In Short
A red glowing V-shaped bar meets exposed brick walls in this downtown den with the feel of an island nightspot. Despite the owners' iffy wordplay, they've succeeded in attracting one of the most ethnically mixed crowds in the city. French- and Portuguese-speaking guests join longtime East Villagers for sets of vibrant global music--spanning Latin, Turkish and Afro-beat tunes--as well as the warm digs and lively drinks.

This place is really small, but it's a good place to meet friends for a nice chat. Very low key crowd.

Great neighborhood spot where live & dj world music (including Afro/Hindi/Carib beat) connect folks with East Village mix (all welcomed to the heat). Gracious host Chris and talented bartends including Toni, Carolyn & Jo keep it friendly.

After visiting many places in New York, LavaGina became by far one of my favorites. From the music to the drinks to the crazy screen showing bizarre films all the night... LaVagina is great ! Its atmosphera makes everi night different. I highly recommend it!
