One part H.R. Geiger-esque gallery (the "Alien" designer's art graced the walls when the bar first premiered), one part understated DJ bar and one part hype that materializes in the night's darkest hours, Lit in its finest moments is, well, smoking hot. Intended to fund the Fuse Gallery in back while serving a like-minded, creative clientele, it attracts an alt-glam crowd of B-side artists, actors and indie filmsters.

I Really Appreciate This Bar
by ThatDudeYouBanned
Really, thank you so much :) I can't thank you enough for showing me your hatred and banning me from your bar. I will make sure I recommend every friend of mine who is new to NYC not to go anywhere near your institution with a 100-foot pole, because of your discrimination policies and cold demeanor towards customers who have done nothing but great and consistent business with you guys over the years. Much appreciated. Have a good day- I'm sure I'll see you around.
Sincerely,
That Dude Who You Banned.
- Cons: This bar is discriminatory towards anyone the bouncer has doubts about
