The Scene
Get past the name and the occasional doorman to find a Chelsea bar with a warm rock-and-roll vibe. If the band (or the buzz for drop-in performances) is good, the red-washed interior fills with music execs, indie hipsters and fresh-faced groupies. Chances of catching a celeb at the next banquette are high, given that Velvet Revolver bandmates Scott Weiland and Duff McKagan and Fuel vocalist Brett Scallions are partners in the venture.
The Draw
The room comes alive late at night, when bands take to the intimate circular stage. The tables and red banquettes lining the wall fill quickly, meaning a standing-room-only crowd dominates during performances. A crisp sound system balances the music across the long room and delivers the required punch. True rockers stick with Bud, as the mixed drinks, though strong, aren't cheap. Early evenings, the flat-screen TVs show a variety of sports.

I went to Snitch for New Years. It was so much fun. They have great drink specials. The music was a ton of fun, including all the good Rock songs from the 80's. The bartenders were knowledgable and friendly. The space was not too big and not too small. There are tables to sit at but certain nights of the week there is a drink minimum to sit there. If you like rock this is a great place to go.

There?s nothing rock n roll about trendy mini clubs opening all over the place, requiring bottle service and making people wait on lines while the bar is empty. The idea behind Snitch was cool, but when you have douchebagz running it like some trendy club for old people and tourists buying bottles, it loses its appeal.

What happened to this place? Scott and Amber is what happened. Promoters RUINED this place. Not that it had much going for it... Jon, (the scummiest knucklehead of 1999"?? Sad. This is what happens when the (lamest) inmates run the asylum. Anyway, sad. forget it. Bad bands et al. Sorry kids. CBGB's is CLOSED
