Splash (Closed Permanently) Formerly: SBNY

(229 Ratings)
CLOSING AUGUST 10TH
Most out-of-towners consider this a must-stop when in NYC. Large video screens blare dance remixes, hot bartenders/waiters serve you strong drinks, and offer weekly themed party nights (like Thursday's Campus party for the college boys, bring your college ID for free admission) with dancing, go-gos and more. Too much for you? Then stop in their lounge downstairs. Oh, and make sure you go to the bathroom (or is that the lounge?). Either way it's worth the trip.


Address
50 W 17Th St
New York, NY 10011

Near: Between 5th & 6th Ave.

WOW, what a cool place

My boyfriend and I were in town for the weekend and stopped in for our first time. I thought the cover was a bit excessive but once we saw the hot bartenders in their underwear we quickly forgot about that!! The music was thumping and the light show was cool. We had a great time and plan to come back on our next visit!! Fun place, a little naughty but not sleazy!! Enjoy!

What's the name of that place?

Oh Yeah, I guess it's Splash again.. Who can keep up? It is nice now, though. I do like the setup. The cocktail waiters are super nice.. Great place to meet up with friends.

Going Downhill

AKA "SBNY" (not SPNY) It has always been a "tourist bar", but I have enjoyed it. The last few times, however, the cover charge was $15 to $20 and there was NOTHING to warrant it! The music is consistently bland... basically the same beat for hours (the kind that sort of forces you to just step-touch-step-touch from side to side). The light show is run of the mill as well. Cover at The Roxy is only slightly higher, and there is NO comparison! I have vowed never to go back to SBNY unless I hear some massive changes have taken place.
