Keybar — Restaurant in New York

My favorite happy hour bar mostly because it is 2 for 1 drinks until 10pm.

But even BETTER is that the business card voucher good for the free drinks is not only marked in terms of dollars that match the corresponding drink that you paid for but it is also good for future visits meaning, you don't have to use it right then and there.

You can use it for another night or nights.

If you paid for a $12 drink, you get a $12 drink voucher good for ALL drinks of lesser or equal value to, yup you guessed it $12.

The pours are ON POINT.

But the bar is small and with the crowds that normally call this place "home", getting the bartender's attention can be not only a hassle but almost a hustle.

Normally there is 2 bartenders behind the small bar for about a venue that caters to about 50 people.

You do the math.

Getting to the bathroom on the right side of the venue can be iffy when it is crowded which is anytime after 5pm on weekdays and 1pm on weekends.

Seating is first come first serve and the best is obviously the couch area that is to the right of the entrance when you enter this popular watering hole.

OR in the left area next to the DJ booth after the bar in the corner that comfortably fits 6 people.

Uncomfortably can fit 10.

The music can be good or just okay depending on the night.

There are many places that you can get your happy hour drinking on but this might be one of the best ones in terms of bang for your buck(s) and consistency/potency of...

Bartender was NOT polite. The owner was not present at the time of the incident. Girlfriend was present. Bartender was forceful with tips (wasn't from the city so I didn't know what they expected but to pick up an issue with what someone wants to pay and embarrass them to get tips is wrong - goes against what a tip is). Wouldn't go back. Owner in his reply below is making it seem like he was there (he wasn't he was outside having a smoke when it all went down now he wants to add his input). Additionally IF your employees are behaving the way they were and I voice my opinion to you that's not disrespectful its me voicing my opinion and I have that right because this is a free country. You like to push your service on people guess what they say stuff back. Additionally buddy if you want to talk about what someone was tipping you should be there because it wasn't $1 but your friend expected me to pay a percentage and if he didn't get that he was going to complain right? Yeah THATs real polite. Yeah buddy wouldn't come...

Tres tres popular judging by the line, was dragged here by a mate from London who'd eaten here before and assured me it was a NY 'must'

Not sure about a 'must' (especially late on a Friday night) but admittedly it was very good, the pork buns (which bizarrely weren't on the menu but can be asked for) were one of the best things I've eaten in the last month.

Pigs tails too...never had those before and really enjoyed them....wasn't a massive fan of the Ramen (but I'm not generally) and seeing as I'm probably the only person in NY who can't use chopsticks, kinda sullies the experience eating them with a fork...anyway, super popular place and I had a very good meal, if you're prepared to wait then I'd definitely pop in.

Misses out on the 5th star due to cost versus time, they want you in and out, but the bill isn't and in and out amount (about $130 for 2 with...
