Directions

What to get

  • A $35 bucket of longnecks at the 100-foot bar (Infatuation)
  • Food before 10 pm, when the kitchen closes

When to go

Daytime or early evening on the main floor - 'main floor or bust' (Infatuation); first sets start at 10 am.

Insider tip

The bar is over 100 feet long and inlaid with nearly 10,000 silver dollars, and Nudie Cohn's custom Cadillac 'Nudie Mobile' hangs on the wall (venue). Infatuation calls it the best place on Broadway to belt along to 'Don't Stop Believin'.'
