Review content:
The bar is pretty generic and poorly designed. It's long and narrow so when it gets crowded it gets awkward quickly to move around. Bathrooms are in between the private party room so to get through you have to get by a bunch of people in line to use the bathroom. Huh? Moronic design.
What put me over the edge with this spot was that I was asked to leave because I was drinking water at the bar. I am not kidding! Not only did the bartender, Jimmy do a poor job when I was ordering alcoholic drinks (slow, bad mix, rude), but when I ordered two glasses of water for myself and a friend I took one sip and Jimmy says, "could you get away from my bar?" I looked at him puzzled, wondering if I heard him right and said "I'm sorry, what?" Then without hesitation he points to a bouncer and points to me. I was no longer welcome seemingly because I wasn't ordering drinks he could charge me for and I was taking up valuable space at his bar. The bouncer was incredibly nice and noticeably confused as well as to why I was being asked to leave. Saddest part of this story is I was there with a party of about 20 people who left with me when they heard what happened and were disgusted. Jimmy's stupid mistake cost him a lot more business then just one person drinking water who he thought he'd kick out quietly.
This was certainly a first for me in my bar going experiences. Maybe Jimmy had a bad day? Maybe he confused me with someone else? I understand he is there to make money and I at the time wasn't ordering expensive cocktails, but this was unethical. I will NEVER go there again and will be surprised if this place lasts even 12 months. There are a million better bars in the area. Don't waste your time at this dump. Instead, check out Bowery Poetry Club across the street, B Bar where they sometimes show movies and if you want to dance Happy Ending on Houston. I hope my review sheds some light on this place and saves you the time of finding out for yourself why BE is worthless!
Pros: Near Gemma which is a fantastic restaurant.
Cons: Bad drinks, rude bartender, bad design, gets crowded easily, bathrooms in middle of dance floor?
