Greenwich Village, Manhattan

Still pouring

Checked October 15, 2026.

Overview

With cheap beer, wings, sliders, beer pong, and all the big games is it any surprise that Off the Wagon is the frat bar du jour for NYU backwards baseball cap set.

History

Punctuality pays, by the pitcher

In 2010 a pitcher at Off the Wagon started at $3.50 and went up fifty cents every hour, which rewarded showing up early1. A long wooden bar with plenty of beer on tap dominated the first floor, and upstairs were a second, smaller bar and two oversize Ping-Pong tables1. We called it the frat bar du jour, and the jour has lasted: in October 2026 it was still on MacDougal Street, running a $10 beer-and-shot special every Friday night2.
