    I can't really say what led us here this past weekend other than after a non-alcoholic brunch we decided to grab a drink. And figuring out where to grab a drink in the west village turned into a long game of indecisiveness and then we ended up here somehow. Out of all of the college bar franchise chains this business owns this one has always been notorious for not being the best of the bunch. Not that any of them are that great. But they seemingly are a college bar with the worst deals. I think everything was $10 basically. Or the deal of the day was a miller high life or nutrl seltzer and a shot for $10. You'll have better luck on happy hour maybe but then 3 sheets and down the hatch (same owners/same vibe) down the block have better deals round the clock. I think I was aware of this even in my 20's and not sure what led me to trepidatiously coming back other than to witness a gaggle of girls and one guy order buckets of hard seltzers and take photos with their ring lights over the spectacle. Otherwise, the bar was shockingly completely empty. Maybe the NYU kids have moved on to bougier ventures.

    Great price!! Beer was only $5! Fun vibe on Macdougal street. Would want to come back for the beat the clock offer!

    Going to make this short and sweet. Ordered a Hendricks and soda - the first sip? There's absolutely no way that's Hendricks... no way. I drink Hendricks enough to know the flavor and that wasn't it. Not sure how this place operates but you're definitely not getting what you ordered... unless it's bottom of the barrel. Next...

    If you want to relive your college days as a partying frat boy or sorority girl this is your bar! Nothing wrong with reliving the fun days before adulting really had to start. Along with bills, responsibilities, and real life. 14 beers on tap, happy hour until 7 pm, beer and a shot for $10 deal, pub grub. Typical beer selection but nothing craft wise which will blow you away. Seltzer beers, red bull, and college drunkenness kind of place. Decent mix of old and new rock playing. Plenty of flat screens with the games on. Booths to hang out in with your crew. Upstairs bar area too. Yeah, it's loud in here but that's what's expected of a college targeted party bar.

    Stumbled into this bar walking around this area waiting for show to start. Got sucked in by the happy house of $2 off all bar items 5-7pm Monday to Friday. The bar tender was super friendly it has a dive bar vibe very bro kinda sports bar. A lot of people were here for a drink before the show at this hour.

    This place is so awesome. Solid food. The drinks were all fairly priced. So many tvs for the games. Highly recommend.

    Enjoyed a fantastic St. Patrick's Day at Off The Wagon. Jordan, our waiter was fantastic. He helped us the entire night. The food is incredible. Complements to the chef AND bartender. COVID-19 safety measures in place outside and indoors.

    Decent bar to grab a drink. Offers a laidback atmosphere, good pricing for NYC, and a cool location in Greenwich village. As the bartender says "it's a party bar not a cocktail bar" so they only offer your beers and basic cocktails nothing fancy.

    I've been coming here for a while now but haven't been in about 6 years. Once I walked in I was met with the same exact vibe as if I never left. They play great alternative oldies. The bartenders have always given great service and the drinks are affordable for the bar being located near w4. I'm here with my wife and it's definitely our kind of date spot. A wooden bar, good music, delicious drinks and a chill vibe. Definitely an after work spot for its happy hour, and it's clean for an NY bar. There's two levels and tvs located on almost every wall, giving you the best of all sports. I love coming here for a drink before heading to the Christopher street pier. Check it out!

    Eric, Eddie, and Ryan are very down-to-earth, friendly bartenders who made my friends and me feel very welcome. Thank you for taking special care of us and our entire cohort, especially among such a large crowd. Things to know before coming here - there are no outlets, but there's a pay-to-use charging station. It's a super college atmosphere, so it's very loud, crowded, and uncomfortable. Most people are wasted and enjoying their new privilege of drinking and being away from their parents. It's not uncommon to find girls throwing up in the bathroom or outside. There are plenty of TVs, so it's great to watch a game. There's beer bong on both floors. Stools are available, but limited, so catch them while you can. There's several coat hooks throughout the place. And finally, for a sports bar, the food is actually pretty good!

    Pretty cool place to grab a drink. The street was bustling on a Thursday early evening. It was a bit busy, but my buddy and I were able to grab a seat. There's a 2 hour limit if it gets busy, but I don't think it ever got to that point. Service was fast and friendly. I was crushing hard on our waitress. I felt like every time she came over she was gonna tell me something, like "I love you" but that might be wishful drinking, or because of the 4th Goose Island beer I had within the hour. Ordered a side of Mac and Cheese wedges, amazing choice if I do say so myself. I love the dipping sauce, it was just a small cup of Louisiana hot sauce or something. Most places are so skimpy on the sauce/dip, but there was more than enough sauce here. However, there's like 7 wedges total, so definitely looked bare. Had an embarrassing story at the bathroom. I thought it was one of those solo toilets, so when I tried to push the door open, I thought it was locked and preceded to wait outside. Another guy comes and asked if I was waiting for the bathroom, which I replied with Yes. Then I started to realize the door might be a pull. And yes it was. We were waiting outside like idiots for a hot minute. The bathroom also had 2 urinals and 1 toilet, enough to fit 3 whole people (4 if you're feeling frisky!). We had a good laugh about it, but there should be a sign that says "Pull" on it. Or they did that on purpose for the giggles. Anyways, cool place. Street has a good vibe for drinks

    Wow! Blown away by the service! Jordan is an absolute ANGEL!! And to add to that he's cute too. He let us know that the cheapest thing on the menu was to order a $2 hotdog, which he even offered to eat for us!!!! Anyways tequila sunrises were bomb and he was super patient with us. a+ will return to off the wagon

    They could not make an old fashioned, no simple syrup or serve a proper martini. Relatively clean. But, what a sh_ty bar.

    Bartenders are super weird, they act very immature and angry, drinks are overly expensive, and it's overall not the best vibe

    First time at Wilka's and I came in for a watch party while it was snowing!…read more The person at the door and the food runner were sweathearts but the bartenders were a little over their heads. I showed up an hour and a half early before the event I went to "started", got a seat at the short (Ada compliant) bar and settled in to grab a drink or two before everything started. It took 45 mins for someone (2 people were working) to actually make it down to our side on the bar, everyone I was sitting with, including the tables, wanted to order. The girls next to me said they got there 15 mins before me. If I wasn't here specifically to watch a show with other people in my community I would have left. An hour for a drink!?!?! I took it on the chin and just ordered 2 drinks, which was great because an hour and a half (we ordered the second time after the show started) later they finally came back. Not sure if I would end up coming back, which is sad because I love a watching professional women's sports and this place was made for it but not worth the wait times.

The staff here is friendly and there were plenty of screens to watch the game. This place did get very packed so be warned that you'll have to get here early to grab a table. The atmosphere was incredible and so friendly. The food is also great - we had the vegan sliders which were so good and spicy and ground chickpea panini which was also delicious. Definitely go there for any of your women's sports watching!
