Tompkins Square - New York City

Not my favourite, but I'm not sure why everyone is hating on this place so much. Yeah the East Village isn't what it used to be. But we're not young anymore. It's time to move on. Yes, it's overpriced. Yes, it's a smidge pretentious. Yes, the staff here is a bit obnoxious and blase. Yes, most of the taps are stale af. Yes, you could literally walk a block over and find a better bar. BUT THAT'S NOT WHY WE'RE HERE RIGHT? I occasionally will pop in here because I'm too lazy to walk to a better bar, or all the better bars are full up. This place always has space but does seem to have regulars. I enjoy the food here. I've had hotdogs, shisto peppers, the chicken burger, and a beef burger All of it has been good but slightly overpriced. Do be sure to double check your bill because I have been charged double at least twice. Both times they were nice, but kind of annoying. Additional comment for COVID time They were very chill about our table of 5. The made a table for us and only made us order one meal. Which is cool. They seem like a bar that would make us all order something lol! All in all, only stop by if everything else is full. Not interesting enough to warrant an out of the way visit.

Super ripoff Completely duplicitous and fraud on the drinks. $4 extra shot became $16 with mezcal. Attendant did not relay the price. Super sketchy. I paid like $26 a drink for a frozen drink. This is completely a joke with bad music. I wish I could it a lower rating. Please do not come here. My review: 0 Do not come here. Zero

Tompkins square bar is my new local. The food is awesome and on the weekends they play great dance music. Louisa and Nolan are some of the nicest bartenders I've encountered in this neighborhood. 5/5 would recommend to anyone looking to have a great night out in the East village!

Horrible service, the guy with long curly blonde hair was very disrespectful, made us super uncomfortable we left without even ordering anything.He forced us to sit while we only wanted to look at the menu and then kept being really pushy.I would never come back and I would never recommend it to anyone.

Best Service, Best Music. This is my favorite place for a drink! Levi and his crew make sure everyone is happy. This is the go-to spot for me and my friends and every time it's more perfect than the next.
