Tin Lizzie

This place is closed! I tried to go last night and its boarded up. Even the signs have been taken down so there’s no trace that this place even existed.

OK, so I’ve worked in bars an restaurants and I know that some of the health regulations are silly. BUT WHAT I SAW HERE TERRIFIED ME. It was 2:00pm and it wasn’t even busy, so there is absolutely no excuse for this:
1. The bartender will use your glass to scoop the ice for your drink (this leads to a bin of ice full of tiny shards of ice over time) and is COMPLETELY against health codes. Sensible ones.
2. When you are ready for another drink, your bartender with take your same glass, dump the remains in the sink and then drag your dirty glass full of your own backwash through the same ice bin, that is now full of everyone else’s dirty drink remnants and backwash.
3. This drink, if you’re lucky like I was, will be garnished with a lime that looks like it was cut a week ago. It will be brown and slimy and you will think to yourself, hey, I’m not that gal that can’t handle a dive bar, I freakin love dive bars. But this guy is just lazy, and he’s going to get a boatload of people really sick.
If this is how they hand’e their bar, I’m not risking how they handle their kitchen.
Run away LIKE YOUR HAIR IS ON FIRE.

If you’re into the whole hipster scene or think you are too cool for almost every bar this place is not for you.
My friend has been bar tending here for years and it is my go to if I do not want to troop all the way down town. Drinks in plastic cups whatever, are you really there for the cups anyways? The drinks are strong and the beers are cheap.
The crowd does get a bit bro-​y but whatever who really cares when you are out just wanted to have a good time.

I walked in and was immediately surrounded by schmeebs.
Other reviewers have said this place is populated by d-​bag frat boys? Maybe, if they all belong to the 200+lb. neck beard frat. aka NF.
If you’re a dank bro, stay away.

Tin Lizzie –where wastey-​faces come to end their evenings shouting along to top 40. Every 20-​something that is even the slightest bit yuppie has been here. I admit to going a handful of times but it got old quick, especially after getting in an argument with a bartender who was too drunk to do his job.

Yes this place is a hot mess. Stumbled in with my friend one night not knowing what to expect.
I was completely surprised by the amount of guys in khaki pants! It was literally a khaki pants fest of college guys and guys that wish they were back in college. Surrounding these guys were lots a girls who may have taken off a layer of clothes or two earlier in the night. While my friend ordered us drinks, I decided to use the bathroom. My butt was grabbed quite a bit walking down the stairs (I mean, it is a cute butt…) and inside the ladies rooms was quite a scene. This is about 11pm keep in mind and I haven’t been drinking as heavily as the rest. There was broken glass everywhere and the stall doors had a considerable about of damage which left about 2 out of the 6 usable. One girl looked at me and started crying A LOT about some guy that pissed her off… and just as I was about to mention that crying would not bring him back, a couple burst out of one of the two usable stalls a bit disheveled and a nipple ring popped out. All the other girls looked at the couple in disgust mostly because it looked like they were jealous they weren’t getting any and they all proceeded to freak out/​make bitchy comments. Then one girl screamed out «EWE THEY WERE DOING COKE» making only 1 out of the 6 stalls usable. When I finally got to a stall, the toilet seat completely fell off and put me in an awkward spot. When I finally made it out alive with a slight worry of contracting a venereal disease… I met back up with my friend and told him about my experience. So, he decided to use the bathroom but was sad to report the guys bathroom was not as exciting.
As I waited I sipped my $ 5 jack and ginger while watching girls dance on the bar and listened to top 40 plus a mix of old school 80s and 90s music.
This bar is meant for the college crowd and if you enjoy the kinds of things mentioned above this is the bar for you!
Go with a big group and wear your push up bra!

This is where you go when you are wasted, it is 3AM, and you just wanna fist pump and sing along to Journey.
This is not where you go to:
–meet people
–have good service
–enjoy a clean establishment
Do not go here:
–on a date
–to have conversation
–expecting a classy environment
If you do go here:
–shoot jameson
–go with a group
–dance to 80’s/90s hits that the kids from glee have re-​done and tired out
–pump your fist like you are Pauly D from Jersey Shore and there is no tomorrow

While ok, this falls in line with good ol dorrians– attracting dbags galore. The girls are wasted, young college guys in turn are creepy, and it’s a big sloshfest. Not fun.

SUPREMEly SatisFying
Since I dwell amongst mostly attractive white people, so Saturday night I decided to check out Tin Lizzie’s.
To my ultimate surprise, this is actually a place I would return to! They played the top 40’s and more. Not to mention, the crowd is not pretentious nor creepy. «I like” — (Borat Voice)
However, rumor has it that Dorrians down the block is a better pick-​so I will update this review and provide a comparison.
You Official Have The Supreme Touch!

I agree with Brittany L. I am 23 and I felt old here. Despite being friends with the DJ, I don’t think I would come back here.

No DJ on a Thursday night, instead a truly terrible music mix that included a bizarre selection of emo-​ish alternative music not at all conducive to dancing, a rare 80’s hit, and really bad remakes of otherwise decent songs. When we arrived between 12 and 1, the place wasn’t full, and the back dance floor area was completely darkened, which was kind of depressing and unwelcoming; to the bartender’s credit, he turned some lights on in the back when we started dancing there. The bathroom situation is unacceptable — it opens essentially right onto the dance floor, yet there is no handle, nor lock, just a hole in the door stuffed with tissue paper. I heard later that there was another bathroom downstairs, but that does little to mitigate the disaster of a restroom situation. I see absolutely no reason to return.

I’m not so sure anyone there was allowed to be there. I am young, I felt old here. crappy drinks, cheap prices, fiesty young crowd and AWESOME MUSIC. Speedy, smile-​less service and I don’t really recall much else. I’ll pass on coming back though.

No.

Tin Lizzie is basically a lamer version of your run-​of-​the-​mill Murray Hill bar.

If you are walking down the sidewalk and you whiff the smell of douche wafting into your nostrils, then you know you are standing in the vicinity of this stinkhole of a bar.
Each time I have been here, weather it be on a weekend night or on a bar crawl, it is filled with frat boys and some of the loser girls who like to hang with them. Always more of a sausage fest then anything. Music selection sucks too. Boring interior. Boring beer selection. Meh bartenders.
Why this place is still around is beyond me. So many other better bars on 2^nd Ave to hit up. Pass it by if you have any self respect. You can do it!

I stopped by just before 12AM to meet my friends since they were done with Das Boot across the street at Heidelberg. It was a 70 degree night in the middle of February. Just as I got there my friends were complaining they switched bartenders. One dude was telling me how there was a petite little chick that had booty for days but all I saw were two frat looking white boys. Gee I came just at opportune time. Should had stayed at Heidelberg, at least they had good beer and German women that can wrestle.
It was a total sausage fest with no game on, crappy music and even crappier service. I asked for water and the dude filled a dinky small plastic pixie cup half way and tossed it on the counter. :Jet Li in Lethal Weapon: In Hong Kong… you would be DEAD!!!

There were $ 3 kamikaze specials as part of a bar crawl and since no one wanted to take one with me, I ordered just one. The bartender must have felt bad for me because he gave me 2 more for free. The music was decent and I liked the long, spacious bar. I’d come back!

The only reason I enjoy this place is because I am friends with the bouncers and bartenders. So I get in without a hassle, and I get free drinks. I guess that’s the advantage of being a girl.
But YES I completely agree that it is definetely a post college party bar. I think I enjoy most seeing older men dressing either as the preppy college kid or the jock college kid. And I also enjoy 40 year old women pretending not to be their age. But of course this was me going here when I just turned 21.

Last time I was physically dragged here by ues girl-​friends:
A. Required inebriation prior to arrival analogous to an anesthetic prior to a painful surgery
B. Motif/​décor was forgettable, dark enough thank goodness
C. Smell was on par with a dive; stale beer on wood
D. DJ and small-​ish dance floor conducive to drunk grinding with said ues gfs and other strangers daring to dance to hip-​slop nonsense
E. Drinks were pretty strong, and inexpensive… which was good because I spilled like 50% of them on my dance partners and on strangers’ backs… my bad
F. Bartenders were friendly and pretty patient with smashed patrons
G. Fun bar to wreck shop with girl-​friends (that like to dance insanely)
I will hit again once dragged through the ues bars.

«TAKE ME HOME TONIIIIIGHT…» You’ll hear that song, and if you’re a girl, you’ll hear those words from at least one guy, pretty much every night at Tin Lizzie’s. Classy it ain’t, so know before you go!
Ok, so Tin Lizzie doesn’t get a lot of love for obvious reasons. The frat boy/​ditzy girl stereotype sure does fit, but hey, can’t we all just get along?!
I love that it’s not a super pretentious place, that I don’t have to get all dolled up (although a lot of girls certainly do), and that I know they’ll place music I will love to dance to. Yeah, a lot of people get way too drunk and act like morons, and occasionally some skanky girls who think they are just too hot to handle will try to dance on the bar, but sometimes you have to take some bad with the good. Or something.
Nothing special at all about the drinks, I really just go for a little dance party action.
