Party Earth Drop Off Service Review

The Scene

A welcoming English ale house situated in a former Laundromat, Drop Off Service and its cheap imperial pints attract an outgoing clientele of creative types and beer lovers.

East Village, New York –

A welcoming English ale house situated in a former Laundromat, Drop Off Service and its cheap imperial pints attract an outgoing clientele of creative types and beer lovers.

Afternoons often see loyal regulars and expats – and their dogs – ensconced at the homey wood bar, which boasts one of the friendliest staffs in town, an impressive line of silver pulls, and a laundry list of British, German, and Belgian beers served in twenty-ounce-deep pints for a measly $3 during Happy Hour.

Later on, comfy cushioned booths along the brick wall provide space for the boisterous crowd of actors, musicians, artists, and blue-collar beer folk who gather to flirt and chat beneath the antique beer and cigarette ads, or load up the jukebox with anything from The Stones and Maiden to Muse and the Ravonettes.

Amazingly low prices mean the place is often packed to the rafters with loud partiers, so those who prefer a bit of conversation will want to slip through the curtains and nab a booth in the smaller side room.

Meat pies and sausage rolls supplied by nearby Tuck Shop just add to the charming English vibe, making Drop Off Service equally great for a pint with the boys or a pre-dinner nibble with someone special.

Because of the great deals here, the place can get ridiculously packed. If you’re with friends and want to be able to talk, grab your Pimm’s Cup and head to the booths in the back room.

Drop Off Service User Reviews

craig wilson May 13, 2013 4.0 stars A Great Happy Hour and a Pretty Good Crowd Too Dropoff Service has one of the best happy hours in New York or anywhere else. The tap list is fantastic and their limited wine selection is still tasty. Imperial pints for $3 until 8pm daily is simply unbeatable once you see the selection. And they make a pretty good gin and soda too. The local crowd is predominantly Stuyvesant Town residents and also includes East Village locals who don't want to go to the competition at Destination next door or Percy's across the street. And Dropoff is definitely the better alternative. When you walk into Dropoff, you never feel like someone wants you to turn around and walk out. The wooden and slightly worn floors and beat-up but cozy booths feel very welcoming. The focus is on the beer and socializing. It can sometimes get loud, but never obnoxious. The taps are kept clean and dogs are no longer allowed, which is even better news (the only drawback had previously been that at times there were up to 6 dogs in the bar at the same time). It is hard to find something bad to say about this place, but sometimes the crowd gets a bit too young and wild late at night. But that goes for most places, and that is a complaint usually lodged only by those who used to be a part of that demographic haha That stated, this is one of my favorite bars in the city!
Alicia Nov 3, 2012 3.0 stars CIDER!!! So this is a bar that me and a friend of mine seem to frequently find our way back to. The location is prime and I only seem to wind up there at the witching hour so there's always plenty of space to sit and have a slurred conversation. Here's the thing about this place: The ambience is drab. They have games that I can't imagine ever wanting to play. But they serve cider ON TAP! Yes, the elusive cider on tap. So good I will overlook everything else to get my hands on one. I'm bumping my rating up one star just for the cider. They've also got a hefty selection of beers.
Chris Krovatin Oct 8, 2012 3.0 stars Imperial pints One of my favorite happy hours in New York is at Drop Off Service, where imperial pints--that's a 20oz beer--go for three bucks. Three bucks! Yeah, they've also got meat pies and sausage rolls from Tuck Shop, and the whacky Paul Divone-ish decor is a lot of fun--but look, THREE DOLLAR IMPERIAL PINTS. ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!
