With a location like this a bar/restaurant such as Jack's can aspire to serving quality food and keeping the prices down, and that's about it. Jack does a fine job on both accounts. If you're in a hotel in Times Square and feel like nipping out for a quick low key pint and a spot of grub Jack's is a solid choice.

This hotel bar and lounge isn't a bad option if you're in the area. The lounge isn't a scene, and the ambience crystal chandeliers, chalkboard walls, and couches with throws and pillows is comfortable enough if a bit of a style misfire.

Depending on which definition of cool you subscribe too, the Whiskey either approaches the pinacle or falls far short. The design team was top notch - everything shimmers or shines or glows. The crowd looks great. The dress code is strictly enforced. Hair wax is mandatory for men, women must either support their bosoms in a water bra or wear no bra at all. However, the fault line appears when you realize that the bar and its patrons are all trying very, very hard. And isn't that by definition the antithesis of cool?

If ever (god forbid) a series of circumstances conspire so that you find yourself in Times Square and also really quite totally stoned, than this dingey basement piano bar is so bad it just might be a really good time. Order a Coke and zone out as you watch the drunken businessmen sing along to Frank Sinatra. Otherwise under pretty much all other circumstances it's best avoided.
