We say:
A great place to grab a beer or take a piss after exiting the subway. Its location at the top of the subway stairs will always ensure at least a moderate crowd though. Especially on the weekends when the L seems to come once every 2 hours… everyone needs a drink after wasting half a night on the subway platform. Now with a pool table. Subway bar is intimate and mellow.
The Village Voice says:
Like most bars that depend on nearby transit hubs for their business (highway bars, airport bars) there’s nothing spectacular about Subway Bar. Go in, have a drink, come out. Maybe that pint will help brace you for the inevitably shitty, endless ride on the G train.
