The Scene
An ingenious, two-tiered bar--high on one side, low on the other, with untold cruising sightlines--dominates this space, whose mirrors and plasma screens help open up its railroad layout. Ultrasuede banquettes, creamy pillows and a conversation-friendly DJ also make it easy to spend time here. Nightly attractions (in addition to the clientele) include Ass Wednesdays with prize money for the best butt, as well as go-go boys on weekends.

This place has a very lounge feel, then there are go go boys which are kind of out of place. The drinks are typical for NY.

The reason the bartender doesn't know the difference between a lime and a lemon is because he is one of the many Colombians, that have come to this country and never bothered to learn English. By the way, his Spanish is not understandable either, I'm from Spain, don't you think I would know??

great large space. interesting layout that has potential. downstairs bathroom area is filthy. No attitude detected the few times i was there. I ordered dietcoke with lime and consistently received lemon. If you dont have lime just say so. The decor is bla and the bartenders are okay. No big deal.
