Puffy's Tavern — Restaurant in New York

Puffy's is a nice little dive with great staff, dim lighting, and a solid playlist ranging from RHCP to Rihanna, with some eclectic curveballs thrown in for good measure.

Aside from the $3 PBRs, they had Boddingtons and the part pale ale, part wheat beer, part cream ale Sixpoint Sweet Action on tap...nice! (Fun fact: did you know Sweet Action beer was named after a porn magazine? Neither did I, but our bartender did!) If you're hungry, they serve individual pizzas starting at $6 for plain cheese - additional for toppings.

Not sure what I did to deserve that but this is super unnecessary to treat people that way (it was like 4pm too and legit my first drink). Charged $6 for my bf's club soda too which feels excessive. Cool dive bar overall but cmon, treat people with decency unless they truly...
