The bar on Sherkin Island

platialUser:bacchus — 2007-09-06 16:02:47.131729+00:00

Paintings like these have their own truth - an accuracy that cameras can't always capture. Elements are simplified, or removed, for the sake of the composition. To the painter, it's only the painting that matters. The bar may never have looked like this: it certainly doesn't now.
We have walked and kayaked around all the 'Carbery's 100 Isles' of Roaringwater Bay, and camped out on many: in good weather it's the most beautiful place on earth.

Zipper Factory

platialUser:tburke — 2007-04-21 15:28:19.272714+00:00

The ZFT's a two-story, Vaudeville-ish pub attached to the Zipper Theater, an off-Broadway venue with audience seating pulled from old cars, buses, and shorter buses. Walk past the front bar, and you're in an expansive dining hangar that serves up chow inspired by the 'hood's pre-junkie, E. European population: Reuben sandwiches, veal schnitzel, and smoked/cured meats homemade by the chef (a kielbasa-heavy hobby that's made him the darling of SlavDate.com).

The Greenroom Before Seeing Porcupine Tree

platialUser:ourfounder — 2007-05-09 11:48:59.095078+00:00

One review of The Greenroom I saw somewhere on the net said that the only reason to go there was for cheap beer and to get into the concert short line. At The Showbox, if you go and have drinks at the Greenroom before a show, they close off the bar and let you get in first. I met up with my friend John Bruels before seeing Porcupine Tree featuring Richard Barbieri, which I wasn't expecting. I didn't even know he was in the band. They were fairly good. One guy after the show was pretty tweaked and said the venue didn't do them justice. I wouldn't know. I thought several of their songs were really great until the unnecessarily rocked. There were a few songs they did that were stunning and of them some necessarily rocked. But all in all, I thought they'd build a great mood and then all of the sudden unnecessarily rock. Which I found disconcerting. The Greenroom serves a good hamburger and has the ambiance of a moldy shoebox.

Tynska Literarni Kavarna

platialUser:finkster — 2007-04-07 15:00:54.406525+00:00

Tynska 6 right off of Old Town Square behind "Cinderella's Castle" Tyn church. OK, good luck finding this place, but if you do! Seriously though, when you're in the square, immediately on the left (north) side of the church, you'll find Tynska street under one of the archways. About 100 yards up Tynska (you'll go through a very small square first), you'll find an incredibly hidden door at Tynska 6, housing the best Bohemian cafe in a little cavern right behind the church. Better yet, beer is about 23 Koruna or $1. You'll find all sorts of interesting people and students in this "literary cavern".

Waterfront Bar & Grill

platialUser:uwstoutcast — 2008-07-23 17:27:50.711414+00:00

The Waterfront Bar & Grill is known for tasty Bloody Mary's, Wednesday night buffalo wings and great entertainment. A great place to check out bands on Thursday nights, sometimes crowds can reach over 100 people. It is the 'unofficial' yet 'official' home of the UW-Stout water-ski team! They have an amazing view of Lake Menomin off their very spacious back deck, including stairs leading right down to the dock!

Flatiron Lounge

MARTINI lovers have had a tough decade; in 1998, William Grimes of The Times wrote that concoctions like the “chocolate martini” had driven a drink that used to be as simple as gin and vermouth, shaken or stirred, with olives or a twist, into the “late-Elvis phase” of its career. “The bars of the United States are groaning under the weight of horrible martinis,” he wrote. And that was even before the apple-tini stormed New York. Once that green and sickly-sweet cocktail became a standard, you could almost hear the public address announcer: “The martini has left the building.” Luckily, its ingredients stayed in the building. And for those travelers who think a stiff martini is the perfect pairing for a weekend in the city, you won’t have to look far. These days, you can get martinis made with care in two different kinds of New York bars: the old-school spaces, where it feels like having anything but a martini (or maybe a Manhattan) is just wrong; and at the new generation of cocktail bars, where the entrance is often hidden, the mixers are fresh-squeezed, bitters are back and every drink is made with almost appalling care by bartenders who would rather shake up drinks than chat up customers. There, a martini is a good test of the staff. They usually pass. Witness the recent dialogue between a cocktail waitress and a customer at the Flatiron Lounge, one of the standard-bearers of the new-wave New York cocktail. “I’d like a martini. Can you suggest an interesting gin?” “Do you like Hendrick’s?” (Slight pause.) “Yes.” “Have you tried Hendrick’s?” “No.” Gin amateur, totally (if politely) busted. The waitress continued. “It’s lighter, with cucumber tones. We suggest it with a cucumber instead of olives or a twist.” Done. And very refreshing. Only problem: the Flatiron can get packed, and packed bars are not conducive to martini-sipping. But be careful what you wish for: controlled entry can guarantee elbow room but can also force long waits in lines that range from annoying to extremely annoying. Topping the list of annoyance two Saturdays ago around 11 p.m. was the line outside Little Branch in the West Village, a faux speakeasy that in this case is identified with nothing more than a subtle plaque affixed to the door. As suspiciously good-looking clients who were “meeting someone who already had a table” flowed in, the line stagnated, and many people wandered off into the night. But once you’re downstairs in the quirkily shaped basement space, you see the point. The bar is pleasantly crowded but not at all intolerable; the bartenders take things seriously back there, and — could it be? — those people “who already had a table” seem to have met friends who already had a table. Here the martinis are stirred unless you ask for shaken, with a bit of vermouth unless you ask for more, and with hand-cracked ice standard. The hand-cracked part in most settings would seem unseemly, but as the bartenders take a chunk of ice and batter it against their bare palm with a cocktail spoon, it seems an odd luxury (and surely you just missed the precracking Purell application). The only problem is that everyone is waltzing around the place with drinks (Is that caramelized ginger? Is that fresh cream?) so cool-looking that you might be tempted to stray. Keeping a martini cold is serious business, and different spots have different approaches. One is to freeze the heck out of just about everything that comes into contact with it, like at Pegu Club, another high-end cocktail standard. Both the stirring pitcher and the glass itself come frosted, and the ice, cracked in the hands of the bartender, is dumped on top of the gin, then stirred, and chills things for a bit longer than you might expect. The other approach to keeping things cold is taken by Death & Company, another of the subtly marked, Prohibition-inspired spots where crowd numbers are tightly controlled, resulting in an unusual scene for a popular New York bar: everyone gets a seat. (Here, they take your cellphone number and call you when they’re ready.) To give you more time with your cold martini, whatever doesn’t fit in your glass goes into a iced mini-carafe at its side. Fewer lines, older crowds and reduced frills are what you’ll find at the more old-school spots, often in the grand hotels. The King Cole room at the St. Regis off Fifth Avenue charges a whopping $18 for a martini, but that includes mahogany paneling and a view of Maxfield Parrish’s “Old King Cole” mural. But it is a whopping size as well, and you’ll need to down it fast, before it gets warm — no carafe here. Bemelmans, another old-school bar at the Carlyle Hotel on the Upper East Side, takes care of the problem by serving in a smaller glass and adding an iced carafe with the leftovers. There’s live music (with cover after 9:30), murals by Ludwig Bemelmans on the walls, and bartenders in red vests who are jokey in safely salty ways (“Are these seats taken?” ask two men striding up to the bar. “Yes, by two hot girls coming soon.” Ha.) It’s the sort of place where if you order a Diet Coke, they bring it in an eight-ounce glass bottle and pour it over ice in a way that appears as minimally unclassy as possible. In some quarters, the barman might be tempted to pour it through a strainer into a conical, stemmed glass and call it a DietCokeatini.
