"If you’ve ever furiously searched for “bars with mechanical bulls NYC” (just us?), the search is over. Williamsburg’s Desert 5 Spot has arrived, and in addition to a real, functioning fake bull, there are bales of hay, wagon wheel chandeliers, and a stage in the back where you can listen to live music and sit on a velour couch with a group. There’s also a gallery wall of Dolly Parton photos, which you can enjoy while you sip on a glass of ranch water. It’s cheesy, in a fun way.
