So.. I’m gonna try and keep this short. I am visiting NY this weekend and after flying in yesterday from the UK I went to the EVR bar last night. As a NY club, it’s everything it should be ( this isn’t /r/manhattanclubs(?) so I’m not going to write about what makes a good club but take it from me, once inside, it’s good). I spent over an hour in the line, saw the entire “Good looking? Step right in!” thing first hand, but as mentioned, that’s just a fact of life with clubs and doormen.
Finally got in, bought my favourite tipple, a Bombay Saphire and Tonic (and my word was I thirsty at this point), said to the barman “I’d like to pay in bitcoins please” – he asked another barman how to do it. They said “Sorry – we aren’t doing bitcoins tonight.”. Luckily, I had a wallet full of fiats ready to party so out they came.
I’m not even sure what my point is here, but just be aware, if you are trying to spend bitcoins, then always have a backup. Oh. and if you’re going to the EVR bar, bring a book (or two) to read while you are waiting in line as well.
