Beter before it was redone

Average Rating

I frequented Puff's before the renovations a few years back (I am proud to say I broke the ladies room sink, ty KL, lol) And it was a great place then, a real tavern feel, neighborhood bar, great and interesting locals and a place you could sit down (wow) and hear (wow) someone speak. After the renovations and new publicity it lost a lot of the old charm and gained a lot of ""suits"". Too bad. But I'll have my memories.

Pros

+ The service is still great

Cons

- What happened to the old Puffy's??

Great Party

Average Rating

100

I went to Puffys last week for a friends birthday party and had a great time.
I will definitely plan part of my birthday party there. The music was great,
the bartenders were playing Dj behind the bar and the crowd was cool.
I did not expect it to get that crazy and have such a nice crowd. We were
there somewhat early, then the place got crowded and the music got louder.
Much easier than getting into a club with a big group and the drinks are bar prices
not ridiculous club prices. Great neighborhood. Great Bar.

Pros

+ Great vibe.

I have gone to puffy's for many years on and off. I have drowned my sorrows there many a night. The last time I was there the older irish sounding bartender said to me ""It's time for your medicine"" and I felt like the doctor was in. On a weekday night you may see some cute business type women here hanging out after work. It's usually never really crowded and sometimes on a friday or saturday night there might only be a few people in there. This bar has been used for some movies and has been in the same spot for close to 60 plus years. The bar was renovated somewhat in the past few years....

I love puffys. I had been there a couple times in the past just grabbing a drink after
dinner in the neighborhood(a bunch of great restaraunts in Tribeca). I went to a friend
of a friends birthday a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. We decided to check
it out saturday night and had a blast. They were playing alot of 80's music and everyone
was singing and dancing. The place had a great vibe. The bartenders seemed very fun
and friendly. As far as the drinks, I enjoyed mine and they gave us a round of shots that were
great. If you want to go out downtown and want a fun bar, I...

Most Laid-Back Place In Town!

I love this place! It's the only laid-back place in the neighborhood where you can watch the football games early during the day, while accompanied by good conversations. I could probably go into this bar by myself and feel at home. The cute bartender who's name was Sabrina, was quick to pour a drink, tentative, and had a GREAT personality!!!

I wasn't sure if they'd be open since their hours say 4pm, but I guess they're open at 1pm on the weekends for the football games. Good beer variety, atmosphere is laid-back, and the bartender is awesome. What more could you ask for? I will...
