Jeremy’s Ale House
“Even in this day & age where we really, really shouldn't be using Styrofoam anymore.”
“Bras on the ceiling, large jugs of beer at decent prices and yummy, artery-clogging fried foods made fast.”
“The best part is that despite only being a few blocks from the South Street Seaport and Wall Street there are rarely any tourists here.”

I always seem to end up here when I'm around South Street Seaport and can't think of anything else to do / want to kill some time.
It's a great place to go and kick back while enjoying 32oz beers at a pretty reasonable price (figure about $5ish for every 16oz). It's easy to spend a few hours there talking with friends, or sitting outside.
The ambience is about as casual as you can get. I've never seen anyone add their bra to the collection and that makes me sad.
The food choices are fried. That's about all I know. I've never had food there, but I was getting enticed to order some earlier today when the fried smell kept wafting over to me from the next table.
Be prepared for the place to be totally packed, though I've gone plenty of times and was able to get a seat with no problem.

NY Manhattan South Seaport

This is another amazing dive bar in lower Manhattan. It is a dirty and there is writing on every inch of the walls, ceilings, and furniture. They have bras every a couple feet. We actually got to see girl take off her bra and hand it to the bartender for a free shot. On plus side, we got to see some under-boob. As for drinks, you can a full glass of vodka and splash of cranberry or draft beer served in 32oz styrofoam cups. The Coors Light was only $6.50.
We watched the Bengals lose to the Steels. I bought a $1 scratcher.
A rare gem in the South Street Seaport. In a sea of yuppies and overpriced wine bar floats this old school dive bar. Bras on the ceiling, large jugs of beer at decent prices and yummy, artery-clogging fried foods made fast. The crowd is an eclectic group of urban Dominican dudes from the LES, drunk secretaries and Wall Street suits with pink ties. Check it out. Not for the uptight
One of My Favorite Manhattan Bars
Besides the Raccoon Lodge, this is one of my new favorites. Here it is in a nutshell, Jeremy's does 2 things really well and they stick to it.
1. Draft beers in styrofoam cups. A 32 ounce domestic draft beer in a styrofoam cup for 5 bucks. In NYC??? A great deal. The styrofoam cup is the signature of this place and I think it's pretty cool.
2. Cheap fried bar food. Cheese tots, burgers, fried simple apps, but done well. 5-6 bucks for apps. Another great deal.
Like I said before, this is what they do and they do it well.
Lastly, the coolest part (besides the cups) are the owners. They are always there working every station and these guys know how to treat people. They made us feel like we've been regulars for years.
PS: I watched American Pharaoh win the Preakness in the mud and the place went nuts.
Really cool bar!!!!
Thanks
I went here with some friends last week and it was pretty fun. There's something super authentic about a giant styrofoam cup filled with beer that you can't say no to, and we got some mozzarella sticks and wings that tasted great. The location isn't bad either — love the Financial District.
There were a few icky things about it, like the fact that the only open table when we arrived was super sticky and had, like, 6-8 half-empty styrofoam cups from a party before us that hadn't been cleared. But I don't know the whole story behind why it wasn't cleared up — maybe the staff thought it was all our mess? They didn't get a chance before we swooped in? I have no idea. I've worked in food service, so I always like to give the benefit of the doubt.
The whole bras-on-the-ceiling thing is also a good idea in passing, but when you look at them, they're all pretty gross and dirty. Being a lady, I know that your bras only look like that if you've been sweating in them, or haven't washed them in awhile. It's pretty unappetizing to see where people's sweaty, dirty boobs were. Share your clean bras with Jeremy's, ladies!
Yes, it is a dive bar. But this Seaport icon should be visited by everyone, even if you don't drink much like me these days. Dark, even dank sometimes and with ofttimes grimey floors, Jeremy's can seem off putting when you open the door. But when Hurricane Sandy tore through Manhattan, I hoped with a pang that Jeremy's wasn't a casualty. Joyously, the place where I used to drink for hours with my colleagues has clung tenaciously on, as faded as the bras that hang from its walls and ceilings but undeniably full of salty, charming ambience. The garden that used to draw heavy, imbibing crowds is gone. Who cares? Take your drink outside or chill at one of the huge tables or bars. The food here, depending on what you order, can be quite good. Sis and friends rave about the wings..buffalo and teriyaki. I always order the fried calamari. We tried the onion rings too this time and were addicted. If our grease quota for the year hadn't been reached by a meal of the two, we would have gone back for seconds. The calamari is tender, in a greasy, cracking crust. The onion rings are huge, battered slices that melt into sweetness in your mouth. Yes, there is enough oil to lube your bike. But this is good, old fried food. A beer can cut the oil. The cocktail sauce and slightly spicy marinara are delicious. Portions are generous. They have specials, like super cheap wings around Super Bowl time. You are served by people who seemed to have worked here for ages, and I wish they continue to serve drinks and bar grub forever. When Jeremy's shutters, it may seem as if the mermaids have stopped singing.
Hands down one of the cheapest and coolest dive bars in the area. Great music, awesome ambiance and great assortment of beer and drinks.
Great dive bar, cheap giant syrofoam cups full of beer, cheesy fries, and chill vibes. Couldn't ask for more in fidi. If you're lucky you'll get to meet THE Jeremy, and he'll grant you alcoholic wishes. .
Good for happy hour if your group isn't uptight, the floors are kind of sticky, the chairs are plastic, and there are bras hanging from the ceiling.
