One of the best dive bars in NYC. Would recommend stopping if you're in TriBeCa or Chinatown - Whiskey, beer or another libation! Super atmosphere and relaxed vibe. Don't hesitate to grab a table in the mezzanine overlooking the bar. The eats ain't so bad too! read more

Love this place! super close to the canal street stops! despite how packed it might be on a saturday, the person working the bar downstairs kept things in check and organized. fast drinks, cheap prices. food isnt anything special, but it hits the spot, and makes for a great snack. PS they have an array of choices for craft hot sauces - i was impressed. would come back in a heartbeat! read more

I love Nancy's pub!!! One of my favorite pubs here in the city. The tuna sandwich was delicious!!!! With a nice crisp glass of Sauvignon blanc. The bartender is a sweet woman and very attentive. Nancy's pub is quaint and cozy. You wouldn't know it's there unless you knew it was there. read more

A lot of character in this little pub. I was a big fan of the upstairs loft area, accessible only by a narrow staircase that you have to duck as you walk up lest you hit your head. Decor is fun and eclectic, plus there's a shuffleboard table. The draft beers were a little pricier than I was hoping and I think my Guinness ending up setting me back $11 after tax and tip. read more

10/10 Erin the bartender is the nicest and best person I've ever interacted with. If you write this place a bad review you have brain damage

If I could leave a 0 star review i would. Went here with about 7 people. Bar was not crowded. Went to sit at the bar bc plenty of seats were open. Bartender (redhead woman) asked me what drink i wanted and my friend next to me said "no i already ordered his drink". Without warning, bartender proceeded to yell at me and my friends to not sit at the bar if we're not getting anything. (As i said i was getting something my friends was just covering it on his tab.) when my friends and i responded by kinda joking ab ridiculous she was being she started scolding and yelling at everyone and demanding to see our IDs (after already serving us earlier) (my friends and I are all in our mid twenties). Needless to say, I will never come back here bc of that woman and recommend no one else does either. Ruined our day. Awful. read more

Bartender incredibly rude. We were just having a good time on a Sunday afternoon after a couple of friends finished a half marathon and we were playing the shuffle board game and they asked us to keep it down. Now I would understand if we were incredibly drunk or loud but honestly we just had a couple of drinks and we were just having a good time. Drinks weren't event than good. Will not be back. Bar weirdly small. Kinda didn't like it at all. Everyone very rude. read more

This place is 100% just a classic dive bar in a good way! It was small place but had decent bar seating and a few tables. It also had a shuffle board which was fun to play. We didn't order food so I can't speak to that but all of the drinks we got were good! Additionally, the drinks were super affordable especially for NYC. The bartender was nice and also did a great job of managing all the orders alone even when it got busy. read more

I visited this pub last weekend and had such a fun time! The place was buzzing with Halloween decor and people dressed up in costumes. My friends and I wanted to visit Blood Manor for their haunted house and this was the perfect place to hang out before. The drinks were tasty (but maybe not too strong). The bartender was really nice, she was quick with our order and had some good recommendations including their frozen spiked coffee and frozen marg. read more

Cozy little pub right near the shops on Canal, the perfect place to escape the elements and grab a bite before heading back out to face the madness. I've missed this place since I stopped by with a buddy in January, from the warmth of the bartender to how ice-cold my beer was. The food is standard pub food so if it doesn't blow you away, then maybe one of the many hot sauces offered behind the bar will. Can't wait to find myself around here again so I can come back. read more

Great whiskey & scotch selection, best prices in the TriBeCa neighborhood, great burgers, wings, and fries, and delightfully tacky decor. What else could you possible ask for in a dive bar? Great ambiance, history, and vibe. You can trust any place that has a shuffle board to make for fun times, and the music is all over the place (in a good way). If you're ever in the neighborhood, this is your dive bar after a long day at the office, or while waiting to meet a friend, or to even just spend your whole time here. It's a hoot. read more

Some co-workers and I ventured out to this pub in a storm from the hotel to have a drink (or two) and debrief from a business-y day. It was like a scene from a movie where we ran in the door, slammed it shut behind us, and genuinely welcomed to their establishment and thanked for braving the weather to pay them a visit. How nice. A double of Tullamore Dew for me, Basil Hayden, and Woodford with a few ice cubes for round one and we were set. I switched it up to a Dark and Stormy to represent the weather for round 2 and they were Brought over to the table. It was a nice, quiet place to have a discussion without yelling over music or what some people call music. I'd totally go back if I was in the area. Thanks to the staff for the friendly, excellent service. read more

By far my favorite bar downtown! Nowhere comes close, like any review I always start with the staff, Alec/Tommy & Melissa are always a pleasure to see at the end of a long day! Great whiskey & scotch selection, best prices in the TriBeCa neighborhood! Food is amazing, my go to is their Flounder Basket it's a must try, their wings & burger are also 10/10! French fries are A1. Great ambiance, it's a gem. Great history, and vibe. The shuffle board table always makes for a fun time with friends and the music is on point! If you're ever in the neighborhood you must stop by! read more

I love this place!! It is a classic local bar that we see less and less in Manhattan. It is the perfect local bar. The staff is attentive and it offers a great range of edibles from the kitchen. Check it out read more

After dinner and cocktails at Spring Place I was excited to head back to Ben's "small place" on Franklin. He had the trifecta in Tribeca the ladies want. Over 6ft, family money and he didn't once mention crypto currency or interest rates on the first 2 dates. (Yes this trifecta exists in other neighborhoods too like Brooklyn heights or the west village, but I tend to redecorate every year or so, so I don't want to hear about how we can't throw away your great aunts floral couch...I'm sorry it's gotta go.)He was doing well. The bar is low guys. It also didn't hurt that when I Google'd him his grandmas AD tour of the family Nantucket house showed up....it was on the first page I didn't even scroll. So when he said let's grab one more I was concerned I hadn't given the right vibes...I wanted to go to his place. I had the perfect outfit combo of sexy librarian yet respectable mate for grandma to meet, only one coat of lip gloss to prove I cared about my looks but not too much. Respectable 2 inch Tom ford era Gucci sandals and some vintage Celine, with my blue light glasses. When he opened the door to Nancy's I knew this place was a good vibe. Billy Joel was playing, a mix of teamsters and finance bros filled the place. He grabbed my hand and took me to the second floor. From our perch we watched and ate more. Tequila sodas appear along with mozz sticks and pizza. Ben wasn't fighting fair. I wanted him now. I pictured sitting on his grandmas patio, she called a veranda, sipping a south side as Ben brought me chicken nuggets this summer, it, he was perfect. I said I had to use the rest room (the only thing I don't recommend about this place is their bathroom), instead I went to the bar and paid the bill. Walked back upstairs and whispered in his ear "we are going to your place now". He nodded. I think I may have a beach house/boyfriend for the summer. Guys take girls to Nancy's. It's a sure thing. Girls this place is full of cute tall guys. Bonus points if they have a 2500sqft place down the street like Ben read more

Best dive bar. It may be about the cheapest bar in the city. Nancy Whiskey Pub is a longtime favorite. Lots of names are scribbled on the walls everywhere. The bathrooms are scary but it's fun to read the walls. A lot of action takes place at the main bar. It gets crowded. This is hard to find a seat at even in the afternoon so you can imagine how crazy it is at happy hour. By the name of the place you can also imagine whiskey is the drink of choice. They have tons of the common brands plus more select versions. It's about $3 for wells at happy hour, and that's about the cheapest you can get in the city. The more select stuff like the Jameson Black Barrel is about $10 or so. Food is typical stuff that's greasy and fried. Things like burgers, fries, and wings. Another room is located upstairs and it's cramped. The ceiling is extra low so grab a seat and sit. It also has fun activities. Shuffleboard is a popular game. They have tournaments. read more

We were visiting NYC in early February from Phoenix and lets just say... it was cold! We wanted to do some shopping, but thought a little warming of the body (inside and out) would help loosen up our minds and pockets (It's NYC, shop til you drop y'all). We found Nancy's Whiskey Pub on the corner and it turned out that this place was JUST what we were looking for. This establishment is nothing fancy, not gonna find $18 cocktails here (if you do, you won't be leaving on your own two feet), but it was cozy, warm, and everyone there was super chill. Our bartender (forgot her name, I'm sorry!) was amazing, she poured us some hot apple cider with bourbon in it (should go without saying), and we chatted with her for a couple of hours. Having a great bartender can turn a good bar into a great and memorable bar, and this place had just that! We ended up staying a little longer than anticipated (it happens), but eventually made our way back into the cold feeling warm and refreshed and had a great day of shopping and wandering around NYC. The bar itself was great, but the bartender really made the whole experience, so if you see this, thank you! read more

We spent one night in Soho after our cruise ended in NY harbor so I stopped in for a pre-dinner cocktail and was reminded of the exceptional service one can find in this city. I asked the bartender if she was the owner because she took my drink order with such care. She wasn't but she did own a lovely Irish accent. I can confirm that the ambiance here is dive bar in the most positive sense of the term. read more

22 year old friend visiting from UK for the first time did not leave a tip on a couple of drinks and was told to 'get the f out' and verbally abused until she did. Friend was visibly embarassed and shaken and when I spoke to the manager, I reminded her that regardless of the situation tipping was still voluntary. She told that if you don't have the money to tip you should 'buy a bottle and stay in'. But if you wanna spend your night with a thick throng of local financier frat boys pretending they're in a dive bar and overtipping on bud light, this is your place. read more

I was visiting NYC on business and needed a place to watch the Pittsburgh Penguins vs. New York Rangers playoff game. This place came up as being open late and very close to my hotel. All I really needed as a place I could enjoy the game and have a beer without breaking the bank. This place turned out to fit that bill perfectly. Despite having a very crowded inside for a Monday night I was able to find a seat in a corner. There are a few TVs inside that made it easy to find an angle that worked to watch. The service was surprisingly quick for only having 2 bartenders for a very packed place. Cannot speak to the food but can speak to the atmosphere for a pub to watch sports in, it's great! read more

The man at the door told us to "f*** off" after the most awkward exchange that began with him asking "where are you from" to a POC. Management did nothing to assist and he could not have been more rude. Needless to say, mostly white bar, will never step foot here. ZERO stars. And I never leave reviews. read more

I've been here a few times and I like this place. It's a dive bar, narrow and long with a shuffleboard table, a juke box and an upstairs alcove with a few tables. It has a small curb patio and that's great for hanging out on a summer night in New York City. I like the looks, huge American flag above the bar and on the opposite wall a sign reads "F... Communism". Except for last the last couple of times when the bartender was this blonde woman clearly inebriated. Typically, a brunette bartender (Nancy?) mans the bar. The drinks are affordable for New York - $9 for a whiskey in NY??? Unheard of. It has an interesting food menu, but I always come after dinner for a nightcap before turning in so I haven't tried the noshings yet, but I see they are well spoken of in other reviews. read more

AWESOME low-key neighborhood joint - the Guinness is fresh, the comfort level is *chef's kiss*, and the food has NO business being as good as it is. Went on a warm weekday night, which was poppin, and it was run smoothly and efficiently af by a lone majestic madam bartender and the fire-slinging chef. Covid almost made me forget memories of comfort, fun, and fuzzy feelings at bars like this, but Nancy's revived them real quick. To the last reviewer Chris S. and anyone leaving 1 star reviews on Yelp - this is an open letter to you. Check your life. These businesses have moved mountains to open and stay alive making it as a small biz in NYC, let alone operate during a global scale pandemic. What is running through your brain that compels you to go through the trouble of typing out such non-opinions and spreading negativity sans critical feedback and then sharing it for everyone with internet access to see? For what purpose? You need a friend? You need a therapist? Y'all not raised right or what? Sad lol I hope the people behind accounts like that have a better day because your misery and discontent in your own lives are oozing out of your shitty, misspelled, tepid Yelp comments. Also, why you do dat on Yelp, go to reddit to be angsty like the rest of us. read more

Strolled in here randomly after having dinner at Tamarind near by. It definitely feels like a local watering hole that caters to the neighborhood. I suggest going in with an open mind not expecting anything and acting like a local and you'll be fine . We sat down for one drink and ended staying for 3+ drinks, because the service was great, no extra bs, just real people, having a good time . Ambience is interesting enough to keep you curious. I'll will definitely go back if I'm in the neighborhood again . read more

Ok bar. Just watch out for the tabs you guys have here at this place.

3 of us went here over the weekend for drinks. Probably the best value in NYC. Erin our bartender was amazing! We ended up going Saturday and Sunday because we enjoyed it so much.

Super rude... asked for the beer list. Was given an extremely rude response of "if you don't know, you don't belong." After waiting for so long, they didn't serve a group of people waiting because they "sounded different". Yes, they were not native speakers... and kicked the group out of the bar. Tried speaking to the manager... she was just as abrasive and ugly (inside and out). Would never come back. Please never come here. read more
