Overview

A mecca for the frat boys at heart. Start off the night with a little beer pong, then a few rounds of shots, and when your buzz gets going work your way to the dance floor and find someone's hip to hump arrhythmically to the sweet beats of Abba.

If you miss those bygone days of mucky bars that smell of stale beer, then Mad River is the place for you.

Part college-town pub, part happy-hour hot spot and all Upper East Side.

I don't know why I keep letting my friends drag me back here. I had a good time once, and that's only because I drank a lot. The drinks are more expensive than they should be, it's always cramped, and it's definitely lacking the cool factor.
