Seedy and dirty and just creepy

Myself, my boyfriend and a friend stumbled across this place by accident, and it was dire. The door man was cheerful and happy, but once past him it took a turn into shit-ville. Really guys, considering your on that street anyway, choose somewhere else to go. There are a million other places less than 5 minutes from you. Yuk yuk yuk.

Unless you are a local, forget it.

The rudest, and slowest bartenders I have ever encountered. Waited for 20 minutes to served because the bartender was talking to 'a buddy'. NY is big on tourism, if you are rude tot eh tourists, word gets out about it. Remember that next time you count your tips.

Hot Place, Hot men

The Rawhide is an old standby but there's nothing shabby about it. There's a definite neighborhood feel to it, but the guys are friendly and the strippers are hot and close enough to make it worth a visit.
