Strictly a damn great dive bar at its best, always open to the wee hours of the morning, packed with great company, bar food, pool table and a new jukebox pumping out all sorts of music and you will always find yourself among good company and great conversations because everyone has a tale to tell at cozy corner. Really this place has a great neighborhood vibe! We spent the latter part of the winter Blizzard here rocking the pool table, dancing, chatting, swapping stories, taking shots and having a great time. Shout out to the amazingly bubbly and happy bartender Judy who pours out neat or on the rocks shots, nice cocktail drinks and whatever else you want mixed up. Cash credit all good here and full restaurant located in the back. Another great neighborhood Dive bar, I love it!

No one took a picture of the bra-less statues gracing the bar? come on folks, I’ll get the pics. This place is a drag. Wish they would modernize a little bit. Clock is wrong most of the time. And bar staff have filthy mouths.

This might be my favorite bar in the world. I feel transported in time to at least twenty years ago. It’s so divey. It’s so awesome. It can’t even possibly be located in nyc. I cannot right now even describe how much this bar rules. and Nancy She’s the fucking best.

Love it… I can come watch sports on there 40 in Tv’s while drinking cheap beer and maybe shoot a game of pool during ½ time. Perfect place to watch sports if you want a relaxed quite atmosphere

Let your«regular» Rob know that him physically assaulting some one doesn’t make him more of a «neighborhood» guy… It just makes him a drunk douche of a bully… Have fun with the police presence for awhile…

Great dive bar. Kind of an old man bar. But it’s still a great dive. 5 $ mix drinks. Budweiser for 1 $ and other beers on tap for a bit more. Like Brooklyn beer and such. So I’m all it’s a good place to sit and drink.

Updated this to five stars for one reason only. No annoying pseudo hipsters with pink hair hang out at this location.

Nice bartender but it’s just a bar with no place to sit and it sells overpriced drinks. The onion rings were pretty good.

I still like the vibe here, but the tap beer was pretty terrible tasting last time. The lines are likely dirty and surely there isn’t very quick turnover? Something to fix… meanwhile, I’ll be sticking with bottles.

After reading other reviews, I realized that I went to Cozy Corner at an off time. It was roughly 4pm on a Wednesday afternoon and the place was dead. Pros: –Cheap! $ 16 for 2 beers and a cocktail. –Dark! The only light appeared to be coming from some dusty overhead fixtures and the TV glow. –Cross-Section of Locals! We were the only non-regulars in the place. Cons: –Silent! No music… no talking. –Cash Only! Bartender was not certain where to find the nearest ATM.(there’s one in almost any direction) –That Smell! Like years of cigarette smoke has permeated the walls and recently been covered up with cheap cleaning agents. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good dive bar… however, something about cozy corner was missing the mark.

I came here shortly before Sandy for a party, and it was a whole different vibe. Full of people who were friendly and putting great tunes on the internet juke box. The bartender was a young woman, very friendly, and my boyfriend and I had a few cheap beers and hung out talking until pretty late. I guess this place is hit-or-miss; this last visit was fun enough that I would go here again.

Dive bars are not my kind of scene but I went to a local meetup here and I had fun. The staff was extremely friendly. Evidently they have a very big back room that they showed my fellow meetup members.(I was too engrossed in my conversation to look.) They have big plans to transform this place.

Besides being an enthusiastic boozer I’m also an NBA basketball fan without a television. I walked in around 9:30pm on a Thursday night and the place was dead. A couple of girls playing pool and two guys quietly drinking alone at either ends of the bar. They were watching the Yankees take an 11-nothing lead on Baltimore — and to use the word ‘watching’ is kind of an exaggeration — so I asked if we could switch to ESPN for the NBA Playoffs. The bartender was quick to oblige and nobody seemed to mind. A little later the place was deserted; just me and Carol,(the friendly bartender). She made a few phone calls and kept the $ 2.50 Budweiser pints flowing. Some dude came in with a ladder, we smoked cigarettes, Oklahoma City beat Dallas, another guy came in and started playing video poker and the three of us talked about gambling. I left The Cozy Corner thoroughly inebriated and hadn’t even spent $ 20, plus my team won and I was home in 2 minutes. I will most definitely be coming back.

Cozy Cavern is wonderful. Vintage feel, good vibe, more of a dive but without having to put up with anyone too rowdy or obnoxious. It’s a great neighborhood hangout with amazing prices(seriously, amazing prices!). The bartenders are also ridiculously nice; laid-back, friendly, and not constantly hovering around you like so many manhattan bars. This place is one of the best. Hipsters love it. Locals love it. Everyone loves it. Check it out!
