Overview

The Planet Hollywood of the East Village bar scene, this Fall-out boy owned bar attracts packs of girls from the midwest who stick in tight groups sipping their drinks, clutching their purses, and keeping their eye peeled for Pete Wentz.
Any native New Yorker unlucky enough to walk into this Fallout Boy owned emo tourist destination will likely find themselves puzzling over why the average patron here is 15-20lbs chubbier than anywhere else in the East Village. It’s a striking phenomenon attributable in large part to the fact that peple who live in NYC just walk more than people who live in the rest of the country. We recommend demonstrating this by walking right back out again.
