21 Bar is a hidden gem in Washington Heights.
With it's $9 beer and shot drink special all day everyday, you can have your choice from Budweiser, Heineken, Corona?, Presidente and a non-premium shot. The combination makes you question your choices almost right off-the-bat but allows you to relax and open-up to the welcoming atmosphere.
The Staff at 21 Bar are without question professional with their establishment. Management and Security interact with customers. A heavy, emphasis on heavy, staff of bartenders and performers greet you with smiles as the customer guided touch-screen juke box comes to life in the background. The ambiance of neon lights and song only adds to the energy of 21 Bar.
All beverages one expects at a full bar are there. No short-cuts or sell downs from the bartenders the entire night.
The crowd of customers was very mixed. From lawyers, to dancers and artists, and locals. In my estimate of customers, about a 5:1 ratio guys to gals.
On a side note, food IS offered in 21 Bar and an expanded menu is in the works.
21 Bar gets an easy 5/5. I was surprised to meet a Staff of good-hearted people , almost as surprised to see on my first visit on Columbus Day Monday that 21 Bar is not your conventional bar. Keyword: Performers.
Go check out 21 Bar! Take great care with those drink specials however. God Bless.
$20 hookah's ^^,
