1020 is a well-loved bar on Amsterdam Avenue at 110th St. It was once the low-key haunt of grad students and hipsters. Today, although it continues to skew a little older, 1020 is now home to a more energetic crowd. There's usually a line outside the door on Thursday-Saturday nights. Someone found love there once. Someone also celebrated his 21st birthday there once --- with his parents.
The bar boasts a dart board and one of the neighborhood's only respectable pool tables. It also comes with friendly bartenders and a groovy decor (read: Christmas lights all year round). Random movies are projected onto a large screen in the back, without sound, and the bar's soundtrack is the definition of a mixed bag.
Drinks are fairly cheap ($3 for Yuengling and Rolling Rock) and happy hours run every day from 4pm-7pm when drinks and tap beers are half price. If you're looking for a quieter scene and cigarette-centric conversation, head over later in the evening; the place is open till 4 am. If you try to order a cocktail there, you should leave.
