Rawhide Bar and Fun
Rawhide, 212 8th Ave., at W. 21st Street. I had visited this bar years ago…and I have to say, it is better than ever before. A cool antique motorcycle hangs from ceiling in the rear, and the smell of leather and beer as you walk in the door is absolutely intoxicating. There was a mixed-age, masculine crowd and HOT bartenders. There were 2 strippers that knew how to move, and a third not so much, but still nice eye candy. Great drink prices, and a great bar even if it is somewhat tiny. 5 WOOFS
Small bar
We descended on NYC, Dec. 16, 2011 (Friday). Found this place easy around midnight. Light crowd. Good drinks. Nice prices. Pretty cruisy. Motorcycle/light over the pool table was cool! Gogo was okay. I didn;t see any real leather other than the winter coats and some belts. Too many Honda Civics parked in front. (JK)... but we were disappointed that this is called a leather/Levi bar. Almost everyone was wearing Levis (or similar) no leather. We had one drink and left. Oh, and the music was way too low (volume) so it seemed like a glorified Happy Hour. Just sayin.
A GENUINE CLASSIC PLACE
I am surprised to see so much negativity but hey, it's New Yawk! I always stop here when I am in the area. House drinks are good, decent music. The crowd is very mixed, I've never had a problem with the barkeeps. Yes, it is dark, it's a leather bar, hunney, but all types show, and it can get very cruisey at times. I advise getting there after 10 PM. Ciao!
