bOb:
This pick-up spot sits on a semi-quiet street not clogged with the nearby throngs of swarming Lower East Side bar-hoppers. Still, plenty of people find their way to the sweaty parties held inside bOb’s itty-bitty confines. Hip-hop DJs spin nightly, sometimes venturing into neighboring genres like reggaeton. Though not technically a dance club, the seating arrangement creates a seductive vacuum in the center of the floor. If you just want to chill, show up early and dig the art installations; stay late and prepare yourself for the meat market. Guys may have some trouble getting through the door on weekends, a measure to help control the male-female ratio and keep bOb from turning into a sausage party.
I came to bOb on Friday, July 18 @ 7:30pm because I wanted to check the place out and decide if I want to have my party there!! Maaan, I ended up leaving at 2:00 in the morning!!! The music from the time I stepped into the venue was on point especially. They played R&B/reggae/Hip-hop/Old skool rap r&b classics. They even mixed in some Madonna and Journey in there!! Although the place was small, it wasn't uncomfortable and I am a big fan of original brick walls and they got'em. The drinks range from $6-$10 dollars, the crow was diverse and nice looking, people came into the bar DANCING!! Everyone was there to have a great time! There wasn't a bathroom line and there was enough seating because everyone was UP dancing!! One of the highlights was when Fatman Scoop (HOT 97 on-air personality) was their just relaxing and did an impromptu "performance" LOVED IT!!! Anyway I will be having my birthday there next week and I looking forward to it!!
