Editorial reviews from the web (3)

Calling B-Side a dive bar actually gives it too much credit: if it were any skeevier and more low-rent, it would be a movie set. Still, there is no friendlier (or cheaper) place to drink, especially in the northern reaches of Alphabet City.

Dingy walls, a tin ceiling, and enough red lights to tint your Rheingold bloody. Indie rock crowd has the look, if not the cred. Blinkie beckons from the Pac-Man up front while wannabe Fast Eddies corral the felt in back. Improve the mood by bumping the bartender's emo mix with a Buzzcocks track from the punk-laden juke. PBR can and a shwaggy shot o' whiskey for $5.

A no-frills East Village watering hole draws an older neighborhood crowd of the rock-and-roll kind.

Pleasant exterior. Everything else dreadful

I asked for a cafe au lait and was served warm dish water covered in chocolate. The scone was stale and the internet didn't work. All that for a ridiculous $6.50
I won't be back.

Good bar but the juke box fucking sucks!!!

If you miss happy hour, don't worry: $ will get you a PBR and a shot of house whiskey any time.

Great place to get cheap beer and a lot of whiskey. Love this place

Cheap PBR-and-whiskey pairings and an “eclectic” jukebox make hipsters happy at this “chill” Alphabet City dive; other attractions include foosball and “weeknight movies” screened by “friendly” staffers who “know almost everyone by name.”

The Extras

For better boho flavor, head down Essex to the Library for a great jukebox and a younger, more energetic neighborhood crowd.

Save Money

Enjoy two-for-one well drinks and beer between 3pm and 8pm daily. For the ultra thrifty, there's always the $5 "B-Side Beer/Shot," which consists of a can of PBR--what else?--paired with a shot of the most throat-burning whiskey this side of Appalachia.
