What People Are Saying About Little Bar

Featured Review

Contributor

Contributor

In Short – Red bricks peering through wood-paneled walls lend this no-fuss bar a feeling of history, while red pillows strewn across wooden booths allow patrons enough comfort to settle in for the night. The mostly mid-20s corporate crowd eschews typical pretentious industry vibes and velvet rope drama for a more Reagle Beagle-like casualness. Serving wine and beer--and mostly beer at that--expect to see everyone swigging Guinness, Newcastle or Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
The bar doesn't have a license to serve liquor, but you can opt for a Vodka substitute with a Soju-infused cocktail such as Staten Island Iced Tea.
Where to Sit:
The front, corner booth boasts an unofficial VIP vibe. Patrons who snag it can survey the entire room.
Look Good:
Need to place a discreet cell phone call? Take advantage of the converted pay phone booth inside the bar.

I dig this place, especially since it's make over. Great beer selection and bartenders are generally pretty cool ... as long as their not slammed.

A great local bar to hang out at

by Marcus B

What a cool little joint!

Little Bar isn't that little, not huge, but certainly a good size to deliver a satisfying experience and is a nice warm place to get together with a group of friends and while away a few hours getting sozzled.

There are a bunch of booths, including a great one tucked just to the right of the entrance that can seat 8 - 10 peeps, is close to the bar and allows you to people watch (which I am partial to doing now and then)

The barmaid was friendly and cute, and they have darts, which I suck at, but who cares? They also have Karaoke on a Monday, and have a jukebox that has a good selection of tunes.

The great thing about this bar? Not a douchebag in sight! Which was VERY nice.

  • Pros: Cool vibe, good beer!
  • Cons: Parking can be iffy

Little Bar - Meh

by likesgood2eatfood

I think the bar has sort of seen its hayday. I went there tonight and there was no one in there. Kind of a boring scene. It's fine for a mellow beer after work, but with no hard liquor, it really can't be anything more than that.

  • Pros: Mellow
  • Cons: No hard liquor. Kind of over.
