Best

Most gorgeous male bartender in NYC on Tuesday and Sunday night. A great place to just chill, even if you're alone.

Worst

This place is simply bad. Usually a crappy (i.e. dive bar) place can make up for itself with a friendly/chill staff. Not the case here.

BEER PONG- TRULY INCREDIBLE! 6/24/2003

WOW, WOW, and more WOW! Loved the place! I live downtown and Never Ever wanted to see the Upper East Side again...Until now! What a truly fun place. My friends started my bachelor party there and I didn't want to leave. We played beer pong for hours - just like the old college days. Plus, girls danced on the bar and threw out t-shirts, beads, and then, they poured shots down our throats. All I can say is if you just want to have a truly great time go there..... Pros: women, beer pong, free shots Cons: closing time! more

Don't do it to your self!!!! 6/7/2003

My friends talked me into going, they raved about the "Power Hour" $2 drinks. Yeah they had $2 drinks, however the bartenders seemed to screw up every drink and it all tasted the same, STICK TO TAP BEER!!!!. Ugly girls dancing on the bar to 80's music. I don't know what they were thinking but I'm not going back!!!!!!!!! BAR GOERS BEWARE more

TAID 6/7/2003

This place is worth every dime you will spend there, and believe me you won't spend many. The atmosphere is awesome, with lots of fun people and great music. Beirut (Beer Pong) has swept over the crowd and it keeps the place jumping from start til finish. Definitely check this place out if you're into having fun and if you're not, go there anyway and they'll change your mind about that. Pros: Cheap drinks, Lots of girls, Beirut more

Cool Place 5/12/2003

We had a great time at the Big Easy. We went there because we heard they had cheap drink specials from 11pm-12am ($2 Beers and Drinks) and ended up having a great time until 4am. The DJ played a great mix of rock, hip hop, and even some country rock. They also had Beirut tables in the back of the bar! Awesome idea! Pros: cheap drinks, music, Beirut Cons: bathrooms need work more

OHHHH YEAHHHH... 5/10/2003

Whether it's empty or packed, this place rocks! There's almost always a bunch of girls dancing on the bar, the bartenders really seem to want to get you pretty hammered, everyone's always laughing and having a good time, there's beer pong in the back to keep you occupied, and even the bouncers are cool! I love this place!!! Pros: prices, staff, atmosphere more

Love it! 3/3/2003

A great spot! I always have a great time here! The Big Easy is The Hogs and Heifers of the Upper East Side (with a great looking crowd and no bikers)! There are always girls dancing on the bar and they always pour free shots down your throat! Pros: Inexpensive, great crowd, crazy fun more

Best Bar During Bar Crawl! 11/9/2002

This was by far the best bar during the Bar Crawl on Saturday. The place was packed with cool people and the DJ was great. The bartenders were also very cool. They gave us lots of mardi gras beads and even had us doing shotguns. We ended up staying all night. The hangover was definitely worth it! Pros: DJ, Fun, Cheap Drinks more

Had A Great Time! 10/22/2002

I hit the Upper East Side the other night with a lot of friends and we had a blast at this place. The Big Easy was definitely our favorite place of the night. Girls were dancing on the bar and the DJ was great. The bartenders were cool and even gave us a few free shots of Tequila. We also loved playing Beer Pong in the back. It was good to play a game that we loved back in college. We will definitely be back. Pros: Cheap Drinks, Music, Girls on Bar Cons: Crowded more

Pros: atmosphere, music, prices Cons: none more

goodtimes! 10/15/2002

Hey this place was just a plain fun bar. It's as advertised - it got a bit crowded at one point but overall it was good times for everyone I was with. If you take yourself too seriously - I'd probably stay away. Swanky and pretentious it is not. They had a great acoustic guitarist play for a while. Different. Bartenders were pretty humorous and friendly until it they got busy...but service was still good. Best way to decribe it is it has that college fun time feel to it. Pros: cheap drinks, big bar area, live music Cons: a little hot, dingy bathrooms, slightly overcrowded more

Ding Ding Ding...$1.00 Beers are here !! 7/10/2002

Nothing better describes "THE BIG EASY" other than awesome. Crazy, wild and fun sports bar with a little bit of everything. No one could leave this place without falling head-over-heels (literally). The people who work there are awesome and they make u feel right at home. But watch out for the cow bell cause POWER HOUR is coming...LOL. Sexy bartenders hop on the bar and grab you from behind with a wild surprise of the nights greatest shot being poured down your throat. Would you say no???? I doubt it. The bands that perform there are always good and there is always a mixture of different tunes. I definately recommend this place be voted "BEST BAR IN TOWN" Pros: Resonably priced, Great atmosphere, Perfect location Cons: Not open late enough, Not open early enough, Not enough beer pong more

Great Bachelorette Party! 7/1/2002

I just wanted to thank The Big Easy for helping us have a great Bachelorette Party. They made our party very easy to organize and we had a great time. They gave us a great group drink special and let us dance on the bar all night. In addition, it felt like they gave us extra attention by giving us lots of beads and t-shirts. Thanks for the great time. You guys do a great job. Pros: Dancing On Bar, Music, Drink Specials Cons: Hot more

Fun, Inexpensive & They Have Beer Pong! 6/23/2002

I went here for the first time last Thursday night, because of friend of mine heard they had Beer Pong/Beirut Tables in use. Wow! Not only did I have a blast playing Beirut all night, but the music was great and the crowd was cool. I like bars, that's really all I go to (except when my wife makes me go to clubs). This bar is fun, inexpensive, and I would recommend it to all of my friends. Pros: Fun, Beer Pong, Women Dancing on Bar Cons: Hot, OK Bathrooms, Need More Beer Tables more

  • The Upper East Side's slice of New Orleans lives up to its name: It's big and it's easy to get into a liquored-up state of mind thanks to a nightly happy hour. Drinkers are mainly younger professionals and former prep-school types looking to get rowdy after sitting in front of a computer all day. Don't expect New Orleans blues and funk--the music is rock and roll, and it gets louder as the night goes on. Mardi Gras masks overlook a 45-foot, question mark-shaped bar that women are welcome to dance on. (Hopped-up patrons may even toss some beads in hopes of getting flashed, New Orleans-style.) For additional entertainment, the bar sports five beer pong tables, 12 big-screen TVs, and DJs on the weekends.
