Manhattan

733 Washington St. · West Village
Still pouring
Burger joint by day turns to frat boy playground by night. Women dance on the bar in high heels and feel empowered. Men feed them shot after shot to remind them that real power is a function of body weight and liver fortitude.

153 1st Ave · East Village
Moved to 233 E. 14th St.
Kind of like a strip club without the stripping, except occasionally single women and couples will wander into a strip club for a thrill.
-
859 Washington St. · MeatPacking District
Closed
Tourists looking to score, drunk women dancing on the bar, batenders who trade flirtation for drinks, shots ordered by the dozen, and an occasional bared breast. Sounds awful right? The strange thing is we've really only ever had a good time here.
-
246 W. 14th St. · Chelsea
Closed; now Stash
Formerly the popular hip-hop and jazz club Nell's, then the flash in the pan club NA, and now Plumm a members, reservations VIP Plumm colored club backed by such NYC nighlife luminaries as old kid on the block Joey McIntyre.
-
55 W. 21st St. · Union Square/ Flatiron
A different business is licensed at this address: The Amber Room
-
57 Murray St. · TriBeCa
Closed; now Monk McGinn's
The kind of bar that lives or dies on the charisma and/or tits of its bartending staff. And it's very much alive and well.
Brooklyn
-
273 13th St. · South Slope
A different business is licensed at this address: Paddy's Of Park Slope
The stated aim of Lucky 13 is to provide a haven for everyone who feels outside of the mainstream. Thanks to $1 beers before 9pm and $2 beers there after it does this job with gusto.
Already closed by 2009

1843 1st Ave. · Upper East Side
