Desert 5 Spot

The Best, Most Fun Bars in NYC Right Now - New York - The Infatuation

"If you’ve ever furiously searched for “bars with mechanical bulls NYC” (just us?), the hunt is over. Williamsburg’s Desert 5 Spot has one tucked away in the corner, in addition to bales of hay, wagon wheel chandeliers, and a dance floor where North Brooklynites in unblemished cowboy boots two-step to live music. Don’t think of this LA transplant as a bar. Think of it as a cavernous theme park, an entire corner of which is dedicated to Dolly Parton. The place is cheesy, in a fun way, and it’s the perfect spot to dip your toes into the city’s emerging country scene." - sonal shah, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
