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.
Thank you to everyone working overnight to keep the city running

It truly is the city that never sleeps
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!"
I would probably need a morning drink too if I lived in NYC

This is true. Trust me.
I truly enjoyed watching. This lady has a wonderful attitude to life and a personality to match.
Fun fact, back in the day, like the 1500s, beer / ale WAS a breakfast item. it just stopped being one as time went on

Their beer was much weaker than today's, it was basically like 1% alcohol so mostly water.

Because the water was not safe
Then at 10:00am is an AA meeting half block down ;)
been to literally EVERY bar in all 5 boroughs? i kinda doubt that.
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.
My grandfather is from New York City. And he used to drink whiskey in the morning. Pretty much every morning.
Do people realize that there are people who work from midnight to 8 am?
The Park Tavern in NJ opens at 7am!
Wish i'd known about that place years ago,when i visited,was going home on a Monday night flight. I was in and out of empty bars in Manhattan around lunchtime killing time,mind you,if the craic
I used to know a bunch of places open at 8 am ...and drank in them all ..
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 .
great to see SOME things haven't been totally wiped out by our broken system.
These people worrying about drinking at 8 am have obviously not spent much time in Europe or Asia.

Or aren't aware of people that work overnight
Love the horse shoe Bar. My old hangout!!
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!
Where I live in California, bars are opened in the morning time, too. I thought this is normal stuff.
Alot of Bars in the Big Citys only close for a hour or two to clean then re-open
She's adorable! If I can get up early enough, I'm going to check this place out. I want a T-shirt!
Great bar..
I LOVE NEW YORK...

Chicago bars can also open at 7 AM except on Sunday.
Sunrises…time to drink
Lots of guys used to work night shifts manufacturing or whatever too and go hit the bar for a couple afterwards.
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. 😂

There is nothing remarkable or impressive about drinking alcohol early in the morning.

If you want to wind up with a roomate and ex - wife , drink at 8 am.

If you have to ask if it’s too early to drink… you’re an amateur and we can’t be friends…

Isn't Mike Cannon Sober? What is this?
Seems late to me
Surprised NY post didn't post something bad about immigrants this time
Every bar in NYC has a comedy show?! WRONG!!!! And, as a retired cop who worked many night shifts, this is a normal thing! It's not the morning when you work nights!
I don't think this guy knows what the word literally means....
Yay- Alocoholism!

Gross alcohol in the AM
Nothing cool about alcohol, grow up.
