Better than coffee? This NYC bar opens at 8 a.m. | Bars of NYC | New York Post

At Spring Lounge, the early bird gets the worm. And a shot.
This SoHo watering hole opens at 8 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. on Sundays. The stigma against drinking in the morning, however, is 24/7. "I get very defensive, very protective of my morning crew," general manager Jen Maslanka said. "Listen, if I were a cop, a fireman, [if] I worked in a hospital, I would want to drink after work. I would want several drinks!" Her morning eye-opener: A bloody Mary or a Guinness.
Spring Lounge's unique hours cater to anyone with a topsy-turvy schedule, such night-shift workers, students, film production crews and more. The bar, which dates back to the 1920s, lovingly dubs its regulars the Early Morning Drinkers Society - complete with punch cards and T-shirts. Find out more in this episode of "Best Kept Secret Bars of NYC: Sticky Floors of the Big Apple" hosted by Mike Cannon.

    Who drinks at 8am, the night shift that gets off at 8am.

    People who work the night shift, should be able to have a beer after work.

    Back in the 80's I worked in a small bar called The Cedar Club, on the outskirts of a small rural Texas town. It also opened at 8 am. Sometimes when I showed up to open, I'd have guys sitting in their pickups waiting for me to unlock the doors. It was a small beer and wine bar, but we also served free coffee. Some of the people would come in for the free coffee, but stay and have a few beers too. We had three "shifts" as the owner called them. We had the morning "shift" from opening until around noon. Then the second "shift" would start arriving and stay until around 4 or 5 pm. Then we had the evening/night "shift" with some customers that stayed until closing at 2 am. It was another one of those bars that "everyone knows your name!"

    Bars in the Bronx, and probably the other boroughs, could open at 8 am and close at 4 am. On Sunday it could open at 12 Noon. And it closed an hour earlier on Saturday night, or after midnight at 3 am. My dad was a bartender. He worked 6 days a week, 10 hours a day.

    There was a bar / Restaurant in the port Authority back in the late 60,s and early 70,s called The Post and Coach . The restaurant was fabulous. The bar was separated from the restaurant by itself . It was open in the morning for rush hour and was packed people standing three deep at 7:30 AM .

    Wow what a treat to see... my first trips to NYC in 2004 found us meandering through this neighbourhood and finding the (now gone) Pomodoro Pizza place across the street ... the natural progression was to head over to Spring Lounge for some Yuenglings... a tradition was born... every time we've visited NYC since, Spring Lounge has been our destination. If you find yourself at Spring Lounge, you've seen a wonderful part of NYC on the way to get there... and you've found the best place in NYC!

    I lived in a big American city where bars closed at 4:00 am and opened again at 7 am. Just enough time for the help to z out the registers, clean the place up, restock the bar, and reopen. That was fine but sometimes I just went to a 24-hour bar so I didn’t have to worry about when they closed. 😂
