Double Down Saloon

Chris the bartender was absolutely amazing!! The drinks were perfect. It was a very clean dive bar, bathrooms stayed clean, cold water was available. The bar felt very safe and female positive! Theres no food but they dont mind if you bring in something to eat.

Great unique alternative bar. Good atmosphere. Bartender couldnt tell the difference between a rum shot and a tequila shot so got a very unpleasant surprise!

Wayyyy better than the one in Las Vegas, I visited the one in Vegas and it was kinda lame, barely any atmosphere outside then when they have shows. This one is always a good time and I have been there quite a few times, make sure to look at the TVs!!!

Super cool bar interior, awesome drink specials, like ass juice and kind bartenders. Hope NYC holds on to this one!

Okay so let me start by saying the bartender was so lovely it was Christmas and I was treated very unfair at the last bar I just left and she made me feel welcomed but moving forward I got kicked out because the owner tried to walk in on me while I was using the bathroom turns around calls me an idiot cause I didn’t lock the bathroom door cause the lock was broken when I came out the bathroom I was escorted out by security who explained to me that the owner didn’t want me there which was the same man who tried to walk in on me in the bathroom I felt violated as woman and helpless after I spent my money at this establishment I was treated like trash and if your reading this u sick pervert justice will be served

I come here often when Im in NY, but apparently a colleague has now been turned away from returning... for not tipping on CANNED DRINKS. Yknow, the kind that the bartender only has to pull from the cooler and perhaps open???Absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. Not planning to return when bars are a dime a dozen.

Kem is awesome. Had a great time here. Cozy, cheap drinks, pool table, good music.

$3 pint of PBR during happy hour is hard to beat in the city. The playlist was just the way I like it and the staff was nice. Plenty of seating and an outdoor area as well. Would definitely be a go to for me in this neighborhood.

Punky dive bar with gross sounding special drinks. Love the dive vibe in this place. Wasnt too crazy when I went although, it was the night before New Years. Never had to wait to see a bar tender which was nice. Ass juice is their signature mixed liquor beverage known to not taste like booze but be full of it. PBR on tap. Bathrooms were actually nice when I went early in the night. Pool table available. Sign said something about a beer garden but being 10 degrees I didnt check it out. Highly recommend this place if youre looking for a good dive bar. Affordable as well.

Great bar. Nice staff and good drinks!

If you dont like it, get out. Its not your kinda place. Punk rock dive bar 100%Great times to be had if it is your kind of place!

How does a bartender ban a customer for not tipping every *time* someone orders a drink? She’s one entitled person

This place gives honest dive bars a bad name. Zero stars if possible. Absolute trash service with no management in sight. No security at the door and selective ID checking at the bar. Insisted on taking my ID with my credit card despite having validated my ID the minute prior, and when I handed the self-proclaimed manager “Brittany” $50 in cash instead of supplying my credit card and ID (which, looking back, would have led to serious fraud) she returned me incorrect change against a $20, faked being insulted by my accusation, handed me $7 for the beer I bought against said “$20”, and loudly demanded me to leave the bar. The guy who selectively checked my ID insisted he never saw a thing (though I know he did), and stood behind me, telling me loudly that it was time to leave. Disgusting and dishonest people. I would have more than happily tipped her $30+ in the standard course of interaction. I called their flagship HQ in Las Vegas, who told me their manager Ian and owner could only be contacted by their website Artist Booking link. I spoke with some law enforcement officers outside, who told me it was a civil matter that required their management to willingly supply video to prove she had done it purposefully. This is sadly a business ran by fraudsters. It’s the principle, not the dollars. As disappointing of an example of humanity as Brittney is, I wish her well with that petty cash and hope she buys herself a sense of value and purpose in this world beyond the callous trickery I saw tonight. People work hard for their money, B. I hope you can learn that one day and feel it for yourself.

Went to the bar where we experienced a warm welcome and exemplary service from David the bartender and all the supporting staff. Food and beverages exceeded our expectations; we tried the ass juice for Two and couldnt get enough of the Lower East Side cocktail made with rye, passion fruit and lemon. It was a lovely experience and they  even played my favorite porn on the tv above the bar!

Nice ambiance, great prices, but what is up with the staff lately?

Definitely my new favorite bar in new york! personally recommend to get the 🍑💦!

Absolutely awful bouncer who refused to accept my REAL id and confiscated it all while treating me as sub human. do not waste your time or money here

Its crazy and cheap bar with good underground music . Thanks

Great experience. Bartenders and nice and understanding. If you don’t get that you’re a jerk. Also, Coach is the best there.

Its was an all around blast and I plan on going again for sure.

A super divey dive bar that I was told was a rite of passage for visitors to the Lower East Side. Came here on the way to another bar and we all took a shot of their special Assjuice (this tasted like pineapple and you couldn’t really tell what liquors were used). Plenty of indoor seating and the crowd was quite eclectic. They have games as well as TVs.

We had a very aggressive bar tender who knocked my drink off the pool table and very angrily told me “no drinks allowed on the pool table”. Instead of nicely telling me this rule I did not know prior she had to knock my drink, that I paid for, down onto the ground instead of approaching me in a well mannered way to inform me of the rules. Not very demure not mindful.

This is a scummy dive bar, exactly what we wanted. Dont come here expecting a normal bar with normal service, thats not the point.

Seems like a cool place but if you are Brazilian with a valid Brazilian ID they won’t let you in. Next time carry your passport to a bar.

Great spot, awesome bartenders and good, cheap drinks. You can’t beat the happy hour specials!

Great dive bar for meeting up with friends or just to mingle with whos there. Friendly staff and patrons. Meet several locals here some creepy some nice but not the establishments fault. Anyways just be prepared for porn and rock music. The pool table is small but will work for passing the time while drinking and playing KENO lottery. Could for sure see myself coming here again.

The bouncer at this bar took my 27 year old friend’s ID, and then insulted him and his girlfriend numerous times. Because the bar has no scanner we had to wait thirty minutes in the cold for NYPD to verify it was a legal ID. Stay away!

Amazing bar, amazing music, great staff and great atmosphere. I loved it

Punk bar vibes, cheap drinks, definitely wouldn’t bring your grandma unless she’s about it.

Cheap shots! Great service & plenty of entertainment playing on the screen. Highly recommend checking out!

Xtremely rude bouncer he decided not to let us in before we walked in because of reasons he chose not to disclose and his manager backed him up. We were a mixed race group and he did say “this is not your night girls”. He also let in a group of white people while we were asking why he wouldn’t let us in. Def your bar if subtle racism is your vibe.

Visiting the area, wanted to go somewhere punk to drink. The music is good. Went on a weekday so it was mellow. Prices are good. There is explicit content playing, very entertaining. One pool table. Photo booth. Graffiti everywhere. Felt homely. Just needed more punX to turn out.

Terrible service from aya (gaya?) the bartenderEntitled attitude, won’t serve us when the bar was empty and told us we can leave if we want because we’re not ordering anything expensive enough for her. Just terrible

My friends and I made this one of hangout spots whenever we are in the area to go out for drinks. Its a very punk bar. If you dont mind the vulgar things on television and classic rock music that plays then this place is very chill. Only thing that needs to be fixed is their arcade machine.

Try the “Ass juice”. Trust me. Awesome place with a great patio.

Bartender is on a serious power tripSteer clear

True LES character, a great dive with great happy hour. Outdoor seating and a real punk vibe. If you are offended by nudity stay away, regularly playing vintage fetish porn inside.

Fun bar, good music, great bartender - bizarre choice of entertainment to show on their TV though...

This place has TVs with degrading, vulgar, misogynistic videos of women playing on most walls. Definitely not a place to go if you have any respect for women.

They play porn on the screens, if that doesnt scare you off then have a drink at this cool little dive bar in Manhattan. The drinks are okay and the vibe is decent but it definitely is somewhere you would bring friends to.

Complete and utter dive, like the rest of the village was 20 years ago. So, absolutely awesome. Good drink prices too. Dont come if youre wearing $500 heels or a jacket thats more then a monthly mortgage or youre from Portland. Punk on the jukebox and cheesy 80s fetish porn on the TVs. Ask for a shot of AssJuice, youll thank me later.

Crazy bar, not kidding. The bartenders are friendly, but if you want to play a joke on your friends bring them to this bar with walls covered in dirty jokes & pictures and the tvs playing an assemblage of old cartoons, concerts, and porn. Have a quick drink and then go to another place in the neighborhood.

Very dive bar vibes. Good for a pit stop in the village for some drinks with friends

Place looks nice but very sour bartender. Not one friendly look and didnt even look at me when ordering and also denied my happy hour drink as we didnt tip enough this round. Why would you even wanna tip someone with his behavior

Great dive bar. They serve something called ass juice. Its not exactly a precision cocktail, but it isnt awful, its cheap, and it gets the job done. Also, they have a pool table.

Wonderful bar, incredible price for drinks. The cheapest drinks in NYC in happy hour. Staff is great too except the only one huge and rude bouncer. And it was very disappointing.We came about 6-7 pm, and really enjoyed the place and the atmosphere. Nobody checked our ID’s. Then we went out for an hour. And when we came back that rude black man asked for ID. I’m not American citizen, and I had just a scan of my passport which I’ve showed to him. He was rude and rejected it. He wanted he physical ID. Which makes no sense at all, because I’m far away from 21 and he saw is an hour ago at this bar. Plus he had seen my passport even with a scan version. So ok we left, which totally cuts off all the good memories about this place. And then I’ve found out that I have a physical passport in my bag.We decided to come back even though we did not want to see that rude guy. So we showed him ID’s, but oh wow, that “mister” did not like my attitude of showing him the passport🫵🏼😂 and he declined us again. Incredible experience in probably the cheapest bar in NYC. And the bar was not even packed…🙄Honestly, as a business woman, I would immediately quit this person. Because of HIS ATTITUDE the bar lose the money. He pretend that he is the boss and act horrible to customers. I really lived the bar at the first visit, but then I would never recommend it to my friends. Unless you guys change your bouncer.

This bar tries a little too hard but is a fun weird atmosphere. The Ass Juice is probably mostly apple cider. Shot and a beer deal isnt bad.

Punk rock is alive and well

One of my favorite punk/metal bars in the city. Chill atmosphere with good crowds and a good selection of beers.

Love this place!!! Never a wait, perfect for barhopping.

Theres beer for $2

One of the very few authentic rock and roll bars left in the area. Great music and bartenders.

Get tha special, IYKYK!

Wonderfully grimy

One of my favorite bars in town. Cant go wrong with anything here. Great place for a first date as well.

Anyone who rated this bar less than 5 stars is not down with the sickness and has no business there. If youre not eager to be offended, youll be fine.

Best meatballs in NYC

One of my favorite bars in the city. Original and true! Always find myself entertained with the video selection playing in the TVs. Try the ass juice!

ASS JUICE!!! Just ask for it! Dont ask whats in it, just enjoy and dont take too many shots. The music is pretty rad and the waiters are all nice. Just go and enjoy!

Incredible bar with a delightful atmosphere and folks. Friendly, quaint and quiet with fun music and good drinks. The people there are beautiful company and I seriously recommend it for hanging out and good times.

Its just another East Village pseudo dive bar, but the bartenders are cool so if catousing with throngs of stupid drunk millennials is your thing, you could do worse.

Simply put its just a boring place. If you’re trying to have fun, dont go here lol

YesVery wowMuch alcoholSuper friend

Nice place for pool and rock and roll

Cool music save bartenders. The people suck, but this is NYC. That could be said of most anywhere.I always have a blast here,despite my faux backbiting compliments.lol

Pretty sure I’m immune to COVID-19 because of this place.

Awesome place to hang out after work. Staff is great and music is on point.

Great IPA on tap.

Great atmosphere and friendly service!

Cool pub, friendly staff. And great music.

Amazing bar staff. Drink prices are below average One of the last REAL east village bars.

Favorite bar in Manhattan. Need to be open minded, bartenders are really friendly.

Cheap drinks. Kinda weird videos playing in the background. I liked them but some people might get uncomfortable.

Crazy cool place for some Village flavor. Great drink prices.

Felt like tourists arent welcomeVery unpleasant barmaid..Very good prices for the beer but had an awful taste..

Hot dogs are great. Drinks are great. Iyahs best bartender and NO ONE GETS HERPES ON KEVINS WATCH

Awesomely grungy dive. Always top notch service from snarkey bartenders who will not put up with any bs

A classic dive bar. We went in for the $2 beer special while waiting for a show around the corner. Im so glad we came in. A bargain AND the bartender was exceptional. I am so sorry I didnt write down your name and have age addled retention issues. Still, if someone in management reads this, the bartender on duty 9\22\23 @5pm deserves a raise. She was efficient, funny, engaging and honest.

Great drink specials wonderful and knowledgeable bartenders!

Just live this place and the war flag beer. Great for hanging out and talking to the lovely barkeeper

Bro party bar good for getting drunk

Best bar in NYC.

Awesome bar! Would be my regular local bar if I lived in NYC

One of a kind bar. Nothing like it around. Great people.

The greatest bar in the world.. and I’ve been all around the world! 🤘

If you dont have the a$$ juice did you even double down?

Good local spot for cheap drinks in a interesting and quirky environment.

Nice punk bar. Cool music. Cheap beer.

A dive bar that excels at being a dive bar. This is a place for miscreants and neer-do-wells.

Not respecting happy hour and shaming the customers for not tipping 20% for a draft beer that was supposed to be free because of the happy hour offer.

Poooorn! Awesome place, I come here often to play pool and hang with my buddies

Interesting dive bar - I heard they play porn on the televisions and when I went I was disappointed that it wasnt really the case.

Nice bar.... good beer.

It was fun and it’s a chill vibe. But, they play violent p*rn on the tv’s. I wish people knew that before coming in so they could consent to seeing that.Fun time, really uncomfortable for people who might be sensitive to viewing s*x. It could be a tasteful but it’s unfortunately not.

Cocktails and mixed drinks seem a bit weak, and too expensive for that to boot, but the atmosphere is great.

Great drinks prices and awesome bartender.

Happiest place on the earth!

Not a bad place to go for decent drink or some pool

Great place to hang out and have a few drinks. Drinks are pretty cheap for the area, and it can have a lot of people without feeling too crowded. Although trying to get a drink can be difficult.They have a pool table and photo booth as well

True punk

Good prices and music, the backyard it is very cool in summer

Horrendous service from the barmaid, bordering on the anti Semitic. Horrible neighbours too for those who live in the neighborhood

Awesome punk, metal dive bar with a small terasse outside

We had a good time here.

This place is the real thing. I never closes too.

GREATEST BAR ON THE PLANET!

Really good prices on drinks, beer garden is really cute and the booths were really comfortable! Plus they checked our vaccine cards very carefully which is always a plus! No one gave me a hassle about my service dog, which a thing I always appreciate in a bar!

Last of the fun Dives Fun with the locals Great prices Good times

Iconic metal bar in the lower east side.

Best hole in the wall bar, hands down! East Village staple.

Good place to grab a drink before a show

Favorite place in the LES to end the night -- the pool table, photobooth, back patio & cheap drinks truly make this the place to be -- also attracts a cool crowd :)

Cool and fun vibe. Shots and music and tv are all a win. Go here for sure

Normal priced alcohol. Bar smelled like a port-o-potty today.

My friends and came here randomly one day and were super happy to find a pool table! The beer selection was decent and the bartender was quick in her feet. Great dive bar to spend an evening with good people, good beer and shooting bar pool. Just call your shots people!

Grungy, but we could easily find space for our group

A dive bar full of locals and punks. The bartenders are full of personality, hard working and engaged socially with the patrons. Its been one of my favorite east village haunts since 2007.

Old school vibe to it, love the atmosphere and music .

Gnarly nyc dive, beer garden early happy hour and sketchy bartenders B-)

If you are looking for a good dive bar in NYC, you got it. Standard filth and comfy corner couches. Affordable drinks and a pool table. Good for getting twisted and catching up with friends on a weekend. The value is more with the company you bring to have a good time.Chill atmosphere - walls covered with signs, stickers and graffitti as well as the bathrooms. You puke you clean it being one of the signs, and trust - it is enforced.

Great vibes, good drinks :)

In love with bartender. If you see this, I love you

Great punk dive bar, full of character and characters.

Best dive bar in NYC.

One of my favorite bars you probably wont like.

Awesome bar, welcoming staff, and a jukebox with pages. There arent many of these left. Go buy drinks, tip good, and thrash with your mask on.

New York city bar based off a Las Vegas bar. Kinda interesting. Feels like its trying to be dive bar-chic, but whatever. It fits in with the neighborhood. has a nice backyard patio with park-like benches to hang out with friends during the warmer months.

One of the best dives in town. They have a 2 for 1 happy hour and a beer garden. I love hitting this place up during the day and just chill.

Cheap tasty drinks surrounded by an eclectic dive atmosphere. Crowd is younger and more hip than expected. Staff were friendly and quick.

I love this place. Its sad that I hadnt been here since 2006 But Im glad I walked in again recently. Brought back old memories and had a good talk with a bartender who was there when I was there back in 06.

The place ia pretty dirty and is filled of questinable people.

Interesting experience with friends. Affordable place to visit. Love the ambiance and adult entertainment found in this hidden little place.

This is just not my style of place. Ive been pulled here now on three separate occasions, none of which have involved my own choosing. Drinks are cheap, but but they come at a price - the price being what youll see playing on the TVs if you look up. Um pass. No thanks. Better places to hit up in the neighborhood.

Way better prices than bars down the street. Great horror theme and cool bartender. I will come here in the future.

Perfect dive bar. No frills but a back yard, 2 for 1 happy hours, you can bring in or order in food, pool table, photo booth etc. + sassy bartenders.

Good, cheap drinks! Great place to escape the tourists! Bartenders are cool!!

Bouncer was a creep and making weird comments to all the women in line

Great place for tunes and a beer.

This bar is definitely for a unique type of bar goer. If loud rock music and porn on the TV is something you are interested in, then this is your place! The scene was a mix of frat guys and hard party goers (if you will). A dark scene, with posters, graffiti and vulgar photos on the walls, definitely a place to experience if your willing.

Love this place every time I come to the city o come here always had great expierence. But came here to kill some time on new years and the blonde bartender gave me a horrid attitude when I stood up to wait for my next drink from my bar chair I guess she took it as Im impatient but I have nerve damage in my legs and it hurts to sit for too long. But regardless of her knowing that which I did try to explain she completely disrespected and insulted me for no reason. Love this bar but might rethink coming back as often as I do when Im in the city or at least not coming in when this bartender is working thanks for ruining an amazing bar

A poor rating in this case doesnt mean you should avoid it- simply a caution. This place is excessively shocking and a bit camp. Drinks are always super-cheap and they have some rather unique specials. This is a dive bar! That means you go to drink cheap and laugh at how awful the decor is. 80s porn will never mean a classy place, but its always good for a laugh with friends.

Cool place to play pool and have some beers.

Super cool bar. The best prices in the city.

Racist anti-asian bouncers unfortunately :(. bouncer refused entry to 22-year-old for Korean ID. please go somewhere else

Edgy dive bar. Slow on weekdays and not too busy on weekends.

Trashy in the best way. Good beer. Cool AC.

Ask for Bobby-Jean. Shes freaking awesome, but dont be stupid, or shell call you out without remorse. ;)

Been coming here for 15 or more years. Great music and best happy hour around. The bartender with the whip isnt too shabby either.

2 fer ones from 12-8pm tip your bartender

Gotta the $7 Slow and Low cans of rye whiskey, kicks your ass after two! Great alt rock music as well pool table and East Village old school feel.

As far as dive bars go this ones pretty divey but its cheap and theres an outdoor area and some arcade games. Only thing is they play pretty raunchy porn on the TVs which just isnt tasteful to some.

Great place to hang out after work. Very chill atmosphere.

Great dive cool people cheap prices

Dirty folks playing pool with good music

I think this place has the best staff forever

Great time - really fun crowd & the bartenders are fast and friendly.

Terrible, terrible service. Person behind the bar was unfriendly, unwelcoming and downright miserable. It was the biggest inconvenience in the world for her to explain drinks on offer at the bar or give people eye contact. In fact, life in general appeared particularly painful for her. Perhaps a job as a fulltime mushroom or bit of mould or decay in a dark cupboard would be better suited to her. Or maybe someone who sorts recycling from general trash in a waste processing plant, but I wouldnt want to cause insult to the good people who work in those roles. Card minimum on the bar is $10 (pathetic in its own right). REFUSED to then offer the two-for-one happy hour drink offer at the establishment because of her own misgivings. Such a shame, as this dive var sporting a tucked-away beer garden would otherwise be a kickass place.

Great night ,great experience. Have not been in this bar for quite a while, happy to see its still a go to spot in neighborhood .

Punk rock to its core, this dive bar really lives up to its vibe. Friendly bartenders and good drinks, but what they display on their tvs really is of an adult nature.

I love this bar. Put some money in the juke box and slam a beer. If you are square there is a TGI Fridays down the street.

Our experience of this place was horrific thanks to a unnecessarily nasty bar maid with bad customer service skills. As soon as we walked in we were met with hostility and unprovoked aggression about our international identification. Its one thing not to accept drivers licences from overseas, its another to talk to seven potential customers in a half empty bar in a rude and demeaning manner. Walked out instantly and will likely never return.

This was the place to go for my bday on August. It’s time for me to get back at that tradition. Idk if you still have to show your Id for your bday. All I know that the music is like none other.

👍🏻

A great meet up for LES locals

Nice place for local punks to catch drinks and black eyes.

This place is an awesome hangout spot their pool table is a plus.

By far my favorite bar in New York the happiest place on earth

Punk dive bar. Great backyard.

Atmosphere & service very good. Cheap as hell, and bacon martini has to be tried!

Chill spot. Great happy hour spots and for sure a divey spot and not for everyone.

Great happy hour specials. Edgy.

Great, easy going bar with real people and lots of interesting drinks.

Nice place to hang out with friends

Good place ! Bar tenders are always nice and the atmosphere of the bar is cool !

A brilliant dive, with buy-one-get-one-free happy hour. Dont get draft unless you want to cripple your intestines.

Cheap drinks. Thats enough for 5 stars.

Really cool place to hang out. The restrooms were less than average.

Ace dive bar. Important to have the ass juice.

Great LES Dive Bar!

Sancho is the man. Nice chill spot for afterwork.

Nothing like midget porn, keno, ass-juice shots to pregame you for the rest of your night on the Lower East Side.This place is a gem. (Dont touch anything in the bathroom except yourself).

Happiest Place on Earth ..... At least that is what it says, on the wall

Hands down best bar in the city.

Was parked across the street from there making a delivery.

I’m a punk and metal fan, so i fit right into this bar 👍

Cool vibe, cheap drinks

Super punk rock place to spend time

Great bar. Would recommend.

Exactly what I want out of a dive bar, including an outside area in the back (though that does close earlier than the bar itself).

Chill atmosphere and great beers on tap

Edgy ambiance but chill folks.

You will be hard pressed to find a better punk rock dive bar in NYC. What they play on the tvs will filter out anyone with a fragile disposition.

Great Bar with Awesome Throwback Vibes

Best bar in the East Village

My favorite bar out here. Make sure you tip!

Regular bar good bartender

This is one of my favorite bar

Classic village dive bar with pool table and porn on the old TVs. What you see is what you get.

Punk bar
