Despite CBGB's new mantra as a tourist haven, the New York punk scene lives on at Manitoba's, owned by Dick Manitoba, minor rock God and former lead singer for Dictator. If there're no bands thrashing around, the rough-and-tumble jukebox picks up the slack, and the photo collection serves as a tour through punk's history. In these (sniff) post-election days, Manitoba's would be a likely place to ignite a surging anarchy movement.
Great People both in front of and behind the bar. Rockin' jukebox. Excellent prices all the time and especially during happy hour. Electronic Video/Trivia game. Owned by Handsome Dick Manitoba of the legendary punk band The Dictators. Amazing photos and memorabilia on the wall. Always a good time!

But you can still hit the Dictators' warbler up for a (stiff) drink when you stop by his place on Saturdays, provided you call him Richard (it's his name) and, oh yeah, give him money (fame doesn't pay the bills).
