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.

tourist trap with a big cover

Many longtime New Yorker's can't believe that this once free bridge-and-tunnel "dance bar" favorite now often charges the kind of hefty cover that one expects to pay at a full-fledged club. Still, Splash (aka SPNY) still manages to pack them in. I do have to credit them with keeping the space fresh with massive renovations every few years. The most recent round brought urinals that face a translucent wall overlooking the downstairs bar...quite naughty!
