Frommer's Review
Here's New York's oldest -- and finest -- honky-tonk. Hike up your Wranglers and head those Fryes inside, where you'll find longhorns on the walls, peanut shells underfoot, first-class margaritas at the bar, and Tex-Mex on the menu. But this place is really about the music: urban-tinged country, foot-stompin' bluegrass, swinging rockabilly, Southern-flavored rock. Bigger names, such as Brian Setzer, and up-and-comers on the tour circuit, such as Hank Williams III, occasionally grace the stage, but regular acts such as the Dixieland Swingers, the Flying Neutrinos, cowpunk goddess Rosie Flores, and the good-time BBQ Bob and the Spareribs usually supply free music, keeping the urban cowboys plenty happy. A 10-gallon hat full o' fun. It's happy hour until 7pm; the music starts around 10pm nightly and goes till at least 3am.
