About this business

Since 2002, Snafu Bar & Lounge has been replacing your best friend's basement hang with all-night happy hours, beer pong, and great music. Snafu isn't your typical Midtown East, post-work watering hole. The Friday night DJ and wide whiskey selection keep the night young and the energy high. The bar also runs regular drink promos for sports events so you can come kick back, bring your own snacks, and watch the game from a comfy couch. The beer and wine list isn't too shabby, either. We may be a little crazy, but it's a good k... read more

Dingy with OK service – Dark, and feels unclean.Had bottled beer...hard to mess that up. Server girls attractive but not hot...but they do dress on the skimpy side, so maybe that is the same as 'hot'. Anyway, they have a pool table and Golden Tee live and some other game but they are placed right by the bathroom door...ugh. Upstairs the lounge is cozier.but the sofas and chairs don't 'feel' too clean either. Also, a few guys were smoking by the restroom...seriously...is smoking allowed??

Editorial Review by Marcella Veneziale – The neighborhood near Grand Central boasts lots of overpriced bars and lounges, but this bar offers reasonably-priced, standard fare.

I love Snafu more!!!!! – In Boston..Cheers may be where everybody knows your name..but here in New York..my Cheers goes by a different name..Snafu. No matter what time of day, or what mood you're in..Snafu has something for everyone.. it truly is a jack of all trades bar..but in this case...ill call it a Dave of all trades. If you're there during the day, then you will have the honor of meeting Dave, the man of many hats. (pun intended) Catch a game on one of the many flat screen tv's and ponder the mysteries of life over a ... read more

disgusting! – I was told that Snafu had hot bartenders and cheap drinks by a dude I work with. I was horrified to see what this guy thought of as "hot" and "cheap." Ok, the drinks aren't expensive, but they are watered down and just plain bad! Maybe he said cheap meaning they gyp you out of liquor. As for the girls behind the bar, they are not at all cute.... and not at all attentive. I went on a Sat. night and there were maybe 8 people in the bar in total, and the bartenders were both talking to a few guys at the end of the... read more

Snafu is for loosers – Snafu is full of B&T's who think they belong in the city. The music is terrible and the people are obnoxious. A total sausage fest, this is an eye-sore for the area.

pretty standard – so this place is better than the other after work bars in the area (fubar, connolly's), but it's still kinda cruddy. the drinks are reasonably priced, but the crowd is a fairly bland banker group, and the music blows. worst of all, if you try to select better tunes from the jukebox, they get played for 20 seconsd, then get skipped. the best thing that this place has good going for it is the free popcorn. good for an after work drink, but not much else.
