Sophie's

I ordered an $8 drink. Except they conveniently waited until after to mention a $20 minimum. Then the bartender cancels my transaction because I didn’t tip. And just to make sure I really got the message, she goes ahead and tips herself $6 without my consent. Bottom line, I wanted one drink, ended up paying $26 for a vodka soda and horrible service.

Bartender cannot serve basic drinks without having a mental breakdown. People hogging the one pool table the entire night. We left immediately after 5 minutes. This place does not make any sense

asked the bartender to check a bottle to see if it’s kosher and she completely snapped at me… don’t know what her issue was and then proceeded to kick my friends and I out of the bar. usually love coming here though. that was very unpleasant.

This place is horrible. You’re telling me in the entirety of NYC you can’t find better bartenders? They add more to your tip if they don’t like the amount, probably illegal. Judging by the other reviews can’t imagine that will change anytime soon. Considering majority of the good reviews are “local guides” I wouldn’t believe it for a second. Avoid it, save yourself the time.

As other people have been saying, the bartenders are literally the rudest I have ever encountered in my whole life, like straight up stopped the music to scream at my friends and also laughed in my face and my friends when we ordered drinks they didn’t make??? Claims “we’re a dive bar sweetie we don’t make that” mockingly and then offers to make something else on the fly, then turns to some other patrons, literally crap talks us to them, and laughs in front of our face?? What kind of dive bar has a $20 card minimum and 20% -35% tip options… it’s embarrassing girl. If you are old and like a place where everyone is rude to make themselves feel better bc they work in the dingiest bar ever this is the place for you❤️

One of the cities best neighborhood dives, TV’s in the corner, weathered wooden bar, classic pool table in the back and cheap drinks with no nonsense bartenders. You could write a move about how aesthetic this place is.

Fun bar with some good prices! Some of their beer options were only $5 but there's a $20 minimum on purchases which is a little annoying. Pool table looked fun but we didn't get a chance to play this visit.

Sophie's is always a good place to go and have a drink or three. Not fancy but that's the point, doesn't need to be. Always a friendly bartender.
