Plan B

I haven’t been here in a while but I do remember enjoying the cheese filled burgers and the drinks. Also, everyone was so friendly. Great atmosphere!!!

I don’t know which category should I put Plan B. It is a mix of speakeasy/​dance/​lounge kinda of place. My friend knew about this place and we went here on a saturday night.
When we went it was close to midnight and there were like 10 people in line to get in. We had to wait for 10 minutes to go inside. There was no cover when we walked in. So after one goes past by the bouncer, one enters a real Saloon, yes it is an actual saloon. There is a iron door where a different bouncer made us wait for 5 minutes before finally letting us in.
So in all there are two check points to enter this place. There were a lot of people inside and a whole lack of ventilation, it was fucking hot inside. It was taking us foreever to get a drink, so we made a wise and walked out.
Nothing special about this place, also around Plan B there are no other good clubs/​lounges so basically one is stuck. I think I will stick to my usual spots in LES and Meatpacking!

The girl up front was bossy and a bit stuck up. But immediately shut her trap when a $ 20 was dropped in her hand. The place was ridiculously small but I liked the «speak easy» vibe.

Plan B =
Plan Bad.
Plan Botched horribly.
Plan Bored.
Plan Brain dead.
Plan Bet you can come up with a much better plan B than to come here.
Plan Better not plan on staying.
Plan Boatload of shit on the floor.
Plan Boundless options BESIDES this club.
Plan Back out slowly.
Plan Backhand whomever’s idea it was to come here.
Plan B-​line for the door.
You get the idea.

This falls into my category of places you don’t «plan» on going, but end up there at some point in the night.
Drinks are mediocre, but the ambience of the place and the music is pretty cool. Always has a good crowd, even though space is kind of tight.
A friend of mine had bottle service in the back room, so I had that going for me…
You will end up here at some point, so don’t deny it. Go with your urges.

More like plan T, because I’d need to get through 19 other options until I’d go there.
Oh, snap, I totally went there.

OMG. before stepping into this bar… please consider the name first. It’s called Plan B for a reason people… when it should have been called Plan Z… because this is the LAST place I’d EVER consider going back to. I’d go with Plan A at all times if possible… Plan B has major spacing issues, music was hellaWHACK, and the crowd was infinite BLAH.
i’ve got very high standards… you couldn’t even get me to dance here even if you tried.

As retro /​hip as the interior design might suggest, Plan B was swarming with people who literally were body to body with everyone else. It was so crowded that it would be a fire hazard should anything happen with that many people stuffed together. What made things worse is that UNLESS there is a birthday party, the bouncers have tried to milk $ 5.00 cover from males. Each time we’ve been «excused» from having to do so as if they were doing us a favor.
Of course, there are a variety of reasons the people do come, such as the great music, cheap drinks, and friendly service for starters. However, by doing so keeps folks from being able to dance and the folks who are at tables unable to enjoy themselves with a sea of people all scooting around each other just to get to the other side of the room. Not recommended for birthday parties or people who enjoy dancing in a club.
