This is a quintessential campus bar. Kids from Columbia pack in here on the weekends, and unfortunately it has gotten honestly TOO busy for its own good in the past couple months. The atmosphere rocks, very hipster grad-student. The decor is cool, they are always playing some cool movie on a big projector screen that covers the back wall. Getting a drink at the bar can be a nightmare during popular hours, so either come early or during the week. But if you are nice to one of the bartenders here they will do their best to take care of you. Its a good place.

Feels like a college bar in a small town, but in reality, its a college bar in a neighborhood few others would make the trek to. Happy hour specials make cheap beer even cheaper. Most drafts are domestic, but the bottles branch into Europe, at least. Top shelf liquor is more or less available, but judging by the dust on the bottles, people dont feel the need to impress in that fashion. Stick to the Sierra Nevadas.

Classic Morningside Heights bar. Come here because everyone you know is here. It can be crowded, but when it isnt, the vibe is just right to get drinks and hang with friends. If you can get a table, youre set for a solid night. If you cant, youll still have a good time getting trampled by the crowd with your buddies. Drinks are par for the course -- its the company that makes this place so great.

The points system from google+ doesnt make sense for this excellent dive bar in the Upper West. There is no sign out front and it always looks slightly closed... exactly what you want out of a dive bar. There is a pool table, a dart board and usually a slightly off bartender that weirds you out in a super friendly way. Winner.

Cheap. Loud. Undergraduate. And theyve almost always got decent music and interesting movies playing with only subtitles on. Did I mention it was cheap? Incidentally, a plaque on the wall of the apartments that also share the same building announces that Gershwin composed "Rhapsody in Blue" in the same building.

This is a great neighborhood bar. The bartenders are very friendly and attentive. It can be a little crowded, depending on whether Columbia is hosting an event here or not. The drinks are reasonably priced and theres plenty of room for patrons to spread out. Ive never had a bad experience here.

The waiters tried to pull a fast one to get a bigger tip by adding an extra $10 to my receipt on the tip line that I didnt authorize, not to mention they were extremely snarky and rude. This would be the LAST place I would recommend getting drinks from unless you like to be stolen from.

Definitely should be your regular bar if you live in the neighborhood. You will get abundant free drinks from the friendly-to-regulars bartenders, theres usually a good crowd but nothing overwhelming, and even if youre paying for yourself, its cheap. Good beer selection for a dive.

Exactly what you should expect from a dive bar. The service is great, beer selection will leave everyone satisfied but not blown away. It gets very packed during the weekend with the undergrad crowd from Columbia. Best visited during the week and preferably early.

So the other day I said to myself "Self, money is a little tight right now, but I think we deserve a drink. Where should we go?" "Well self, there is always 1020 bar. That place is mad cheap." "Right you are self! Brilliant idea!" And off I went.

1020 is a landmark. Great place for a cheap beer and a great atmosphere on weeknights and outside of the school year. One of Columbia students most popular bars on Thursday, Friday and Saturday during the school year.

I got in a fight with someone from Vampire Weekend at this bar because he told me Coldplay was a better band than The Beatles. Reasonably priced drinks for the neighborhood, if you dont mind the terrible crowd.

Well, what can I say... its my extended living room. It is great to be a regular in this place. To be considered: it makes a huge difference whether you go there during the semester or the breaks. I like both.

1020 is the local watering hole for Columbia graduate students. Cheap drinks, (mostly) friendly service, convenient location, random movies playing on the projector and good music in the background.

This is a very cool bar with cheap drinks. The place also has a nice pool table in the back and old school booths. On the weekends this place is full of students from the nearby Barnard school.

Cheap beer. Cool, good crowd and it has darts and pool. DONT GO HERE ON THE WEEKEND, it will be difficult to get into. My friend says there are cockroaches but I havent seen any =P

Great dive bar, cheap drinks, but watch out, past 10pm it gets packed with undergrads (can be annoying for anyone over the age of 30).

Your average neighborhood bar. Attracts a college crowd from Columbia University nearby. The beer I had was $5 a pint.

Cozy local bar. Lowest drink prices in Manhattan, IMHO. Quiet in the daytime. Open 4pm to 4am. Dress code after 10pm.
