It's been a good long while since I was last there. But when I went, it was fun. Had a few beers before heading downstairs to do my thing. I'm not picky. It helps if you are hard. I like hard. It was late when I was done. Stumbled home. End of story. Do need to go there again.
Loved it. It’s teeny but has a great happy hour! So cute!
Strong cheap drinks but the locals can be a little rude and unfriendly.
Very Friendly Crowd
I visited from South Dakota. The crowd was friendly and diverse, the staff were friendly. The dancer on the bar was hot. Perry the bartender/owner was very nice, learned my name and hooked me up with free drink. The DJ, Dylan, was cute and flirty, and nearly naked. Brian, the dancer, new how to work the crowd. He was still friendly and chatty even after his shift. Skylar, the other dancer, had a fan club. The local customers introduced themselves, and made me feel like part of the group. I had a great time, definitely checking in again next time I'm in NYC.
Tool Box
I understand the place is under new ownership. I hope this local gay bar returns to its glory days
