Best bar in NYC
By John, 05/27/07
It was last July that I travelled to NYC for the first time with a friend of mine. We spent most of the time sight-seeing and drinking. By our final night (a Sunday) we had been to some really great bars, but on this night we were having trouble finding a bar that was still open. I had seen this bar earlier and suggested seeing if it was still open. It was...so in we went.
I would have loved to have seen our faces as we walked through the door. What had we let ourselves in for? I ordered two bottles and we tried to take in ...the decor...the punters...the staff. My immediate thought was to neck the bottle and get out as fast as possible. What we did do was calm down and enjoy the place. So we stayed for another bottle, I went outside for a cigarette and got involved with a group of folks with an acoustic guitar. One impromptu singalong to War Pigs later and I was in my element.
2:45am on a New York street singing Black Sabbath with a bunch of friendly lunatics....what could be better? Will definitely go back next time I come over. I haven't even mentioned the crazy girl that served us....BRILLIANT! Oh yes....and I did try the toilets!
