Desert 5 Spot is the Rainforest Cafe of Western bars, and we say that with affection. Williamsburg is about as far from the country as the moon, and yet—with Skinny Dennis and this LA transplant—it’s become the epicenter of the NYC cowpoke renaissance. In a room the size of an airplane hangar, you’ll find what is essentially a Wild West theme park complete with bales of hay, wagon wheel chandeliers, and a stage for live music. Bring a few friends, then line dance under a cowboy boot disco ball, or enjoy a crisp glass of ranch water on a tasseled banquette under a gallery wall of Dolly Parton photos. Just because this place is cheesy, doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.
