by Minhan S. on A nice place to bowl and drink! This bowling alley is pretty normal with upbeat music/video and nice service. however, their pizza wasn't so great.(of course this is not a pizzeria anyway..) This place may have credit because it's located at Chelsea Piers.
by Codi Derousse on What is not to love about this amazing lounge? First I have to say that the place pretty much mirrors most of the standard SF lounges that have a focus on amazing cocktails (eg. swig, rye, anu, rickhouse, john collins) but there's a twist. They're always playing some sexy pinup films in black & white on the projection system. so as you get more drunk, you find yourself staring into space as beautiful women of the 50s remove their clothing. naturally, that's not the only appeal to this place. I had a bartender by the name of "Paulie" who was terrific. I think I consumed 8 drinks in 3 hours but he was awesome. He recommended some terrific shots and cocktails and I didn't pay an arm and leg for the privilege. That's what it's about. I own 12+ bottles of liquor at my apartment so naturally I drink there to save money but 3 ounces of bols genever poured over ice with lemon was $8 and that's an amazing price considering the atmosphere was epic! Sure, I'm a bit forgiving also since the place it literally across the street from my office so a late night at the office quickly turns into a drunken night of good music and tasty drinks. Paulie was great, the crowd was small but awesome and the DJ rocked! I'm not one for huge crowds but I'll be back Mon-Wed to get my drink on and spend less than expected for a great set of drinks. Total spent was $30 and yes I'm drunk as I type this so it was money well spent. Visit Eve Lounge ASAP but not too soon cause I liked that I could even get a seat at the bar and meet some awesome people. *PS: they stock bols genever. It's an amazing Liquor and they had it! If you love Gin, please try it cause it's to die for!
by Elena Sirmans on Starbar has what you need. Eclectic music and people in a rock city neighborhood mixed with 3/4 alcohol. Everyone I've met at the Starbar is at the very least interesting and the friends I've brought with me have always had a good time. Although it is the only bar I've ever left at the end of the night where the cab driver asked me not to smoke in the car, when I wasn't smoking.
