Here's where to watch free porn while drinking... and probably contemplating some of your life choices. (Photo by Jen Carlson/Gothamist)
Last Friday we (yes, we, as in all of the Gothamist editorial team) found ourselves at the Double Down Saloon for a few after work refreshments... though not one of us braved the $4 cups of "Ass Juice" that the East Village mainstay is probably best known for. While there, not only did we observe a patron donning Google Glasses, we also saw an amazingly diverse collection of pornography screening on several television screens. There was little person porn, animated porn, classic old school porn, porn with plotlines... all running on a smutty, infinite loop.
The added value of free porn is not a new thing; Double Down has been doing this for many years—it used to be projected on the wall, and sometime around 2011 they dabbled with the horrifying nightmare fuel that is clown porn. But as they've fine tuned and curated their on-screen collection, 5 out of 5 Yelpers agree: the porn is awesome...
- "Double Down made me remember how much I love 80s porn. Those blondes with the big oversprayed hair and the gripping storylines from a time when things were simpler."
- "The porn was strong on the next visit. Full blow jobs, money shots, Grand Ma action, and hentai."
- "Loved the porn."
- "The porn is awesome!"
- "The porn that was on while I was in there was actually pretty good."
As one Yelper points out, this is one way to keep babies out of bars. And now you know where to go if things ever get weird at your local library branch.
