    Dive bar with a cool vibe. We sat in the window area and crept on the people walking by. Their internet wasn't working when we were there, so it was cash only that night. The bartender was friendly. They also allow you to bring food in if you want.

    Personality is the first word that comes to mind when thinking about this dive bar. Graffiti, cavernous ambiance, pool table in the back, in-your-face attitude. They even have "ass juice" (some sort of fruit punch) for just $4, if you're into it. You certainly don't come here for their beer selection, but more looking for a place to mind your own freaking business and be left alone. So indulge yourself here enjoying a peaceful drink while listening to cool tunes. True, you may get distracted by their small tv showing x-rated scenes you most surely won't find (almost) anywhere else, but this is part of the experience at Double Down Saloon. Feeling like you need a different night? This is the place you wanna be. Oh... forgot to mention: it's a CYOP bar (clean your own puke).

    We always stop by the Double Down Saloon whenever we're in town. The bartenders are always friendly and the prices are good. Try to ass juice

    A super divey dive bar that I was told was a rite of passage for visitors to the Lower East Side. Came here on the way to another bar and we all took a shot of their special Assjuice (this tasted like pineapple and you couldn't really tell what liquors were used). Plenty of indoor seating and the crowd was quite eclectic. They have games as well as TVs.

    Cheap dive bars are really hard to find these days. This one pretty much fits the bill and I'm kind of floored that I've never been here. Everything is $2 off until 8pm. Which rounds everything on tap out to be about $5. After happy hour ends there's canned beer for $4 and something as well called 'ass juice'. I was tempted. Trust me. I was tempted. But the ass juice will have to wait for another day. Someone said it tastes sweet. But they didn't comment on if it's actually good or not. It was just a 'it's sweet/no comment' kind of description. There's a pool table in the back and I guess they allow outside food because they didn't seem to have a problem when I brought in slices from a $1.50 pizza shop next door. Wasn't too crowded when I went and surprisingly more sanitary than other dives I've been to. So kuddos for that.

    If dive bars are your vibes, this place is for you. Cheap drinks during happy hour and the bartenders are super nice. Cool place to check out if you want to grab a drink and chitchat with your friends

    Cheap dive bar drinks!

    Love this dive bar. They have multiple TVs with Porn on 24/7, so naturally I like to bring my first dates here when they ask for my suggestion. LOVE seeing their face if/when they become uncomfortable with sex paraphernalia in public, muhaha Nothing fancy. Ass Juice shots are $4 and delicious! 2 pool tables and loads of whiskey. My ultimate favorite bar in downtown Manhattan. And come here far too often!

It's a classic after-work watering hole for the finance workers, consultants, and attorneys who populate the area. The decor is awesome, and makes you feel fuzzy and at home!!! But let's talk about the real star of the show: the burger. I've had my fair share of burgers in NYC, but this one takes the cake. The patty is juicy and flavorful, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of char on the outside. The bun is soft and pillowy, holding everything together without getting soggy. And the bacon is mmm mmmmmmm PERFECT!!! Trust me when I say it's worth braving the sea of suits just to get your hands on one of these bad boys. So if you find yourself in Chinatown after work or on a weekend night out with friends (or even alone), do yourself a favor and stop by Whiskey Tavern for some great drinks (not watered down!) and an unforgettable burger experience. You won't regret it! But the REAL reason this place is so special is the PEOPLE. This place is like the bar from that show "Cheers", but in 2026! Just the most amazing people Ever running the show. Their professionalism and personalities make the food and drinks that much more deliciousSometimes you wana go, where everybody knows your naaammmmeee.....sometimes you wana go to WHISKEY TAVERN!!!!!!!!

Upon arriving, I was immediately greeted by the manager and other staff to make sure I was all settled for my party, which I really appreciated. This space has a partnership with a pizza place up the street to order food but also provides flexibility to bring in your own food which a lot of places do not allow. They also allowed me to bring balloons and cake which many places also don't allow. I had around 40 people and there was plenty of space to sit down or stand. It wasn't too loud so I was able to have a conversation with friends while also enjoying the music. The music was great and we even stayed afterwards to enjoy the DJ and the vibes were still strong. If you're looking for a private space, this is the perfect spot for your party! My friends are still talking about how cool this space was and were very impressed!
