Whiskey Ward is a complete and total dive in the Lower East Side. It's hard what to define it as other than "divey". There are bikers, rockers, and the hipsters who aspire to be as badass as the first two. This is not a bar for a first date, or any date for that matter. What it is is a place to hang out, enjoy a drink, play a game of pool, and listen to their jukebox which is truly unlike most others in the city. A lot of rock, mostly of the more obscure variety, is featured here. This is a true monument to Lower East Side bar culture and a last remaining holdout in the face of its gentrification.
