Nice place, nice ambiance, good drinks and great bar food. Hip enough to have fun with friends but chill enough to sit down and just chat.

Went with a friend to watch the super bowl. Decent neighborhood bar. Mostly a hangout for Fordham students. Friendly, helpful staff, when you can get their attention… Had the buffalo wings, Caribbean jerky and mild. taste was great, chicken was a little dry. Couple of beers, gin and tonic, vodka cranberry… no complaints with the drink. Price is pretty decent. A good place to hang.

If your looking for a good time, good food, and good beer, howl at the moon is the place to be.

This is a place I come to often. All the bartenders are really cool and this is the ONLY place I’ve ever been to where EVERYTHING on the menu is great. Doesn’t matter if it’s the calamari, ribs, burgers, or pasta. Everything is great. The drinks are solid, I usually get the howl’s lemonade to start. Contrary to a previous review the«little girl with the braces» is not the worst. I’ve never had a bad experience here. Highly recommended and will definitely keep coming back!

So I’ve been here a lot and finally met the owner. He turned out to be a real deusch. There was a problem with his staff that he dealt with in one of the worst manners to say the least. Then me and my girlfriend interjected because we both have worked in the industry. He spoke to us for about two minutes with an attitude. The little girl with the braces is the worst also. I was too quick with my first review so I had to re enter this negative review.

Best happy hour ever! Drinks are strong and food is decent. I went on a sunday with no one there but me. I had a great convo with the bartender. Overall, I will be back.

I was there on a Tuesday night. It wasn’t crowded or loud which I loved and the food was amazing. As always, my boyfriend ordered a Steak Quesadilla. This time I ordered the Texas Burger with curly fries which was great, although I wish it had more Doritos. We had a nice cold Stella with our meals and decided to finish off with a cocktail. The Shark Bite is a must have! My only suggestion is to update the website, esp. the menu section. Will be back! :)

Didn’t eat here but the happy hour specials and selection is by far the best deal you can get when traveling to the big apple. $ 4 draft, $ 7 pitcher, $ 4 mixed drinks(not well) and $ 5 martinis. This is the perfect after work spot to catch a cold one with a bite or take your loved one for some good suds. Drink up and be merry.

If you go at the wrong time you could be waiting for a while to get in. Entrance with a fordham id. If you have to go to the bathroom, prepare for the worst seeing as they are quite gross. They make a killer margarita but you should split it with a couple people because it’s quite huge. Their food is also not bad. They have good dance music, and room to dance unlike other fordham bars, I hear the floors are slippery so brace yourself. It’s usually 10 $ to get in which is kind of pricey for what you’re getting. They have drink ups occasionally. It’s a college bar, and it fits all of the college bar stereotypes.

Two pitchers cost $ 42? What in gosh danged fucking heck is this shit? This place doesn’t know it wants to go to the beach or be a sports bar. Palm trees to the right and jerseys to the left. The neon sign for the bar was flickering like a horror movie and I should have known better. Old decrepit lady behind the bar talking about bad omens, the bad omen is the pitcher. DON’T GETPITCHERS. DON’T GETANYTHING… FORTHERESTOFYOURLIFE.

I work at medical office nearby and I never ever even noticed the place since it looks like a old car from outside until one of my co workers suggested this place for happy hour. The drinks where pretty awesome and there served in Mayson jars which gives it the extra cute look. There wing and fried calamari are to die for. Very well cooked and tasteful. The service however is very slow but I can’t complain because they have only one girl as a host /server and bartender. I tipped her pretty well because I knew I would not be able to handle that job and she was as fast as she could be and very kind. The place needs a make over ASAP. but they get a pass since there food is good. Just know u will not get the best service. A regulars bar with great food and good mojitos. If your in the area go ahead and stop by but it’s not a place for u to travel far to get there.

Solid wings and cheap beer, this was our college haunt in the vanuted«tri-bar» area. They began to raise prices and tried to make the place go from dive to chic(without replacing any of the décor) and charging a cover, so I went less and less before I graduated. Locally owned, and there was a huge Sharks vs. Jets street fight outside my last night of college, something I sadly will never forget. I also fondly recall«DJ iPod» as we dubbed him, he of never playing real music on turntables, only blasting the latest Pitbull jam through some speakers on his portable music player. He also would look through a curiously placed hole in the women’s bathroom from time to time.

I use to love this place. I would tell my friends all over NYC that minus the under grads this was a great place to drink and hang with friends. They just raised prices on pitchers of beer to $ 11.00 and to me thats way to much I will walk the extra .5 miles and go to tinker and pay half that.

This place has the best hot wings in NY! I don’t want to hear where they come from, I don’t care. They’re hot, they’re full of flavor, they’re meaty, and they’re crispy. Those are my four qualifications for great hot wings. Other than that, it’s an unmemorable dive bar.

I went here after work with some coworkers. The ambience was cool with palm trees and the wait staff was pleasant and attentive. I had 2 screwdrivers at 5 bucks a pop and chicken fingers with curly fries. There was nothing unique about the quality or style of this place BUT it’s a cool place to enjoy your group over cocktails and food in the late afternoon for sure! My long island was made with some dark liquor that kind of threw me off but… I’ll be back :)

Went there last night, it was OK. I liked the $ 7 pitcher of Coors Light. The food is not great. the nachos are like what’d you get at the movies. the wings meeeeh! For an occasional cheap drink it’s OK to go, but don’t expect an unbelievable or exciting experience there!

*Disclaimer* I worked here 5 years ago for approximately 2 months. I realized that I was never going to learn how to bartend, and the owners were never going to learn my name. It is a typical college bar on Arthur Ave for all of the Fordham kids. The place meshes 8 tacky themes into a small bar, including ‘tiki beach,’ ‘sports mecca,’ ‘dive bar,’ and ‘italian pride.’ It looks like they went to a Party Decoration store and just bought whatever was on sale. Obviously the food is not good. Their ‘famous wings’ actually made my partner SICK last night! He got BBQ wings and felt horrendous a few hours later and we had eaten nothing else. I’d say stay away from all their food and just drink beer. The happy hours are fine and due to the college bar guidelines that they follow, you can buy a pitcher of beer for $ 6 – 8. Unless you work in the area or go to Fordham there’s really no reason to go. We were attempting to have a walk down memory lane. No outdoor seating and in the summer its never crowded. Also the«bathrooms» have curtains as doors and are smaller than my NYC closet. The curtains are quite uncomfortable and reveal you more than you’d probably planned.

I’m a college student, who needs to get drunk once in a while. One night last wekk, my friends and I decided to check out Tribar, the three-bar«triangle» in the Bronx where all the Fordham kids go. We went to howl because it wasn’t as packed as Mugzs or Ziggys, but I don’t like it more than the other two. After paying the ridiculous $ 15 cover to get in, we found out that a drink-up was going on and we didnt have any wristbands. Pissed off, we decided what we were going to do next. I decided that, since this is the only bar that serves food. Id try some of their nachos. At $ 9, it was expensive, but at least the nachos were plentiful, and actually fairly decent. Granted, the jalapenos were canned, the guacamole was preservative-laced, and the cheese wasn’t fully melted, but it was all right as a bar snack, but not at the price of $ 9 i can assure you. I will probably go back there, or dragged there as the case will probably be, but based on that night, it isn’t exactly a place I put on my bar crawl list.

All right, it’s time to add a star. Why? After all the agony and unwanted encounters? The bartenders really are nice, but that’s not why. Suits, who manages Mugzs down the street, is a sicko who has too many times let his horny/rejected sentiments run rampant on my rare ventures thus chasing me to Howl, but that’s not why. When someone selectively took my coat from Howl one night I never recovered it, so that’s not why. Well, WHY then? Because I am a senior, and I am going to leave this hole of shallow, Corona-drinking scum soon. And until then, I am going to attend all the senior nights Fordham will host for me. When the dependably shitty dj becomes too much to bear on those nights, I will head to Howl where only seniors will be allowed in to continue their inebriated denial, ineptitude, and temporary self-destruction. And for that I will give any bar… one more star. Still, bad job for hiring the douche I used to date to dj monthly on Thursdays. I’ve been told their debut night at Howl was the first beat Thursday night they’ve had in a while. I could’ve told you that would happen. What a fail.
