Decent place, bad beer – I was here this past Saturday night with a friend. After having an excellent Hoegaarden at another bar, we thought we'd go to a proper Belgian beer place. However, much to our disappointment, the Hoegaarden we were served tasted horrible. We left our drinks there, more than half full, and moved on to a different place. This is really pathetic. I have enjoyed going to this bar for years now, but this last experience makes me wonder if the owner is trying to cut corners during the economic downturn by ... read more

I have been coming to this bar for about six months. I really like the selection of beer and the place is right down the street from me. However, I agree with the past posts about the owner being a nut. Worse, the place is crawling with c0ckroaches! A HUGE c0ckroach fell into my boyfriend's beer! Quite unsavory. I haven't been back since.

I'd just like to say... – >_> Okay, here's a little tip for you guys who gave this bar 1 star. 1) My DAD (the bar owner) is NOT only winning A BUCK OR TWo (as i read in a review) ._. he has at least 1000 in his pocket. He buys me ipods ,phones, wii, gameboys. >_> Go look in YOUR pocket poor hoboe. 2) Im pretty sure the bar owner wouldnt swear at you =D 3) The service isnt that bad, and its crowded obviously cause it has success, if you cant wait a couple of minutes then get out and never come back.. THANK YOU

good beer, terrible owner/bartender – just got back from vol de nuit where i was treated like a kindergartener by the bartender/owner, Sham. it's a shame, because the beer at the bar is pretty good, though whenever this guy is working, the bar is mysteriously out of palm speciale (the bartenders have to go outside to the other bar for it, and i suspect he just doesn't feel like it). today, he asked me for my ID (which is fine, i happen to look very young for my age), but then instead of actually checking out my ID, he asked ... read more

Terrible Management – I've been to Vol de Nuit a few times now, and the previous few were good. There was a great selection of beers, and a nice atmosphere. This last time I took my girlfriend out for her birthday with a few of her friends. it was very crowded, but we found a quiet table upstairs to enjoy a few beers and her birthday cake. After about an hour, it started to fill up, and the manager came up and grabbed all of our glasses and full beers and told us to get out, because there was a party that reserved the table.... read more

Good beer selection – This place is a classic NYU hangout.It's dark, cozy and offers a unique selection of belgian brews on tap.They are also famous for their fries which are very good.It could get crowded,but if you can get there at the right time,it is a great,semi quiet-comfortable place to have a few drinks.The bartenders are very nice-up front and in the back, with the exception of an Asian female who works in the back bar, who is probably the nastiest bartender I have ever dealt with in my life,extremely rude.

Bad Beer – The place itself is pleasant, and the music isn't too loud. Good smokers' courtyard and a great location. But when I received a glass of flat lager and asked politely for it to be exchanged, the owner refused and pretended that it was fine. Rubbish. I've worked in six bars in my time, so I know my beers, but I didn't want to make a big deal about it. He also serves short -- that is, the beer is an inch from the top of the glass. It's a pity, since otherwise the place is OK, that the proprietor doesn't know how to ... read more

best beer and fries!! – Best beer and fries in town! Go early, go often; service is great at the bar or even near it; don't sit down outside and wait though - just get your own at the bar. Many times we come here and just fill up and skip dinner altogether. Great atmosphere although a little sticky at times; happy people who are usually very friendly hang out here.

Service? What service? – The place was too packed to fit inside. Sitting in the cold courtyard, we waited to be served. Eventually I went to the bar. "We can't run a tab outside," the barmaid said. "If you order here, we'll bring it to you." I ordered, carried two beers outside, and waited for our food. And waited... eventually we moved to a table inside. Once inside, we thought a waitress might stop by. Think again. Finally catching some poor busboy who had to deliver into the cold, we waylaid him and hijacked someone else'... read more
