Dive Bar at 732 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, New York.

Mostly straight white neighborhood bar...good drinks...good service...artisan beers...table service...basic food menu...I give it four stars. Great place !

The bartenders were friendly and when they were actually waiting on you - pretty accommodating. Wait staff deserves the credit for all 3 stars. But there were a whole lot of negatives. For the very small crowd that was there - less than 25 ppl- the friendly, accommodating bartenders were not very attentive at all. I had to wait and wait and draw considerable attention to myself to order or get a drink. And I was sitting center, at the bar; party of one.
The worst side of this place: Obviously the bar can't really be held responsible for drunk Neanderthals looking to thrust themselves onto - or into, rather- undiscriminating women... but I specifically chose this place to AVOID that kind of thing. When one inebriated monkey got in my space, touching me presumptively, (again, right at the bar) started helping himself to my chips n salsa like we had ordered together or something... I looked around like, um is anyone seeing this..?? There was no backup offered, nor was this A hole even warned by the bouncer who sat at the door the entire 2 hours without peeking in or doing a sweep. Like I said, this is to be expected late nights at many bars.. but I did research to find a bar where this kind of thing was NOT typical. Ladies beware - 30-something men can still behave like 20-something men when intoxicated - even at supposedly 30+ casual unassuming bars that come highly recommended.
