David’s Bar New York Reviews
listen, i don’t usually take the time to write reviews. if you’re reading this and contemplating a visit, just do it. i doubt a more welcoming and down to earth spot exists. if you’re looking to meet some good people in new york, i guarantee you’ll walk out at least two friends richer. fatefully stumbled upon david’s as i was heading to the subway station. pretty unassuming, yet inviting from the outside. sitting at the bar alone has always been a bit daunting for me, but today i felt like i belonged as soon as i walked in. the bartender, daniel, immediately asked me what i like and whipped up a custom mango-peach-tequila concoction for me. it was smooth! they had good old school hip hop playing on a tuesday evening. i chatted with some fellows at the bar for a while and it was real nice. i even got to try my first pickle back! a regular, mike, put me on to coppelia’s as well—if you’re on the market for a good 24 hr diner. anyway, long story short, do yourself a favor and stop by. no pretense, good prices, great company.
Went here to watch the last two minutes of bills vs the ravens, the bills were down 15 points. Probably best comeback that’s ever been done in football. The bartender Reggie is the man
Excellent small bar. The people are great. Reggie took great care of us.
Overall rating: 4.9 This place is underrated. Love the low key, chill energy in LES. No frills, which is my middle name. The drinks are STRONG, in the best possible way. I didn’t experience any karaoke, but I think I was there too early in the night. Went around 8 on a Saturday. Definitely want to go again if I’m looking for a nightcap or just a chill place in the area.
This bar definitely deserves its high rating. The prices are cheap, the vibe is immaculate, and all the bartenders are cool as hell. The crowds that hangs there is fun. Overall, I will come here again and again.
is there a better bar in the neighborhood than david’s? not that I can think of!
If you grab a stool, be cool it's an amazing crowd! Parlor tricks are encouraged provided you can land the gig.

This place is an eclectic mix of every person you’ve ever wanted to meet——and you will talk to them because the place is so small. It’s a rare find
First round of drinks was $14, then second round of the SAME drinks became $20, there’s no prices on the menu and the bartender just charge whatever they want. Not cool, especially we were regulars and we got scammed. We always had a great time here but beware of the prices and ask for the price before you order your drinks. Update: David is so cool. He saw the review and gave us 2 rounds of drinks on the house for the misunderstanding. The bartender that day wasn’t cool, but the owner and other bartenders def made up for it. Still my favorite bar!!! They have white claws now for $5, can’t beat that price.
I didn't intend to be at this beautiful bar, however it was where I was ment to be. A place where everyone is ment to feel comfortable. As a bartender myself I would hire Jaime in a minute. I would work for David without a second thought. It is so nice to feel welcome as an outsider. Please go here and give them all of your money. The prices you can't beat it. The vibes... out of the world. I would give a sixth star if I could. Thank you. Alaskans on me. Thank you again <3
Cute cozy tiny bar with amazing people. Very accommodating
i can’t describe how well i have been treated at this bar. it is transcendent. jamie is easily the best bartender in new york city. community values. nothing but love
Found this absolute gem of a place when looking for an authentic dive bar in NYC. What can I say, this place has it all. Jamie and Reggie are possibly the most chill bartenders in NYC with an amazing eye for making people feel welcome. The bar has plenty of regulars who swing by many times a week. The customers are mostly between the age of 21–35, which definitely makes David's a good spot to make new friends. It doesn't really matter if you're looking for a cool place to hang out with a friend or traveling by yourself. Just sit at the bar, you'll be having a conversation in no time. The domestic beers are 5$, so a steal in that regard too. Will sure visit again when I make it back to NYC from Finland.
David’s Bar is a great spot if you’re looking for good cocktails and a laid-back atmosphere. The vibe is always chill, and the drinks are consistently on point. Danny makes the experience even better with his friendly energy.
Great neighborhood bar with happy hour specials and chill atmosphere. TVs but not overwhelming sports vibes. Outdoor seats too!
I love Dave's! The drinks, positive vibes/ atmosphere, great bartenders and owner is awesome and super chill. The prices and location are great, also plenty of parking. It reminds me of cheers everyone knows each other and also trivia night is so much fun. I always have so much fun, good music/TVs and great intellectual conversations. Peace and love :)
This bar has chill and low key vibes. The bartender makes great drinks. This spot is a must go!
Best neighborhood bar in NYC won’t find a better beer shot combo in manhattan
Great bartenders and always a nice atmosphere here
Super chill. They're friendly and attentive. 10/10 would drink here again. Also music is fire. Danny keeps it real

This bar is my favorite bar in nyc! They have the best mix cocktails for such a reasonable price! The staff is amazing and so much fun, it feels like family there! But the best part of the bar is the young lady Jamie. She has best service in the entire state of New York and she is an absolute gift.
"This place has one of the best pool tables in the city! It's usually available, or there's just a quick wait. The atmosphere around the table is always super friendly and fun. My friends and I love coming here just for this! Definitely a solid 10/10!"
