The 119 bar beckons patrons with its red lights, red pool table, and chilled crowd outside smoking. As dive's go the 119 bar is about as dingey as they come. More rec room than bar, it's not hard to imagine forgeting where you were for a second and thinking you were in a college friend's basement.
Overview
Why You Should Go
- You never have to wait long to get a game of pool, but to stay on the table your game has to be pretty tight.
- A $4 pint of Yuengling near Union Square is almost a trophy.
- Situated just around the corner from Irving Plaza it makes for a convenient for concert pint.
What You Should Know
- The popularity of this bar is hugely seasonal. In the summer whilst NYU is out of session there's rarely any trouble getting a table.
