Beer, wine or cocktails?
Cocktails
[Ed. note: We're particularly fond of the lychee martini, ourselves.]
What could I order that will get me laughed right out of the bar?
You can't get laughed out of the bar.
Whew! (This seems to be a company policy of sorts -- Juan Carlos at Happy Ending, owned by the same folks, told us the same thing!)
Who has been your favorite celebrity patron?
Um . . . I don't know. There are soooo many. (Sighs, then laughs.)
[Noteworthy: Double Happiness offers two for one drinks from 6pm to 7:30pm weekdays, and is reportedly a great make-out spot. We were not so lucky that night, as we were hanging out with married guys and Londonist (apparently spoken for as well). Maybe next time.]
Double Happiness, 173 Mott Street at Broome, (212) 941-1282.

Hands down, the best make-out spot in the city. You gotta get there early to claim the booth with the beaded curtain--total privacy. It's the best.
I know a couple who met at Double Happiness. They are now married!
Not to be a hater (cuz I have enjoyed the bar) but wasnt DH's moment in the sun a few years ago? Why the suddent new interest?
Ms. A, does that mean you personally had the chance to make out in the aforementioned booth? Yowza! Jen -- that's a great story!
Max -- no sudden new interest, really. Ask Your Bartender bar selections are made based on the following incredibly scientific criteria: 1) I'm there; 2) I'm not so trashed that I can't write down answers to questions. Gothamist Food may have some actual bar reviews in the not-too-distant future -- is this a feature you'd like to see?
Those sound like good criteria to me. Reviews are always fun, so go to it (may require limiting alcoholic intake). Could suggest themes: "how can this place still be open" (on those odd bars that remain empty yet open), "does any one here actually live in manhattan?" (B&T hotspots), "is any one here over 30? (Bleeker Street), etc. If you need a stenographer/drink fetcher, I'm your man.
