a bit racist, perhaps?

upon seeing this, we turned right around and went across the street to zablonski's. a much more pleasant experience.

Interesting. As a public place you really cannot restrict membership in an overt way.

I'd bet that they still turn people away at the door if they're wearing any of the above.

what is not evident for those who haven't been there, is that this bar is a total shit-hole. these are not the typical nightclub "no hat/no sneakers" rules intended to keep it high-class or something.

As one of the gothamist commenters noted, this is the same dress code set at the 4040 Club, owned by Jay Z.

Is he racist?

there's a big difference between a williamsburg white people hipster bar and the 4040 club.

What's the difference, amysimmer?

benjamin running says:

the difference is that 4040 is a high-end, expensive, classy place with a dress code designed to maintain an atmosphere desirable to upscale and celebrity clientele.

hugs, on the other hand (as i pointed out above), is a gross dive bar where you go to drink cheap beer and play Big Buck Hunter.

it's often filled with clientele wearing ratty t-shirts, jeans, and sneakers. that's fine and all, but suggesting the 'dress code' is in place to keep the place 'classy; is not even remotely possible.

most ironic (in fitting with the hood) part is that Cazwell is the host of tonight's party. cazwell.com/
