by Greshka P. on So disappointed, didn't even get to see the place. We were supposed to go to an event here, that same afternoon we ant to the venue to get tickets for the rest of our group that hadn't purchased them, and to get more information. The doormen weren't rood but weren't happy to help with the information either. Once they answered one question they would turn without answering our next question. Time for the event we go to find the street shut down by police - they oversold the event. Even the people, like us, that had purchased their ticket in advanced couldn't get in. I do have to give them stars because in a week I had my money back in my account.
by Jim P. on A review for people with ADD So I'm reading the Wall Street Journal last week, and they have these brief lists of recommended DVD's. (I love lists) The movie: "After Hours" (Martin Scorcese) Since this movie is filmed in NYC (which I collect) I drop the order in seconds on my iPhone Amazon app. I get the movie the next day, along with a book I'm reviewing. I read my book, while I'm watching my movie, and on comes an exterior shot of Emerald Pub (then called Terminal Bar or at least for this movie) So, of course I need to Google that, to find its location. 308 Spring Street, now called Emerald Pub. Duly noted on rateclubs for this review. As I read my book, a short story essay involving Scotch, brings to mind that pub, and I think. "That would probably be a cool bar to hang out, drink Scotch, and read a book at the bar, like so many literary types I've admired in the past. (When is this guy going to get to the review?) All in all, this is a good place. I can't speak to after work crowds, or this as a "destination", since it's a little out of the way, but if you have a need to feed your obsessive compulsiveness for finding obscure movie scenes, this a good bet. Atmosphere: Cool Bartenders: Funny Scotch: Helpful The rest is mystery.
