The Bad Old Days

"Bad Old Days is a cute bar with a cozy living room vibe and a great drink menu. Comfy mismatched furniture, good bar food, and lots of hot drinks make this a perfect bar for the cold months." - Young Jerks

"The Bad Old Days looks like a really nice dorm room or the common area of one of the Hogwarts houses: it’s just one little room in Ridgewood with some couches, bookshelves, board games, and a fireplace. It’s perfect for when you need to catch up with someone while you sit on a stool and play Connect Four, and they do a great Happy Hour that involves $5 well drinks and $5 beer-and-shot combos." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"The Bad Old Days is essentially the first off-campus house you lived in when you were in college, but with legal alcohol and in Ridgewood. It isn’t huge, but there are a couple of small couches and some shelves filled with books and board games. There’s also an old Nintendo attached to a little television at one end of the bar. Swing by on a Wednesday if you want to play some trivia." - bryan kim, neha talreja, kenny yang

"The Bad Old Days is a bar in Ridgewood, although it feels less like a bar and more like the common area of the dorm you wished you lived in during college. There are books and board games, and also a couch in front of a fireplace that may or may not be functional. And if you bring your laptop to Happy Hour to get some work done, no one will judge you." - Bryan Kim
