Toad Hall

Had the best time here on Saturday night. Great pool table. Drinks a tad expensive, but hey, it's Soho. Female bartender with the curly hair was very attentive and friendly. Our whole group had fun.

Nice atmosphere except for the lady bartender with glasses who was unpleasant and made my partner and I feel unwelcome, and my beer was served with a piece of floating residue which I can only assume is the result of a dirty tap. Besides the unfriendly service, the other customers and a man, who I assumed is the owner, were kind and welcoming; I just wish the service had been more cordial.

Pool table is a vibe !! Ppl are a vibe !!! Socialize and enjoy the time we have !! 10/10 great spot it’s a vibe 100%

nice ipa but i waited 10 mins to be served despite no one was ordering, when I paid she took my 2 dollars change for “tips” without even asking.

Great Bar! Loved the atmosphere. Great Bartender. Hope I ever make it to go again. Felt like a traditional pub which Is love with great background music.

Stopped exploring when I saw this and it was well worth the stop! Local New York Pils “Ball Lightning” really lovely drink! #catskillbrewery

true dive, sticky counters and all. bartender was nice. good place to grab a cheap pint to pregame before a night in SoHo

First time here, I saw Joe LITERALLY give someone the shirt off his back. From then on, I was sold. Good Guinness double pour. Love too that they've got catskill lightning ball pilsner. A rare gem in this area. Fascinating patrons, had some fantastic conversations. Just get yourself in there, you won't be disappointed.

Toad Hall is a perfect bar. One of my favorites anywhere! Great drinks, great staff, reasonable prices

Looked like a cool place when walking by. Glad we went back. Brother lives in the neighborhood and had never been in. Good place to grab beers and cocktails

I'd say Toad Hall is a pretty average spot overall - not bad by any means, but I prefer the atmosphere of other dives in the area. Prices are on par with the neighborhood, and there's a $25 card minimum.. so keep in mind!

Cute, old pub feel where the bartender knows everyone's name. We stumbled upon this place midday and stopped for a quick drink. There's a pool table in the back, memorabilia from the moon landing, and original wood work. Great place for a cocktail or beer!

Great spot in Soho! A fun no frills spot for drinks and catching up with friends. Lots of seating and a pool table to hangout. Definitely come for happy hour!

Good vibes and great prices, they will gladly put whatever sport you are interested in on the screen

Just so authentic and down to earth. Very refreshing spot for a glass of wine and a conversation

Toad Hall is a really special place. I've met so many interesting people there over the years. Many times NYC can be busy as rush hour and a Saturday Night. then ultimately wear people out. Finding places to rest and enjoy is vital. Recharge the batteries. walking into the Bar room. one might get the feeling of stepping back in time. and that maybe kind spirits really do reside somewhere among the bar stools and pool table green. personal history's, and lives plaid out in joys and sorrows. here is to a pint, and shots with good friends. May the wind be at Your back. and the good times never end.

A dive in all the classic ways except for cheap drinks. Well tequila shots are $9, a draft beer is $8. And pool costs $1.50/round. Open until about 4am though so a late night spot to pop in if you need one.

Great local vibe. Good bartenders that know what they're doing. And a great pool table in the back. If you're in SOHO I recommend this saloon for drinks and conversations. It can get loud though, but I like that in a saloon.

We've been in town for a couple of days having traveled from Chicago to attend the Grief and Grievance exhibition at the New Museum. We'd been told that Toad Hall was a great place for beers, conversation and music. Is it ever! Bartender and host Joe greeted us warmly, took our temperatures, and served up our first round along with chips, a tin of Vienna sausages and a Hostess cupcake. Who does that? Brilliant! We felt safe, very welcome, and near "normal." Thank you Joe and Toad Hall.

Popped in here for a quick beer on our way uptown and ended up staying the whole night! Absolutely fantastic bar, the amazingly attentive bartender Taylor (cute brunette) somehow managed to anticipate our every want, all the while constantly wrangling a full bar of appropriately doting regulars. 1000% will revisit, there aren't enough of these bars in New York any more and I urge anyone to visit this gem while they can. If you have the great fortune to have the unbelievably charming Taylor as your bartender, then that's all the better. Also a great pool table and pretty challenging players.

It's a nice local spot with a good beer selection; Great vibes and service. They also have outdoor seating!

So cheap beer for the neighborhood, pool table, its a low key local joint. Cool bartender, relaxed music, what else you. want?

Great service from the bar staff, very decent prices for the neighborhood, and an eclectic crowd. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for somewhere unpretentious in the neighborhood.

Best Bartender! Nancy never saw us before but she bought us shots for our anniversary. Nice comfortable atmosphere with good neighborhood crowd.

After a long weekend in the city, I was looking for somewhere divey and close to my hotel. Toad Hall was right across the street. The people were friendly and the bartenders were attentive and quick.

Best place to play a game of pool and catch the game. Great beers and wonderful company.

Reminds me of my dive bars back home in Astoria. This place gives me joy when I walk in and joy in my pocket on the way out. Drinks were fairly cheap, bartender was down to earth like you like 'em, and overall vibe was something different that a hipster soHo Bar. This would most likely be my neighborhood bar if I lived in the area. Highly recommend if you want a low key type of establishment and a little more $ in your pocket.

This is where I want to go to shoot pool with strangers and have a cheap drink. The owner is incredibly friendly. The space is your typical dive, not loud, no snobby faces. If you have a group or 4 or more it's hit or miss. For pool, stock up on quarters or ask the bartender. They have no problem providing change.

It smelled like wet dog in here. I get it was raining the day I came here but it's rare to walk into a bar that absolutely reeks. The other people I was here with noticed you and we talked about it. It's an ok space and nice it has pool tables but the smell was really unnerving.

They don't like you if you're white collar. I ordered two tequila sodas from the bartendress with attitude on july 4th ... the bar was quiet other than some old local guys. The bartendress gave me a very weak pour. I tipped her $4. I went back in for another round and the pour was even weaker. I was wearing a button down shirt and she probably mistook me for one of the myriad young turk douchebags who have overtaken the town ... but I'm not ... and either way, should not have been given weak cocktails for the price I was paying. Unless you're a service contractor with dust on your shirt, avoid this place or you'll get treated badly.

This is definitely my new favorite bar! Spent the afternoon here with friends and Smoky took great care of us. Went back at night after a wedding and ended the night singing to Tay Tay's amazing playlist! Could barely talk this morning and it was worth it! Even though I live in NH I'll be going back to visit the toad!

Interesting place. Not much to say. Definitely a divey kind of bar. The bartender was friendly, but maybe a little too friendly. Stopped in for one drink and left.

First and last time visiting this bar. Went to go meet up with some friends who were already drinking. The bartender was an older woman, probably 60s? Who asked if we wanted a drink. We politely declined the first time as we weren't ready for a drink yet and we were there to meet up with friends to leave as a group. A couple of friends decided they wanted to join the others and get drinks as well. Myself and one other friend did not want any drink at the moment. The bartender came around and basically told us "you're at a bar, you have to buy a drink. You can't be in here just to hang out. We're a business and this is how we pay our rent." Appalled and disgusted by her comment, we left. 7/9 from our group were drinking and met the minimum $25 tab requirement. I don't see the issue of two people not drinking? Anyways, she was completely rude, passive aggressive and made us uncomfortable and our time there awful. For your own sake, find another dive bar in soho. If she keeps that attitude up, she'll have more trouble paying rent when she's kicking people out like that.

We stumbled on this place because we had an hour or so before our dinner reservations were to start and it didn't disappoint. We found space at the bar and sat down to ice cold drinks and good conversation. The bartenders were friendly and the atmosphere was light and fun. 2 college games were on the TV and someone from the French culinary academy made them a cake and while we were there they offered us some which was nice. The only thing negative I have to say is that is smelled a bit like a frat basement but that's ok and it is kinda what you expect when you go to a pub. I really enjoyed my time there and when I go back to the area and have some time to kill, I'll go back!

10/10 ten fanciest nicest bar around soho. Sensational - Atmosphere with Reminisce of candles and lavender. Taylor adds very much value to this establishment and Barry creates a semblance of excellence I would bring my parents to.

Tay... made us the most delicious Negronis on a Wednesday. She has impeccable style, excellent cocktail expertise and a generous spirit. Bless this place!!!

Came for a drink before dinner - perfect atmosphere. Tay is the most attentive and down to earth bartender I've met in New York. 10/10 would recommend.

After walking for a while we were looking to rest our feet for a spell and relax with a quick drink. As bars go, this place was solid. The bartender was way to cool for the rest of us but he made a good old fashioned and they had a very nice selection of bourbons and scotch.

I stumbled into Toad Hall while my wife was shopping in SoHo, and what a delight. The bartender was super personable and nice. Others at the bar were as well. Great pour of beer, a bowl of pub mix, and kind of blue on the airwaves. It started to snow while we were there and it was great to chat with a local about how the weather would affect the city. My wife ended up joining me for a couple of beers. So nice and friendly we stayed longer than intended.

I had a lot of fun at the bar, played pool (Lost a few games). But was súper shocked when the waitress yelled at me and asked me to "speak fucking English". I never saw that in NY, very sad

Toad Hall- I like you a lot and hate you a little. The likes? I was looking for a little neighborhood place and Toad Hall fit the bill to a "T". Our server was attentive and quick with the drinks and even later in the night when we had to go to the bar to get our own drinks (this should have been a clue . . .more on that later) the bartenders were great- remembering our order even though the place was packed. I liked the pool table in the back (even though my pool playing left much to be desired!) and here's a hint- if you are looking for a place to sit- there is bench seating in the back that makes it easy to find a place to perch and to catch up with friends. So why do I hate you a little? First, the restrooms are just bad. Two unisex bathrooms situated in the middle of the bar make rest stop restrooms look good. The smell alone could make lesser women weep. And the other thing? I wish someone had told me that this city truly "never sleeps". When I finally looked at my watch and it was 5am and last call had still not been uttered- I knew I was in trouble. Oh Toad Hall- how I love to hate you. And I hate my inability to leave you at a reasonable hour!

Just awesome. Get a hot toddy or an Irish coffee here when you're freezing your ass off outside! Joe was a great bartender and provided wonderful service and conversation. Great vibes, music, no complaints at all. Our new favorite spot to hang and kill a few hours.

Honestly a horrible experience. I'm all about the surly bartender but the woman working Saturday night with the glasses and the Clemson hoodie was absolutely miserable. Sorry we stopped in? Didn't mean to bother you. Maybe take your own advice, and be nice or leave....

Lovely cozy place tucked away near the Soho Grand Hotel and Cafe Felix. Love the old bar, the dark warm wood and the friendly service. Very nice staff and good people.

We heard about this bar from a neighboring bartender... we stopped in just to check it out for a drink...we stayed WAY LONGER than anticipated. The experience was wonderful! Joe is fabulous. We will tell all of our local friends about this gem for sure!

Deep, dark, divey, and meets all your local pub needs. Pool table in the back room. Great music - kicks off the evening with some old rock, and as it gets toward make-out hour they round out the evening with Marvin Gaye's crooning. The bartender had a solid read on the crowd, and he knew I was not a beer girl. Made me some blueberry vodka lemonade that did the trick. He was chill, unpretentious, and honestly is the reason why I added a star. I asked him about the name, hoping and hoping that it has something to do with Wind in the Willows. And sure enough, it does. And I love that.

Such a classic, no frills dive. Owner and staff are so welcoming. Taylor is the most fun and warm bartender. Great outdoor setup with heaters. Please go support this old school NYC gem.

Awesome little dive bar, great vibe. CASH ONLY! ATM mounted on the wall. One of my spots anytime I'm in SOHO. Oh and right next door? Banging little Mexican spot!! Check it out!

Where have you been all my life? i love a good old school, divey bar that's got some panache to it. I have not been on a Friday or Saturday night at about midnight to see if gets completely annoying and stupid, so i can't give it a 4 star rating (yet). But i really liked the atmosphere, was pleased to see that their wine selection was quite nice (most dive bars you don't go to for the wine) and the staff was friendly without being cheesey or intrusive. definitely going back soon.

Another place I wouldn't go to, but someone chose this place for an after hour group drinks and right when E and I walked in, we're like let's split and go somewhere else...but P convinced us to stay and so E, S and I hung around and watched our group play pool. I knew this place definitely would not have "fruity" drinks, but for some reason I asked and the bartender looked at me like I was crazy. I figured, so whatever...S and I got a Stoli and Soda - OMG, Joe, the bartender totally made it strong. Normally, people wouldn't complain about their drinks being strong, but I am not a huge fan of alcohol if it doesn't taste like fruit and so this drink took me forever to finish. I was happy to know they carry Patron Cafe - shots for everyone. Joe - bartender....totally cool! I just wish this place has fruity drinks.

I've been here a few times in the past to have some beers and play pool. Not typically an area in town I hang out in and thought I would grab a drink before I headed to a fashion week event I was attending. My friend and I showed the female bartender ID and vaccination card happily but she was looking at us like we were doing something wrong. She definitely did not like us based on how we're were dressed and I felt very uncomfortable. My friend wasn't sure what to order so I went ahead first and asked if I could have a vodka Red Bull (not my typical drink but I needed some caffeine) and she retorted extremely rudely that they didn't have Red Bull like I had asked her for the most ridiculous thing in the world and seemed to mock me. Judging from other reviews it seems this woman is very unpleasant, not sure why she has a job in the service industry and I wouldn't be inclined to come back again.

How the hell does this place still exist in SoHo? It's a regular anomaly. Sitting in some of the most expensive real estate in the world, is this little dive bar with tons of character. It's a fantastic place to rest and center oneself in the maelstrom.

Best bar in New York!! So chill and authentic. Very casual. Great crowd there as well and the bartender gentleman is a real gem.

If you're looking for a late-night divey drink spot in TriBeCa, try this place out. Cheap beers, wobbly tables, a back room with a pool table... and doors that close in the wee hours of the morning.

From Texas. This is the greatest bar we found in NYC. Holler at Smokey or Victor and sit for a while and enjoy this place!!

Can't really pinpoint why we went 3 times while in NYC Just kept going back Its a winner!

We went there on a Sunday night, they were the only place that was still open around 1am. We had 10 people and were able to sit. Great place to hang out. We were there till 3:30am! (Bar suppose to close at 3am I think) Beer selections are average, but we are fine with that. Recommend this place!
