What a fun place...

by Angela Brown

What a fun place! After getting sat realized it's a pirate ship theme and details were impressive. We sat in one of the bench/cubie areas. The music was 90's/2000' hip/hop and R&B so we were jamming the entire time. The layout is unique and actually cool to have the restrooms 'upstairs' as you walk down you've got a great view. This would be a fun place to host a party to use that as a focal point. One of the best parts was the Peg Leg chart in the restroom. This had me going, I'd go back to spend more time and see how their other drinks are.

Great happy hour spot...

by Cindy W

Great happy hour spot! It's available Monday through Friday until 8 pm. You can get all-well drinks, beer on tap, a delicious painkiller frozen drink, and wine for just $8. It's also a fantastic place to host a gathering. I've been here for birthdays before, and the pirate ship-themed decor is really cool.

One of my friend groups favorite...

by Samantha K

One of my friend groups favorite bars in NYC! Came here to start the night for my birthday. When there was a mixup with my reservation, Jon and Jess went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. This place has amazing drinks, service, food and atmosphere. Can’t recommend it enough!
