The new East Village bar 96 Tears has an old soul and a certain spirit that you can't just conjure out of thin air.
Pyro’s collection exudes a sense of fun that carries over into the music and the drinks as well. Besides having a vintage jukebox stocked with classic 50’s and 60’s sides that run from the classic to the obscure, Toubin’s providing a soundtrack that goes even further with a wild mix that blends a record collector’s dream set of rarified finds with quintessential samples of good old New York rock and roll.
The drink menu was created in the same spirit, with cocktails such as Goo Goo Muck, Slow Death, Fortune Teller, Sister Ray and Love Potion #9 inspired by the same musical wellspring. “ A bar needs to have an identity and a concept. This is what I want if I walked into a bar somewhere,” Johnny T. explained. “It’s not a bro club — it’s full of students of life.”
“They are all playing top 40,” he lamented. “This is a place for people who are looking for rock and roll, not Katy Perry or the latest hits. It’s not a shopping mall.”Hangin’ by the record machine, L-R: Jesse Malin, Johnny T., Jonathan Toubin.
