    HK struggles in the date spot arena but this place is a gem. If he can hang here, he's solid. Skee ball always and dueling piano bar Fridays.

    ‼️‼️BURGLARS - LADRONES‼️‼️The bartender asked me for a card to open an account, and later when I left the place they made me a second charge for more than doble. It’s a shame, the place is nice.

    Not the same spot it was when I first started visiting to New York. It's nothing like the old Bar 9. Boring, bar tender did not tend. Had one drink and left.
