Greenwich Treehouse

This is a solid local bar to catch up with some friends. I love coming when Jay is working because he’s pleasant and plays great music. No food is served here but you can order delivery from anywhere. If you decide to order pizza, you’ll probably end up making some new friends at the bar. Not to mention, there are a ton of delicious pizza spots within walking distance (for ex Joe’s and John’s of Bleecker St). I like hanging out here too because sometimes they have cult classic movies projected instead of sports. Cheers.

I genuinely like this place. Maybe its nostalgia, maybe it’s the cheap drink specials (or maybe it’s both?)
This part of town isn’t a desert for bars by any stretch of the imagination, that is, unless you’re looking for a cheap drink. Yeah there is Jonny’s not too far away, but I never really cared for that place (I LOVE dive bars but I find the staff here to be on the rude side, and the whole place to be over hyped in general). Greenwich Treehouse is not a dive bar, not by a long shot, don’t get me wrong. What it is, is a place that is on the eclectic side (read; laid out kind of poorly with décor that appeals to college age kids) that has really good drink specials*. Looking for a classy place to bring a date to? Yeah this isn’t it, but if you’re looking to hang out with a group of friends it’s absolutely worth checking out. The beat the clock special on Thursdays’ can’t be beat (see what I did there?). 1 $ beers from 5 – 6 (yep, that’s right dollar beers), going up 1 $ an hour every hour until 8 (serious bang for your buck). 4 $ house drinks and 2 $ off you already cheap drafts for normal happy hour every other day of the week (including Friday and Saturday), means that no matter what day it is, if you’re here between 5 – 8 you’re saving a few pennies. If I am in the area with a group this place is pretty high on my list of pregame bars (or nightcap bars), for convince and price.
All in all it’s a solid spot, great for after work with a few friends (especially on a Thursday… just saying).

*OK drink SPECIAL, but beat the clock night aside, this place really does have cheap drinks.

We went on a Monday evening for their happy hour. Great authentic and friendly bar; leans divey but cozy and with great deals! They don’t serve food but you can order in or bring your own

Great find thanks to the Unilocal app. The bartender was friendly and we chatted about Star Wars (of course). The vibe of the place is laid back (at least when we were there) and surprisingly quiet. My wife and I had 2 beers and sat at the table overlooking the street. We love people watching and the high view is perfect for viewing the busy street. I loved the small semi-​private room in the back that would be great for a group that wants to keep to themselves. This place was one of the last stops on a whirlwind trip to NYC and it was a great finish to the evening.

This is a popular hangout for The New School MFA students, which is why I (reluctantly) come here every week or so, but my experiences just haven’t been all that good.
PROS: Arcade games, decent drinks, a back room/​library where you can adjust the lighting (granted, this is a total dive, so there’s penises and phone numbers scrawled everywhere), a large table for big group seating, videos playing, Yoda.
Plus, they like to leave free food out (Pocky, rice krispie treat cakes, etc), which is really great. When this place isn’t popping/​crowded, it’s not bad. There are window seats and it can make for a nice place to chill.
CONS: The bartender that everyone complains on here about? Yeah, he’s very rude for no apparent reason, and it ruins the experience every time I come since he seems to work the shifts that line up nicely with when I get out of class.
He asks to see our IDs every single time we come in here, which I get, standard policy, but we come here like *every week* and sometimes only order water. Then he stares at our IDs for approximately 3 minutes as if they’re fakes, even though we’re all 22 – 30. But whatever.
We were kicked out of a party room in the back recently which we didn’t know was a private party room, and not in the friendliest of ways. The staff are… well, maybe I just have bad luck.
The bathrooms are pretty grimy and could use a good cleaning.
The biggest problem is how crowded this place gets. I mean PACKED, super hot, no fans or anything to break up the sweaty, humid atmosphere. Nowhere to sit, just bodies packed against each other. And that’s a standard dive, sure, but it’s not the kind of place you want to go when you want to chill.
So Treehouse, I will continue to visit you and pray that Dave (?) is nicer to us, because this is where all of my friends/​classmates go, but I still don’t understand why you disappoint me so.

Worst Bartender I’ve ever encountered. He looks like the guy in The Foo Fighters but stuck in a 12 year old boys body. If you aren’t nerdy enough or if he feels like you don’t belong in «his» bar he will ask you to leave and give you crap service with rude remarks until your gone. He will talk bad about you to other customers. This guy is probably in his mid 40’s and clearly will not give up his glory days from the 90’s.

Stopped in for a drink before dinner. I couldn’t see the beer taps and it was too crowded to get a better view, so I asked the bartender what was on tap (there was only 5 selections). The bartender, who wasn’t particularly busy at the time, proceeded to berate me for asking him what he felt was a stupid question. It’s unfortunate that an otherwise decent bar decided to hire such an obnoxious person. Would not recommend.

Such a great bar! It wasn’t overcrowded, played great music, and had a fun vibe. Our bartender Jay was so nice too.

Hrmmm– love this place, I do.
Yes, that’s Yoda speak for you. Because Yoda oversees the proceedings from the titular treehouse that hangs in this whimsical bar that’s a nerd’s paradise. Superhero paraphernalia adorns the walls, and they’re usually playing Star Wars on loop on at least one of the bar’s screens.
It’s my go-​to Halloween spot after the Village parade. And while the $ 5 Halloween night cover might seem like a bit of a drag, it’s worth it to revel amidst your fellow nerds clad in superhero attire or Jedi garb. Lightsabers encouraged.

Nice bar. Nice happy hour.
It looks a little different than your average NYC bar and that is much appreciated. They have private rooms in the back that are perfect for groups of about seven, so nice to go with some co-​workers after work.
Happy Hour prices aren’t out of this world but they are certainly good enough.
Would go back for sure. Really nice vibe.

Solid spot for good deals on drinks and a chill, friendly vibe. It’s a bit of a dive, but that’s easy to surmise from the outside and the $ 1 beer specials early on Thursday evenings. Treehouse theme on point — there’s a large treehouse (feat. a Yoda doll peeking out) and a small book-​lined private room in the back.
Now, could they do even more with this cool theme? Definitely. Is it a little noisy and hard to stake out spaces for conversation when it gets crowded? Yep. Are the $ 3 PBRs cheap for Manhattan but still generally grim? Of course. But if you’re thinking of all these things while at a bar, you’re probably not the first person people call when looking for a crazy night out (take it from me).

4 beers for $ 24 makes me happy. So do non pretentious joints and cool bartenders. It was super divey in here, not sure when the last time this place had a good scrub down.

Super chill bar. Funky interior. Bartenders are friendly and easy going. There’s s few arcade games and a back area for larger groups. I had fun!
Reasonable prices too.

I really like this place prices are very fair! Great little golf video game and a hidden yoda!

Happy hour is 5 – 8. Half off beers and well drinks! Most of their beers come out to $ 4. They don’t have a lot of options on draft but they have a lot of bottles, so you’ll probably find something that’ll suit your taste buds.
Every time I come here during happy hour, I always get a seat. It’s never too packed, which is perfect for me (since I hate crowds and loud groups. And yes, I know this makes me sounds like I’m 80 years old but I’m okay with that). I think it’s because it’s a bit hidden. You have to go upstairs in order to enter the bar.
The place is kind of divey (the front is definitely less divey than the back so try to grab a seat there) but if you’re just looking for a few quick/​cheap drinks, this is the perfect place to do so!

This sports bar is a good spot to gather for a group, watch a game or get drunk & sing & dance with your friends like no bodies watching. Always have a Happy Hour special going on. The bartender is David Grohl from Nirvana & Foo Fighters, he’s the man! Don’t use the jukebox the screen is broken & it eats your $.

Happy Hour prices are great. Location is great. Drinks are great. The bartender is super friendly. It’s a cozy bar. It doesn’t necessarily resemble a treehouse, but the décor would say otherwise. The bar is a fan of the Red Sox, which is pretty awesome. They also have a jukebox!

Greenwich is a fun little-​divey (ish) bar that has amazing happy hour specials and decent evening prices as well. I came here as I was waiting for a table to open for dinner down the street and sat at the bar with a few friends. It was a Saturday night and fairly crowded but nothing too bad. They had a movie projected on the wall, I can remember what it was, but I want to say Star Wars? Either way, it has that hip/​sportsy/​divey thing going for it and I liked it.
Mixed are around $ 8 a pop for well and I believe their happy hour is $ 4. Its a great place to kill an hour or two and don’t be afraid of the weird alleyway steps up.

I came here for my roomie’s college reunion. She reserved the back of the bar for the occasion. You head upstairs to access the bar and it’s the front part of the bar is a balcony overlooking the sidewalk below, which is different. Then there’s a small bar area in the middle and the back room with just a wooden table right in the middle, some comfy chairs to the side for a smaller group, 2 bathrooms and a jukebox. Then there’s an even smaller room within the room and you can close the door too. Yoda is in a treehouse as well. It’s a little weird setup but the turnout was great.
The beers are warm by the way. It’s definitely a divey feel but I wouldn’t really come back again.

My fiancé (so weird to say that!) and I threw an impromptu engagement party here Sunday night. We stopped in around 4 and met Trey and asked if we could have some friends over in the back room. It was his first day, but he kindly agreed to let us come. It was perfect. We brought in a few pizzas for everyone, had privacy in the back space and celebrated all night. Beers were only $ 2.75, they had the football games playing and everyone had an awesome time. Thank you so much to Trey!
Only issue is that TVs could use an upgrade. The one in the back room looked like it was from the 90s.
