Strong Drinks and Singalongs in the East Village

This East Village bar sets up a fast start with quick Asian fusion bites and famously strong drinks. It pulls students and locals into a packed room, where the soundtrack regularly prompts singalongs and groups settle at tight tables. Bring cash to use the discount, and expect a fast moving staff to keep the night from stalling.

The menu works for a low cost night out, while the bar keeps the room lively before a longer evening elsewhere. The hours split across the week, with Monday and Sunday from 4 PM to 11 PM, Tuesday through Thursday from half past four PM to half past eleven PM, and Friday and Saturday open from 4 PM until 1 AM. At 212 E 9th Street in the East Village, this is a busy meeting point for friends who want the room already warming up before the first round.
