Venue Review: Bowery Electric - Bar (NYC - New York City)

The owners of Hi-Fi (home of ELDJ, the best (only?) home-made MP3 jukebox in New York City recently opened a new rock bar, Bowery Electric (which we told you about a few weeks ago). The bar takes over the space that used to house Remote Lounge (the bar where you could spy on your neighbors via camera). Grub Street has the details:

Horsehair-type stools at a long bar in the front room (eight beers on tap) and some tables in the boxy back room, where of course Remote Louge’s surveillance stations used to be.

Down By The Hipster reported on the soft opening:

The bar, which is owned by Mike Stuto of HiFi and Jesse Malin and Johnny T of Niagara and Black and White, broke out a velvet rope and clipboard mafia to keep the public out, a sign of what the Bowery has become. Sigh. Anywhoo, first reports have the space sparsely decorated, with a simple black and white motif inside. There are a few table spaces with wrap around banquet type seating arrangements, but judging from their other joints, this will definitely be a place to come and drink. What else would you want?
