The Dugout

I have been here a couple of times and I enjoyed myself. They pour Guinness real well. Nice place to unwind and drink. Cheers!

I understand now why there are so many bad reviews of this place. So I’m in the bar having a beer when the bartender decides the song on the juke box is so great he has to crank up the volume to painful levels! I tried to wave to him to get his attention but he seemed more interested with his phone than service.
I’m not coming back, ever.

Was always a little unsure about this place because of the gaggle of highly-​lubricated folks that are always outside all hours of the day and night. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for getting my drink on but The Dugout always seemed a little fratastic — in an Irish way — and over the top. Turns out its not that bad at all. Popped in on a Sunday night for a beer while doing my laundry and definitely, well, dug it. Pints are $ 5 so they’re a buck less than at the other Woodside watering holes. Looking forward to stopping in on a soccer Saturday.

About a decade ago this place used to be more representative of the city’s racial mixture, now you look through the window and it looks more like an Aryan Brotherhood hang out.

The Dugout which is located right off the 7 train on the Woodside 61 Street stop is a nice neighborhood bar. I have been coming here for a few months and have always felt welcome. The Bar is full of regulars who enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow Irish countryman, but welcome newbies like me.
I like the no frills atmosphere were real men can enjoy a great pint of Guinness and watch some sports on TV. The Bar is heavy into soccer, but all ESPN, MLB, MSG, etc are shown on some nice HD TVs.
There is always someone to chat with about the local Teams or some politics. There is a dart board which you can play anytime and a weekly Dart Team sponsored by the Bar. On Wednesday’s they have free poker sponsored by New York Free Poker. This is a lot of fun and everyone is welcome. No charge, just have a couple of drinks while you play. Great way to spend an evening without damage to your pocket book.
Charlene is a great bartender who will make you feel welcome anytime. Joe the owner, funny guy who runs a clean safe Bar.
If your looking for a neighborhood Bar in Woodside, were you can meet friends or watch a game, The Dugout is an excellent choice.
