Milady's is my best friend's "cafeteria". She lives in NYC and I was visiting... naturally she took me to her spot.
This place is pretty rockin'. If I lived here I would be here all the time as well. We never got to the pool table, though it was totally open. I would be on that all the freakin time. Being a vegetarian, I was happy to see the veggie burger on the menu and even happier to find it made just right with all the fixin's, Washed it all down with a cold beer and was pleasantly initiated to NYC culture.

A fun, laid-back dive bar with pretty good bar food. During the summer, the bathroom reminds me of a rain forest (seriously, it's sultry in the non-sexual meaning of the word). Oooh, they have a pool table, too!
Update: Went back last night. Milady's was still awesome.

The unofficial start to finding Quitessential Dive bars in NYC.
~MiLadys~
We've been trying to find a cool, quinty dive bar in NYC (this one is in soho with pool table) that still has pretty good food. With a pretty extensive menu, we were happily surprised at what we found. We had the chix entrees that included mashed potatoes and broccoli and bread for 9.85 each. Just remember that I'm telling you its not worth much more and check with Cameron the quinty barchick/food server who was nice enough to run down the menu as to what's good and notso so much. She suggested staying away from the Mexican food. I say bummer, but I appreciate that! If you are looking for more swank factor: check out N or Puck Fair in soho as well.

I have so much fun every time I go to Miladys! Donna Jane is an awesome bartender on Wednesday nights and keeps the beers flowing like wine. She is so friendly and fun, too, so I would definitely sit at the bar. The amazing thing is we drink heavily all night and walk away with a decent bar tab, so gracious tipping is highly advised.
I've always thought of Miladys as my little secret bar. You can walk right past it and it doesn't register to the eyes. If you look at it quickly, you might think, "ugh, old man's bar, filled with aging rheumy eyed alkies."
Ha, I tell you ha! Nothing can be further from the truth. Well, yes there are a few of those, but they're actually very nice, and one of them has a fur hat that he call's his stoat.
Walk in and it's old time New York City- rickety tiny formica tables, a long bar that's pretty packed with all sorts of people. And they all get along. During the winter they make the best hot apple cider around, you can get it alcohol free if you like.
And the food! Oh the food. Look at the menu and you'll see chicken fingers as an appetizer. People they use an entire chicken breast, it's a mea.
Everything they make, except the chil (too many onions and too salty for my taste) is superb. Lovely high end food at dirt cheap prices.
This is one of the few places where I know I can go by myself and have a great time.

Unbelievably cheap and very good food! I had pesto pasta w/chicken & it was yummy! The waitress suggested I have the apple cider w/spiced rum, and it was strong and good. This is definitely a dive, or as my friend called it, "the type of seedy place where real deals get made". I'll be back for sure. Not just b/c it's low key, but the menu is really varied, so there's something for everyone. There's also a pool table if you're feeling like billiards.

I can never remember the name of this place. Unfortunately, it's my favorite place to eat in SoHo, hands down. Which has caused me to spend hours (ok, maybe an hour) wandering the streets south of Houston thinking to myself "OK, it's right around here somewhere. WTF is this place called? Why can't I find it? I could have sworn it was right around the corner from that basketball court...?" Until finally I'm hungry and desperate enough to do whatever the pub equivalent to that whole Harry Potter "Platform 9 And 3 Quarters" trick is. And there she is.
I like to bring a book (generally something vaguely English or Irish, like an Iris Murdoch novel or my latest attempt to get through Ulysses), and almost always order cheese fries and a Guinness.
I've never really been here as a bar, just for quick pub grub. So I can't comment on how their cocktails are, how hard it is to get a pool table spot, etc.

Are you kidding me? Good food? Cheap drinks? This place is fine if you are in the neighborhood or need a convenient place to meet people before going out but this place is terrible. The Guinness is $6 a pint which is not cheap and the food is horrendous. The chicken fingers for example are nothing more than bulk frozen fingers purchased from the food supplier.
The interior of this place isn't even classic dive bar, its more like your local chapter of the VFW or your junior high school cafeteria on school dance night.

I love milady's! There's not much to write, except it's a cheap, low-key place to go for a burger and a beer.
No Frills bar with great appetizers. If you're just looking for great place in SoHo to drink and be merry without the pretentiousness, then come here. It's already affordable, but it's more fun when you can get make your buck stretch a bit further...like get a free entree at Milady's if you go to 8coupons.com and keep the deal in your phone for next time you're out in SoHo.
Milady's has the best chicken fingers and fries in town! The most amazing hangover dive bar, and easy to find! I have found myself entering smelling like booze, and exiting smelling like grease...Nice trade off because I can wash off the grease smell, but I'll be damned, you cannot get the smell of last nights booze off without it!
Good, consistent bar food, easy drinks, good during the day, and there is a "People Love us on Yelp" window cling! Nice!

Low key bar, a little rusty, with somewhat scary waitress whose shirt kind of came up like it was averse to gravity but she turned out to be really kind and motherly. I love the food. The caesar salad was bank, and so was the burger. It surprised me. I'd definitely go back for lunch again. It's divey and the bar is separate from the tables, and there's not much of a view because the windows are high up so if you're sitting down you're not going to see much. But no matter, the food menu really makes up for it with good traditional American grub.

I adore this place. I found it on one of my adventures and I most certainly got lucky. Great food and very low key. And for soho, the prices were really cheap. There appertizers are awesome, the nachos and buffolo wings, it was more than enough for me and my two very hungry, very shall we say...pleasently plump, male friends to share. The juke box is very nice as well. I love this place...it's just one of those places, that the first you go feels like a place you've been going all your life.

Great bar, recently just raised some prices - understandable it's soho. Still the people and the booze are why you come out. A couple of tele's they'll be watching the local teams on local channels. Great juke and take a shot at winning the pool table from one of the locals.

OK, this bar is a half a block from my friend's apartment on Thompson, and when I come and stay at her place or actually when I come to NYC in general, a drink or two at Milady's is a must. Drink price is right, place is not pretentious, and their bar food is good. It is a great place to chill while waiting for your table at Raoul's down the street.
PS: a colleague of mine met his wife there so he goes all historical and shit on me when we go for a beer! Adds to the ambiance.
Cozy and comfortable, with basic fare and no drama. A good spot to meet up with friends and have a quiet drink on those days that you're still wearing your eye makeup for the day before. It's never crowded and I always seem to catch a chat with a friendly patron or two.

I love this place... it's the only low key dive bar in soho- where you seriously feel like you could be in a small rural town when you walk in. great place to just grab a drink and catch up with a friend in your sweatshirt and kicks.

Another classic downtown low-key bar w/ surprisingly good food. BBQ chicken sandwich is good and they have a really great side salad -- random, but seriously...
As for hanging: solid Jukebox, pool table, reasonable prices for SOHO. AND, great central location to meet friends and head out to other joints -- or great place to cap the night at.

I actually prefer this place after staying up all night partying/drinking/clubbing/seeing live music and then segueing into bloody mary's and their eggs benedict.

You go here in the evening with friends to sit at a table, eat a decent plate of pub fare, then proceed to just guzzle inexpensive Brew and Jack & Gingers all night & shoot pool until someone disappears and you find them laying on the sidewalk outside claiming to be "waiting for Johnny, man!" God I miss this place, I just got all teary eyed...it's a real piece of SOHO history.
Run on sentence you say? Well you'd do it too if you were pickled drunk at 11 am!
Arrre...Cheers for Beers
