The Bar Coat Hook Hall of Shame
(I'll move this post to the top each time I update it.)
Come on people- send in your nominations!
Every bar top should have coat hooks beneath it. That way you don't have to try to hang your jacket off your bar stool under your butt, having it slip off half the time and getting dirty when you put your feet up.
Bar hooks seem like such a simple and necessary thing like toilet paper in the bathrooms or lemons in the garnish tray, yet there are many places that have not installed them. I'm constantly running my hands along the underside of bars feeling for the hooks and getting nothing but gum and boogers. This has to end!
It is up to us to shame these establishments into installing coat hooks. Together we can make a difference! Thus I present to you:

5/1/07 I went to check out Etiquette Lounge where they had no coat hooks, and they admitted to not having them at their other venue Element Lounge either.
5/15/07 Congratulations to Rye, where they finally installed coat hooks and made the bar a more comfortable experience for us all.

hear, hear!
Maybe it would be easier to champion those places that do have coathooks since there are so few in this town.
Late to the party but... when the man is right, the man is right.
Yes, yes, yes. This is my biggest pet peeve at bars!
I am suggesting this to a partner in a high end resturant syndicate in NYC. Great Idea!
Found you via Jeffrey Morgenthaler, and HAD to chime in about bar hooks, which are absolutely necessary to take your bar from "eh, it's good.." to "I love that place!".
Such a simple, easy touch to let us know you care about your customers, it's a shame most places don't do it.
"I'm constantly running my hands along the underside of bars feeling for the hooks and getting nothing but gum and boogers."
I've been in that situation more times than I'd like.
