(After seeing an image of the Rocky Horror-inspired urinals online, I promised to procure the maker's info for a friend, but I soon learned the only referral these ladies could make was to their surgeon).ĭrinks fly overhead (most of the time) through pressurized tubes and tables can tweet at the bar or at each other and see their snippets broadcast on the aforementioned video screens, usually adjacent to some face that is faux fellating Adam's little crotch camera. On one wall, there is a mural of what appears to be a subway platform. There's a portrait of Adam with an actual leaf pinned over his crotchal area (which later investigation will reveal is a small camera, which broadcasts the faces of its intrepid discoverers to the bar), an archway smattered with oil paint, a wall of household objects canvassed in white and arranged nonsensically. One lap inside and you're not sure exactly where you are. Urinals with mouths, bank tubes shuttling drinks around the bar, hidden streaming video cameras, public tweets via bar screens - it's cool, but it's confused. The Midtown bar - a new concept by Darren Van Delden, the same guy behind Red Door and Drake - had its grand opening Thursday night after several weeks of a soft-opening phase, and it's pure schtick.
Such would be the type of honest tweet broadcast on one of Wonder Bar's multiple screens. Also, I think your urinal is coming onto me.'
