Daddy’s Bar — Restaurant in New York

Allow me to introduce myself here. I am a native Ridgewood citizen. And after seeing how this place has evolved I can say the following.

So bring someone who is very good at pool or you’ll only be playing the pool sharks. Kind of lame but whatever. House rules I guess. Aside from that I...

A better version of this bar that doesn’t hate black or queer people is Mr. Nancy’s on Seneca. Had an experience here where the people making food set eyes on me and my friends(black folks) & turned away from serving us. Will never forget & will make sure to let my community know that they have issues with Black folks. Aside from having a pool table, they’re...
