In New York City, things can get old pretty fast. So we've taken it upon ourselves to revamp last year's list of the most obnoxious Wall Street bars. Several have since closed, but many are still kicking and as annoying as ever.
Frequented by financiers, these Manhattan bars are loud, rowdy, and ridiculous. If you're into sweaty crowds, flashing lights, or absurd conversations, it's time to scope some of these out.
Otherwise, we've done the rounds on these bars so you don't have to. You're welcome.
If we left out any of your favorites, let us know in the comments!
230 Fifth
Location: 230 5th Ave, Gramercy
Vibe: Probably the biggest draw about 230 Fifth is that you're going to get a great Instagram photo of the Empire State Building. It's a huge rooftop space that can service a large crowd. The later it gets, the more packed this place gets.
Popular Days: Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Popular Drinks: Raspberry mojitos "in the summer".
Overheard: "Oh my gawd, the Empire State building is so beeaaauuuutiful."
Turtle Bay
Location: 987 2nd Ave, Midtown
Vibe: Turtle Bay is your "typical bar" with beer chuggers, cheerleader look-alikes, and even a handful of Mets fans watching games on the TVs. The front section is supersaturated with summer interns and young professionals. People over the age of 25 should seriously consider the pros and cons before they enter.
Popular Days: Thursday
Popular Drinks: Beer
Overheard: "Pound it dude! 3... 2... 1... " *erupts in laughter*
Irish Punt
Location: 40 Exchange Place, Financial District
Vibe: The dim Irish bar is more calm during the summer, but come August and September, the bar is filled with finance guys that could have come straight out of "The Wolf of Wall Street."
Popular Days: Friday, Saturday
Popular Drinks: Skittle bombs
Overheard: "Shots! Shots! Shots!"
