Editorial Review for Hogs & Heifers – by Kara Zuaro
In Short
The buffalo heads mounted on the walls and vast collection of donated bras on display set the stage for scantily clad female bartenders who cuss, howl into megaphones along with the classic-rock jukebox and invite the ladies to dance with them on the bar. The small space seems authentically dirty, but the clientele--a mismatched crowd of smarmy businessmen, bachelorette revelers and a retired Hell's Angel or two--isn't as rough as the atmosphere.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoDon't take it personally when a bartender makes fun of your shoes and orders you to buy her a shot. It's all part of the act.

The last (and only) time I visited this place was about two years ago, and as I'm reading other reviews on Citysearch, I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. It just boggles my mind how the bartenders who work in this place can get away with treating customers the way they do. I was standing at the bar next to two quarters that SOMEONE ELSE had left as a tip for a drink, and the classless excuse for a bartender picked it up, looked at me, and yelled, "Fifty cents? You call that a f*cking tip?" and she THREW it at me!! Granted, this did happen two years ago and I have no idea if this woman still works there, but I get the feeling that all the women who work there have this attitude. I only recently started using Citysearch regularly, and this incident stood out in my mind as the worst bar experience I've ever had in this city, so I felt it was worth mentioning. In a city with so many bars with such polite and attentive bar staff, I can't believe that anyone would continue to go here, let alone pay a cover charge and stand on line outside. Maybe I missed something, but to me, a fun bar experience doesn't involve verbal abuse (especially for something I didn't even do). To anyone who considers himself or herself an adult, I would say avoid this place at all costs.
Pros: None
Cons: Rude wait staff, crowded, inexplicable cover charge, and line around the block

I went here for a bachelorette party last night and the waitresses were among the most grotesque, vile human beings I have ever encountered at a NYC bar. One waitress sported an unflattering white bikini top, really low-riding jeans, and big love handles. She repeatedly barked into a megaphone and then picked a fight with me for checking my cell phone in the bar! She said, "F*&^ your boyfriend, F*&^ your family, and get off your F*&^ing cell phone. I should kick you out of here." I am sorry, but she does not know my family situation (which is why I checked the phone), and, if she did, she may not have been so rude. Don't come here unless you hate yourself and the people you are with! It is torture!
