Scruffy Duffy's

It’s one of my favorite locations in the Hell’s Kitchen area. If you ever want to go to a bar and play pool with your friends, Scuffy Duffy’s is the place to be. With TVs on every corner, Scruffy’s is every group of friends favorite sports bar.

My go-to bar in Hell’s Kitchen. The vibe is always nice, chill, music is always to my liking. One moment it’s hip hop the next it’s classic rock that everyone can sing to. Bartenders are your best friends and the atmosphere with the art it’s perfect to me… I do miss when they used to make pizza. My favorite was a pizza called The Conflicted with prosciutto, OMG!!! That changed my pizza world. Singo night is missed too [COMING BACK WEDNESDAYS IN SEPT ] but still a great bar for a good time.

They play the Bears and White Sox games for me. And then they don’t mind that I curse at the TV.

Back in the 90s, when it was on 8th Avenue, Scruffy Duffy’s was our regular place. Loved the wings, loved playing pool, and loved the ambiance. When it disappeared, it was a very sad time. So it’s amazing that it’s reopened. Sure, it’s a new location, but the wings and ambiance are the same. It’s old news now, of course, that Scruffy’s is back, but I still get a tingle of excitement every time I see it.
