Although I live in manhattan I make regular trips out to Lucky 13 for the incredible metal (with some punk & hardcore) jukebox & the awesome bartenders. Also, before 9 pm you can get Busch beer in a can for $1 so it's a good way to start out. After 9 Busch and Pabst Blue Ribbon are only $2 ALL NIGHT LONG! when they have DJs they play a good mix of metal, on some nigts a lot of very heavy/death/thrash metal & on other nights it can be more 80s metal & industrial, check their myspace for event calender so you know what's happening. they also have good bands on some weekends, for FREE. sometimes there are half naked girls working the stripper pole on the bar too! I love the Lucky 13!

I have been going to Lucky 13 on and off for about 3 years, never a bad time. the metal karaoke on thursday nights is f'in hilarious. and when metalheads get drunk, they sing dumber and dumber songs lol. ;) the house brew, lucky 13 ale, on tap is $3 for a pint & it's really delicious! the jukebox is INCREDIBLE, with slayer, sepultura, meshuggah, lamb of god, dimmu borgir, mastodon, just unbelievable stuff. add hot go-go girls on certain nights and you've got yourself the best bar in NYC.

I recently attended a night at Lucky 13 called "Blessed are the Sick" which was a full night of nothing but EXTREME metal, we're talking everything from Morbid Angel to Cannibal Corpse to Death... I had been in before on a friday night and the jukebox was pumping out Venom and Slayer!! this place is a MUST go-to!! and they have $2 beers all the time, even during peak time, can't beat that. near trains too.
