Nice Guy Eddie’s

Not too pleased with the burger here.

Nice Guy Eddies is apparently closing forever tomorrow, so it doesn’t pay to post a review. All I have to say is «thanks for the memories.»

$ 7 for stella. i thought it was supposed to be happy hour?
A/​C broke. flies everywhere. bathrooms that could’ve come out of a horror movie.
not a fan

It was about 3am Saturday morning. I don’t know how I got here or why I got here, but I’m glad I did. I had been drinking all day, checking out NYC bars for when I move. I’m glad I stumbled in here.
My friend decided to just drink water, I’m a trooper so I ordered 2 gin and tonics and 2 bud lights thinking she would probably drink something. She drank about half the bud light. The gin and tonic was strong to say the least. I mean its a pretty standard drink, I don’t know of anyone who has messed one up.
The next day I tried to collect all my thoughts from the night before, the ones that were not lost in the plight of martinis and gin and tonics. To give me a helping hand I checked my bank account. Various bars, clubs, and restaurants I hardly remember. This was the last stop on my list so it probably had the best chance of standing out anyway– not to mention my bill was $ 22. $ 22 for 2 gin and tonics and 2 buds? Yes, please. I almost felt like I was in a bar in Chicago getting some neighborhood drink specials.
I’m sure I will late night stumble in Nice Guy Eddies sometime soon.

It’s a dive sports bar with a pool table and a 2-​for-​1happy hour — I can have two beers for under $ 5, well then ok! Other than that it is kind of dirty and attracts a strange crowd. Some friends ordered food, which was pretty much all fried bar food. I didn’t hear any feedback either way on the goodness or badness of it. The service seemed friendly enough and was efficient, so no complaints there.
If you’re in the area and need a bit fo a sit down and refreshment — Eddie’s works. There are plenty of nicer places just up the Avenue on A for pretty much anything else.

A true happy hour dive spot.
Come in for the cheap drink specials and the convenient corner location.
Window area is great for people watching.
The bathrooms are what really solidify this place as a dive bar. Messy and plastered with porn pictures and flyers. You might find your next sweet heart on that wall, hahhah just kidding it’s gross in there. Don’t touch anything.

Believe it or not, the food at this joint is pretty much bangin. I went on a whim with some friends and was REALLY surprised at how incredible our meal was. My friend had the fish sammie, which had a unexpectedly amazing caper/​horseradish sauce on it, and I had the special, low country ribs. I’ve never, ever, been into Tennessee rub bbq, but these ribs were so dang good. I have a feeling that there’s someone new running that kitchen, cause the food’s leveled up SIGNIFICANTLY. I’ll be back… soon…please have the ribs again.

It’s sad, but the main reason I come here for my favorite bartender, lol.
That aside, the bar here is pretty decent. The happy hour is great! We created a dish that you should try if you go back. The regular cheese fries with grilled chicken, bacon bits and jalepenos. VERY GOOD. The juke box in here has some really good tunes! There is a pool table in the back, $ 1 a game. Pretty interesting collection of people who come here. Mid-​day and late day regulars, some creepy, most are hilarious! Stop on in and get tanked one day! There is plenty seating for you and your crew in here. Great for sports days because of all the televisions. It’s a very well rounded place inside.
A couple of the bartenders are a bit flighty, but that is everywhere. The majority all know their stuff and can be heavy handed at times. Day time there is just one on staff, evening I believe it’s 3. It can get a tad crowded at night, The wait staff was attentive whenever I sat at a table so no complaints from me there.
The bathrooms are interesting. They are tagged/​wallpapered with…½ — ²⁄₃ naked black & photo’s of women. Like I said interesting. Very easy to get distracted and just search the walls, lol

One of the best happy hours Ive been to in the city. Played music on the jukebox and enjoyed our cheap beers,
The bartender was friendly as well.

I’m not sure about the GUY part of the name… and I never met Eddie… but the GALS, that is the waitresses of this place certainly live up to the name. GOSSIP (our previous bar) should send their waitstaff here for training!
The NGE waitresses were always on the spot. Ready to take our orders… or pictures… or pose for one. Chatty, friendly, and… er… well-​dressed. The waitresses here all deserve raises… and I don’t know how much they’re being paid.
Our table was ready when we came in. Initially, there was minor confusion when I asked a waitress for food.
«That’s not my table,» she said. «You have to order from the bar.»
«You mean no waitress service?» I asked.
«Oh no,» came the answer. «Don’t worry. The bar will come to you.»
Seemed like Mohamed and the mountain, but in fact the bar (tendress) DID come over and was terrific. As was everyone else in the place– including the other customers. The food: nachos, wings, fries, was unspectacular. And Eddie’s Ale (house brand), was just OK+, but you won’t care. Come for the fun and the service. Bring your friends. You’ll leave with a smile. –Drink Club NYC is a roving group of NYC drinkers

Nice Guy is a forgettable sports bar

I came here with a party of 5 after a zogsports football game.
This place was the «sanctioned» after game happy hour bar.
THe service was very slow and just plain dumb — forgot everything.
The wings took about 30 mins to come out. They weren’t bad when the actually did come out.
the special was $ 10 bud/​bud light pitchers. They ran out of bud light, so we got bud which tasted like crap. They don’t clean their lines enough. So we defaulted to $ 4 bottles of Coors light, which is pretty good.
All in all, it fails for food, service and dive bar drink specials.

Divey sports bar, but has good bar food — sampled an array of greasy bar food which was perfect with a few pitchers of beer as we watched the game. I highly recommend the chicken fingers (good fry, not just frozen blocks encased in a rubbery shell) and fresh onion rings. Both would be enough to get me back if in the area.

My boyfriend still laughs at me because I couldn’t eat the hot wings. It was good though, I just remember mainly baseball playoffs, nice staff, really packed, people playing pool in the back.
Nice Guy Eddies is a guy bar. If you’re a girl looking to pick up a guy, come here!
I came here on a date, I just remember seeing a lot of guys.
TV’s everywhere (which my bf loves) while it distracts him from our long romantic talks. But it’s okay because I’m a sports fan also and I scream louder than him when my team scores.
Cold beers, can’t go wrong. And HEAVY on the vodka… I got a vod & cj and I just remember it was strong as hell!
And I was lucky to find parking right in front! wohoo for me!

Nice happy hour special and the bartenders are usually pretty nice. I ate here years ago (I’d say at least 10 or 11 years ago) and I remember their chicken being really good but since I haven’t eaten here since then, I don’t really feel comfortable saying the food is still good.
This place is a bit of a LES institution and I like that it basically hasn’t changed.

Delivers exactly what you ordered: cheap-​ish beer, decent-​ish wings, fairly empty, music selections that make you perk up to rock about one in five songs, friendly staff, dirty bathrooms.
…Get what you neeeeed…

If you are looking for a true LES dive bar, Nice Guys Eddie’s is your place.
What you get:
— Sub par food, it is a dive bar, don’t come hear to eat!
— Decent service
— A free drink token for each drink you order during happy hour
— Good prices
What you will NOT get:
— An extensive beer, wine, or cocktail list.
— Crowds, dive bars are not meant to be crowded, if there are more people there than there are seats in the place, IT IS NOT A DIVE!
If you want to not get dressed up, drink a bud light, while people watching on Houston, this is your place. If you get hungry walk somewhere close and grab a bite to eat, chances are you seat will still be waiting for you by the time you get back to Nice Guy Eddies.

There’s not a lot to say about this place that hasn’t been said. It’s a typical bar where you might drink a bunch of Bud Lights.
There are a number of other bars in the area with a much better selection of beer, so I probably wouldn’t venture out of my way to get a drink here.
There is a pool table and enough room for big groups, so that’s useful in case you can’t get into a nearby place and need beer pronto, tonto.

Was looking around for a bar that wasn’t packed to watch a ball game. We certainly found it.
Wouldn’t go out of my way to go back, but they sell beer in pitchers and have wings. So then again — I wouldn’t be totally against it.

*shudders*
The couple of times I’ve been here, I’ve been two sheets to the wind with a group of individuals in similar states or even more gone than I was.
This place is grungy and grimy yo. I did not want to lean up on anywhere and neither did anyone else. The drinks were not well made at all — either too strong or too weak or with the wrong alcohol in them; you can’t mess up beers I guess. I think the only reason why we came here was because one of our party was named Eddie and he wanted to go into the bar. We all drunkenly obliged and then promptly started complaining.
Yes, we’re loud, annoying drunks.
I never went back after the last time. And when people suggest it, I shut them down. Fast.
Nice Guy Eddies, nice guys do not frequent your establishment. Nice girls come here when they don’t know any better and end up taking pictures of themselves wearing hats in different angles.
