"Invited" for drinks by bar???

Does anyone know the name of this bar?

A couple of friends of mine recently visited one's older brother in NYC. They were telling me that Brooklyn had some underground, hipster mixologist bar where you had to be "invited" (with an invitation) by the bar to come in and have drinks.
WTF Is this? How pompous can you get? I usually never wish bad things upon businesses, but I truly hope they fail and fall flat on their face. You're a bunch of skinny-jeaned, bearded Philosophy or Poetry graduates from State U or an overpriced, discounted liberal arts school. Get over yourselves. Invitation only to have drinks at our bar? Get real.

I wish nothing but hate and really bad shite for people that get their shite stained underwear in a wad over how people like to live their life.

Wow, chillax bro.
I think this is funny as shite, I love to watch how cleverly you can separate suckers from their money.

I got to meet the owner of one of these super high-end invite only bars in Chicago. We went one night with the owner of a Michelin star restaurant after a private dinner and he got us in without the invitations.
The foodies I was with were all excited about the place. I was pretty drunk by that point and just wanted a damn bourbon. They literally would not let me order a bourbon on the rocks. Insisted that I purchase something off of the "menu". I got some bourbon based concoction that was served in a giant sealed plastic bag that came filled with smoke. They busted the bag open so the smoke flew into my face. I got pissed at the server and she got all offended. Apparently blowing smoke in my face was supposed to be a good thing. Drink turned out to be a $25 watered down old-fashion.
Speaking with the owner, I asked him WTF? and he just laughed and said I wouldn't believe how much money he was making. Apparently the more exclusive he made the place the more people wanted in. As a fan of capitalism, I applaud him.

There is nothing new about this concept. My bar is in an oak chifferobe in the end of my den. It is by invitation only.

Maybe it is an illegal bar. Getting a liquor license is very difficult.

Wow how fricking mad are you right now?

It was a copy and paste job from another site. Hence the quotations and my "
" after asking the name of the bar. Dumbass.Posted on 7/17/16 at 3:09 pm to LSUbase13
Great topic

Good enough for you to reply a couple of times you drunk.

Isn't this just a younger generation's version of the older traditional men's clubs? Leather chairs, cigars, suits, not just anybody can join kind of thing? Had to be a "man about town" to get in by recommendation?
Pretentiousness was not invented by hipsters.

As a bar, yes it's ridiculous. As a theatrical experience, it's pretty damn entertaining. And delicious.
Haven't been invited to the Office downstairs.

If it's in Brooklyn, I'm not too sure this will apply.

This definitely won't apply.
This isn't Augusta National we're talking about here. It's most likely a hipster, speakeasy tucked away in the slop closet of Roberta's pizzaeria in Williamsburg.
To answer the OP, are you thinking of PDT (Please Don't Tell)? The mixologist bar in Crif Dog's?

Yeah, that's why I said it was the younger generation's version.
