Brotastic dive bar shenanigans.
Another stop during our random bar crawl through West Village. We have a couple of hours left to kill before heading back to work. The handy yelp search on the phone says this is within walking distance of the last bar we hit up, so here goes.
We weren't specifically searching for DTH, but managed to stumble upon this spot. A few steps down from the street and we enter this little sports dive. It's like the college party moved from the frat house and into the basement. Rowdy is putting it mildly, and in a fun (insert national TV ad beer name) kinda way. It's Saturday night, and Down The Hatch's bar is packed. Not fire marshal level jammed nuts-to-butts, but the bar area sure seemed like it. Maybe 4-5 people deep, but I don't think they're all wanting drinks. It's just that there's not much room or open seating.
We got some cheap beers, but no eats. We were on a mission to crawl this part of the city, not settle in any particular spot, although watching the drunken sh!t show develop is worth hanging around. Kinda bummed I didn't have an appetite because the bar bites looked good and the yelp approval rating on the snacks are trending positive.
If you're looking for intimate, fancy, or hipster, then this won't be your cup of organic loose leaf tea. If you're good to bro down, then grab some cold beverages, maybe some kitchen snacks to soak up the alcohol, and party on!
