I don't understand, and will never understand, why people will stand around at Cowboy Monkey for an hour waiting for a table when there are 10 tables open 5 feet away at Barfly. We sat at the Barfly table closest to Cowboy Monkey and we could still hear the band and see into the club, so it was exactly like we were at Cowboy Monkey except the service was about 10 times faster and we didn't have to wait for a table. Barfly is clean, it didn't smell like a disgusting cigar smoked in ammonia like Boltini does, and there weren't a bunch of tramps giggling around and exposing their nipples (as recently at Guido's).
I did feel like kind of a loser for going in there since it's always so empty.
