Amazing bands at this bar on Bleecker!

by mist75

Went barhopping last week and ended up seeing these really good bands at Kenny's Castaways. Ifyou want to rock out (also there were a bunch of cute guys hanging out) go there on Wednesday, I think the same acts are plaYING. Also, everybody in there were partying like hell, it was almost like aprivate party and NO cover charge! I will definitely be back this week!

  • Pros: Live music, great crowd, cute bartenders,cute guys in bands!!!
  • Cons: Nothing

Best Bar in Manhattan??

by pchc_lx

I've never had a bad experience here. The drinks are cheap, the bartenders are cute girls / enormously entertaining Irish men, and the bands always sound incredible. The whole place reeks of an honest legitimacy hard to find in Manhattan these days. It's a great place to meet girls or guys, as there are always semi-intoxicated single people stumbling around in here, looking for love. The crowd is never snobby, pretentious or rude - just good people having a good time; it's a very welcoming and comfortable hangout. Definitely worth mentioning was the super hot redheaded waitress (legal?), who deserves to be tipped very well. Did I mention the sound was phenomenal?

  • Pros: Good Sound, Good Drinks, Bountiful Cleavage
  • Cons: Only open 7 days a week...

Worth A Trip on the PATH Train

by heysuess

The other night my boys decided to do the Bleecker Street bar hop like we try to do once a week. We made the usual stops but were drawn into Kenny's by the music we heard when we walked by. The drinks were cheap and we drank our fill of jager-bombs and rocked out. Kudos on the sassy bartenders and the hot redhead barely-legal looking waitresses. We've been back as much we can as it's a short stumble to the PATH train on 9th Street. I'd recomend sitting down and getting your drinks sent to you, so you can the bands better.
