The Honey Well
The space is retro-inspired: lava lamps, shag carpet, and wood-paneled walls bathed in golden light. It channels a '70s basement party in the best possible way. There's a backyard, too—a rare treat for an underground spot—making it easy to settle in and stay awhile. The warm, welcoming, and effortlessly stylish atmosphere also extends to the tone-setting playlists.
Cocktails here are pure pleasure. Every drink is highly photogenic, but more importantly, they're all genuinely delicious. And the menu is sizeable, so cocktail dabblers don't need to feel put on the spot. The Dave's Lookin' Ass, for example, is a citrusy rum stunner that's as fun to order as it is to sip. If you're overwhelmed, don't worry: the excellent bartenders are happy to help; just tell them what kind of drink you're feeling and they'll take care of the rest.
The food is no afterthought: tasty, satisfying, and perfect for soaking up the booze without slowing the vibe. There are options for pescatarians, vegans, and anyone with a sweet tooth.
Not one, but two posted happy hours sweeten the Honey Well: daily from 4–6pm and late-night Fridays and Saturdays from midnight to 2am.
The Honey Well is, undoubtedly, one of the coolest bars in Harlem. It's so cool, in fact, that you'll probably need a reservation. But once you're in, chill out. You're in great hands.

Yungblud reflects on how Ozzy Osbourne shaped his life
Rocker Yungblud has reflected on his tribute to the late Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne at the singer's farewell show in Birmingham in July. Yungblud praised Osbourne as his "North Star" and a symbol of individualism, saying the older singer was a constant presence in his life. His performance of the Black Sabbath song "Changes" at the Villa Park event received widespread acclaim for introducing the heavy metal pioneer to younger generations. Yungblud said he was nervous before the performance, but 'I knew it was an opportunity to show the world how much I love rock and how much I love Ozzy Osbourne'. The singer spoke to The Independent at the premiere of his documentary, Yungblud: Are You Ready, Boy?, which will hit cinemas later in August.

Bonnie Blue Instagram mystery as star vanishes hours after Ibiza Final Boss video
Controversial adult star Bonnie Blue vanished from Instagram just hours after posting an awkward video with 'Ibiza Final Boss' Jack Kay - and it's not the first time she's vanished from the platform Bonnie Blue vanished from Instagram just hours after posting a video with 'Ibiza Final Boss' Jack Kay. The controversial adult star - who has so far been banned from OnlyFans, a football stadium and Australia over her extreme and potentially dangerous sex stunts - went dark on the social media platform today, with her once verified account unavailable for hours. It's not the first time Bonnie has disappeared from Instagram. Earlier this year, her account on the Meta-owned platform went dark, as well as her TikTok page. The star's page has now dramatically returned, but it's unclear whether the Instagram account was banned or removed. It comes as 'Ibiza Bob' launches his music career with a cheeky single. The sex worker is notorious for using rage bait as the cornerstone of her marketing strategy, making any move away from social media a shock decision. She recently admitted in a divsive Channel 4 documentary about her life that she uses multiple different accounts on each platform to spam users with content designed to outrage viewers and drive engagement. She also boasted about mocking and belittling women in her posts. PR expert Sophie tells The Mirror of her social media scheme: "Her use of rage-baiting and hostility towards other women may also point to internalised misogyny or a competitive survival strategy in a space where attention equals power. "Publicly belittling others can offer a temporary illusion of control or superiority – especially when self-worth is closely tied to external validation, views, or notoriety." The mystery Instagram snub comes shortly after Bonnie's strange meet-up with viral Geordie raver Jack Kay. In a wince-worthy video from the Ibiza get together, Jack is seen with his arm draped around Bonnie as he faces away from her. Another moment shows the duo awkwardly making conversation, stood noticeably far away from each other. Following their encounter, Bonnie said in a now-deleted clip: "It was my shortest video yet. I was shocked how nervous he was." Bonnie has become notorious for taking part in extreme sex stunts, including sleeping with 1,057 men in the space of just 12 hours. And in recent months, her troubling career ambitions escalated to the point where OnlyFans, the site where she made a name for herself, decided she was no longer a good fit. The final straw came in June, when the 26-year-old announced her plans to hold a human "petting zoo challenge". The stunt would have seen Bonnie locked in a glass cage as strangers came to do "whatever they wanted" to her. In Channel 4 's show '1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story' - which sparked hundreds of Ofcom complaints - Nottinghamshire-born Bonnie boasted: "I am going to be completely helpless, tied down, gagged, choked". OnlyFans had concerns about this stunt, which it claims was in violation of their Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service, and issued a permanent ban. Campaigners and other sex workers have long called for the website to take action against Bonnie's stunts but it continued to platform her until very recently. Confirming the permanent ban in a statement, an OnlyFans spokesperson previously said: "Extreme challenge content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service. "Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation… This is why it has been necessary to take this action. We always act when users breach our terms of service." For Bonnie, who claims to have earned millions through the site, it was a huge blow. Shortly after the ban, she accused the OnlyFans of acting inconsistently and bowing to peer pressure. She claimed: "OnlyFans took unprecedented action by banning me for making content, while multiple other creators are mimicking my entire marketing techniques and events." Adding that she ensures all safety checks are in place at her events, Bonnie continued: "If I didn't have the platform I have for the hard work I've done, I don't think they would have battered an eyelid, as proven with all of these other creators.' This isn't the only time Bonnie has been hit with a strict ban. Earlier this year, Bonnie told the Daily Star that she'd been marched off the premises of Nottingham Forest Football Stadium last October and permanently barred. She alleged: "I didn't understand why, because I'd not actually done anything. Even in my TikToks leading up to the game, I never said I wanted to have sex, do any half-time bonking, nothing. I just said: 'Hey, I'm going to be at the Nottingham game'. "When you go to football, you've got football hooligans, people fighting, drinking, you've got so much bigger things to be concerned about, and they were just like - no, you're banned." Bonnie is also banned from Australia after her plans to sleep with 18-year-old boys for content during 'Schoolies Week' infuriated Aussie parents. A 20,000-strong petition ensued, and her visa was revoked. Whether or not Bonnie has been banned from Instagram has yet to be seen.

Vince McMahon claims Hulk Hogan 'wasn't racist' but 'said some racist things'
Vince McMahon has acknowledged Hulk Hogan 'said some racist things', but insisted that doesn't mean the late WWE was 'a racist'. The former WWE chief has opened up about his longtime friend – who died on July 24 aged 71 following a cardiac arrest – in a very rare interview weeks after his death. It marks McMahon's first public chat since resigning from WWE's parent company TKO amid a lawsuit accusing him of sex trafficking and sexual assault, which he has denied. In TMZ Presents: The Real Hulk Hogan, the 79-year-old businessman reflected on Hogan's 2015 scandal when he was heard using racist language in a tape leaked 10 years to the day before his death. Speaking about why he brought Hogan back to WWE in 2018 after cutting ties with him over the footage, he said: 'I knew he wasn't a racist, I'd been with him for so many years. 'He wasn't a racist. He said some racist things, and he should pay for that, and he did. But in the end, I think that everyone saw the real Hulk Hogan, Terry Bollea and they felt: ''Wait a minute. This guy, he doesn't act like a racist, he's not a racist.' We all make mistakes. That was a big one, but he wasn't a racist.' In the recording leaked in 2015, Hogan was heard ranting about his daughter Brooke dating a Black man, and told a friend: 'I am racist, to a point' while using racist slurs. Regarding the recording, McMahon admitted: 'It was unforgivable and I was aghast, 'What happened?' When those things occurred, that's not like him. 'What in God's name is going on?' 'As soon as it happened, obviously, the company didn't have anything to do with him anymore. We took him out of the Hall of Fame. You just don't do those things.' Hogan was brought back into the fold three years later, and made occasional appearances over the last seven years. His final WWE TV appearance came in January, when he was loudly jeered and booed by fans, with many feeling he hadn't done enough to atone for the racism storm. McMahon said of the appearance and crowd reaction: 'It wasn't set up properly. I'm sure he was probably despondent after that. 'I was angry because we've known each other for a lifetime, professionally and personally. And setting up, so to speak, this larger than life superhero, you don't just let him walk out there.'

McMahon added: 'It's just like, okay, here comes Hulk Hogan. I got angry because that's not the way I would have done it and he deserved much more.' Elsewhere in the documentary, McMahon revealed his reaction to Hogan's death. 'You just don't think about someone, a family member or someone that close to you, you don't think about them passing away,' he said. More Trending 'Terry had kicked out, so to speak, of so many surgeries… and, you know, he overcame that. It was a tremendous shot. It was a blow to my heart.' On the day Hogan died, before the news broke, McMahon was involved in a car crash on a Connecticut highway. He was accused of causing the accident, which left his Bentley wrecked and two other cars damaged, while no one was injured in the incident.
