XR Bar
Either XR Bar is a front for some sort of numbers racket—or else the power of some divine force has kept this place in business. XR is a small, well-maintained corner hangout, with so much light it seems truly meant to be a café (both of the street-facing walls teem with long windows that are flung open in nice weather); the problem is that no one ever seems to go in. The non-descript atmosphere and generic hip-hop, reggae, and soul music selection that’s played a little too loudly here would be better suited for a larger space that encourages dancing and excessive macking. There’s truly nothing memorable about this neighborhood bar, but maybe its lifeline is the locals who are sick of overcrowded West Village drinkeries. Go figure.

I love this bar

I don't know what kind of drinks this reviewer was having when they formed this opinion. I have been going to XR for some time and I find the atmosphere and ambience extremely nice. I have no problem with the music they play and the staff are all extremely nice and good at their jobs.Its a great place to hang out, especially when the windows are open, and its a good afterwork drinks spot - I also don't understand the reference to it being a pick up spot - so I stay ignore this review, stop in and review for yourself.
