Every bars got its constellation of regulars: regular staff, regular patrons, regular vibes. Truth be told, Spikes energy isnt quite for me--something about the slightly frenetic energy of 14th and A seems to trickle into the space and makes it ever so hard for me to relax and ease in. But every time Im there, I can see from the regulars around me that there is a good connection among them and a good energy between them and whoever is working. If you like a slightly raucous energy with games, a few TVs, and a view of the craziness of Avenue A, maybe youll become a Spikes regular yourself.
Its a good after work spot. Bartender is fast with the drinks. You can bring food in but they dont have any food options. I wish the music choice was better its old and not upbeat

I got stabbed in the neck with a dart. Just overall really weird night Had 2 Shirley temples, 2nd one there was orange lip stick on the glass. I think I saw the bartender with that shade on him. Oh well, pizza across the street was good.
Great local spot
Basic bar with beer/shot specials and darts. VERY community feeling abounds here.

Top notch neighborhood bar. Greatest bartenders in NYC
Great selection of beer and nice service.
Noisy, raucous drunken crowds, frequent fights … totally disrespectful to the hood!!!
Its a quaint Irish bar with a good variety of beer. A nice place to watch a game with friends, get drunk and eat food from nearby pizza/taco joints!
Nice little bar.More of an old mans bar than a hookup bar tho
My favorite sports bar in my neighborhood ! Good drinks, great atmosphere and cordial staff .
Was once a bar called horsebox but now its spikes! it has some good beer and shot specials, we went around Halloween and there was a scary clown holding beer! Oooh, spooky!
Good dive. Great shot and a beer deals. Friendly staff

A neighborhood hole in the wall, fantastic place for a casual drink
