Bachlorette Party

Can anyone suggest some good clubs & bars to go to in the city for a bachlorette party?

Polyesthers is so much fun
Great music also

Here's some I got on line for you:

Comedy Cellar
117 Macdougal St
New York, NY 10012
212-254-3480

Reminiscent of 1960s Greenwich Village, the Comedy Cellar is the coolest comedy venue in town, and the Olive Tree Café upstairs boasts some of the best Mediterranean food in the city. This club is immensely popular with New York University students, and the comics here routinely perform to an appreciative, sell-out audience. Catch the show or just hang out with the comics at the bar upstairs, soaking up the considerable atmosphere and waiting for the occasional Jerry Seinfeld spotting. -–Becky Cozine


Comic Strip Live (I've gone here so many times, its awesome. We always get a seat in the front and one night Dave Chapelle showed up and we had a blast with him on stage)
1568 2nd Ave.
New York, NY 10028
212-861-9386

Known as the most diversely booked club in New York City, the Comic Strip has been in operation since 1975 and has launched the careers of all of the successful comics whose headshots line the walls of the bar. Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday enjoy an array of professional comics performing five-minute sets. Friday and Saturday are headlining nights, with Letterman/Leno quality comics spotlighting twenty minutes of their best material. Starla Webb hosts amateur night on Monday nights, a ritual famous among young comics as the only open audition in New York. Arguably the best club in New York City

Shine
285 W. Broadway
New York, NY 10021
212-941-0900

You've always loved circuses, strippers and booze, but now you can enjoy them simultaneously without getting hauled to jail. Swarms of beautiful (barely), black-clad club kids sip cocktails, cuddle on couches and play with giant pillows in this upscale club-cum-cabaret-cum- carnival. Meanwhile, a parade of strippers, sword- swallowers and drag queens strut their stuff on the center stage. As if that wasn't enough to keep you entertained, Shine recently obtained a coveted cabaret license, which means that dancing is legal and the parties are even more fun -- not to mention more frenetic -- than before. Call ahead on any given night to see who's spinning

13
35 E 13th St Fl 2
New York, NY 10003
212-979-6677

Hanging out in this mod, multi-colored, oh-so-swank nightclub will make you feel like you've stumbled into a James Bond movie (circa Connery, of course). Sip one of the expertly-mixed cocktails (we don't know if they're shaken or stirred, but that's not the point -- we're describing atmosphere, here); dance close with a suave stranger on the teeny-tiny dance floor; or simply lounge on one of the oversized banquettes and look mysterious. The crowd tends toward the NYU, post-college scenester types, so more than a few backpacks mix with the shark skin suits. You only got one life to live, so live it lush, baby.

Luna Lounge
171 Ludlow St.
New York, NY 10002
212-260-2323

On the same street as Max Fish and across from the cafe of the same name, this lounge manages to be cool without pushing it. Coffee, periodicals and light snacks up front; a cozy back room accommodates movie nights on Mondays, and singers behind the bar on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Sapphire Lounge
249 Eldridge St.
New York, NY 10002
212-777-5153

This is where neighborhood young’uns don the flash and come to shake booty, get grooves on, etc. A 'club experience' in miniature, small, boxy Sapphire satisfies the dancing needs of locals without the trip to the West Side. Standard R&B, hip-hop and other dance music provides the background for women showing their assets and the men looking to invest. Nothing horrible, nothing special. But, oh, the drinks are cheap with $4 scotch and $2.50 Rolling Rock.

Kenny's Castaways
157 Bleecker Street
New York, NY 10012
212-473-9870

Bob Dylan, Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors all started here. Basically an Irish bar in the heart of the Village's touristy section, Kenny's real appeal comes from the bands it schedules. The crowd is young and fun if somewhat touristy. Cover charge.

Vudu Lounge
1487 1st Ave
New York, NY 10021
212-249-9540

Is there life after Soho? In the case of Vudu Lounge, the answer appears to be affirmative. After bowing out of the ultra-competitive downtown scene, this little-nightspot-that-could has replanted itself in a somewhat improbable clubland destination: The Upper East Side. So far, the young and velvet rope-prone seem to be willing to hop on the 6 and make the trek… at least until the newness wears off. The vibe is total South Beach, with a hot-to-trot staff and a hard-partying, 'let’s get freaky' clientele. Rufus McCobb spins classic hip-hop and R&B on Friday nights, and Beau Parada spins house and techno on Saturdays. Thursdays draw a slightly more mature set, with DJ Hugo providing a crowd-pleasing soundtrack of Top 40 tunes. Drinks range from $5-$8, and the $15 cover charge is nixed if you show up before 10PM. So put on your most revealing tank top and get on the 6. Uptown, this time.

Roxy
515 West 18th Street
New York, NY 10011
212-645-5156

One of New York City's few remaining dance palaces, Roxy is the size of an airport hangar, powered by a state-of-the-art sound system and glittering with strobes, mirrors, and lasers. The main room features two circular bars, a pavilion-like lounge area equipped with cozy couches, tables, and mismatched vintage lamps, and a sunken dance floor built to accommodate hundreds of revelers. Driving house beats generally rule the main area, while '80s favorites, hip-hop, and pop hits entertain on the second-floor mezzanine. Nooks and crannies abound, giving returning party people plenty to explore. Big and beautiful, Roxy hosts New York City's only roller-disco on Wednesday nights, and the biggest gay party in town on Saturdays -- as well as concerts and one-night-only special events throughout the year.

Exit
610 W. 56th St.
New York, NY 10019
212-582-8282

Boasting more than 40,000 square feet, Exit isn't your typical dance club. The entry foyer features an art gallery of new and promising artists, the floors are concrete and one of the bars is made of steel. Three floors, five bars and three VIP rooms make for plenty of environments for the serious clubgoer to enjoy. High ceilings and balconies provide views of the 42-foot stage. Visit the three VIP rooms on the top level: the Blue Room is everything blue, the Jungle Room features exotic leopard patterns, and the Living Room Loft is an inviting chamber that looks just like a modern-day living room, complete with a television, comfy couches and a fireplace.

Angel
174 Orchard St.
New York, NY 10002
212-780-0313

Angel is your typical Orchard Street storefront space (which probably sold socks, underwear or other specific item of apparel previously). But people don't do much underwear buying anymore around here; booze seems to be the merchandise of choice. Inside, the first things to notice are three large reflective disks that sit above the bar, which although striking, seem a bit unnecessary. The rest of the decor is richer, with high-backed banquettes along one wall, and a high mezzanine, which is a quaint little parlor with a VIP feel, providing an opera-box view of the bar below. Like many of the bars on street, there isn't much going for it other than comfortable seating and a DJ, but Angel tends to draw fewer locals, finding itself empty on weekdays and brimming on weekends. It hasn't quite found its identity yet, but it suffices when you need a pleasant spot to park your group

Cornelia Street Café
29 Cornelia Street
New York, NY 10014
212-989-9318

If you didn't know where you were going, you'd never know that beneath the bright and airy space of the Cornelia Street Cafe there's a secret bar. Ask the servers 'Where's the bar at?' and they'll point you downstairs toward the restrooms where you'll see three white doors. The one that ain't the mens and ain't the womens is it (hint: on the far right). Inside, there's a dimly lit gem of a bar. A narrow, hallway-shaped space, the place almost feels like a very nice, very chic train (it's about the size of a single rail car). Two rows of tables lead to a small stage, which is filled nightly with poets, musicians and artists. While the cafe doesn't rack up big names, the folks that perform here are talented and innovative. Jazz and blues prevail, and the spirit of the place feels proud, like it's all a great big secret to the tourist-traps and high- priced watering holes surrounding this Greenwich Village locale. Once you're there, you'll feel like you've discovered something wonderful ... and you have.

Thank you Chippatrid!
