never again – it wasnt that good.. very crowded, and the bartenders were more drunk than the ppl. we had a special deal but the bartenders were super strict on what type of drinks when it was open bar. the place was so tiny. and it took more than 20 mins for a drink... i would not recommend this place at all.. and the magaritas were horrible.

Go Here if you Like being kicked out for no reason – Terrible Experience. When I went to make a phone call on the street I was told by some man who didnt address himself that I needed to move to the corner. This confused me because it's a public street. I didn't move. This man was a bouncer for McFaddens which is next door. He informed the bouncer at calico jacks that I was not allowed to go back in and that I was a badass (as if I had started a fight). I was promptly not allowed back in without an explanation, and had to wa... read more

There's no need to go to a Third World Country for Awful Food ... – Americans traveling to Third World Countries face parasites, dysentery, hostile foreigners, and unpalatable cuisine. Calico Jack's saves its customers thousands on their next vacations by bringing all that great Third World action right here to New York. This was by far the WORST so-called "Mexican" meal I have ever had, ANYWHERE -- which is surprising, since Calico Jack's is largely staffed by nasty Central American individuals of questionable immigration s... read more

Worst Experience – I would advice no one go to this bar. The bouncer and the manager were both incredibly rude and inconsiderate. As a native New Yorker, I have never been treated so poorly in my life. I will never step foot in this below mediocre bar, and I will be sure no one I know does either. Not to mention the bar was populated with the underage intern scene and smelled like some one had gotten sick. There are so many good bars in New York City, and this is certainly not one.

Great for Friday Happy Hour – A good and cheap way to start the weekend after a loooong week at work. They have very cheap open bar that will get you started on the way to hitting other venues later that nite. Staff are great and they really hook u up with strong drinks. This bar reminds me of that freshman bar I used to go to when I had a fake ID. It was the best bar to go to because everybody got wasted and as we all know wasted=good effin times! You can also sign up for free open bar which you will most likely win within ... read more

Good Music, Drink Specials – I'm not really into the club scene but really enjoyed the vibe of this place. It's not a club but a place where you can dance (to good music) with your friends. We had the best drink specials and can I just mention that it had the HOTTEST male bartenders in NYC. Smart hiring by the manager. I did not try the food but by looking at the menu - looked decent. I do have to say that our waitress was somewhat rude and extremely unaccommodating. Other than that, I have no complaints.

Good bar.. – Unfortunately I didn't try the food here but they sure do know how to throw good parties. I had a wonderful time here. Had lots of good drinks. The bartenders were entretaining and very generous with the drinks. The crowd, a bunch of roudy young party goers which made it all the better. Be advised that this place gets incredibly crowded and they will charge an admissions fee.

Don't buy the "free party" – I was contacted because I "won" a "free party" having entered the one other time I'd been there. The organizer gave me a date, a Saturday, so I thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a dinner too. So I made a 10 person dinner rez, but then got there to find only one waitress, that we were sitting under a very annoying and unflattering hot spotlight that "couldn't be turned off", and that the drink specials we were promised (nothing about the party was actually free) were only available i... read more
