The Ding Dong Lounge, New York

The Ding Dong Lounge - With deep red walls, cramped, intimate quarters, hard top tables and the classic dim light, smoke haze ambience of every good bar, the Ding Dong Lounge holds to the design and spirit of the punk/grunge days and continues to attract a mood appropriate crowd. Located at 929 Columbus Ave on Manhattan's Upper West Side, it is one of New York's last outposts of the grizzled days of rock and roll still holding the line against the onset of canned pop leaflet scene kids and flash in the pan emo boys.
