Snitch is a hot new Rock 'n Roll Club with a unique blend of what you would get if you fuse a New York lounge and a bar together. Live music or Rock and Roll DJ's rule the night. On weekends they even serve food from 4 am - 8 am, after last call at the bar.
Get past the name and the occasional doorman to find a Chelsea bar with a warm rock-and-roll vibe. If the band (or the buzz for drop-in performances) is good, the red-washed interior fills with music execs, indie hipsters and fresh-faced groupies. Chances of catching a celeb at the next banquette are high, given that Velvet Revolver bandmates Scott Weiland and Duff McKagan and Fuel vocalist Brett Scallions are partners in the venture.
The room comes alive late at night, when bands take to the intimate circular stage. The tables and red banquettes lining the wall fill quickly, meaning a standing-room-only crowd dominates during performances. A crisp sound system balances the music across the long room and delivers the required punch. True rockers stick with Bud, as the mixed drinks, though strong, aren't cheap. Early evenings, the flat-screen TVs show a variety of sports. |
