The Scene
Located right off Broadway in the outskirts of Soho, Gatsby's is a destination spot for post-frat boy weekend partyers who, after numerous shots and pints, spill out onto the street and scream hello to anyone with breasts. The F. Scott Fitzgerald literary reference is all but lost on this place, which, in appearance and vibe, is more akin to the Hard Rock Cafe than an intellectual salon.
The Draw
The well-scrubbed interior is somewhat romantically decorated with candles and soft, cozy seating that surrounds the bar area. Although the weekends can be a bit over-the-top, the bar's a fine place for a relatively private, quiet, midweek afternoon drink. The bartenders display ample amounts of cleavage and prepare mixed drinks with the precision of a blind man, but stick with the great beer selection and you will leave with a much more pleasant buzz.

This bar attracts the most vile crowd. The bar tenders don't seem to cut people off, seeing as the patrons leave the bar shouting and fighting. Perhaps the bathroom is not working, seeing as the patrons feel the need to relieve themselves on the doors of the apartment buildings in the area. The crowd that goes there is the beer-bellied 24-45 year-old who never got over their frat days. It seems that there is even a dress code for the men: a big, sweaty, blue and white striped shirt that is untucked, ill fitting boot-cut jeans, and boat shoes with no socks. There are very rarely any girls in there, perhaps this is because females might get in the way of all the sweaty bro-hugs.

Was brought to the bar by a friend who lived around the corner on a sat night. Bar was fairly crowded with a mix of locals and a young to mid 20's crowd. It was easy to get a drink and there was ample room to either sit at a table or stand. Good music and I'd say the ratio of guys to girls was 1:1. Would go again

Awesome Place! We were in New York City for the weekend and wanted to go for a few drinks to catch up on the Olympics. The food was pretty good and they have a very extensive selection of beers to choose from. Our bartender Danielle was great. Even though she was busy, it didn't keep her from attending well to our needs. The staff was extremely fast and friendly. At some point during the night the DJ started playing great music, some which included songs from the 80's and 90's. Great Mix!!! We ended up staying there all night. Gatsby's is the place to be!
