http://www.hellskitchenbar.com/When a fire ravaged the club next door on New Year's Day 2009, the smoke damage to Hell's Kitchen was too extensive to avoid not doing some remodeling. Fans of Dawson's Creek will still feel right at home in a bar that was a featured interior set for the show for over five years, from 1998 to 2003. The floor, ceiling, tables, and chairs all have fresh coats of paint and polish that have essentially remade the formerly grimy Hell's Kitchen into something more like the Gordon Ramsey's versions of the same name. It's more like Hell's Demo Kitchen in there, and it is a pleasant change that is easy to get used to.
Not much else has changed. The menu is still the same; it features good, affordable bar food. The musical lineup is still the same; they feature plenty of local bands. The service is still the same; it's professional and speedy.
We were there recently for Monday Night Trivia. There was a sedate crowd for a warm night and it was a far cry from Kefi's boisterous version on Wednesday night. Nevertheless, everyone seemed to be having a great time, and the host seemed to have no problem rattling off questions and answers. We're not exactly saying it was boring, but... O.K. It was boring, and so is this article. What did we expect for an early Monday night? Check it out for yourself on a more hopping evening.
