- 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.
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!"
Thank you to everyone working overnight to keep the city running
It truly is the city that never sleeps
I truly enjoyed watching. This lady has a wonderful attitude to life and a personality to match.
I would probably need a morning drink too if I lived in NYC
This is true. Trust me.
Fun fact, back in the day, like the 1500s, beer / ale WAS a breakfast item. it just stopped being one as time went on
The world is a darker place for that.
**1800s
Their beer was much weaker than today's, it was basically like 1% alcohol so mostly water.
Because the water was not safe
been to literally EVERY bar in all 5 boroughs? i kinda doubt that.
The Park Tavern in NJ opens at 7am!
I used to know a bunch of places open at 8 am ...and drank in them all ..
Then at 10:00am is an AA meeting half block down ;)
Do people realize that there are people who work from midnight to 8 am?
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.
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 .
Here in Dublin we call them "early house's" some open @ 7am. Usually around the markets & docks.
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
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
great to see SOME things haven't been totally wiped out by our broken system.
My grandfather is from New York City. And he used to drink whiskey in the morning. Pretty much every morning.
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!
Alot of Bars in the Big Citys only close for a hour or two to clean then re-open
My local bar in Portland opens at 7am
Chicago bars can also open at 7 AM except on Sunday.
Where I live in California, bars are opened in the morning time, too. I thought this is normal stuff.
Great bar..
Sunrises…time to drink
I LOVE NEW YORK...
I eat eggs
She's adorable! If I can get up early enough, I'm going to check this place out. I want a T-shirt!
That was great
Rent is so high in New York City. I could totally understand !
Used to drink while in grad school at the International in the East Village at 9AM. Not sure if it’s still there. It was on 1st Ave.
Wasn’t expecting to see mike cannon s/o chrissy chaos
I said something to my friend about a bar open at 730 and he said its the midnight shifts 4 pm.
Lots of guys used to work night shifts manufacturing or whatever too and go hit the bar for a couple afterwards.
There’s bars in Milwaukee that open at 6am
Manitowoc too
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. 😂
Alcoholic.
Dublin House on W. 79th Street in the 90's
My girlfriend and I like this place.

As a rule humans not on the typical daily grind are interesting! Love it!

In Japan workers will have a drink before they go to work and it’s not a big deal at all.

Not one night shift worker in the whole video
I'm sure there are plenty of bars in the city that open at 8am
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.
Birunga
If you have to ask if it’s too early to drink… you’re an amateur and we can’t be friends…
Seems late to me

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....
Nothing cool about alcohol, grow up.
No thanks. Life is better without it.
