Gatsby’s
There’s something slightly schizo and ultimately unsatisfying about a bar that tries to offer everything to everyone. Exhibit A: This Spring Street bar tries to pull off the pub, restaurant, and lounge atmospheres, excelling, sadly, at none of them. Its fire-engine red front is reminiscent of a British pub, although the theme is supposedly 1920s speakeasy. Inside, sports play on six plasma screens, but at the bar, they’re serving pomegranate martinis alongside pints. Make your way to the back, and…“Wait,” you ask, “did I black out again? Are we at a different bar now?” Nope. You’ve just hit the “lounge” section, where DJ Jazzy Mediocre is spinning tunes for your rump-shaking pleasure. Crowded only by virtue of its central bar-hopping location, there’s nothing particularly great about this Gatsby.

WORST PLACE EVER!

I would NEVER EVER in my life go back to this bar. A HUGE bouncer (with clearly nothing better to do then harass a group of girls) came up to us and started yelling (for no reason). When one of us told him we were leaving, he said, “Then leave” and then pushed my friend against the wall. He pushed her so hard that she has a scratch and a few bruises on her arm. My other friend came to our friend’s defense and pushed the HUGE bouncer off of her. The bouncer then proceeded to pick her up and drag her out of the bar (as if she could not walk). He did this with so much power that he hurt my friend’s ribs! My friends were so scared of the situation that they were shaking and crying. The manager did NOTHING to help us out with this situation (just stood there like a huge moron). The bouncers that were standing outside just smirked during this whole time (even when a young man that was not part of our group walked outside and said “I just saw a huge bouncer hit 2 girls!”). This was the most ridiculous thing that has ever happened (and I have lived in NYC for over 6 years). Clearly this bar hires the WORST BOUNCERS IN HISTORY and then when the BOUNCER ATTACKS GIRLS they let it be, as if it is normal protocol. As a young woman I was terrified of this man. I WILL NEVER EVER RETURN TO THIS BAR. WORST PLACE EVER!!!!
