There’s no “boo” in Bua. The staff is super-chill at this boilerplate suds shop where lounge lizards perch on chesterfields while sipping martinis and pints of imported beer. Don't be surprised if you find East Village hotties making-out until 4am--you probably will too once you sink into the cozy confines that flicker with candlelight. The Bua crowd is a bit more in bloom than its neighbors, but it is St. Marks, so it’s not totally NYU-free. Outside seating has drinkers getting that bronzy glow during the summer months. But, honestly, why sit outside when you can bask in all that drunken candle-lit make-out glory?
Wow, somebody has an agenda!! Bua is a cool bar. They make good drinks and look after people in a genuine way. Sure its a popular place that gets busy on weekends but that always happens to good bars. Don't be a hater! And their drink prices are better than most.

Under aged crowd. Dump in a bad way. Avoid it.
I live around the corner and I hate this place. It started out with a very under aged crowd, mostly of non-East Village, Queens type blue collar worker children. Now it has a police state atmoshphere. Further, the drinks are more expensive than many of the traditional local places. For sure, it is not cool. Most importantly, count your change when you buy a drink.

This is a cozy place that I like in the winter because of the candles inside, but in the summer the tables out on the patio is perfect for hanging out on a late afternoon early evening enjoying a cool one. The bartenders are friendly and relaxed and the crowds is ok, it can be a little young on the weekends because of the location, but it’s not too bad. I’ve been here plenty of times and I gotta say, this place serves one of the best apple martinis I’ve tasted.
