. We left for awhile to grab dinner, and when we got back, the place was fully decorated in Who Dat gear, and filling up with Saints fans more and more by the second. We grabbed a seat up front (because the back is mostly reserved, which kinda sucks), and proceeded to get wasted and yell at the TV. New bartenders came on (all girls in low cut shirts), and they were efficient at refilling my giant glass of whiskey. The bar played New Orleansey music during commercials and big plays, and it definitely made me feel like I was home. The patrons were super cool, but reserved in that NYC kinda way. I would definitely recommend watching a Saints game here. I found out later that they are also a Viking bar, which is freaking weird, but I can't vouch for if that would be any fun.

    A great spot for cheap beer and great beer pong. Very divey, but you can have a great time with the right crowd.

    Cheap booze...cheap women...who could ask for more...but seriously, the staff is friendly and accomodating, the drinks are inexpensive by New York City standards a place you could call home.

    No. Bar None is not a viable option. I don't care if your best friends recommend it. Or if you happen to have some college kids with you and no other bars will let you in. Bar None is not a viable option. Remember those really seedy college bars when you needed to print fake IDs and all you wanted to do was drink cheap beer? Hm, what are the words that come to mind.... Sticky. Gross. Plastic cups and pitchers. Wet table tops. Spilled drinks. 80 degrees. Coat pile in the corner. Crowd at the bar. Oh yea - underage kids. Please, just walk on by. You're in New York City! I promise you'll find better than this.

    So this is now a "I just turned 21, lets go drinking legally" type of place...total turn off. They got rid of the beer pong tables and now it's just a "club" in the back. Even more people, even more expensive drinks, even more children... Sometimes I just want to go out and drink and have a good time, but when i'm cheek to cheek with some sweaty girl who is dancing her heart out like it's her first and last time out, that's where I draw the line. So long Bar None.

    DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR. My friends and i came for the cheap drinks during a bar crawl. At first we were having a good time until two guys came in and just STARED at us from across the room. We tried to ignore it even when one of them started hitting on one of my friends at the bar. At one point we were sitting at a booth and they literally blocked us in. My friends and I started to dance as the music picked up, and one of them GRABBED MY FRIEND without her permission. They continued to stare and creep up on us while we danced. When we told the bouncer, he said "oh, its okay, he's a cop." He completely ignored us. Girls, if you value your safety, DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR. No one will help you. Also to add, my friend called the manager. She did nothing.

    Bathroom doors don't close, and they stopped serving the fishbowls! Me and my friend round up not getting anything and just walked out.

    I REALLLLLLLYY wanted to like this place. The drinks were great the environment was friendly but this one thing just turned me OFF.. The DJ -_- . Now first things first, please let me say that i hope he is dj'ing for free because anyone who gives this man a salary is getting ripped off. As a city bar i expected to hear a variety. Techno rap reggae hiphop clubhouse ..hell, id even dance to latin music if they played it.but all he played was the same crap over n over .whats he use of having two macs when you have the same set of songs on them? We attempted to ask him to change the music, he switched the song once and went back to playing the same crap... Songs from 90s movies? Really? Where is your life? And we weren't the only ones that thought so either. We saw a few people go up to him and he would just brush them off.. Then some people invited us somewhere else, as majority of the sober people were leaving. Now im not going to lie, there were people on the dancefloor having a good time. But when your drunk, everything sounds good.

    Its bar. It has drinks. Hipster students, and sticky tables. That is my review.

    My God, this place is a fire hazard. It's always so friggen crowded, there are steps everywhere, and the layout is ridiculous. This is a clumsy girls worst nightmare. (Yes I am talking about myself.) I used to go to this place all the time before I was able to legally drink. Like many of the places I used to go to pre-21, I've outgrown Bar None. Not because I'm too sophisticated and fancy. Simply because I like to drink my entire drink without getting half of it spilt on me. This place could be tolerable when it's not completely packed but that's very rare.

    I like that the drinks are cheap-er (gin and tonic was $6 and a Coors light is $4) and the music they play is fun. However, the bar just seems dirty, even for a dive bar standard, and small.
