Profile

There's something innately sleazy about SBNY (formerly just "Splash"), and that's what makes it so much fun. Stand on the dance floor and watch hard-body boys on the threshold of manhood shower on an elevated catwalk—before descending to the smallest of three bar areas to shake their moneymakers. If you position yourself properly at the main bar, you can scan the dance floor, back bar and shower scene all at once. And you always have a perfect view of the hottie bartenders, clothed only in boxer-briefs. DJs thump generic house mixes, occasionally throwing in a fierce remix. Kick it downstairs for a lower-lit, lower-key, loungier vibe while checking out trade in the bathroom line. — Heather Marie Graham

Those aren't Bloomberg monitors. Look a little closer and get an eyeful of the "erotic videos."

As a bartender myself, I must say something about their bartenders. I stood their watching them pouring the drinks. For instence, I saw a bartender making a Greygoose with coke. It should be 1 oz Greygoose and top with coke. However, the bartender poured 2oz + Greygoose and top with coke. Because of that, I only ordered a bottle of Corona with lime wedge for my sake. Anyway, I believe that was my last time going to Splash.

What happened to the go-go boys they used to have?

As soon as I walked into the club, I realized the big differences of the interior designs now than six years ago. At the same time, I also noticed the huge differences of its clientiles now than six years ago. There used to be young and handsome guys, but last night most of the guys there could be my sugar daddy. In addition, there were about 10 go-go boys last night but only one or two of them knew how to dance. Yes, I had to admit they all were eye-candies but that doesn't make them just stand on the stages to watch others dancing. I still remember six years ago, Splash had four or five go-go dancers a night they were very professional. Unfortunately, last night that bubble just bursted.
