Live music, pool, trivia, and late-night drinks in a dive bar
"If you want to throw a serious banger on the Lower East Side, there’s no better place than Parkside Lounge, which is open until 4am every night. The dive has been around since 1956, and looks it, with an accumulation of assorted random signs on the walls of the main room in front. Their rentable back room, which also hosts comedy and music events, is big enough for a mid-sized wedding, and relaxed enough for a birthday party of any (legal drinking) age." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja
"Parkside Lounge is the king of LES dive bars. It’s a great place to watch sports, play some pool, have a drink outside, or see live music and other performances any night of the week. They also do trivia on Wednesdays and are open until 4am every day, but we like this bar best on quiet weeknights when we can sip on a High Life and catch up with a friend. Even though the space is pretty big (with Christmas lights hung up everywhere), it gets crowded on weekends, but the crowd never gets too rowdy." - bryan kim, hannah albertine

"The Lower East Side dive should be celebrated for its dog-friendly policies: 'In the summertime, they set up two doggy swimming pools outside,' Karla notes." - Chris Crowley, James and Karla Murray
