We guess college students
need a place to watch sports too. Of course it's not as if NYU students
are going to be cheering on the Violets
on ESPN or anything.
We came here for happy hour in the middle of the week and found the
patrons sleepy and the bar itself even sleepier. There may have been
a Mets game on or something, but that holds about as much interest
for Mr. Hipster as Jennifer
Garner for a blind castrato. The darkness of the place helped
with the drowsy atmosphere and the dark wood sucked whatever life
was left in the place out of it like a black hole. The beer signs
in the front window and the big cigarette barrel outside the front
door really class the place up. We certainly didn't have a bad time
here, but it's hard to recommend a plus with absolutely no personality
or soul. It was mellow, it was somewhat friendly and we didn't catch
herpes or anything from the barstools. I guess we'll just have to
imagine what it would be like if there was a good sporting event on
and a couple people there who gave a damn. [MF] |
