Review: 123 Burger Shot Beer

Times are tightening, Ladies and Gentlemen. Turn on the news and you see it. Katie Couric keeps squawking about the rising price of gasoline. Brian Williams won’t shut-up about the higher cost of self-tanner. A recession is in the air, and it smells like – oh no, what’s that smell – Bud Draft.

We wish we could close our eyes and count to three. We’d wake up, and all of the drunken money woes would be gone. No more nights spent huddled inside, and no more bread lines for Budweiser.

Apparently – there is a bar that didn’t realize our counting business is just a patented form of denial (i.e. “We only had 1 martini, 3 glasses of wine and 2 whiskey shots – it’s really not that much!”). 123 Burger Shot Beer takes their counting seriously. They charge $1 for a small burger, $2 for a shot, and $3 for an icy cold draft. Thankfully this isn’t some socialism based welfare-system – there are plenty of brews, and imports, to choose from.

Located on 50th and 10th avenue, this Hell’s Kitchen cheap-hole is bringin’ it to Grays Papaya. The city hot dog haunts may have the banners that scream “recession special” but man cannot live on hot dog and shakes alone. Burgers and beer? Well, we figure we can go for at least 40 days. Throw some shots in there? We’d be good for 70. Minimum.

Barfly is curious to see if 123 can carry their “trifecta perfecta” - a $6 table full of grease and booze – through the pending economic storm. Rumor has it that the price of beer is rising. If history dictates – the problem that directly follows record gas prices is Kamikaze shot inflation. To make it through this tough slog, the bar does supplement a bit. They have some treats ranging in the $4 (fried ravioli) and $6 (wings) range, plus a full bar that is poured at regular prices.

Most importantly – the female waitresses are forced to walk around in very short shorts. If beer, burgers, and exposed ass cheeks can’t carry us through a recession – the American economy is doomed.

Review: 123 Burger Shot Beer – 738 10th Avenue (between 50th and 51th):

Location – 3 olives – Would we rather go on unemployment or walk over to Tenth Avenue to save a few bucks? The burgers may have been tasty, but we’re still not sure we made the right choice.

Economic Policy – 5 olives – The presidential contenders really should take note. While they are proposing silly things like gas tax holiday and corporate incentives – this place is serving up change we can believe in. What’s the average voter really going to care about – universal health care or getting wasted for twenty five bucks?

Price – 5 olives – We enjoy being able to eat like a king for $3. Yes – it might be a wee little king who likes wee little burgers, but its still feels like royalty damn-it.

Waitresses’ Asses – 4 olives – Even if the stock market does end up crashing into oblivion, its nice to see that this country will have some capital left. If all else fails – we could jumpstart the economy by selling them as “waitresses” to “restaurants” in Dubai!

123 is great. great food, cheap full bar drinks, hot girls, good music. what else could be better? oh right, nothing. 2$ mixed shots and then 6$ full bar shots, even grey goose. Count me in from now on, 123 rocks.
