123 Burger Shot Beer

My friends and I come here to watch football religiously and it's our drinking spot after our team plays every saturday.
The food is excellent. Easy cheap sliders for $1 each, phillys and a variety of fries or fried ravioli. Hits the spot.
Any of their draft beer is $3 a 12 ounce glass. So if you like a pricier beer like stella order 2 and do the math. Great deal.
I have been here a million times and have yet to have bad service like some reviewers are complaining about. Me thinks people are more concerned with being critics than just having a real good time. Judge for yourself. Ill be the guy playing beer pong.

This bar is horrible. They refuse to serve you water, even if you order a beer as well and make you purchase bottled water. They will only serve you tap water if you are "very intoxicated." Nice work encouraging responsible behavior 123. I would avoid this bar at all costs.

Pros: None

Cons: Rude service

Posted 09/11/09

This bar actually denies you the right to drink tap water..... 1st time for everything i guess.

The burgers were smaller than white castle and the wings were HORRIBLE.. lets not forget the watered down shots and wine..

Pros: big tv's

Cons: Bad Food, Bad service with Bad Attitudes, Bad drinks & FOOD

Posted 09/10/09

Please dont waste your time walking or riding to 10th ave for this spot.

The sliders are worst than White Castle's.

The $2 shots were just lemonade.

The spot was empty and we had to constantly hunt down the wait-stress.

My party spent over a $100 dollars in this spot and was denied tap water. We were told they ONLY serve bottled water...WTF...never in a million years would I have thought that I would be denied FREE water in America!!!

Pros: Big screen TV, Waffle fries

Cons: EVERTHING ELSE

Cool place to hang out and watch a sporting event. Bartender knew when I needed another drink eveytime.

Posted 08/16/09

this is the place to go to if you and your friends wants to have a good time w/o emptying your pockets. There $1 burgers, fries and the rest of the food are delicious and a wide array of drinks to choose from! staff are friendly and attentive. this place never fails me down.

Pros: very cheap!

Cons: gets crowded at times

Posted 08/15/09

Came here because a few friends were raving about it, and wasn't expecting much for $1 burgers, but they were so good! I wound up eating a bunch of them before I even knew it...Set up in the restaurant is cool and fun - good looking crowd and tasty shots and beers. Wound up getting full and pretty buzzed for very little. Highly recommended!

Posted 08/06/09

Went here with some friends for the game and we all had a blast. $3 beers are exceptional because you can get any kind. I drink stella which is 6-7 dollars anywhere else in the city. They are smaller mugs than other bars but the key is to order 2 at a time and there's the deal. Magic. burgers and waffle fries rocked and our server was funny (not to mention good looking in the tiny shorts haha). We will definitely be back!

Let me preface this with I have never written a review of a bar, but after last night I feel I have an obligation to put this up. Furthermore, I am a sports guy and ex-frat boy who has not met a drink priced at $3 and below that I don't like. To set the stage, 30 of us came in and were immediately forced to occupy 4 small tables because we had had the nerve to call ahead to give them a heads up that we were bringing a crowd and not making a reservation. As we approached the bar to order a drink, we were scolded because we had to order from the waitress because we now had these tables. As 30 of us could not fit at 4 tiny tables, we were rarely served as the waitresses couldn't get to everyone through our crowd on the rare occassion that they hadn't disappeared entirely. Just stand up and leave the tables you say? Walk near the bar and we got another stern talking to and they just made those of us who had to stand order from the tables as well. It felt like we were in timeout and I'm pretty sure that some of our parents were called. When we finally did manage to secede from the tables, we found that the bar service wasn't much better. If the bartender did acknowledge our presence, drinks flowed slowly and we ran the risk of a bartender accusing us of stealing another customer's seat while STANDING waiting for her to actually serve us. The said customer was then informed of our daring heist upon his return. Stop complaining and talk to the manager you say? I forgot to mention that he was one of the ones scolding us for trying to spend money at his business. In all fairness though, my friends and I have always been ahead of our time. Hats are apparently one of the seven deadly sins in this bar that describes itself as a throwback to your sorority and fraternity days and apparently the back patio closes as 9p which makes a lot of sense in the summer. You can find other great drink specials in this city - $3 half pints comes out to a $6 pint anyway and the shots are small and sugary - not that I wasn't expecting that, but given everything else it just isn't worth it. Grab your hat and avoid the walk to tenth avenue and check out one of the other city deals with servers who realize service does make some difference. I rated this one star, but zero is probably more fitting.

Pros: Cheap Drinks

Cons: Rudest Service in the history of bars

123 is the spot to watch sports! I am always here during the football season. I came her to watch the NBA finals and I had a great time. The concept is totally cool and very fun! Bring the guys to watch the games! 123 is the spot for Sports!

Pros: Bar, TV's, Waitresses, Bartender, Bar Food

Cons: none

Posted 06/25/09

I went out with some friends this past Sunday to the beer pong tournament...it was a blast! It reminded me of all the games I play in college, but better. No sticky floors or gross frat guys....instead the perfect game, with great people and service.

Pros: Cheap Beer

Posted 06/17/09

Went here for the first time last week. Went back this week. Going back again soon. The philly- or new york i guess- cheese steak was fantastic and you can easily order and eat 2 with a side of onion rings or waffle fries for CHEAP! our waitress felt comfortable enough in her skimpy outfit to be hilarious and her service was on point! We got a beer tube last time and they gave us two 123 hats with it- which despite their "no hat" rule they let us wear. possibly because the bar logo is on it. clever (and comfortable). CHEAP CHEAP DRINKS. Did I mention CHEAP!

Pros: food, drink, staff

Cons: nuttin

Posted 06/03/09

I was really hungry and I eat a lot!!! My wife likes it a lot too. I want to come back next week, maybe the card has change

Pros: Big burgers

Cons: Nothing

Posted 06/02/09

that you can't have tap water unless you're visibly intoxicated. I'm trying to stave off the hangover that will destroy the productive day I had hoped to wake up to by having a glass of water between beers. I'm told I have to buy bottled. If there's a 2 drink min and I'm sober sister that night, fine, I'll play your no-tap game to respect your business. But I've been drinking all night with five friends and you won't serve WATER??? Anything good about the place is lost on that one.

Pros: was having fun until...

Cons: i learned they have a rule...

Posted 05/26/09

I'm simply rating this on the fact that I found this bar online for places that are sports bars. This is def not a sports bar. It would appear to be one I mean they have 8 flat screen TV's. But don't get fooled they must use that for American Idol screening parties or something. Number one it was the second day the baseball season and they asked me to remove my hat. I'd have no problem with that if it wasn't 3pm in the afternoon and the reason why I was there was to watch the game. There were 3 other people in the bar with me, 1 guy had his hat on the bar. Clearly there for the same reason I was, and 2 other guys in the back with baseball jerseys on. The only reason I mention this is because what did they have on? Soccer, on EVERY TV. The manager came up and told the guy next to me he was going to put the game on right now. So he leaves and what comes on? The Mets game, only problem Mets were off. He put on the SNY encore of yesterday's game. Then never reappeared. I quickly downed my beer and moved on to a bar that would have a current game on. The place is cheap but don't go there to watch the game.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: no hats, no clue

When I saw the bad review from a blatantly fired employee i knew i had to stick up for 123.
My friends and i have gone here on several occasions and always have a great time. The supposed "awful" owner recognized us and came over to ask how our day was going. After chatting for a bit he got our table a free round of shots.
The waitresses were all smiles and took our orders happily.
The deals here are unbeatable! $3 for a 12 once stella (or almost any other beer you can think of) is amazing and ordered 2 at a time will have you leaving drunk without waking up to money regrets.
The bar food is incredible and includes sliders-3 for$3 is great- that I think one would be able to tell if there is meat in them. waffle fries couldn't be better and ribs are delicious.
The $2 shots seem pre-mixed and could be better but for $2 what's the complaint. You can't get a shot for double that anywhere.
123 is great and certainly deserves 4 stars but I gave them 5 as redemption to the clearly bitter ex-employee who childishly tried to taint the name.

Pros: great neighborhood bar or college hangout/PRICES

Cons: Shots are small but in bulk will do the trick for cheap

Posted 03/15/09

Cant say enough good things about 123. My girls and i have been going for a few weeks in a row now. Great prices and a lot of fun. Friendly staff and good music. i suggest getting a personal tap of stella and some waffle fries to keep you paced.
The cheap burger-shot-beer deal is no joke and is all week. if you enjoy a full bar go sun-wed. If you like a packed bar thurs-sat. either way you should have as much fun as we have been

Posted 01/09/09

Those little burgers are so good!!! for nyc you certainly can't beat the price and the staff is hot. Great atmosphere, good music, good food and cheap booze. Thats all i need! I went on saturday night and although the place was packed, it was worth it for the great time I had! highly recommended!

Pros: cheapcheapcheap

Cons: theres only one

Posted 12/11/08

I went last Sunday with my roommates to 123 to watch the Jets game, the mood on a Sunday afternoon was very football-centric and lively, as the TVs around the bar made for a great afternoon football atmosphere. The pricing scheme unique and was very inexpensive considering the amount of food and drinks that we received. The entire staff was friendly and amicable, highly recommended check it out.

Pros: Great service, friendly atmosphere, best deal in the city

Posted 11/24/08

Although it can get busy, it is for good reason. 123 is a great after work establishment, and is the perfect place for sunday football. They have every game, all you have to do is request it, and everything is ridiculously cheap! I brought a bunch of work friends and they loved the place. The service was awesome, and it never hurts to have a flirty staff. I really don't understand some of the negative reviews, I have gone in the place multiple times and have NEVER had a bad experience. Love it.

Pros: Cheap, great service, atmosphere

Cons: none

Posted 10/22/08

I had my best ever surprise birthday party at 123, which, my lovely wife planed 6 weeks in advance for it, every thing was perfect, the beer tubes, the sliders, the hot wings, the fries, the fried platers, the cheese platers, and the drinks, we had the backyard for 5 hours, every one had a great time, the staff did the best they can do ever, my friends and family had great time.

Posted 10/04/08

123 is really cool. I had a great time at this bar. Bring a bunch of friends and have a great time. We sure did! Also, the service was pretty good too. Nice bartenders, and cute!

Pros: 123! Service, Atmosphere

Cons: none

Posted 09/16/08

The place is way too crowded. The service leaves a lot to be desired and a little too much attitude for a neighborhood bar. If it's too good to be true, it usually is. Of course they charge less, everything is smaller. And by the way, it's way too obvious that all the good reviews on here are written by those who have an interest in the place . . . but, hey, you be the judge.

Pros: cool lighting

Cons: crowded, service, attitude

Posted 09/08/08

This is my new afterwork spot. They have $4 mixed drinks during happy hour until 8pm, and $3 beers all the time! They also have amazing french fries...

Pros: Cheap, Hot Bartenders

Posted 08/30/08

$1 burgers, $2 shots and $3 beers. what more can you want in life? I went on a Sat. night and it was a really fun atmosphere with flat screen TV's and a mix of music that goes back and forth between rock and hip hop. If you can snag a table you won't have any problems waiting for drinks. If not, you'll have to wait a ridiculously long time for the bar tender to acknowledge your existence.

Pros: great prices

Cons: very crowded. and it takes forever to get a drink at the bar

Posted 08/25/08

So I came across this place a few weeks ago, and am now a regular. You have got to check it out! The whole concept is a $1 burger $2 shot $3 beer - like fricken happy hour all day! And the variety of beer they have for $3 is pretty impressive - Brooklyn Summer, Sam Adamns, Stella, Shock Top, DosXX...even better are the tubes of beer that you can get for just $30! I got sh**faced and got some food too and left with some money in my pocket! Seriously a great find and if you haven't been here yet, you are missing out!!

Posted 08/13/08

saw this place going up 10th ave a few weeks ago and got a good opportunity to try it out before going to a concert at msg. they have a ton of good beers and a good concept...get your buzz on quickly and satisfy your munchies while you're at it. $3 beers, $2 shots, $1 mini burgers...did the trick.

Pros: quick service

Posted 07/13/08

I had a good time here. Attractive waitresses. Cheap beer/alcohol. Good cheap food. Not sure what this other guy is complaining about. The beers did not seem small and they are 3 for $10 including a tip. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Pros: Girls, Cheap Everything

Cons: None

Posted 07/10/08

I went here last Sunday with my friends in hopes of eating lunch here since $1 burgers and cheap wings were hard to pass up. However, we were informed that the chef wouldn't be in until 2pm! We got to the place at 12:30pm, so we would have to wait an hour and a half until we could get food. We were already seated at a table when we were told about the chef, so we stayed for one round of drinks (just to be polite) before heading out. Drinks were ok, but I had better.

I still want to try the food, so I'll be sure to stop in for dinner instead of lunch. After I try the food I'll write up a new review.

Pros: Cheap food

Cons: No chef before 2pm

Posted 07/07/08

Um... booty shorts. black booty shorts. hot hot girls. serving me 3$ beers ice cold. all night. ?!?!!?!? is this for real???? couldn't be happier that this place opened. makes me happy to live in hell's kitchen hahah. sat outside in the back and relaxed watching the girls strut around serving shots and making me happy. cheers to 123 and a big thank you to who ever thought of this place. its going to be huge if the weekends are already packed and its been open 2 months.

Posted 07/07/08

This place is bangin and fun! The bartenders are very knowledgeable and friendly and their drinks are made correctly. I love this place and everyone in it! GO 123!

Pros: Hot friendly bartenders

Cons: I wish it was closer to NJ lol but nothing else bad to say

Posted 07/07/08

New York definitely needed a place like this. Great atmosphere and really hot waitresses, who are surprisingly good at what they do. i just met up with a few friends there for a couple of drinks before dinner, ended up staying the night and made a meal out of the burgers (which by the way are incredible) but the best part was when the check came. i am not one to normally write a review but this place has to be seen. do yourself a favor and make a point of checking this place out!!!

Pros: Cheap, friendly and a great after work anytime of night hang out place

Cons: Wife's not too happy I found this place. They are open till 4!

Posted 07/05/08

My bf talked me into going, I liked it though, even I thought the girls were hot. Cheap drinks thats cool, we didn't eat but maybe some other time. Good location in Hell's Kitchen (if you live iin Hell's Kitchen that is ;) .

Posted 06/17/08

my friend recommended it to me and now I'm recommending this place to anyone who likes cheap drinks, hot bar staff and many plasma tvs. Friendly atmosphere and did I mention the staff is hot?

Posted 06/16/08

The food is great and the drinks are awesome! Don't be fooled, they have more than just dollar burgers (which are delicious). Their potato wedges and waffle fries are great, as are the wings. The $2 shots are fruity and fun and there are a lot to choose from! Beers are only 3 dollars, draft and bottle so there's a great variety depending on your taste. The waitresses are fun, good-looking, and very attentive. This is a great new hot spot! You should definitely come in and check it out.

Pros: hot waitresses, cool vibe, good music

Posted 06/13/08

All I have to say is this place is ridiculous. The food is addictive and the beer is only $3, ALLL PREMIUM!! WHAt!? When does that happen. Also getting served food by a hot waitress is a plus...who can argue with that.

Posted 06/13/08

I couldn't believe it, got there thursday night...$1 burgers, $2 shots and $3 beers all night long!!! 8-9 flat screens and the bar maids were amazing! the burgers are addicting! this is my new hang out spot!

Pros: happy hour 12noon---8pm

Cons: none
