We're not quite sure
who told New York bar owners that New Yorkers like cowboy stuff, but
there seems to be a ton of these redneck, roadside trash joints around
the city. This place goes so far as to have a ten-foot statue of Trigger
outside the bar. We highly doubt that Will Rogers would be caught
anywhere near this place, but the occasional biker will make his way
into the wood laden interior to shoot some pool or toss some darts.
The rest of the crowd is filled out by new college grads looking for
pitchers, some middle aged wanderers who are curios about darts, and
gangs of roving drunk guys just finishing up a long block of drinking
on Amsterdam. Get a booth by the front window, settle down with some
beers and stare at the yuppies sauntering by on their way to Sunday
brunch at Good Enough to Eat. Roomy and rustic, the Raccoon Lodge
is a good place to go when you don't want to put up with the UWS attitude
or constantly get bumped by some guy with a serious cologne fetish.
