Nice place for heavy metal death/Gothic Bartenders are super friendly, drinks are cheap, beer ice cold, music loud, but you can go to the back where you can sit and have a conversation with your friends or people you meet there, they have an old school jukebox where you can play your music, CD are changed once a month so each month you find new albums there, some creepy decoration items here and there, decoration is just amazing all the items displayed are signed by artists from drum heads, guitars, concert tickets and so on, no food tho but they allow you to get food from outside, best option is the dollar slice pizza up the corner. I've seen and met all kinds of people there, so i assume it's also LGBTQ friendly for the folks who are wondering, since I've seen some people who identify as. Having a drink and laugh, this is the place to go to have fun meet new people

Duff's, Brooklyn is a sanctuary for metalheads, a in a city infected by pop, autotune and repetitive empty tunes, this bar stands a lone for the few metal spirits out there. The bar is packed with memorabilia, and a lot of the decoration is dedicated to local rockstar Peter Steele, creating an intense atmosphere that says heavy metal! Great music, cold beer. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the bartender knows how to pour a strong one. It's a dive bar with a unique vibe, where you can let loose and enjoy the raw energy. Whether you're there for the music, the drinks, or the unapologetically gritty ambiance, Duff's delivers a one-of-a-kind experience. Just be ready for a wild night. The only bad thing; Restroom stink badly.

Been to Duff's two outta the three times I've come to NYC and enjoyed both times. It was MUCH busier this last time I went earlier August and I know I'm short and all but I felt I kept getting passed up at the bar for newer customers even with my card held out. When I did get to order I only wanted one round of drinks, but she didn't give me a chance to order anything else just said "it's a $20 minimum" and kept my card after I had already told her it was just the one round. I would have just ordered double and closed it out there since I knew they were so busy. prior to that was for my birthday before Christmas in 2019. :) will always come back for the atmosphere and music!

Just after the first visit this place became my favourite underground getaway spot. Friendly staff and for the true rock-metal heads millions of authentic and original memorabilia hanging on the wall..amazing!

This place has become one of my favorite dives. If you’re a metal fan, you’ll love the decor and music. The drinks are dirt cheap ($4 for a well drink) so it’s a great low budget night out option.

This is a must for all Metal Heads who are in the area or passing through.The owner Jimmy is a good guy and I always run into to familiar faces and make new friends here. So much memorabilia from bands are all over the place and they even have some guitars on display, including a Bass guitar that was owned by Peter Steele of Type O Negative(see my pics). Duffs also host a celebration of Peter's life every April.

This bar is brilliant. It’s absolute metal and fits every beautiful stereotype it should. The music is loud, fast, and heavy. The lighting is all red and and fits the room so well. There’s a massive collection of signed drum heads from all of the metal greats, legends, and current rockers. Photos and backstage passes are all over the walls. Staff is friendly and firm. Clientele talks rock and roll but is generally welcoming to strangers. It would be foolish not to wear black to the bar but every metalhead knows that. A gem of Brooklyn nightlife. Beer list is adequate and shots are great. They feature totally reasonable prices and it’s a very short walk from the subway. They offer cool bar merch to purchase. It’s not uncommon for patrons to scream along with the stereo. Really a gem of a rock and roll establishment.

Great Bar, bottled beers only. But really nice flair. The Wheel of Misfortune is a nice treat and if you are in the rock/metal music scene, you'll love it here. Lots of lore and lots of good times an people.
