NYMAG SAYS: Famously owned by the almost-famous band The Rogers Sisters, Daddy's has quickly become a neighborhood institution, thanks mostly to its market-cornering location, pointedly eclectic jukebox (Royal Trux, vintage country), and college-wallet-friendly prices. (Sorry, they don't accept Campus Cash.) It’s a great place for prospective market researchers to go on a trend-spotting safari—many experts believe that the vintage-boots-over-jeans thing was born here. With cozy booths and a wide, horseshoe-shaped bar, Daddy’s is nevertheless spacious enough to comfortably support rival cliques...and an Elvis pinball machine. The beer and the liquor selections are limited but for those who overindulge in hard drinking, Daddy's is kind enough to provide hot/tofu dogs to absorb any excess booze.
From City Search
"Comfortably distant from the Bedford Avenue throngs, this cabin-like neighborhood bar has a hearty rock-and-roll feel. There's plenty of seating--around the hand-built, semi-circular wood bar, in generously sized, curved booths and at choice tables by the fireplace in back. The room tends to be low-key, but occasionally packs an exuberant crowd; bartenders are chummy and serve at a leisurely pace. Entertainment includes the table-top Ms. Pacman/Galaga game, rotating pinball machines and a heady jukebox selection that spans Television, Royal Trux and Irma Thomas. The bar offers only a few specialty cocktails, including an unfortunately Kaopectate-like grasshopper, a bright but modestly sized margarita with Florida-shipped Key lime juice and a kick-ass, spicy Bloody Mary."
From Village Voice
"A laid-back bar removed from the hustle of Bedford, Daddy's has a killer jukebox featuring old country, '70s rock, and singles by screaming girl bands. Patrons vie for seats near the Ms. Pacman consule, compete at pinball, and know to ask about the stash of board games beneath the bar. Another game, spot the future rock star, can also be played here -- Daddy's owners play in the Rogers Sisters, and attract their own kind. For animal lovers, the bar offers tofu hot dogs (regular are also available), and canines are welcome -- forget the mounted deer head already. Weather permitting, drink one of the intense Bloody Marys on the back patio. "

what the fuck is up with bartenders at places like daddy's not giving you a free drink after you buy about 8 drinks and tip on every single one. It's ridiculous. So rude. This place sucks.

The bar itself is decent, the jukebox is great.
Some of the bartenders are just oblivious though. Typical stuck up faux-rock star hipsters, but if they are, I just go to another bar.

"Daddy's is as cozy as Eskimo pussy in an Alaskan igloo. They've got one of the best jukeboxes I have ever seen that actually updates itself with either albums I own myself (Cramps), albums I wish I owned (George Jones), or albums I've been wanting to hear (Os Mutantes). The last time I went, the songs were four for a dollar, and a night before that , the machine had unlimited picks all night long. And don't you just love bars that serve a little food to keep you going when the party gets late? You don't need to eat dinner before you go drinking at Daddy's because they've got hotdogs and chips to keep your BAC in check. Oh, I'm sorry, are you vegan? It's cool. They've got veggie dogs for the eating evolved."
