The Hard Swallow (big Lee's)

As for accessibility, the entrance is flat and the bathroom is spacious, making it wheelchair-friendly.

One of the best dive bars in the area. There's a pool table, and the jukebox is always pumping out rock music. If you're into a more alternative atmosphere, this is definitely the spot for you. Most draft beers are around $7, and they occasionally offer drink specials. Sometimes, they also host burlesque shows, but you'll need to visit on the right days to catch one. The bartenders are very patient and quick with their service, and generous tipping can lead to even better service. Once they get to know you, it truly feels like a home away from home.

Terrible beer. It tasted completely stale, or possibly home-brewed and falsely marketed as premium brands. It made me feel quite unwell; I've never encountered such a bad flavor in a simple pint before, but this place somehow managed it. I would recommend steering clear. The atmosphere was uninviting overall, with a negative vibe.

My favorite East Village dive bar! Plus, live local music every Tuesday night!

Cool, metal rocker vibe, good people, but nothing for us craft beer drinkers.
