Reopenings: Double Down Saloon on A

Double Down Saloon, the dump (said in a loving way!) that serves bacon martinis and Ass Juice at 14 Avenue A, has reopened for the first time since March 2020. (The space was put to use for a video shoot with Dua Lipa and Miley Cyrus back in October.)

The bar, the sibling to the Las Vegas original, is now open from 4-11 p.m. under the current 50-percent capacity and other COVID protocols here between Second Street and Houston.

After a visit to the Double Down Saloon on Avenue A yesterday, inspectors closed the bar and affixed the familiar yellow sticker of doom on the door... Inspectors haven't filed the report online yet.

Updated:

The inspector's report is now online... 68 total violation points, per the DOH... the usual 4-legged things... plus! " No facilities available to wash, rinse and sanitize utensils and/or equipment."
