The Crocodile Lounge, New York

Crocodile Lounge, The - Formerly the Cellar, Crocodile Lounge has undergone a makeover. Green neon lights and a snaking vine and fern theme brings this bar to the likeness of a Chuck E. Cheese's on the Amazon. And in spite of this—perhaps due to the leftover hipsters who once frequented the Cellar or to the decor which may strategically transcended irony to reach some higher state of devoid, self-loathing mockery—Crocodile Lounge doesn’t feel all that corny. Not to be confused with its sister bar the Alligator Lounge in Williamsburg, Crocodile Lounge has Skee-Ball and arcade games in the back room, attracts a lively happy-hour crowd, and—always important to note—there's free pizza all night with any drink order.
