Duff's:
Full of Goth kitsch like skulls, baby doll heads, and weapons, Duff’s is for the metal enthusiast who enjoys a $1 PBR at happy hour while wondering if Spencer Gifts ran out of “South Park” plush figures thanks to the bar’s décor. On an undeveloped, industrial-looking corner near the East River, Duff’s is actually a replanted version of hearse-driving owner Jimmy Duff’s former Hell’s Kitchen haunt, Bellevue Bar. If you didn’t know the place, don’t worry—the groupies won’t use you as a human sacrifice to the heavy metal demons. The Stanley Kubrick meets Rob Zombie meets East Village Halloween store bar has a secretly friendly side, and the outdoor section offers plenty of space—plus a porto-potty—for any respite you might need.
