The local pool league just started up again and our first match was away at a bar in New Rochelle where I took the picture above. I thought it was some kind of joke or corny Footloose reference until I learned that no, they were not kidding. Apparently there was one night that customers were just playing music on the jukebox and dancing to it when New Rochelle Police showed up and broke up that nonsense. Sorry, no cabaret license, no dancing! And they FINED the bar! Cabaret license? This wasn’t strippers putting on a show, it was regular customers doing what regular people do in bars when they hear music they like. Is that crazy or what? The neighbors must have been complaining something fierce to bring that on because I know there’s enough crime in New Rochelle that NRPD should have had a lot better things to do than cracking down on booty shakin at the local bar. Oh well. Fortunately for me, my home bar this season is Butch’s in Eastchester, probably my favorite bar in Westchester- good space, a pool table and a dart board, flat screen tv’s everywhere, attractive bartenders and great bar food including the best wings in the county as far as I’m concerned. Oh, and yes they serve Heineken Light.
