On a Saturday afternoon I arrived to celebrate a friend's birthday, apparently this is a popular spot because almost all the tables had reservations and each table had personalized decorations for each birthday celebrant, with funny pics of each person's face (submitted in advance) photoshopped onto clearly not their own bodies. Super casual bar set up with seating at the bar, booths and hightop tables. Enough for about 50-60 people inside. For food they have the staples--nachos, wings, pretzels, burgers, fries, tacos, ribs. To drink--an ample variety of beers, cocktails and whiskeys. Staff was friendly and welcoming, gave us time to decide what we wanted as we waited for the birthday boy to arrive. Solid all around. Great for a chill afternoon get-together, though I could also see this as a place where parties bring the energy at night.

Established in 1967, and I'm pretty sure the vibe hasn't changed a single bit since. ​The place was absolutely packed wall-to-wall, but real talent knows how to navigate a crowd when there's a pint of Guinness and a plate of buffalo wings waiting on the other side. ​This spot is legendary for its shuffleboard table--no bumpers, pure skill, and zero room for error. Rumor has it they also roll out an inflatable pool on the sidewalk when the New York summer heat gets disrespectful, which is exactly the kind of unhinged energy I respect. ​If you need me, I'll be under the jukebox mapping out my professional shuffleboard career. ​ 1 Lispenard St, New York, NY

A really cozy spot on a block where no other bar can compete. This is one of those places you'd never know about unless you've been there before, were invited by someone, or just happened to stumble upon it while passing by. It has that quiet, tucked-away charm like a true neighborhood secret. The bartender was great, the vibe felt relaxed and friendly, and everything about the space gave off that traditional pub feel, which I absolutely love. The background music was spot-on not too loud, just enough to set the mood. I really hope I get the chance to come back again. This place has that classic, comfortable energy that makes you want to stay longer than planned.

My boyfriend loves this place, and we came here a couple weeks back with a few of his friends from his NYC days. It was fun, loud, and absolutely perfect. I especially love the graffiti that covers the walls - everywhere, even the bathrooms! If you look up "dive bar" on Urban Dictionary, I guarantee you that Clockwork Bar will show up. That's not to say it's a bad thing - far from it, actually. However, just know that it's not a place to bring your parents (unless of course, they're punks from the 80's themselves!). Despite the "rough around the edges" look, the bartenders are awesome and friendly. Boogie is the man - he took care of us all night, and he's great. Clockwork is definitely a unique and off the beaten path bar, but a must visit for any unique night out in NYC!

It appears to be a local pub with no outdoor seating, a laid-back vibe, and affordable drinks.

I've been to Spring Lounge a handful of times, even spent my 24th birthday here and had the best…read moretime. I actually brought the bartenders birthday cake from Sant Ambroeus that night, which makes my experience last night even funnier in hindsight. I've noticed over time that some of the bartenders here have a habit of being incredibly friendly to men and noticeably less pleasant to women. Whatever. I'm there to have a drink, not make friends with the bartender, so I've never thought much of it. But last night was genuinely bizarre. I was ordering my fourth round of drinks and, as I had been doing all night, left a 20% tip on my tab. Unfortunately, I was using a card I rarely use and it didn't have enough funds to cover the entire charge, leaving a whopping $6 balance. Since I'd already tipped on the original transaction, I didn't add another tip to the remaining $6. Didn't think twice about it. When I went back for my fifth round, a grown man, probably in his 40s or 50s and wearing what I assume were Halloween-colored contacts, decided to confront me about supposedly not tipping him ALL NIGHT. I explained that I'd been tipping 20% on every tab and that the only charge I hadn't tipped on was the remaining $6, because I'd already tipped on the original bill. He continued to insist I hadn't tipped him or "his colleague" once. Then came my favorite part... He told me that if I "can't afford to come here, I shouldn't come." Sir this is Spring Lounge I genuinely couldn't believe a grown man was trying to lecture me about my finances over a tip on a $6 balance, especially when I'd been tipping all night. And to be that condescending to a 24-year-old woman over something he hadn't even bothered to verify is just embarrassing. The funniest part is that I still left him a 30% tip after he spoke to me that way. Apparently I can afford to come here after all! I understand that bartenders deal with rude customers and people who don't tip. I also understand that tipping is important. What I don't understand is the need to humiliate a paying customer over an assumption that wasn't even true I think some of the staff here have confused being a little rough around the edges with having a personality. There's a difference between a classic NYC dive bar with attitude and a middle-aged man being unnecessarily nasty to a young woman. One is charming. The other is just tacky. Anyway I won't be rushing back. Plenty of bars in New York where you can get a drink without having to defend your bank account to a man in Halloween contacts.
