Why take credit cards and pay a fee when you can install an ATM in the back? They probably make $2 each time you take out the max of $60-80. And you could always take a cash advance on your credit card. It's a win-win for them.

I know this is an old thread, but I was mortified to see nobody mentioned Barracuda or the Eagle! Cuda is definitely my favorite bar in the city. Cheap, STRONG drinks and cute guys and bartenders. I'm not so into the HK bars. The guys are too young and pretty. Dance-wise, there is Club 57 on Saturday nights.

My favourite is the Hangar in the village. You get drink specials and a good crowd variety. Barracuda is full of Chelsea queens.

umm
i am shocked to the core that no one mentioned Splash, which is a new york institution and must-visit for any visitor. just don't buy any sketchy substances from the people on the street outside of the club. on wednesday night, it's a toss up between Urge at 2nd and 2nd and G Lounge for me, but I do love both places. but my favorite night is sunday night - greenhouse is truly an amazing (albeit expensive) time...

Good call on Greenhouse. Rawhide is always fun if you're into pool.

Oh the memories I have of NYC bars 
where should I begin?! I don't have much to add, but....
Splash was my favorite place i reckon, that and the G Lounge (Jacob the bartender @ G is hot!). Can't go wrong with the Phoenix for $2 beers on Wednesday. And then theres Therapy and Vlada - more stylish places. I had my goodbye NYC party at Vlada, and my stalker showed up. That was fun, lol. Rockit @ Amalia was my Friday night place to be. I must say i'm embarrassed that I never went to Barracuda or XES while I was there. There's also a pool party called Drip at the Grace hotel. You don't have to go in the pool lol, not sure if they're bringing it back now that summer is on its way!
ciao

I liked splash cos it's huge. Other places have a smaller space and therefore a small dancefloor. And if you sign up for splash events on facebook or text message you can get in for free, otherwise I would'nt have gone there so often either. And topless guys can only be a positive thing
