I went to the Racoon Lodge this past week-end and it was a good experience. The service was good, the juke box had a wide selection (whatever your taste in music may be), and the place wasn't too packed for a Saturday night which to me is a huge +. However, my drink cost me more than I expected but I think that the location played a big part in this since Racoon is located in the Downtown area of Manhattan (just blocks from the WTC). I will hang out here again though. :)
Pros: Big selection on the jukebox, good service, not too packed
Cons: Drinks were kinda expensive
