Bar for traders

Quote from badtrader:

The best place in Chicago to talk to traders is the Manhole. Great drink specials too!

should I deduce from that statement that most traders are gay?


....not that there is anything wrong with that...my daughter and I have worked in the airline business....
 
Quote from DonnaV:

so far I've googled Manhole bar (Chicago)...info is that if your interested in a quiet place to talk then this gay bar is not it with porn on the walls...I think we'll be passing on that (I'm planning on being with my daughter:eek: )

Elbo room looks too big...

any other's?

manhole is closed.... it's now Hydrate. Ask WDGann :D

Actually, I didn't know there was such a place. I was just using the name as a play on words. Same with "Manhole," which was referred to by someone else.
 
"Boots and Saddles" is a popular spot for the big swinging trader's.
Only a hop, skip, and a jump from Wall Street.
 
A bunch of traders I work with (myself included) go to Dorrians in Jersey City on occasion and Green Rock in Hoboken on thurs ($1 drafts from 5-8). Just cause you had a good day of trading doesnt mean you need to blow it all drinking $20 red bull and vodka's in the city :)


Quote from TheCaracal:

Johnny's Fish & Grill -- mostly NYMEX traders, there early around 3:00 ish.

Grill Room -- Likely some ML, Lehman guys , mainly IB types, but you'll overhear some traders

Both WFC North Tower; 250 Vesey St NYC

Ulysses - all the way down Maiden Lane , near South Street seaport - NYC; Goldman hangout

Also a great bet is the WFC - Colgate ferry line...while waiting for the boat - you will overhear many trading converstions -- guys carrying chart books/ position sheets , mostly Oil traders, but you may run into NY specs, and other market types

And don't forget Jersey City ..

Lighthorse Tavern -- Washington Avenue -- many FX dealers from Prebon , mostly all Brit,all loaded, and all loaded :)

Merchant, Grove Street, you will usually run into guys from Pershing across the street, and possibly some guys from MS

Also good bets are bars around 525 Washington Ave, like Dorrians.
 
Quote from ChiBondKing:

Blarney stone in nyc used to, but not too much anymore.


The Blarney Stone? Isn't there a Blarney Stone every 1,500 feet in Manhatten? I have seen a few of them.


Forget the Manhole, all the fun is at the Blue Oyster.


Jersey City also has Rosy Radigans, where you can find some traders hanging out. They gotta do something in the early afternoon when they are done trading cotton.
