Broadway Dive — Restaurant in New York

Talk about a diamond in the rough. This bar is absolutely to be treasured. I recently moved nearby, and it’s less than a block away. Needless to say, my friends and I make sure to stop by at least a couple times a week.

Watching games, going out for a casual chill night, needing a change of scenery…whatever it might be, Broadway dive can deliver.

Erin is a cornerstone of the bar. Aside from being a pillar holding the place up, she is also such a great person inside and out, and a fantastic conversationalist.

It’s always so funny how EVERY single person who walks by Broadway Dive HAS to turn their head and look inside, some coming in to check it out, some not. But I can guarantee nobody walks by this place more than once and doesn’t stop in!

The staff is the reason this place is what it is. They’ve cultivated an environment for all walks of life to stop in, kick back, and have a fulfilling drink.

I'm not sure (nor do I care really) if this place is a true dive, but they do have an unexpectedly vast selection of bottled beer. It's extremely narrow and can be hard to maneuver around, and the crowd is, well, what you'd expect in the UWS. One of the older female bartenders is often rude and unatentive to me personally, but all the others are fine. The biggest pain in the ass about the bar is that only some of the bottles are priced, so it means you either have to spend several minutes thumbing through their menu online to check the price of each beer or just be hit with the surprise when you go to be rung up. I never stick around because of the corkage fee/crowd, but after work this is a good place to pick up something yummy and head back...

The music and decor was fun. A cozy dive experience that reminded me of my hometown Midwest bars. Prices were great. That said, the bartender ignored my partner and I for 15-20 minutes after we sat at the bar in front of her and served people that came up behind us despite the bar being half empty and I making eye contact and trying to order. This continued for 3 hours throughout the night. Not sure why. Typically one would check on folks with empty glasses. We didn’t exactly fit in with the demographics and began to feel unwelcome. Whenever we’d order the response was best described as an annoyed demeanor. I don’t think I’ll ever return and wouldn’t...
