Josie’s Bar
“It's the perfect neighborhood bar, with a pool table, flat-screen TV, jukebox, and plenty of seating.”
“It used to be Joe's until the owner died last year and now it's in the same family as Sophie's on 5th street and Mona's on Avenue B, although this bar might be the most relaxed of the three.”
“Plus the Jukebox is better – I was getting sick of Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder on repeat.”

Josie, you are classier than your sister Sophie that dirty slut… what to do what to do.. I will have to ask Maggie's opinion… :-P. Hmmnn.. Josie fulfills my requirement of drinking establishments adorning the walls with taxidermy and having a kickass jukebox ;-). Classy classy classy. Less NYUers come in here than Sophie's too.. Maggie approves.

"Beer, Pool, and Taxidermy" is the tag line for this dingy dive bar. Also the Bear outside is a Pokemon Go Battle Arena. The bar had a continuous flow of one drink patrons with a couple guys dominating the quarter pool table. I had a markers ($8) served in small Gibraltar glass with chip ice. Overall, it was not bad but I don't think I would return for a particular reason.
Came here after work for a company outing. The food and service is ok. Weds night looked slow and food is regular bar food, not too tasty. They do have pool tables which is a plus but definitely save your appetite for dinner elsewhere. Good place to gather for happy hour after work.
Josie's is out-fucking-standing.
It's the perfect neighborhood bar, with a pool table, flat-screen TV, jukebox, and plenty of seating. I've met up with friends here, and haven't experienced any problems. They don't have a kitchen, so order a pizza or bring in a sandwich to go with your drink[1].
Their bartenders aren't known for their gentle pours – at least in my experience.
Short on cash? They accept credit cards, like most bars should in the 21st century.
