It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Remember how in elementary school there was always something to do during recess? Kickball, monkey bars, and swings provided innocent fun. Well, in adulthood, I go to Slate, one of the coolest bars in Chelsea. This swanky hot spot has pool tables, arcade games, and a 20 ft. slide. You read that right, a slide!
The 16,000 square foot space means ample space for lounge-style seating, so you and your friends can get comfortable.
On Fridays and Saturdays, there is a live DJ, essentially turning the bar into a nightclub (but you’ll need tickets). There are also karaoke nights, comedy shows, and live performances. Keep an eye on the online calendar to stay on top of the schedule, or just visit for kicks and giggles since this is one of the most unique bars in Chelsea.
