Yogi’s Got Even Better Monday Nights
The broke folks, the weekend drinking dilettantes, and the tourists tend to show up far less at Yogi’s on Monday nights, and I guess at many other bars, than they do most of the rest of the week. That has made it a haven for serious boozers and partygoers that night over the many years this wondrous dive has been open. Legendary bartenders have ruled Monday nights for over a decade, including Elizabeth, Myriam, and Julie. (Look up their pictures on the site, or let Kevin add them here.)
Since February of this year, a veteran beerslinger has called Yogi’s her home on Monday nights: the one and only Janet.
Janet had already made her mark at the grand old Village Idiot, but now has inherited this prized slot to entertain the crowd while helping getting them all jacked up. While her predecessors largely made their reputations on Monday nights at Yogi’s, Janet took over this spot with her place in the Hall of Fame long ago reserved.
Now she has been joined, for at least one night, by a newcomer to this little subculture of bars, the lovely Krystle.
Krystle comes to New York from the great state of Alabama, and though new to Yogi’s and The Patriot, she had heard many of the songs on their jukeboxes back home. She moved to New York to become an actress, and until she becomes a superstar or whatever she wants to be, we will see her here, as she has recently been hired by Tommy McNeil’s brain trust.
So there is plenty to drink at Yogi’s.
And plenty of good, healthy food to eat, too.

While Krystle doesn’t have a regular schedule yet, make sure to check her and Janet out whenever you can get out, and leave mucho big tips, too.
