While Boxers has three designated GENIUS 'service only' areas, they are not enforced and are sometimes ignored by the bartenders. On busy Fridays and Saturdays, be prepared to wait 10 - 15 minutes for a drink. The bartenders will spend their time telling you how 'straight' they are-it doesn't matter to me if you're gay or straight as long as you're interested in getting me a drink. The bar serves brick oven pizza, wings, guacamole and fries to go along with their 'sports bar' theme, regardless of the fact that no one is watching any sports on the televisions. The pool tables are also awkwardly placed-if you're not careful you'll get hit in the ass with a pool stick. There isn't lot of seating and a few of the walkways get easily crowded if you stand in them, you'll be getting banged all night (and not in a good way). Its central location on 6th avenue and 20th Street below the former Limelight helps make it a nice meeting spot for post-work drinks. Boxers NYC: With a faux boxing ring in its center that doubles as a DJ booth, this is my go-to happy hour spot during any given day of the week.
