This place definitely met expectations but didn't blow me away - came for Wednesday trivia night (begins at 8:00pm) last night. I'm not sure if it's a daily special or just on Wednesdays, but Bud Lights were $1 until midnight and were actually served cold and in glasses. It's a pretty hard-to-beat deal. Other drinks were priced pretty typical by Manhattan standards.
The trivia was pretty challenging and categories ranged from literature, sports, art, etc. There are four rounds and you basically assign a point value to each of the four questions in a round (for the first two rounds for instance: 1, 3, 5 or 7) depending on how confident you are with your answer. There were a few special event type parts, like at one point they handed out sheets with 10 pictures from different movies and you had to identify the movie. I would have preferred less sports trivia but that's totally just me and my complete lack of knowledge in that area.
The crowd was pleasant and friendly and the worker reading the questions was funny and entertaining. It was definitely a positive vibe. The bar was a little cramped but honestly not as bad as I would have expected. After the trivia ended around 10:30 or so the bar started karaoke.
I would definitely come back in a heartbeat for a fun, cheap, and easy trivia night. I think between the three of us we maybe spent $15 total. Next time I'll be sure to bring along a guy who knows sports so I don't come in dead last again LOL.
1 star off for pretty dirty and unkempt restrooms. To quote my boyfriend after I commented that he was so fast there was no way he could have washed his hands: "Are you kidding? My hands were the cleanest thing in there!"
Note: the bar has a $20 minimum on cards. Either bring cash or split a tab with your friends.
