Gowanus is now home to a 700 m2 bar that specializes in axe throwing. Located on 622 DeGraw St., Kick Axe opened to the public on December 15, offering beer, wine and malt beverages inside a rustic, cabin-like setting. Whether you choose to yield a weapon or down a drink, it’s the ideal location to vent out your frustrations.

Historic NYC Bars
The Bridge Café, a wood-frame building erected in 1794 in the South Street Seaport, sits in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge even though it had already been in business for almost ninety years when the bridge was finished. In addition, when it was first built, before massive land-fill projects dramatically expanded the surface area of Lower Manhattan, the East River actually came up to the structure’s foundation.

Roof Bars
Manhattan’s rooftop bar season unofficially kicked off, with more than 25 high-altitude places in the city where the air is fresh, the views are (often) stunning, and the drinks are (almost always) served in lightweight plastic, presumably to save pedestrians far below from potential injury, if not cranberry juice stains.
Polk Gulch
Some folk feel that the cleanup of the “TenderNob” district has killed the few good seedy bars left. The Hemlock Tavern replaced the Giraffe, Reflections is now Vertigo, and the Polk Gulch Saloon is now Lush Lounge. But it doesn’t take much of a walk to see that nothing has changed. They are all the same dark places. They’re all lit only by red bulbs that make it hard to focus, and the stoner on stage can still get 4 bars into the his song before realizing he’s in the wrong key.
