Crocodile Lounge

Redeemed my check in offer, ordered patron and grapefruit juice and it was great. The free pizza was not great pizza but it’s free nonetheless! The bartender even grabbed me some foil to take it to go because my ride came early. Great atmosphere and service. Will be back!

Cheap drinks and free pizza with the purchase. I was a tourist and a little watering hole was a great comfortable stop.

Bartenders suck but the cheap drinks & free pizza makes up for it.

Two words: Free Pizza. This place won me over with just that!
This place was a little divey but cute; couple of tables, plenty of room to stand, a decent selection of craft brews and PIZZA. For every pint you order you get a ticket for your little personal pizza which you can bring to the back for them to make whenever you’re ready for it. I call that a steal in NYC for $ 7! You have the option to add on some toppings but really… plain pizza is all you need when you’re doin’ a little boozin’. Just make sure to tip the pizza guy and you’re all set!

Officially the best dive bar in New York. Not only are the atmosphere laid back and the prices decent, but you get a free pizza with every beer purchase. 5 friends and I went there and bought 1 – 2 pitchers each (over 5 hours) and we had about 10 pizzas leftover after we all stuffed ourselves. In summary: amazing value!

How can you go wrong with FREE PIZZA?!
wasnt good at all, but it was still pizza! and you’re probably buzzed already, so your taste quality for pizza just got to settle.
But I gotta agree with lots of other reviews. The guy in the back is not a friendly dude. Him forcing me to tip him, makes me not want to tip him.

Free pizza with every beer or shot! By the end of the night my group of friends and I had so MANY pizza tickets leftover…
$ 5 photo booths. $ 6 pints. Mini arcade in the back.

Cheap beer — most around $ 6. Magic hat #9 draft was excellent I’ve been to bars where it tastes off. Bar was actually pretty roomy and didn’t smell of stale beer. Bartenders were fast and nice. Buy one drink and they give you a coupon to bring to the back where they have a pizza oven and the guy gives you a pizza (super fast). You get coupons for shots too. They also have a skee ball machine in the back and a photo booth that gives you 2 copies of your pics for $ 5. The only downside were the bathrooms. The stalls were super tiny and had a weird little step to go up to the toilet that your feet barely fit on. Luckily I’m on the smaller side, but my taller friends had some issues. Haha other than that we had a great time and I’ll be back to this bar for sure.

I’m not a huge fan of dive bars. Came here for a drink after work on a Friday. It wasn’t too crowded, but getting a drink took upwards of forever. Getting the bartender’s attention was pretty hard the first time, so it took even more time when she ended up forgetting to give me back my credit card. I ended up being away from the table so long that my friends had to check up on me. I’m definitely not criticizing her, because I understand it’s a high-​pressure environment. Just definitely not my scene.
As mentioned in the other reviews, this place offers a free pizza with every drink. I would say it’s about 8 inches. REMEMBER to tip the guy who makes the pizza, or he will blatantly remind you to.
Overall, I’m not sure I’d come back. I don’t really like crowded, messy bars with mediocre pizzas. If you’re into that, then go here and enjoy.

Pros:
Cheap drafts, and you get a ticket for a free personal pizza with every drink. There’s also a patio area with big picnic tables that’s really nice in the summertime.
Cons:
Once it gets crowded, it does feel a bit slimy. Also, I was here during a crowded Halloween, the pizza chefs were mouthing off to anyone who wasn’t tipping them. It was so uncomfortable that I tipped $ 3. I totally get where they’re coming from, though.
If you hate college bars, don’t come on the weekends or major holidays. Otherwise, check it out!

Other reviewers really have said it all, so there’s probably no point in writing. But whoops I am anyway… Fun dive bar. Trivia/​bingo nights. Skee ball. Free pizza with every beer you buy. Ya done.

Do I have to justify giving 5 stars to a place that gives you a free pizza for every drink you buy? Sure, the pizzas aren’t huge, but they’re FREE. The drinks are fairly well priced as well. A couple of beers (+ 2 small pies) is all you need for a nice cheap dinner out with friends.
However…
I have to agree with some previous reviewers when they say the atmosphere can get a bit ‘college-​y’. I don’t mind though, because it’s better than drunken frat boys fighting and throwing beer at each other or whatever happens outside of big cities.
Of course this is more of a late night place. If you love to eat greasy food after a night of drinking, why not just do it all at once? (I guess most people just like to eat food while drunk. I love food way more than alcohol though, so maybe it’s just people like me?)
The inside is super dark (it’s downstairs), it gets pretty loud and super crowded as well. If you’re not a fan of places like this, then stay away. Otherwise give it a go!

Crappy pizza, crappy décor, but nonetheless Crocodile Lounge is a good time. This is a super dive that serves free pizza… so that should tell you what you’re in for. Don’t expect to be wowed here, just have fun and beat the pants off of your friends in skeeball.

This place is great for a number of reasons, but No. 1 is very important: YOU GET A PERSONAL PIZZA WITH EVERY DRINK YOU PURCHASE.
Please read that again, because those words are magical. The first time I came here, my lightweight drunk self couldn’t believe I only spent $ 12 for two beers and two personal pizzas. It was like entering Narnia, truly.
This place also has some ~fun and cool~ aspects to it that set it apart, like a little nook with pillows where you could sit with a date or some friends. There’s skee-​ball and some arcade games in the back, a cute little patio area in the back, and lots of seating areas. The bathrooms aren’t that bad, either. Not the BEST, but not bad.
I suggest this place when friends want go to for a few drinks somewhere near Union Square, and everyone always has great things to say about it.

Yes, they got me at pizza.
Who doesn’t like getting drunk and devouring pizza?
The drinks are not expensive at all.
You can get a pint for $ 6. They also have a deal that involves a beer and a shot for about $ 8, of course that shot will taste like garbage but that’s ok because you wanna get drunk and fun. haha
It’s so easy to have a good time here. Very casual and chill.
They have an open area in the back, which is nice but they close it relatively early. They have some deer game in the back too and skee ball.
They have trivia and bingo nights. They get really packed for trivia nights!
Hmmm bingo and I are not friends so it seems basically impossible for me to win, but if you do they have prizes that include $ 10 or $ 20 off your tab which is cool.
Beware of the Photo Booth that charges you $ 10 or more, instead of the $ 5 (that you will see when you are drunk), because you will be carried away!
Don’t you dare to trust anyone who does not like pizza.
DON’T EVER TRUST A UnilocalER WHO DOES NOT LIKE PIZZA!
Pizza is life.
Alcohol is fun. Alcohol is your friend — most of the time.
Come have a fun life here! lol

Free pizza with every drink/​shot.
That’s really all I need to write, but I will add :
Skeeball, a photo booth, bingo on Wednesdays (or Thursdays, I don’t remember)
A couch, decent music– not too loud, and fairly priced drinks.
Bartenders are a hit or miss. There’s one bartender who wouldn’t stop giving my friend drinks when he was clearly extremely intoxicated, and I had even told her to close out his tab and she refused. I ended up telling him to close it out and she did. I wasn’t a fan of her. I know she wants her tips and all, but my friend had to wake up a few hours later for work and I didn’t like that she didn’t care and was kinda rude to me about it. I know that he’s a big boy and is responsible for his own life, and bla bla bla, but at least listen to me. Then she complained when shot glasses were breaking. Stop giving shots! Lol
Also the pizza guy TELLS you to tip him which is always obnoxious. I see the tip jar, and I always throw in a dollar or two, but like. don’t personally tell me to tip you and wait until I do.
BUT besides the service, everything else is perfect.

Not sure why this place would get anything less than four stars.
It’s everything a drunkie can ask for– FREE PIZZA w/​every drink. Hell freaking yes! Who cares if the pizza is mediocre… if you’re sober enough to critique the pizza then you obviously didn’t have enough to drink. So please, do yourself a favor and grab a few more shots.
After you’re done with your shots, take your free pizzas with you and head to the back patio. The area is not huge, but I’m sure you’ll be able to enjoy your pizza then.

Who loves free pizza? Me. When I am toasty.
Free mini pizza with every drink purchase. What else do you want? I’m going to be honest, I usually end my evenings here solely because this place is cranking fresh pizzas every minute. Plus there are games and games are fun.
Why can’t I give more than three stars? Just go and you will see why ;)

FREE PIZZA WITH EVERY DRINK!
PHOTOBOOTH!
Yes, the pizza is terrible and the mechanism through which you get it makes no sense:
1. Bartender gives you raffle ticket when you order a drink
2. You bring it to the back and drop it in a bucket of other tickets and dollar bills (make sure the guy at the oven sees you do it)
3. They now know to make a pizza despite the mess of paper in the bucket
4. You have to know when to retrieve said pizza without any notification or knowledge of how many others are waiting for pizza
5. Your pizza is probably cold because you were confused or inattentive. Congratulations.
But cold, dry-​as-​paper, free pizza is still better than no pizza.
This low-​key dive bar has been deserted both times I’ve been here. The first time, they only had Guinness, Sixpoint, and Angry Orchard on draft. On the plus side, for literally 80% of the taps being out, that’s as diverse as you can get. And a pint is only $ 6.
How is offering a free personal pizza with every $ 6 pint financially feasible? If I go more often and get pizza every time, does that tip the scale toward greater profits or fewer? I want you to survive, Crocodile Lounge! But I also love your unsustainable business plan that seems to defy most microeconomics principles.

Certain things piss me off when people start discussing Croc Lounge. «It’s dirty. It’s disgusting. Isn’t it shut down? Drinks are expensive there! I don’t drink beer.» My response is usually silent scowling but what I want to say is: «Shut up, go home!» Crocodile Lounge is almost a city staple. It’s iconic. In a way. Kind of. Yes, its still grimey. It’s underground. You are expected to see some small amounts of filth. There might be too many youths in here as well which can get annoying after 1 or 2 beers but you also don’t want to be here for more than a beer.
Their happy hour is decent for the area and lasts till 7pm — A dollar off drafts (Most are either $ 4 or $ 5. A dollar off your draft if you check in on Unilocal post happy hour. $ 5 wells and $ 6 for a bottle of Miller Highlife (Champagne of beers) plus a shot of whiskey OR $ 8 for Founders All Day IPA, IPA Cans plus a shot of Jack.
What the bar really has always sold me on is a combination of having Skee ball, Big Buck (one of the more fun and older editions), and of course their free pizza for every beer you purchase. I went back recently after maybe a year or two hiatus. The pizza is even better than it used to be. More solid crust, better cheese and sauce ratio, less tasting like a cracker. They have spices here?! What? Fresh cayenne pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and parmesan cheese?! Shut the front door! Crocodile has already upped the ante in my opinion. Also, their rotating beer list is pretty solid and does not exclude from the craft beers.

Good pumpkin beer
Free pizza
