"Tap a Keg is the perfect local spot—super welcoming even if it’s your first time. ​Great Beer: A solid, well-curated selection. ​Top-Tier Cocktails: The late-evening bartender makes a killer Old Fashioned. Perfectly balanced and professional. ​Perfect Location: Right next door to the jazz club. It’s the ideal spot for a pre-show drink or a nightcap after the final set. ​If you’re in the neighborhood, definitely grab a stool here!"

"update; the scene at this bar almost got better post pandemic. the pool is just as serious and the crowd is a bit more lively then i remember. don't expect a group of college arsholes to pull up because they usually right away when they realize they're not new york enough to stay. didn't know they have a chess board in house. strongly implore ya to get tacos from the mexican deli right down to the right- some of the best tacos in the city!!!!! they're popcorn mix is tasty though. they throw goldfish and popcorners in it so it's salty and dope great dive bar and the tenders are usually funny and brute. good spot for serious pool players"

"This place was awesome! Me and my mate popped it as it opened with the intention of just having a quick drink but didn't end up leaving until six and a half hours later! Caitlin the barmaid was lovely, entertaining and really helpful. As two tourists in a locals bar we were really made to feel welcome. Can't recommend the place enough."

"No frills dive bar with a pool table which isn’t easy to find in Manhattan and good dive bar music. Be prepared to pay Manhattan prices on the drinks."
