Worst place on the planet. Basically people approaching you downstairs offering their bodies for money: What a disgusting establishment to the community. On top of that.. the rudeness is off the charts. Avoid this place. There’s plenty of other places to go in nyc. I would NOT give a star if I could and still submit this review.

The best gay piano bar in NYC. Martin St Lawrence and Dan Daly are amazingly talented piano players
