St Marks has stuff, but it's more East Asian restaurants these days, which isn't a bad thing. Between Barcade, that Irish pub, kenka, and the like. On a Saturday night, just chill on Stanton anywhere from Orchard to Ludlow. It's silly. Mr Purple, No Fun, Pianos, Pizza Beach, Slipper Room, Arlene's Grocery, Hair of the Dog, etc. I miss the cider bar, but things close and people move on. It's a sake bar now.

However, we can't beat Golden Gai in density with its 200 bars within about the same area. We have a better bar culture though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjuku_Golden_Gai

You'll probably see me at Antlers pretty often. Happy hour all night on Mondays.
Heading down towards this area tomorrow with a buddy for some catching up. We were thinking pianos, any other suggestions?

Pianos has a no single guy policy on Weekend nights, just a heads up. And the line gets super long at least on Friday and Saturday by 11PM if not earlier

Is that right? I never heard that. Probably when it was heavily German.

Everyone was a bootlegger back then. I heard stories about our great grandparents generation during prohibition times in Bushwick. Wild times. Especially around Bushwick and Ridgewood, being it was the beer capitol of the US prior to prohibition. They just took it underground. I still got fam making wine.

East Village/LES, Greenwich Village, SoHo, Williamsburg... I'd even throw in Astoria and Midtown.

Is that even legal or is that an unofficial policy?

I'm not sure, but it's a policy some hip hop bars/clubs have on weekend nights to keep the girl/guy ratio high. Pretty pretentious for what glorified dive bars, but nothing I can really do about it.

Pianos has been particularly bad lately, just read some yelp reviews from the last year.
