East Village Dive Bar Shows Porn On Their TVs

Gothamist - Last Friday we (yes, we, as in all of the Gothamist editorial team) found ourselves at the Double Down Saloon for a few after work refreshments… though not one of us braved the $4 cups of “Ass Juice” that the East Village mainstay is probably best known for. While there, not only did we observe a patron donning Google Glasses, we also saw an amazingly diverse collection of pornography screening on several television screens. There was little person porn, animated porn, classic old school porn, porn with plotlines… all running on a smutty, infinite loop. The added value of free porn is not a new thing; Double Down has been doing this for many years—it used to be projected on the wall, and sometime around 2011 they dabbled with the horrifying nightmare fuel that is clown porn. But as they’ve fine tuned and curated their on-screen collection, 5 out of 5 Yelpers agree: the porn is awesome…

“Double Down made me remember how much I love 80s porn. Those blondes with the big oversprayed hair and the gripping storylines from a time when things were simpler.”
“The porn was strong on the next visit. Full blow jobs, money shots, Grand Ma action, and hentai.”
“Loved the porn.”
“The porn is awesome!”=
“The porn that was on while I was in there was actually pretty good.”

Genius move. If you own a bar, airing porn on your TVs is an absolute no brainer in my book. Aside from any time there’s a big game on that everyone wants to watch, porn is the next best thing for the bar atmosphere. Why are people at the bar in the first place? 90% of them are there to get wasted and hook up. Nothing sets the tone for that like people fucking on camera. Its an ice breaker. Its a conversation starter. Sets the mood. Gets dudes hard and chicks wet. You run some standard Vivid Videos porn – nothing creepy like this place – and I bet the success rate of everyone looking to hook up goes up about 5,000%. And if thats not a business formula to bring back repeat customers, I don’t know what is. Keep everything else exactly the same – music, booze, dancing – just have porn on in the background – and you’ll have the most successful bar in the world.
