    There was a bangin' band that had the dance floor busy, okay prices and a generally jovial atmosphere. Okay, it might've been a private birthday party my friends and I were crashing that night, but we didn't get kicked out or barred from entrance. Au contraire, we were brought right in for the burning fire and singing smiles.

    I've been any number of times, and I feel a friendly and open sense of warmth that makes me want to enjoy the night, not some loneliness or negativity that plenty of other bars offer that might make a patron drink themselves blind and break the pitcher glass on their wrists.

    Okay, get that last image out of your head, and look for a wider welcome at 773. It's like Chi-town in my Home Town (except that, uh, it doesn't remind me at all of da Chi-town).

    I love dive bars but didn't like the smell of this place.  Somewhat musty and haunted by the memory of thousands of smokers.

    This is the friendliest dive bar I've ever been in. The atmosphere is something like Cheers meets 'The Piano Man' meets Charles Bukowski. The owner/bartender looks as if he should be rough and caustic, but he's one of the nicest bartenders I've ever met. The regulars are very welcoming, albeit through their simultaneously prickly and fuzzy repartee of sarcasm, irony, sincerity, endearment, and compliment.  

    There is definitely an air of dissipation to the place, and a peculiar, mildly unpleasant odor not uncommon to dive bars, something like a mixture of stale alcohol and cleaning solution, as if the floor was last cleaned  weeks ago, or tends to be cleaned up haphazardly. While normally these would be a minus, in this context they become a plus. The drinks are very cheap (generally $3-4 beer, $3-5 liquor), the jukebox is great. Also: a good place to watch sports (not that I do so much myself); they'll basically turn on any sport you want to watch.

    This place doesn't need to change anything. That being said-- the bartender mentioned that they have gradually lost business to the chi-chi bars along Cortelyou, and I don't know how they stand to regain it unless they change *something.* Maybe all this needs to be is advertising. So, in that spirit: Go check them out, buy a few drinks. If you like dive bars, doubt you'll be disappointed.

    This is kinda the best bar ever.   I almost don't want to yelp it because I don't want too many people to know about it.  Billy the bartender is awesome and hilarious.  We wanted a beer tower but he was out of everything on tap so he gave us buckets of Buds with a round of 4 shots for $20 total.  Plus he bought us at least a round or two.  I'm sure this isn't the norm but he rules.  

    There's a good chance they'll be out of whatever you want, but if you walk in with no expectations and just want to have a good time for little money and want to escape the usual NYC pretentiousness, this bar is awesome.  

    I haven't eaten the food yet, but I've heard good things.  TVs are small and too high but they show games, I can't complain.

    In a neighborhood full of pretentious hipster bars, 773 is a working class haven for people who want a working class irish bar with a whole bunch of friendly people - staff and customers.
    If you want to make friendly chatter, sit at the bar in the front.  If you want to hang with your friends and not chat with other people, grab one of the booths.  It's great and rarely to noise to talk.  Plus, they let me bring my dog in so long as he stays well behaved.

    I love dive bars and this falls under that category. Yes I hate hipster douchebags but I also hate slow service, hairs in my drinks, and some kind of mysterious black sludge in my drink. I've been here a bunch of times and have yet to see this friendly service everyone is talking about.

    This bar is ok but for great service and cheaper drinks I prefer to spend my money at Shenanigans or Denny's. They'll take credit cards but they aren't happy about and aren't afraid to let you know.

    Plus side... we were there during the storm after xmas. We were pretty much the only people there. They had some kind of sausage sandwich thing going on and they told us to help ourselves. I don't eat sausage sp I can't say how good it was. But Denny's also had free food everyday so I don't think that one time makes 773 special.
