Fishes Exposed: The Chelsea Coral Bar – New York

Hidden amongst the now-famed raw gallery spaces of west Chelsea, you can find yourself enjoying drinks in the coral reefs with the underwater world. The Coral Bar, expected to officially open to the public in June 2003, is an exhibition of sorts: six-foot high tanks lining the wall behind the bar are filled with thin, transparent fish that serve as magnifying glasses for the artistically displayed coral reefs and Tangueray 10 bottles on the tank floor. The crowd mingles into a back, cavernous room lined with faux-coral and dances to the popular electroclash. What will draw the hip Brooklyn crowds back into this Manhattan spot? The owners plan to entertain patrons with free drinks from 10-12 every Saturday night, while New York’s hottest DJs will spin great tunes.

At random times throughout the night a woman, dressed in sexy lingerie or suited up with a mermaid tail, dives into the large tanks while the fish swarm around her fighting for the food she feeds them from a martini glass. This theme bar has a definite mood. Prepare to get a little wet

The last time I was in brooklyn,it was for a fourth of july party years ago.The son of some hot shot shipping magnate had a party in his own private loft!The neighborhood itself isn't the greatest,if I wasn't with fifty other people I'd probably be afraid to walk through there at night! If I can manage to scrape my sweaty ass of my lazy boy one night I might have to check that bar out! (and yes I'll bring a camera of course!).

A nightly wet event for Brooklyn folks to see

This info is for those living in the West Chelsea neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.

There is a newly renovated bar just opened this month, called THE CORAL BAR...and behind the bar there is a giant water tank where mermaid girls swim in tank while you enjoy your beer. Some times the girls wear mermaid tails, and at other times in the evening they swim in lingerie, stockings and suspenders. This was reported on another forum last week, and so a fan went there to check it out...and this is his report this week...he reported seeing a beautiful asian girl, swimming in a red dress...

Here is his report...

Hey gang, just a follow up, I hit the new bar in New York patterned after Weeki Watchee and it was a lot of fun. General 60's exotic motif, though fairly minimal (fish drawings on the wall, a lounge that looked like a cave with the flickering lighting resembling being underwater.) But behind the bar was the giant tank full of coral, tropical fish, and indeed a bubbling gal swimming around. It was about 10' deep. This evening's woman was a beautiful Asian girl, doing 5 or 6 minute stints swimming between alternating costumes. She wore a red dress, then a white mermaid tail and clamshells, and nylons....she seemed very much at home in the water and the lighting was especially great (a photo of the bar/tank was posted in an earlier thread I am not sure is still up). Anyway, definitely worthwhile if you are visiting NYC....it's the closest WE'LL ever get to the experience, anyway.

Anyway...if you happen to live near Brooklyn and fancy a few beers, this sound like a pleasant way to spend an evening.

Take your camera too.
