The space formerly occupied by Tonic has been since replaced by two bars, the more upscale SoHo East upstairs and the less pretentious, country-themed Daisy Dukes downstairs. They tend to play Northeasterner-friendly country (think Shania Twain) and have a good selection of moderately-priced drinks.

Their main attraction, besides girls in tied-off flannel shirts, is the mechanical bull prominently featured in the center of the bar. As of this writing, patrons can purchase a ride for $5. For $10, however, one may attempt to ride the bull for 11 seconds, and if successful, win a $50 bar tab. On any given night, it is not uncommon to see two or three people win the bar tab— and see a dozen or more get tossed in a matter of seconds.

A cover charge of $3 gains entry to Daisy Dukes, A-Pub Live and the upstairs SoHo East.

There is also a new-ish location in Webster, across the street from the AMC Loews Webster. It is a near-replica of the downtown location, including mechanical bull.
