Our friends from the Bowery treated us to the little spot AKA the 288. Cozy confines, great drinks, and a solid juke box.
What else could you ask for in a bar? You want animals up on the wall? Oh they got that too.
Hopefully they’re fake, but they look real to me.

A fine bar. I’ve been coming here on and off for 16 years. It’s never let me down. I hope it stays here forever. A place to sit and no attitude or pretension. Every neighborhood needs a spot like this.

This spot is decent. Chill laid back environment and a decent beer happy hour. I got a meh cocktail and it was something like $ 14.wha?!? Anyways, I’d go back for a drink or two.

Bunch of friends, on a Friday night, looking for a bar to converge to: Tom & Jerry is the solution. Enough space, cheap drinks, cocktails & beer. Everyone is happy.
Think of it as a NoHo version of a HIMYM or Friends bar scene!

Decent place, good beer selection and great bar tenders. Definitely gets crowded but hey, what bar in NYC that’s decent doesn’t get get crowded? They let you order food from outside and eat it there which is great, lots of good food spots in the area.

A parking lot coupon on Elizabeth Street helped us discover this very cool little bar with a wonderful $ 5 5 – 7 happy hour. For big beers and nice cocktails. Crowded with even some dogs on leash. Nice people celebrating Friday eve! Cool art and heads of bison, water buffalo, moose etc with odd pottery collection make the décor one of a kind. Top notch and friendly bartenders. Glad we found this place. Already recommended it.

Came into this local bar in a slightly bad mood, left in a great mood. It’s nice to meet a genuine human instead of fake smiles. Brian was a lovely man, maybe a rarity in this society of political correctness and bull shit. A proper gent!

Love this bar. Relaxed cool vibe, great bartenders, good tunes, chill crowd, mixed age range (before 9pm you’ll find an 30+ crowd, later hours may unfortunately attract some NYUers ugh.). Fun cocktail menu, great selection of tap craft beers, nice selection of wine, and a kickass bloody mary! Personally I make it a criteria to only drink in places that have taxidermy adorning the walls… Needless to say they they meet my criteria. ;-) Lolz.

Friends and I used to spend alot of time here. Whether it was the first stop or the last stop of the night, we always needed to pop in. Warm feeling with nicely dim lighting, wooden bars and tables, unpretentious and laid back folks. It gets super packed on the weekends! Drinks are great (and pricey) and the bartenders awesome. I miss everything about this place except for the creepy taxidermy on the walls…

Cool «dive» bar with an unpretentious crowd. Came here with my boss after work on a Thursday. Good crowd, though we were able to grab a pair of seats at the bar. Bartenders were SUPER friendly and seemed happy to be there, interacting with each of the customers. Good hip-​hop/​pop music too (kudos to whoever’s ipod was on!).
Great list of cocktails available on the bar and a good selection of beer, both bottled and draft. Prices seemed to be average.
Keep in mind that this bar is CASH only.
Convenient location for anyone starting their night on the north side of the village and working their way down.
Not sure if they do happy hour specials, I didn’t see any signs posted on the wall.

The bar itself is Okay. It’s NOT a dive. It’s alittle divey but too clean, nice, and expensive to be a dive. It’s a great neighborhood bar though.
The real star here is the bartenders. Stacy has great energy and is super friendly.
Cash only.

I love this place. It’s a dive bar in the greatest sense of the word. The atmosphere is super laid back and the beer is always icy cold.
Bartenders are super cool/​
It tends to get a bit crowded (in other words, packed!) on weekends, but overall, this is a fantastic place. New York needs more of this type of cool bar.
The only downs is that it’s cash only and there are dead animal on the walls. A little off putting

One of my old haunts in NYC.
T&J never disappoints. This is a dive bar — in case you didn’t read that, I typed Dive Bar!
I & my ex used to spend a lot of time here & those were good times indeed.
Had to pop in as I was in town and I was not disappointed. Great service, cool vibes & the music is just what it should be in dive bar!
Big ass drink selection and if you don’t like what you see on the wall the kick ass bartenders will brew you up something good… like any good dive bar does!
The toilets are toilets. Get in do your business & go — don’t look for luxury products, there ain’t any and that’s a good thing here cause it’s a dive bar!
Thanks for the hangover Brian, glad you are still heading up T&J’s. Will catch you up again! Great times… Great times!

Cash-​only bar and It was extremely busy. A great ambience and good lighting, not too dim as you can get in some places.
Service was swift and there was a fair selection of draft beers. The big game animal heads on the walls are nice conversation pieces.
Would definitely recommend. Awesome Hidden Gem!

Came here recently for a friend’s birthday on a Sat night and had a blast! It’s not quite a dive bar but it definitely doesn’t try to be fancy. The bartenders are really nice and accommodating for all the random drinks our group ordered. It’s a pretty small/​narrow place but and while it did get somewhat crowded, to be expected, it somehow didn’t feel overwhelming. We all had room to walk around and even grabbed the big table in the back.
Also, LOVE the moose heads etc on the wall. Cool vibe, great drinks. Will definitely be hitting up this place again soon!

This bar has a down home feel to it that draws me in. I love the high ceilings, the hardwood floors, the taxidermy, the vintage Pyrex bowl’s on the shelf behind the bar with lettering spelling out «Tom & Jerry’s» and I especially love the crafty beers on top. It makes me feel at home.
One night I came here with my husband and everyone had brought their pup with them. The place was crawling with K9’s. My husband was in love! He’s a huge fan of those who walk on 4 legs. They were running down to the basement and back and forth from the bar. It felt like this was everyone’s neighborhood bar and the pups owned the place. I definitely enjoy a crowd of neighbors.
Perfect spot to chill and have a beer.

I like the atmosphere in here, cool vibe, comfortable lighting (not too bright/​dark), and the music level was not annoying because you can still have a conversation without having to yell.
It was pretty crowded when I went on a Thursday night, but luckily seats opened up while I was ordering my drink. The bartender was very sweet and asked me what I wanted right away. I got the jalapeño margarita which was unfortunately disappointing. It was more sour than anything else, wasn’t spicy or strong.
Overall, I would come back here for happy hour because I like the vibe, but not to fill my spicy drink addiction.

A dive bar with a lot of character. Considering it’s not a speakeasy or upscale bar, they had a great selection of unique drinks.
On a hot summer day, the «Watermelon Margarita» struck my fancy. It was dangerously delicious. Tasted like a watermelon jolly rancher!
Cash only so bring dem dollaz ;)

With a sea of establishments in downtown Manhattan you can easily flip from gem to boring hole. This casual dive bar with an Indy edge, a splash of guyish and a dash of no airs lovingly falls into the gem category.
The older humble kind gentleman bartender with the bow tie, who felt like a cross between coach from Cheers and Frasiers Father, was friendly, familiar and a bit surreal in the midst of a modern 20s-​30s crowd.
The large moose head, the wood floors, or were they dirt?, all give it the classic bar touch, just well worn, with a soundtrack of 90s Indy tunes like Sonic Youth and Pavement on my visit.
Hipster lite. Kind of clean, in a college dive bar way.
