About this business

This over-sized hotspot in the East Village offers a fashionable, dark pub scene for the area's young hipsters on the upper level. Guinness anyone? But the real fun starts downstairs in the little known Tiki Lounge. This flamboyant Caribbean alter ego to the dim upper level comes complete with a thatched-roof bar and boat-sized piña coladas. Just think of it: now you can have two totally different experiences for the price of one. See their website for a list of events.

Go back to Jersey – Had to stand in line in front of Niagara this Saturday to meet people for a friend's birthday inside. In line were drunk frat boy types and loud jersey girls, not fun companions when you haven't had a drink yet. Once we were finally inside, we squeezed through the packed bar to get to the back, where more jersey girls gave me the once over glare. I felt like I was in high school. Downstairs was worse - dated music and white dorky boys trying to dance. After a few drinks though, I didn't care - so wound up... read more

fun place, not the nicest bartenders – i've been going to Niagara for a few years now and have always enjoyed it. i like the music and think the crowd is usually pretty good - not too hipster or pretentious. bartenders know their stuff, although they tend to be unfriendly. a smile and/or eye contact shouldn't be the hardest thing. the bands are usually good and while i can't remember the name off hand, the band that the owner is actually part of plays every once in a while and is defintiely worth seeing.

Arrogance.... – Used to be a great local hangout! I spent many a night drinking the night away in this spot.... HOWEVER!... Now you'll be happy to find over-amped bouncers, over crowded bridge-and-tunnel attendees and bathrooms that rival the boys locker room in a mid-west truck stop (urine drip and all). If I want a dive bar with over-rated attitude, then I'd go to Max Fish! At least they don't feel the need to front on their image!

Avoid Saturday Nights – East Village spot usually know for it's unique play lists and eccentric crowd. Go downstairs for letter known 80's and rock music on Fridays. Unique music went from weekends to fridays to let's hear some mainstream hip hop, hopefully this is a string of bad decisions and not a glimpse of what is in the future for this what was once an underrated east village abode.

User review by littlebella25 – a little bit crowded but there was no cover and a coat check which is always a plus. once i got a few drinks in me we were dancing like crazy--they played some GREAT songs. everytime we were about to leave a song we loevd came on! one thing though, used the photobooth and our photos never came out!!:(

Better the second time around – Went to this bar for the 2nd time on Saturday. The first time I was there, I had a horrible time...I did not like the atmosphere and was bored. The 2nd time, I discovered the downstairs and had a blast. I loved the music, the atmosphere, and the people. The music was a mixture of rock and well, rock. I think I heard one hip hop song that particular night. I danced to everything and anything that DJ put on. I agree with the other reviewers, this is a good place to hook up even if you are not lo... read more

Back that thang up – People are pretty right about this place. The front is crowded, try to get a table up towards the back, you will see everything that walks in and by since you are up a level and it's on the way to downstairs. Downstairs was alright, the girl on the pole was nothing special to look at, but it is a fun scene....music was BLASTING. HUH!? WHAT?....yea don't try talking to people don't there. If your game is that you have no game, you could pull some girls at this place. It's laid back.....as most east villag... read more

Booty bar, yes, but irresistable! – Although this bar is definitely all about the booty, you can't help but be drawn back into its doors time and time again. My friends and I joke that this bar has some sort of spell cast on the city. Every time I enter, I always have an interesting night! Meat packing tendencies will guarantee cute girls free drinks and probably some pretty heavy hook-ups. Don't try to resist the temptation- Niagra is a habit worth keeping!

Great bar, but lets get a new DJ – Great fun bar to meet up with friends and find new ones. Dancing is fun, but let's ditch the 80's for one weekend, unless I'm coincidentally going to 80's nite all the time. Bartender's are polite and drinks are reasonable. They still don't know how to make a side car, but can make a damn fine lemon drop shot. Crowded with a decent looking crowd, hasn't yuppified too much yet.
