Great little dive bar. Its definitely a dive (think cheap beer and sticky floors) but still has good drink choices. We got a seat and were able to play Jenga and Connect Four. It started off open and moderately loud but became much more crowded and louder. It became progressively harder to get a bartender as the night went on.
Definitely plus 1 star for the free cheese puffs. But minus 1 star because they let me eat so many cheese puffs.
I don't really have anything good to say about this bar, other than the free cheeseballs and good drink specials that they run all night and not just for happy hour. They also have a nice outdoor space with some Connect Four stuff going on. But the really understaffed bar and poor service is the reason why every time I end up back at The Levee, I remember why I haven't been there in so long.
It's tiny and mobbed. It is always mobbed on hot nights, which is great. The lines for the bathroom get in the way of nearly everything. I have been here many times, but my most recent (and pretty terrible) experience is probably my last. I waited at the bar with my boyfriend for about 25 minutes before I was able to get a bartender's attention and get a drink. All the bartenders were running around, really unfriendly, and seemed generally pissed to be there. It was obnoxiously loud and the bartenders were bothered when they couldn't hear your order, yet I watched one of them turn the music up several times throughout the night.
It's just nearly impossible to get service or a drink when it's crowded and you're not a single white hipster girl with visible tattoos. I was too afraid to open a tab because I didn't want to wait 30 minutes before I was able to close it out and another 20 for the bathroom line. So, we ended up going to another bar. Ugh, The Levee.
Cute dive bar tucked in a little corner of Williamsburg on N. 3rd Street. Free cheeseballs on the counter, cheap drinks, good company. Came here for the first time with coworkers for a good night. Tried a frito pie, which is fritos covered in chili. Very delicious and inexpensive comfort food.
Another cute gimmick they have is that you can buy a friend a drink on credit. They will write your name on a board and how much money you have left in your "account".
heaven on earth. ok maybe not everyone shares my vision of heaven or whatever but im not even religious so cool it. cheese balls, twizzlers, bomb tunes, tons of games, some light but not too much, kinda sticky. place gets packed but why wouldnt it?! it's heaven on earth duh!!
Yes, the main selling point is the cheese balls with your drinks.
The second is the low prices. The beer and a shot deal will set you back around $7.
Tho sober me disapproves, drunk me really wanted a chili cheese hot dog, so I had that in addition to my beer, shot and cheese balls… I had fun, but that hot dog was still questionable. There's a vegetarian hot dog option, which has lots to do with the neighborhood. lol
Music was fine. I think this should be a good place for groups.
There are some tables and an outdoor area. There's that deer hunter game in the back, darts and a pool table. There are supposedly board games.
I'd recommend it if you are bar crawling, probably a good second stop after you eat something. I would come back.
This is a dive bar so I suppose gnarly stank bathrooms come with the territory. But when I first walked in I noticed the entire bar smelled, so its not just limited to the bathrooms. It smelled like pits and socks and I kinda felt reluctant to drink from the glass my drink was in. The patrons are understandably hipster the music selection definitely caters to that demographic. I honestly do not think there's one song in that juke box that's made after the 90's.
On a nicer note they do have cheese balls but I didn't try it.
Fun vibe – decent selection of beer and whisky with cool combos (Lone Star + shot of tequila) or the Fratboy (bud (?) + shot of jagermeister). Also have a selection of late night snacks
The bartenders were great, barbacks were a little standoffish
My only concerns were
1. the bathroom – unisex and dirty as hell, but I guess that is to be expected of a unisex bathroom
2. I love places that allow dogs, but there was a super smelly dog roaming around without his owner… like clean dogs only please, I was gagging
Somehow always end up here for a drink or two after hitting up nitehawk. Young hipster crowd but not much pretension. Decent beer selection and nude photo hunt in the back. Good times. Will be back.
