The Cherry Tavern allows the unpretentiously thirsty to carry on with excellence the vanishing East Village tradition of shooting pool, getting drunk, getting phone numbers and going home. Poker-playing-dog pictures, '70s porno-mag-style wood paneling and furniture just comfortable and sturdy enough to keep you off the floor make this tiny room so loser-friendly it's hard to believe you're not in Red Hook. Here the chatter is still about band gigs—not stock options or real estate ventures. Both pool table and jukebox get a decent workout beneath the kind of flattering, subdued red lights that have caused many improvised dates to fail the daylight test the next morning.
