Our sever was absolutely amazing! We didn’t catch his name but he was so kind and attentive to our group during our lunch. We found this place when another restaurant didn’t open at their posted time and we were too hungry to wait around & let me say we are so glad we found Barfly! Their food was absolutely amazing and we will be craving it back home in the midwest :)

Good dive bar and pool table with nice felt. We went here for noon games on Saturday - there was only one bartender and she managed to take great care of a big crowd. We will be back.

This is a low key cool sports bat with a pool table in the back. Everything here was satisfactory, except for the service... THAT WAS FANTASTIC. The service was attentive, friendly and behind efficient. If you're in the neighborhood grab a quick drink or 2.

Cool spot. Pool table. Great drinks. Reasonable pricing. Friendly Vibe. Ask for SAM! She's probably one of the best bartenders in NYC! Superb Customer Service! Warm Vibe. I will visit again and again!
