From a 12 year veteran Bartender. It's all I'm good for. In NYC. PJ Clarks' , Jonnie's Fish grill and the 10th floor bar at the NYMEX all located at 1 North end Ave by the NYMEX.
I work in Jersey City, the 525 Washington Building. Dorrians really is the only place to grab a drink in that area. Havent tried South City Grill for happy hour yet, it may be worth a shot sometime.
I am sure you meant nothing by it, but why would anybody reveal what company they worked for on this board? Try using common sense or PM's!
In Chicago, across from the CBOE (and Chicago Stock Exchange). Very near the CBOT and down the street from CME. Alcock's. Once a month they have "dancers" from around the states perform on the bar. Traders do hang out there, although, if I had a bar, I would not name it Alcock's. It would be "all - different genitalia".
Alcock's is definitely the place to hang after the markets close. Great community there. http://www.alcocks.com/
I suppose that another thing you might want to know about a trader's bar is when it Opens and Closes, as well as when or what its High and Low points are during the day, so that you can better time your visit or entry. Yes, I'm bored.
BWAHAHAHA!! Nice joke guys. Clearly there is a good reason why it is called Alcocks. Its a bar for chutney ferrets! Take a look: http://www.alcocks.com/phikappatheta1.htm Not a girl insight! Most of them have moustaches and shaved heads - dead give-away Why not just goahead and call it All cocks?
