Before going to a concert at MSG, we stopped by this bar Stout. Most bars in this area are kinda small and dumpy, but not this one! Stout is two huge floors with more than enough room for everyone. The first floor is a traditional bar with TV's playing sports. It has a large open area and lots of elevated booths on the side. Downstairs is where the fun is. There are 3 different rooms - another traditional bar scene, a red theme smaller cocktail room, and posh lounge space with cushioned benches all around. I was just surprised by how huge the space is and the variety of the people there. It was very packed, however. Seems like a big after work scene. They did make kind of a weak vodka tonic, but I think I can forgive that and stop by for another visit.
