Overview

This West Village basement houses on of New York's best piano and showtune bars. On weekends the crowd can veer toward mostly straight, but weekdays expect a gay old time.

A below-ground bar with a hot piano and deep roots in the gay West Village.

I was appaled
A good friend told me how much fun this bar was. On the way to the bar he told me about the staff using cocaine in the basement, how they have sex with each other in the basement and how the manager of the place hates him. It sounded like a loser place to go. When I arrived I saw the crowd was bent on public displays of affection, and the piano player was visibly high. Hard to play well like that. It turned out to be a cluster fuck of the lame and low class.
