Just had my Birthday there this weekend. It was GREAT. The staff is wonderful. The drinks are good and not watered down. I def. recommend this place to grab a drink, happy hour and a Bday party. Bar 82 is not huge but not too small, clean, cool artwork and a nice pool table in the back Oh and a great music. Thanks to the staff I will be stopping by soon.

....surprise, this cute little place was. A friend and I had been walking around the East Village on Sunday afternoon (7/13/08) after having had a lovely brunch about an hour or so before we literally ran into Bar 82. It was indeed a pleasant stop off - we were hot and wanted a drink in a cool spot. The Happy Hour sign outside is what really drew us in, offering 2 for 1 well drinks, etc. I ordered vodka and cranberry and she ordered an Appletini. The drinks were strong, the atmosphere welcoming, the music good (someone had just loaded up the jukebox with some lovely oldies - from Do-op to Hall and Oates) and the bartender - so very gracious. My friend's Appletini was huge and I got my 2 for 1 well drink special - all together, 3 drinks came to a grand, cheap total $11 and another hour of our "girl's day out" was well spent at Bar 82. I am going back there and SOON!
Pros: Excellent all around
Cons: None

bar 82 is one of the best bars i've been to in a long time. they have a chill-out kind of vibe with couches, low coffee tables, space to move around and a sweet internet jukebox. somehow you can listen to great music and hold conversations at the same time, its the perfect atmosphere. they have the friendliest staff in the world and do everything to make you feel comfortable.
i had my birthday party there last weekend and everyone had such a great time. between the pool table, great drinks and even company - what else could you ask for? i will be going there for a long time, and bringing everyone i know with me.
Pros: friendly staff, chill atmosphere, great drink specials, pool table & couches
Cons: none

Bar 82 is great on any night of the week, on the weeknight or weekend, it doesnt matter. The crowd is great, its never too crowded, and the location is perfect and everytime I go I have a blast! The service is nice, the bartenders friendly, and I highly recommend anyone going there, the drinks are pretty good!

I just found bar 82 and I love it! It's right around the corner from my house so my roomate and I have been going pretty regularly. It has a pretty chill atmosphere during the week and a great party crowd on the weekends. It's always alot of fun and we loooove the bartenders! It's a pretty new bar and I hope it does well. After work drinks wouldn't be the same without those velvety couches that we're growing so used to.
Pros: relaxed but fun, sweet couches, good prices

I have been To BAR 82 several times (both Weekend and weeknight) and each time was a blast. Never to crowded, Great Location, Great music, Great Bartender and generally Great Atmosphere.
The Pool table was a bonus. The Bartender being HOT was a double bonus.
My friends and I will be back soon and frequently.

Bar 82 just opened this past year... I heard about it from the friend of mine.
Since the opening, I have visited the location on several instances, and, each time, I was not to be disappointed!
The bar has a great location, is neat and clean, a fantastic social atmosphere, an unbelievable selection of liquors, and a superb staff.
Highly recommended for all.

Wow, what a great place. Went with a group of 4 and had many cocktails. We shot a few games of pool and played the jukebox. We had plans to go somewhere else but decided to stay here, the vibe was perfect.
Pros: Jukebox, Drinks, Vibe, Service & Staff
Cons: None
