this place is fire, stumbled upon it after a google search of nearby bars and ended up meeting some of the coolest uncs i’ve ever met shoutout eric and bruno 2•22•2k26 :P
Its a metalhead dive bar. Its exactly as it should be. The vibe is perfect for the crowd and they shouldn't change a thing. Lots of cool memorabilia from musicians and horror.
No food rating because Nathan Explosion said booze ain't food
Great Bar, bottled beers only. But really nice flair. The Wheel of Misfortune is a nice treat and if you are in the rock/metal music scene, you'll love it here. Lots of lore and lots of good times an people.
Such a fun and eclectic bar! I loved all of the details in the aesthetic and my margarita was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and returned cash that fell from my wallet, which I obviously appreciated. Definitely recommend!
We’re from out of town we were recommended to go to this bar cause it’s all kind of music
Bartender was phenomenal Sunday the 27th I think her name is Stephanie
I’m writing this explicitly to tell the owner she’s awesome. You’ll do a great job.
I met the owner a few nights ago at the acid bath concert. He was hanging out with Paul Booth.
We made it to your bar just a little later than we wanted to, but it was a good time
Thank you for the hospitality
If you like heavy metal and rock and roll this is the bar to be at. The staff was awesome the atmosphere was amazing. If it was closer to home I’d go more often. It’s definitely worth a visit.
Incredible metal/rock memorabilia, really first class. Bartenders have always been super awesome people. I come here with friends before metal shows and whatever the owner puts in the Jesus juice is surprisingly delicious
Nice place for heavy metal death/Gothic
Bartenders are super friendly, drinks are cheap, beer ice cold, music loud, but you can go to the back where you can sit and have a conversation with your friends or people you meet there, they have an old school jukebox where you can play your music, CD are changed once a month so each month you find new albums there, some creepy decoration items here and there, decoration is just amazing all the items displayed are signed by artists from drum heads, guitars, concert tickets and so on, no food tho but they allow you to get food from outside, best option is the dollar slice pizza up the corner. I've seen and met all kinds of people there, so i assume it's also LGBTQ friendly for the folks who are wondering, since I've seen some people who identify as. Having a drink and laugh, this is the place to go to have fun meet new people
Duff's, Brooklyn is a sanctuary for metalheads, a in a city infected by pop, autotune and repetitive empty tunes, this bar stands a lone for the few metal spirits out there. The bar is packed with memorabilia, and a lot of the decoration is dedicated to local rockstar Peter Steele, creating an intense atmosphere that says heavy metal! Great music, cold beer. Drinks are reasonably priced, and the bartender knows how to pour a strong one. It's a dive bar with a unique vibe, where you can let loose and enjoy the raw energy. Whether you're there for the music, the drinks, or the unapologetically gritty ambiance, Duff's delivers a one-of-a-kind experience. Just be ready for a wild night.
The only bad thing; Restroom stink badly.
Great staff, reasonable prices, and I can enjoy a beer without having to listen to Drake on repeat. Awesome dark atmosphere and great music. I really wish they had more bars like this in NYC.
Been to Duff's two outta the three times I've come to NYC and enjoyed both times. It was MUCH busier this last time I went earlier August and I know I'm short and all but I felt I kept getting passed up at the bar for newer customers even with my card held out. When I did get to order I only wanted one round of drinks, but she didn't give me a chance to order anything else just said "it's a $20 minimum" and kept my card after I had already told her it was just the one round. I would have just ordered double and closed it out there since I knew they were so busy.
prior to that was for my birthday before Christmas in 2019. :) will always come back for the atmosphere and music!
Just after the first visit this place became my favourite underground getaway spot.
Friendly staff and for the true rock-metal heads millions of authentic and original memorabilia hanging on the wall..amazing!
This place has become one of my favorite dives. If you’re a metal fan, you’ll love the decor and music. The drinks are dirt cheap ($4 for a well drink) so it’s a great low budget night out option.
This is a must for all Metal Heads who are in the area or passing through.The owner Jimmy is a good guy and I always run into to familiar faces and make new friends here. So much memorabilia from bands are all over the place and they even have some guitars on display, including a Bass guitar that was owned by Peter Steele of Type O Negative(see my pics). Duffs also host a celebration of Peter's life every April.
No doubt this is currently the best heavy metal bar around. The jukebox plays excellent music, loud, but you can still talk to each other without yelling. Drinks are good, lots of beer choices and about 100 feet from the Marcy Avenue "J/M" elevated subway train station for a quick getaway if both your husband/wife/fiance' and boyfriend/girlfriend come in looking for you. Feet don't fail me now!!! I came in on the anniversary of "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's death so they were playing all his music, and they were raffling off a beautiful Dean guitar. Fun and Metal Music Heaven \m/ and lots of really cool memorabilia to look at on the walls. This is the epitome of Metal Bars! Their T-shirts are cool too.
It’s a perfect place if you like rock and roll. Really good music, clean place, cheap drinks at any time. I’d been there twice with my wife, once at happy hour. We were surprised with the price of the Pabst (just 1.50) and with the good music. We’ll be back many many times. Recommend it 100%
This bar is brilliant. It’s absolute metal and fits every beautiful stereotype it should. The music is loud, fast, and heavy. The lighting is all red and and fits the room so well. There’s a massive collection of signed drum heads from all of the metal greats, legends, and current rockers. Photos and backstage passes are all over the walls. Staff is friendly and firm. Clientele talks rock and roll but is generally welcoming to strangers. It would be foolish not to wear black to the bar but every metalhead knows that. A gem of Brooklyn nightlife. Beer list is adequate and shots are great. They feature totally reasonable prices and it’s a very short walk from the subway. They offer cool bar merch to purchase. It’s not uncommon for patrons to scream along with the stereo. Really a gem of a rock and roll establishment.
Duff's is the candy shop for my life-long love of metal - made my 1st Brooklyn weekend a blast! Total awe of the memorabilia absolutely inch of the place. The patrons of common interests & staff with killa pours were fun af! Can't wait to go back!!
heavy metal bar near marcy, but hey it works and it's a dope spot. went for a blood drive and got a few $1 pbr's and a cool tshirt. i would come back again
