Editorial Review

Formerly known as "Cheap Shots" (before an underage drinking bust-up), this East Village dive bar serves $5 beer-shot combos, air hockey, and a night you won't remember. Expect high security at this $2 PBR joint; two bouncers scan your ID and a notice greets you at the door, with the warning "You will be carded. No exceptions."Once in, watch ESPN on a dingy TV, sing along to Sweet Home Alabama with old geezers, and wonder why you didn't go to Coyote Ugly instead.
