Love this place, the bartender Dave is super chill and very friendly. The the vibes are great here and I would definitely recommend!

If you want a packed, bro-y bar that's noisy and obnoxious, you'll love it here. I did not, and my group left pretty quickly.

I am stuck going here once a month because I have a close friend with nostalgia for the bar that used to be here and can't seem to move on. This is basically the worst watering hole I have ever experienced in NYC, and I am a regular (and yes, I realize it is a dive). Why this is so terrible: - In the summer there are mosquitos biting you outside - Limited selection of drinks (when compared to other dives) - Always crazy crowded - even on the weekdays - Frequently broken furniture Any good things: - Drinks are cheap - Cool people like this bar read more

Smells like beer but great place for groups. I'd recommend sitting outside. Good for people watching. Come early for a seat. Good and high energy. Staff is swift. They have cocktails, wine, and hard seltzers too. read more

The Spring Lounge - a man sitting at a table with a beer in front of him - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

Punky dive bar with gross sounding special drinks. Love the dive vibe in this place. Wasn't too crazy when I went although, it was the night before New Years. Never had to wait to see a bar tender which was nice. Ass juice is their signature mixed liquor beverage known to not taste like booze but be full of it. PBR on tap. Bathrooms were actually nice when I went "early" in the night. Pool table available. Sign said something about a beer garden but being 10 degrees I didn't check it out. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good dive bar. Affordable as well. read more

The Spring Lounge - Barrrrrr - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

If you're looking for a place with affordable drinks, easy vibes, and dim lighting definitely check this place out. It's a no frills place- just a heads up apparently if you use a card it's a two drink minimum per order. read more

I visited this bar for the first time on a Saturday following dinner with girl friends. We had a group of 6 girls and within 10 minutes of arriving 3 of the 6 had phones stolen (from zipped purses.) The phones immediately had locations turned off and the thief was QUICK and discrete. After this incident we learned this also happened to another friend on a different weekend at Spring Lounge. The establishment doesn't seem to make any efforts to stop this behavior and was annoyed by us asking for help. I will not be going back and would urge anyone going to this bar to proceed with caution, keep your phone in your hand at all times, and be on the lookout for others. read more

Dive bar. NYC. Old school (1920's). 'Nuff said right? Music is good, drinks are cheap and it's got the vibe I seek. read more

The Spring Lounge - Dive bar. Old school. 'Nuff said. - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

My favorite bar in the city. Great vibes every time I visit. Friendly service. Great selection of beers

Ray is the best we've ever met - he is so thoughtful, considerate and knows how to make you smile. 10/10 would go again

Chill, nothing wrong with this place but nothing special. Very college bar vibes, good place to go with friends as a last stop

Can get loud, crowded, and boisterous. Yet, it's a homey feeling divey kind of bar that is a focal point and meeting spot of this neighborhood. Been here a bunch of times over the years to have a few cold ones with friends. Standard domestic bottled beers on the menu along with a mix of crafty cans. Prices average $6-$7 a beer. They have outside seating now too which offers terrific people watching in an eclectic part of town. read more

Great dive bar discovery roaming the streets in the wee hours of a Sunday night. Good late night vibe with good tunes.

If you're looking for a true dive bar, this is your spot. No thrills, sticky seats, cheap alcohol and great times await you at the Spring Lounge. It can get pretty busy in here, so keep that in mind but they do offer some seating if you're lucky to grab a little cozy seat. Drinks are standard. 4.8/5 read more

Came here with some buddies, had an absolutely BIZARRE experience. My friend had been waiting in line for the men's room for 10 minutes- got to the front and a couple cut him in line. The woman announced she would be going to the men's room next (even though the woman's room had no line). My friend questioned why, she just said "because I want to." Her male friend then said she worked there, so my friend let it go. She went into the men's room, while her male friend went in the women's room (I have no idea why). When the woman came out, she apologized to my friend and offered him a free drink at the bar. He said thanks and used the bathroom. When he went to the bar after, the woman said he was cut off and told all the bartenders not to serve him. She refused to explain why. Later, they told security to kick us all out. Again, no explanation, just this bizarre bartender who cut the bathroom line? Maybe she was salty at my friend for questioning her cutting the bathroom line, but it's a fair question and he was never rude. Maybe it's a race thing. I don't really know but will not go back, and will not be recommending this place to anyone... read more

Came here while waiting to be seated at Ruby's, a popular restaurant nearby. This bar is pretty spot on for what you expect out of a bar -- drinks, TVs and tables. I would say this place is on the more average side but the staff is friendly and we can't complain about the experience. My bf said the cider here was one of the best he has had, so maybe try that one out! read more

What an awful experience! Will never recommend and never be back. Great NYC bars are also known for their friendly, down to earth bouncers. For folks who frequent bars like this, a friendly constant at the door is always great to have. Then you have establishments like this divey shit hole who employs rude douchebags as door people. Seems like they found their bouncer through a Craigslist help wanted post. Long story short, I was having drinks with a couple of friends, stepped outside for a few minutes and when I tried to come back in, he just wouldn't let me in. I told him I just came out from inside, we have a tab open and two friends at the bar and he said "I don't remember you and you're not going back in". No rhyme or reason. Just a shit attitude. Don't come here unless you want to be treated like crap by a disgusting bouncer in an overcrowded bar. I had to text my friends to tell them to close the tab because the bouncer wouldn't let me back in. What a joke! Let's add this bar to the list of permanent closures due to the pandemic! Shoutout to Sam G. read more

The Spring Lounge - BEWARE THIS FILTH - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

It's entertaining to read all the other reviews about the Spring Lounge, probably because I didn't interact with any staff and consequently didn't experience any rudeness or racism. I was meeting up with a friend who said he was chilling here. Somehow he managed to get a table in the back room. This place is super packed and rowdy! Seems to have a decent selection of standard beers at standard New York prices. Nothing special. Is it weird that I was tempted to give the Spring Lounge an extra star for quality people watching? Everyone is so attractive in this part of New York. It's clear that there are a ton of locals, and I enjoyed a small taste of the divey neighborhood vibe that the bar offers. read more

Nice community vibe here, which is unusual in NYC. Relaxed, fun ambiance and I made new friends. read more

I've been going to the Spring Lounge for years, and it never disappoints. It's a wonderful little neighborhood dive bar where you know you're bound to run into someone you know if you're from the area. I miss you Spring Lounge...I miss you so much. read more

Great location, great tomatoes. Only severe downfall is this regular Phil who is there 8 days a week. He may be on the spectrum but guy could talk the ear off a corn and I'm positive I've never seen him blink. Avoid conversation at all costs but if you do, do not mention the Yankees! read more

Came here one time after a volunteer event at work. Typical dive bar-ish setting, but it served the purpose for us. I enjoyed the long-ish tables that allowed our large group to sit and enjoy ourselves. The wraparound windows give a nice touch too as you overlook all the people that are walking along Spring Street. Overall a fun vibe and would probably recommend coming back if in the area. read more

Hands down my favorite dive bar in NYC. The crowd is so friendly. Drinks are cheap. Always a great time!

HORRIBLE PLACE. The bartenders and bouncers kicked 12 of us out because one of us stood up for a friend getting groped by a "regular." They let the regular back in his seat and told us all to leave. DO NOT GO. read more

The Spring Lounge - Dive Bar w real drinkers - Lounges Near Me - New York, New York

Hmm. This is a neighbourhood bar, which is great to have in the middle of SoHo since everything is hoity toidy tourist shit/instagram fodder. It was pretty crowded with people in the mid-40s and everyone seemed to be having a nice time. The bartender was very quick and nice, even remember my order and name after my first drink. It's crazy hot inside though, there is no AC. So we were sweating a storm. I got two gin and sodas and one cider and it was thirty dollars. Hence the three stars. The place seems chill but 30 bucks for well drinks and draft cider at 6pm on a weekday?? Sis, NEXT. read more

Ain't no party like a beer club party! Unless that party also happens to coincide with an event for Victory Brewing and includes free food! My beer club met here for the Victory Brewing event (with special appearance from a member of my other beer club) and we had a great time. The space is very cool. Lots of places to sit or stand, fairly easy to get access to the bar, lots of windows that were open...I liked it. The beer was great. Victory reps were on hand and they had numerous selections on tap. I personally had these St. Victorious (doppelbock) and the Hop Devil- East Coast IPA, which is not as hoppy as most IPAs , and a little darker. Both were great. Others in the group had the St. Boisterous, the Prima Pils and the Saison Du Buff, which was roundly praised. The free food was decent too. Bratwurst were great but pulled pork was kinda salty. Nice bartenders, friendly crowd, a very enjoyable place. The only room for improvement I could see is if the beers were poured a little more cleanly. Had some very uneven pours and the glasses were usually very messy and wet with beer. What can I say, I like a glass that isn't too sloppy! I reserve that for other things! Plus there was a really nice dog there. He was old but so cute. Definitely put this on your list. read more

Jack on Sunday. Natalie on Monday. Great service great conversation. Keep up the good work.

Justin was the rudest server I've ever had in my 32 years of life. He flirted aggressively with my friend Tatijana and made her extremely uncomfortable. He called for a break on his shift after we were leaving and followed us for about 10 blocks. When we told him to stop following us, he called us ugly and fat and spit on us. I would never recommend going here as a woman or just anybody in general. The Spring lounge is not a safe place and has an extremely dangerous environment. This place needs to be shut down immediately. We came for drinks we got some appetizers we found multiple hairs in our food. I feel like there's multiple health code, violations, and customer service violations. Justin took things too far and triggered my friend Tatijana. She has extreme PTSD due to men, and he even tried to touch her after she disclosed her trauma. read more

Spring Lounge was my saving grace for a last minute large reservation for drinks for my company's staff outing. We were able to reserve the back room area for our group of 30 which was a perfect size space for people who wanted to sit and drink or stand and chat. Although the rest of the bar was super busy, the bartenders kept our drinks flowing with little to no wait time. I'll definitely be back! read more

The worst experience I've ever had in a bar. This is my first Yelp review but I feel compelled to complain about the rudest bartender I've ever encountered. We sat down at noon (in a relatively empty bar) and more than half of our group ordered drinks. We hadn't been there longer than 10 minutes before the bartender came over and essentially berated us for taking up a table when some of us weren't drinking. Told us we "shouldn't be in a bar if we aren't drinking", despite the fact that six of us were. Told us we all had to "get a drink or get out". Our party immediately finished our drinks and left and will never return because of the interaction. Absolute miserable human being. P.S. He didn't kick out the man who was eating a sandwich off of the floor and watching porn in the corner, so I guess that's just the preferred clientele for this shithole read more

Spring Lounge is a NYC dive bar institution. You know it from the graffiti shark outside. Surprisingly great beer selection (they have cans of Sip of Sunshine!). Tons of mixed seating and a back room. BYOF friendly so bring that pizza with you. And they take credit cards. read more

This place was very chill, relaxed, and quiet. It wasn't has noisy as a few of the other bars in the neighborhood. It's great it's open until 4am and has a bouncer outside to control the crowd. I enjoyed having a drink here and relaxing after a night of fun. Great spot to unwind after bar hopping. read more

This gets 4 stars for service and selection....for a place my husband and son could sit and wait while I was shopping in Chinatown! The staff was friendly and we enjoyed watching them walk up and down the stairs behind the bar to grab the cans of beer! They have a few TVs if you want to watch a game. Clean restrooms here are a plus too! read more
