Editorial Review for Boiler Room – by Ben Widdicombe
The Scene
The vibe manages to stay young without lapsing into attitude; a major achievement. College boys, cowboys, East Village freaks and the occasional disoriented leather daddy all seem to coexist peacefully in this dark and smoky bar. Make friends over the pool table, or in an amiable debate about what's next on the jukebox. Dilapidated vinyl sofas in the bar's shadowy recesses are a great place to relax alone or with company.
The Draw
One of the few gay bars with Bass and Fosters beer on tap as an alternative to the omnipresent bottled Rolling Rock. In addition, the bar features drink specials every day and night. There's also a large, disabled-friendly restroom you can lock and have to yourself--talk about luxury.

Went to BR and loved it. They have a great "late night happy hour" special and the vibe is so relaxed. Nice bartenders, pool table, couches for lounging you can't go wrong!

My roomate had his 22nd birthday party there, and we all had a BLAST. On my 22nd and my friend's 24th joint birthday party that we had there, the bartenders put a sign out for us that announced that it our birthday, AND we basically got free drinks all night and even a time when the juke box turned off and i got a cupcake and everyone sang me happy birthday. Are you EVER going to find that a nasty chelsea bar? I don't think so. Richard and kevin the bartenders are GREAT, you will love them every time you go there!
Pros: cheap drinks, nice people, great service
