While the outside retains the characteristic Soho facade, the inside boasts a contemporary space of clean lines, back-lit lighting, dark wooden walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, a marble-topped bar and beige leather banquettes. Bar 108 provides a young yet sophisticated crowd of neighborhood college students with a place to watch sports on one of eight LCD TVs, and serves as a meeting spot for one last drink after a night out on the town. During the day, tourists stop in to take a break from the bustling shops nearby.

Hits: College students sick of the neighborhood dives need not worry about calling home to up monthly stipends. Bar 108 serves up over 30 varieties of bottled beers, and $5 drafts.

Misses: The playlist--which includes a shuffle of greatest hits albums from the likes of the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Beach Boys and U2--is a reminder of the bar's generic, dime-a-dozen motif.

Key Points

  • UFC
  • Happy Hour / After Work

Ratings_icons Nice waiters but bad food

justJD

I went on Friday, Oct 30, 09. We ordered beer and fried calamary, salat with chicken and french fry. Everything was over fried. Don't waist your time

Pros: Waiters realy good

Cons: Food worst I ever tried

Ratings_icons Cool staff, hoegaarten on tap

eat_club

A great find, if you can get there before 10 on the weekend. (The weekend starts on Thursday.) Come later and you might be squeezed out by NYU jocks and jockesses. On weekdays, the place is less crowded all night. There are plenty of TVs, and it seems as if it's fashioning itself a sports bar. Fortunately, it's failing in that and turning into a nice neighborhood bar instead.
The waitstaff and bartender are all spectacularly friendly and accommodating. Not much choice in food. Nachos, or hummus. (Chicken wings are on the menu, but I don't believe they ever have them). Not bad beer choices, though. Hoegaarden on tap and we bought it by the picherfull. You can (and should) call in for pizza delivery from the terriffic Arturos, right next door. --Drink Club is a Roving Group of NYC Drinkers

Pros: good beer selection, friendly accommodating staff

Cons: just about no food

Ratings_icons love it

Rmirk

perfect addition to the neighborhood. i've been meeting my girlfriends here afterwork since they opened- (they have $5 wine that's actually decent!) and now that the weather is warming up they open the big windows on houston street and its as close to outdoor seating as you can get. my only complaint is that the kitchen isnt open yet and they keep telling me just a few more weeks!

Pros: big open windows, happy hour wine specials

Cons: no food yet, they say kitchen opens june

Ratings_icons Perfect place to grab a beer!

tayday

Bar 108 is the ideal place to grab a beer and watch a game! I stopped in the other day with a bunch of friends and I really enjoyed my time there. They have a great selection of beers and all of the appetizers I tried were delicious! If your looking for a casual yet classy spot to take in a game- this is definitely it!

PS- I also thought that the service was great which is always a plus!

Pros: Service, Ambience

Ratings_icons My new hangout!

ktmay813

I usually never write posts but, I live down the street from Bar 108 and a friend suggested we check it out for an early drinking spot saturday night... great call.

What ended up being a quick drink turned into a few rounds of drinks and wings. There are so many different beers and the bartender was really helpful at recommending a good one! Also... YOU MUST TRY THE WINGS... soooo good!

Definitely a new favorite hangout.

Pros: great wings

Ratings_icons Great Place to Catch a Game

ItalianSpaghetti

Stopped by Bar 108 the other night for the Knicks/Spurs game on the advice of a friend of mine and I was really impressed. The drink list is one of the best I've seen at any bar, the wings were top notch and the waitresses were as hot as they come. It was a great environment to watch the game and I'll definitely be going back soon.

Pros: Atmosphere, Drinks, Crowd

Cons: Decor

Ratings_icons Give me wings, beer, and sports and I'm in!

sgsxoxo

It's corner location made it stand out to me in the first place so you can imagine my surprise when I gave it a shot and found the experience quite pleasant. I was immediately taken care of the moment I sat down at the bar and found the service from there extremely accommodating. The food was delicious and served hot, just the way I like it! I will definitely be back!

Pros: clean (unlike most places where beer is served and sports are played)
