My Two Loves

Name: Doghouse Saloon NYC

Address: 152 Orchard Street

Why we love it: I have very few loves in life. One is alcohol, one is video games, and the last is Chipotle (but that has nothing to do with this post). The first two however are the reasons why i wish i could legally marry this place. I went to the Doghouse about two weeks after it had opened on a Wednesday night with a few friends, the bar was pretty empty, only about 20 people, but it ended up being one of the most fun nights i had had in a while. When I arrived, the first thing I noticed was the rockband set set-up in front of a huge projection screen and street fighter 4 set-up on another television. From this alone I knew it was going to be a great night. After a few drinks (Specials available everyday) we decided it was rockband time. After a few more drinks I broke out in a drunken rendition which could vaguely be recognized as Bon Jovi's Dead or Alive. I figured after this i had to ban myself from any further public humiliation and retreated back to the bar to watch baseball on their numerous flat screens around the room. I argued with the bartender over the Yankees and Mets, and played their famous "Wheel of Shots", which is a huge spinning wheel with prizes ranging from water to jello shots to bombs and well shots. The wheel also contains a bartenders choice, which after the bartender found out my hatred for whiskey, poured me a shot of Jack Daniels. It's $5 per spin and worth playing at least once, and don't worry the bartenders will rarely actually give you a shot of water. This is all only on the first floor of the bar. On the second level, their game room, a pool table, skee-ball and buck hunt can be found along with some booths to lounge at. Various beer pong tables are also scattered around on both levels of the bar. All in all this bar has the total package, geared toward college students something can be found here for everyone.
