Duff's

"Just a fricken awesome Rocker bar. Best rock memorabilia I’ve seen in any bar, ever. Nothing to fault here, great music, cheap drinks and a welcoming great vibe."

"Duff's, Brooklyn is a sanctuary for metalheads, a in a city infected by pop, autotune and repetitive empty tunes, this bar stands a lone for the few metal spirits out there. The bar is packed with memorabilia, and a lot of the decoration is dedicated to local rockstar Peter Steele, creating an intense atmosphere that says heavy metal! Great music, cold beer. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the bartender knows how to pour a strong one. It's a dive bar with a unique vibe, where you can let loose and enjoy the raw energy. Whether you're there for the music, the drinks, or the unapologetically gritty ambiance, Duff's delivers a one-of-a-kind experience. Just be ready for a wild night. The only bad thing; Restroom stink badly."

"This iconic bar absolutely lives up to the hype of a neighborhood staple dive full of lore and edge. Despite the maximalist decorative style of most stuffy dives, there is no sense of crowdedness here; everything was clean and maintained well (including the bathrooms!). There is no shortage of great music, great relics of music history, and great company among the regulars (especially if you want to chat about music!). I absolutely adored Whitney as a bartender and really emphasize her service as paramount to my positive experience. Even though I was visiting all the way from the Midwest, I felt right at home at Duff's because of her humor, genuine engagement, and efficient attentiveness."

"If you're into dive bars and love heavy metal music, this is the place for you. Even artists, after playing a show in NYC, have been known to pop up here to hang out amongst fans. The owner is a sweetheart, if you get to see him say hello. The bartenders are friendly even though they're usually slammed and the regulars are super friendly. Can't find a better metal bar than this one."

"This place has become one of my favorite dives. If you’re a metal fan, you’ll love the decor and music. The drinks are dirt cheap ($4 for a well drink) so it’s a great low budget night out option."
