- Don't have draft beer. - There's a pool table in the back
Great place and lovely friendly people 🌀❤️😻
Cozy, out of the way place. Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders, reasonably priced drinks. Fun photo booth and pinball. Across the street from the bakery so you can grab a snack. Only downside is it’s a hike from the subway.
I love the Windjammer Bar! And to think that's only 2 blocks away from me and never tried it before. Cool people, nice bartender, good price drinks! I am glad I finally dared to go in.
Wonderful neighborhood spot to pick up a copy of GUNK (NYC's Indie Music Show Paper).
I really enjoyed visiting this venue. I had the opportunity to hear three dreampop bands and all of them played amazing. The prices are ok and the atmosphere is welcoming. There's a $5 pool table and comfy chairs.
MIC MOUTH COMEDY SHOW EVERY 1ST SATURDAY!!!! HOSTED BY THE HILARIOUS NATASHA FERRIER

Chill spot. Has sports on the telly and good venue space in the back
Good neighborhood dive with locals and a relaxed atmosphere. They do karaoke and house shows in the back regularly, and some grilling outside.
Cool old school watering hole. A real sailor bar. Loved it
Fantastic little neighborhood place to unwind after a long day. Prices are incredibly reasonable and the bartenders are really chill. There’s games and a pool table for group fun and the last time we went in, everyone took a hand at playing along with Jeopardy. Awesome place to go and hang out. 11/10 do recommend
What a great bar. A perfect neighborhood dive with a great beer selection, a much needed pool table, and great venue space in the back. Also, the bartender never gives me a hard time when I ask for something weird like a Rum & Tonic.
Great spot, extremely chill, very cheap, fun games and great pool. Bartender was chatty and friendly. Will be back!
Awesome little bar with a friendly staff and reasonably priced drinks. They were also playing VHS horror movies which is always automatically a 5 star review.

No frills dive bar. Chill service on a Sunday evening. Nothing to complain about. And their beer selection is actually pretty good.
This could have easily been a 5 star review the resort just need minor adjustments. I’ll get to how my food sat in the lobby for three hrs later on in this review . The resort is beautiful but very pricey. First off a drink is 18$ a rotti that I pay $9 dollars for is $38 here even if you get all inclusive it’s still a extra charge on food and beverages , for instance steak and eggs is a extra $25. I wanted to taste st Lucian food and this isn’t it. It’s not bad but don’t expect to taste the food of their culture . The rooms are very spacious you also have a very huge patio but you have to take a shuttle to your room or else your have to walk up hills and not to mention when you get to your room you still have to walk up numerous stairs. I came to this resort for my honeymoon and because of this we’re planning another honeymoon somewhere else .They did have a bottle of champagne in the fridge and the fridge smelled like seasoning therefore we didn’t eat the tiny chocolates they left uncovered. We don’t touch the champagne either.Lastly I ordered from a local restaurant and they claim they called the room and I was sleep at 7 instead of coming to check to seek if I’m ok they waited till 10pm to call the room back therefore my food sat in the lobby for 3 hrs ridiculous.

I'm just a chill guy but if you sit here at the bar there's a tattooed bartender that really not pleasant. It's like he doesn't want to make he's money. He made us feel unwanted, I'm guessing because he was busy talking to his friends. Other than that it's a really cool place. The bartender should go home and reconsider his life because it's not a guests problem that he's having a bad day or whatever. Peace
Bizarre vibes at this bar. my friend and i walked in and all the customers and bartender turned their head at the same time and stared at us for a while. Like yes we aren't regulars and my friend is asian (every single person in this bar is white), but you dont have to be so weird about; it extreme "Get Out", the movie, vibes from this bar. no comments on the bartender that other people seem to be complaining about. I've walked by this bar for like 15 years, thought i'd try it and felt very uncomfortable here.
Workers there have nasty attitudes and was about to start a fight with one of them over nothing . Not recommended at all .
Bartender with the tattoos is a see you next Tuesday and the Tito’s and vodka was trash. This bar will never be on my list of bars ever again. Congratulations. You played yourself.
Place is set up nice, good beer selection, but bartender would rather read his book than check on customers
