Blue Ruin Bar 538 9th Avenue, Manhattan, New York 10018

"Best dive bar in Hell’s Kitchen. Pool table, sports on the TV, beers and drinks are priced right. Atmosphere you can’t beat. Jukebox full of classics and modern music."

"One of the best dives in NY. The drinks are reasonably priced, the bartenders are always great and make it a fun night. Highly recommend if you're looking for good drinks at a great dive."

"Definitely one of my favorite dives in NYC. The bartender was so lovely and attentive and had a nice time chatting and laughing with her! Loved the rock/metal music and continously good songs that would play! Def my style and will Def be back! Met the coolest people in here too and had a blast. With love from Savannah!"

"Rock' n Roll from the 90's, a good pool, a beautiful big wooden bar and a variety of beers and Bourbons. A great vintage cash register, in great condition and working. An American bar by definition. What more could you ask for? A menu with some elaborate drinks would be nice. It doesn't offer food (at least when we went Saturday night)"
