Carmelo’s is the actualization of the bar you always dreamed of. Great, affordable drinks and sick music. There is so much space, which is a rarity in New York. All the staff are genuinely caring and interesting people. There are a few reviews here about being turned away either at the door or by the bartender. Some of these try to curse but asterisk out some of the letters like it’s 1999 MySpace. Time to grow up. And by the way, someone turning you down at a bar because he isn’t positive your ID is real isn’t arrogant or douchey, it’s called being a professional and doing your job. It happens sometimes. You don’t go cry to the internet and blame the bar. It’s their job to manage risk and if the bar staff aren’t sure the ID is real, it isn’t with the risk. This has happened to me with IDs from out of state as well. I shrug and feel disappointed, maybe try to fight it.

The frozen Margaret’s are awesome. Amenities are good, arcade is super, but it is very crowded and it is every man for himself. We were blessed to snag a table from some kind fellows. Ariana grande once came here or so we heard. The snow falls a plenty. Sort of an alienating place. In the soft light and the dark, all the hot people are playing pool, which is impossibly busy to connect. I had a sadly brief affair with an autistic fellow, whom I had my first encounter with here. Very belligerent and self aggrandizing, but we were bedfellows nonetheless, and I have to thank Carmelo’s for that. The music is loud now. Impossibly loud. Last time I was here a woman spilled Julian casblancas divorce secrets. She was under nda. Watch who you trust in this pit of snakes and thunder. You really have to watch your back. I wish you all the best of luck on your journey, and if it may bring you to Carmelo’s, it is a place that could only add some intrigue, I’ll give it that. Farewell....
