Let's start off by
saying that Puck Fair is not for the faint of heart. It's not scary
or seedy or anything, but gets so crowded on weekends that some have
dubbed this "one of the most annoying fuckin' places I've ever had
the displeasure of being shoved around in." While we certainly wouldn't
go that far, we would warn against coming here if you're in the least
bit stodgy and/or claustrophobic, anti-social, bunion-laden, small-bladdered,
weak of heart or just pussy-ish. Not being any of these, Mr. Hipster
actually enjoys Puck Fair's soaring ceilings, winding nooks and crannies
and overall friendly atmosphere. The bartenders are quick with a drink
but a little heavy-handed with the volume on the stereo. When not
packed, this place can be quite enjoyable and humane. The patrons
are generally young, attractive and trendy--but not in a SoHo way--and
the beer flows freely from several classy, brass taps. Let the nay-sayers
have their way; TPK is going to continue to patronize this joint as
long as there is a joint to patronize. [MF]
