Hmm, what can I say about Dugout? The words that come to mind are (in no particular order): dirty, fat, sticky floors, bears, fur, loud, beer gut... Did I already say fat?
Anyway, it is for BEARS BEARS BEARS and those who love them. I love Bears too, but this place has seen better days. During happy hour, the beers are flowing and the boys are loud. Good thing, right? But the shirts come off and the hands start grabbing and sometimes obnoxious. Bad thing! These aren't your TitanMen, Black Party or Black and Blue Ball Boys. These are just gays guys who eat too much.
The boys are what you'd expect from a NYC institution: they are loud, big, and masters of their domain, and don't care who sees or knows it. I love NewYorkers but I think they really could clean the place up a bit, fit the broken everything, and make it the landmark it once was. There is a little outside "cage" area to take your beer and watch the boys from the piers stroll up Christopher Street.
The bathroom "wallpaper" is something to behold. It took a lot of time and is well done, for what it is. If nothing else, check it out (and forget privacy while you do it), grab a bear (I mean beer) and go.
