Hogs and Heifers
Hogs and Heifers Saloon is a bar located in the Meatpacking District of New York City that opened in 1992. A second location was opened in downtown Las Vegas adjacent to the Fremont Street Experience.
History
After a drunk patron started a tradition by throwing her bra onto the bar, the New York Hogs and Heifers' walls and ceilings are now covered with approximately 18,000 bras, including one from Julia Roberts, whose photo is also on the wall. Allan said that he wanted the walls to be covered in stuff and the bar to have the look and feel of a gin mill.[1]
Hogs and Heifers' waitresses, and some patrons, originally danced on the bar, but in 1997 the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs raided and briefly closed the establishment for violating a regulation that required a cabaret license in order to permit dancing.[1][2][3]
