Excellent vibes, very laid back with fair prices. Patrons are friendly and the host is very sociable! The Spotify playlist is pretty sick too.

Was here w my boyz here months ago last summer around 11pm talking about chicks,life and overall having a good time last bar we hung out. Wasn't much but hanging for a couple hours for a over due hangout was needed. Chill spot for a group.

Strangelove is the St. Marks of Midtown, bringing Lower East Side sleaze to the quintessential New York City featured on the tourist trinkets. Pete is quick to provide an acquired humor (totally my taste!) and exceptional, personalized service from behind the bar; my felt sense of belonging was immediate. P.S. Make sure to bring your own marker to claim your spot on the wall of this iconic punk rock oasis!

I gave 5 stars because this place was made for me. Perfect fit. For the people that love gritty dives with fast, heavy music, and friendly service come here (they even have pro-wrestling playing on the TV ❤️) It's that,in the best way. WILL visit again 🤘

Great dive bar. Came during a Saturday afternoon and it was mostly a late brunch crowd. Wish the vibes were as lively as the decor. Cheap drinks though!

Strangelove Bar has been my go-to spot since 2018, and it hasn’t changed a bit—and that’s exactly why it’s my favorite bar in the city. If you’re looking for a true dive, this is it. Graffiti-covered walls, cheap beer, and a $6 beer-and-shot combo set the tone, but it’s the people that make this place special. No pretension, no judgment—just a solid crowd that’s as real as the bar itself. Strangelove is proof that a great dive doesn’t need gimmicks, just good vibes and good people.

We went to a fancy meal and my wife surprised me with this treasure after. If you like dive bars, if you like glam rock, and if you like places with no marketing department, then THIS is your place. David and Gayla were the regulars we hung out with. If they aren't there, just sit on the far right, and look up. Their names are on the ceiling. They were awesome. I bartended for 14 years and tried to make everyone's day better through my actions. You MEET Pete for 10 seconds, and he doesn't have to talk. Your day is already better. He knew about the Britney Fox breakup and played the band, he knew about how Whitesnake dissed John Sykes, and now will go listen to Blue Murder albums. He played Warrant. He played Kix. And he played Extreme pre-Van Halen and then had a conversation about all Van Halen singers. And there are specials, some with Bud, and one shot and beer for us IPA drinkers. Magical experience. And pretty sure Ed Norton was there. Pic below. Good luck finding the entrance, but it is worth it once you do. Definitely recommend, and see you there (next time I am out East).

Small punk/rock themed bar covered in graffiti which adds to the general ambience. No food served, only a few draft beers but a good selection of spirits. Staff are friendly and attentive which contradicts the punk theme. Music is perfect for the setting butvthe punters are ever so slightly cliquey. Terrific alternative bar in a "trendy" city. Ok on your own but better if there's 2 or more of you.
