Don't necessarily disagree with this, especially in the EV. I'm sure you've been to the down the hatch, 3 sheets, 13th step, off the wagon chain definitely fun for a night out but not really the best place to meet females that can hold a conversation or walk straight.

I've been to those cocktail places and they are too trendy for us. And I've done dates at two of them which are good for dates but not for people to go out to.
agreed, i only go on dates or when i have friends visiting.

I want good bars on Friday and Saturdays from 9 PM to 4 AM.
For lower key 'clubs' that are still fun on weekends i like
- affaire (4/B)
- penny farthing (13/3)
- von (bowery/bleeker)
- arlo & esme (unfortunately closed now)
- B-Bar
- phebes (older crowd, more after work)
all are in the EV the first three have downstairs that have good dancefloors and upstairs that are good for chatting
Also really enjoy LES for weekends, places i've been this year that i have had good times at:
- la caverna (rivington/essex)
- beauty & essex (essex/stanton - slightly older crowd)
- sweet & vicious (spring/bowery - delicious jar-garitas, nice outdoor area pretty relaxed atmosphere)
- arlene's grocery (stanton/Allen)
- back room (norfolk/delancy - who doesn't enjoy drinking out of teacups)
- the box (kind of burlesque can be a b*tch to get in without enough females)
- The delancey (delancey/clinton)
- fat baby (rivington/essex)
- max fish (ludlow/houston - lights always on, quiet but busy)
- R Bar (bowery/spring)
- Rockwood music hall (houston/allen great place for live music + delicious caramel apple martinis if you are comfortable enough with your sexuality!)
- hotel chantelle (delancey/ludlow)
Anyway those are just off the top of my head (had to look up some addresses) have you been to any, what are your thoughts?
