I got the white elderflower cosmo and I must say I wasn’t really tasting the elderflower. It was still a good drink nun the less. The atmosphere is really cozy and the drinks are well priced. I love that you get free popcorn with your drinks it’s a clever concept. You even get to customize a one dollar bill and tape it to the wall which was fun to do with friends.

This place is cool. Beer pong in the basement. Super attentive service. Fun social crown.
Awesome dive bar not far from Rockefeller Center. When I went it was Christmas themed, with cheap drinks and free popcorn - a must visit if you are in this area.
My friend and I visited Snafu 1/6/24 after seeing “Six.” We didn’t know what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised. Walking in, we knew we were in the right place as the DJ was playing a great mix of one of our faves. And, the music kept getting better as the evening progressed! Our bartender Lila was busy, but still made time to be friendly and didn’t complain when we inadvertently ordered the most complicated (and delicious) drinks on the menu (see video.) The crowd was lively and diverse… sometimes unruly, but the manager and staff kept them cool and under control. I suspect they were typical Saturday regulars, otherwise they might have been tossed. Will definitely come back when I return to NY. Put it on your list!
Great bar spot. Less fancy than most of nyc bars. Nice to chill. TVs had sports. Nice seating area up top and basement beer pong. Win win win
Great little bar. Staff is awesome, made us feel very welcome. It was late and we stopped for a drink. Asked the server if they had a food menu, said they didn't serve food, all good, no problem. We had another drink. A few minutes later she came up to the table and brought us a calzone! Staff had got food delivered and she shared with us! Was a terrific example of hospitality and kindness.
Amazing service and atmosphere. The drinks are relatively cheap and we were able to get a great table for our group. Seasoned popcorn is served to you nonstop, and it's so yummy. Downstairs you can help yourself to beer pong and other bar games. Great place to bring a group and save money.
