The Scene
A successful blend of opulence and kitsch, the Slipper Room provides a welcome twist to the East Village scene. What sets this glitzy retro lounge apart from the host of other cosmo-slinging, PR-girl-on-cellphone-glutted boites currently dominating Orchard Street is an honest-to-God commitment to quality cabaret.
The Draw
The star of the Slipper Room's self-proclaimed "Vegas/Victorian" aesthetic is the velvet-curtained, gorgeously gold-trimmed stage itself. The Slipper Room plays host to both local and more widely-known cabaret acts, including Scotty the Blue Bunny and *BOB*, as well as the song stylings of owners Camille and James.

The entrance is tucked around the corner from its address. There's a $5 cover charge and Heinekens are $6. You know it's not an ordinary strip bar... and it's not. Because alcohol is served, pasties are required. But so far, there is no prohibition against fun. The "girls" look like they're enjoying themselves. It's all firmly tongue in cheek. If you come with a sense of humor, you'll have a great time. If you come for THAT KIND OF entertainment, you'll be disappointed. --Drink Club NYC is a roving group of NYC Drinkers

the crowd is mostly annoying birthday parties. this is not burlesque. its not much more than a skanky strip club. maybe the 2nd and 3rd acts get better? the first was AWFUL. the MC was funny and the bartendar was nice though. Save your $5 cover and put it towards a real show.

Well, the space is nice, but the owner would rather go in the bathroom and tweak out than take care of his performers. He seems to run this place for the sole purpose of hooking up with burlesque dancers and getting high, which in itself isn't a bad thing for him, but when it affects his acts, it could become troublesome. Beware if you are a band or performer that is booked here; if you have nothing to offer this pseudo-rich dude in his suit and bowler, you will be berated behind the curtain and certainly have a bad time performing. Perform at your own risk. He has a habit of double-booking, and when the act he "didn't" want shows up, he likes to flex his NYC bar-owner muscle and call you every name in the book. Completely unprofessional.
