First off let me apologize for the scarcity of posts, it is not that I am not taking this seriously or anything like that. It has to do with the fact that I created this as a way of killing time at work and recently my time at work has been killed by, well, work. It's not like anyone reads this shit anyway.
Here is the deal, in the name of absolute transperancy. This spot is my favorite bar in all of New York City, I mean ALL of NYC. Honestly, they could have a free bar in the lobby of my building and I would still prefer Jeremy's. Is it an ideal place to meet women? Probably not. Is it a good place to get just absolutely plowed? You're goddam right it is. The best thing about this place is the immense selection of beers (Ranging from Busch and Coors Original to Bass Ale and Hoegaarden) and the liberal attitudes towards overserving. That, coupled with the atmosphere makes this place just about as stereotypical a dive bar as you have ever seen in some bad movie. Bras hanging from the ceilings? Check. Graffiti on the walls? Check. Breakfast beer specials? I should hope so, the places slogan is "Where beer isn't just for breakfast anymore".
The crowd is never bad enough that you would have to wait more than 3 minutes for service and it is comprised mostly of old construction workers, younger construction workers and various groups that have come in for a few after work or a softball game. The bartending crew is awesome and have memories like elephants. If you are cool with them they may even join you for the occasional game of Flip Cup, Beirut is for pussies. Also clutch is the fact that everything in the place is cheap as sin. Part of the reason behind this is that a wise man somewhere down the line (I am guessing Jeremy) decided that, if everything is disposable, that means we don't have to hire a dishwasher. That means, styrofoam plates, plastic bowls, 20 oz. plastic cups and 32 oz. stryofoam cups called "Buckets". And trust me they pass the savings on to you, the loyal consumer. Also, if you are so inclined feel free to examine the ceiling, which is a virtual guest book of softball teams (I am up there twice), Fire houses and other such groupings of rapscallions and hoodlums. The prices, both food and drink, are very low and the food, is, well it's food, filet mignon it ain't but it is as good as you would expect from a place that hands you a paper towel and plastic cutlery.
Pros
- Bartenders seems almost grateful for repeat customers that have a full mouth of teeth.
- Specials and Holiday parties make the cheap every day prices just seem unfair.
- Where else are you going to be able to get a "Big Busch" for only $5.00
- Hehe, I said Big Bush.
- Smoking porch so you can drink and smoke at the same time!
Cons
- Probably half the crowd (wait, make that ex-cons)
- You are not going to impress many dates.
Check out the website in the links section, It shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
PS - I will try to be funnier from now on.

Fuck. It's places like this that I needed more of when I lived around NYC, and all my yuppie/preppy college friends were hanging out at the trendy places. Not that they're bad people, but I come from a land of cheap beer and pub food, and back in 2001 I had to pay $7 for a pint in NYC? Fuck that.
