Great place for quiet conversation.

by cafe_racer

Always one of my favorite places to go in the neighborhood if I am looking for a queit place to chill. The prices are cheap, especially the happy hour. $4 for a martini? Awesome. Plus, the bartenders are always friendly. The only problem is that sometimes they close early on a weekday.

• Pros: Cheap prices, great service.
• Cons: Can get crowded

Had a good time, but not really a gay bar

by jcocnca

Was on a visit and heard through Citysearch about this place. It is small in fact there where 3 other people in there plus the bartender. Being a Californian had a good time since 2 of the people were originally from California as well. Had great drinks (watermelon martini's) and good conversation. This is a small space (hey it's NYC) but had a good time just what was needed since I'm not into the whole bar scene. I asked about it being a gay bar and the bartender (I'm sorry I forgot here name, but she was GREAT! had too many martinis but it was a Wednesday night) she said it really isn't listed as a gay bar but all the clientele (3) were. If you want to talk, have some drinks at a good price, in a easy going environment, check it out before you move on.

service is everything

by kmd70

I happened into Cosmo with a few friends. The place was empty but the music was good(Van Lear Rose) so we stayed. Right off the bat the bartender made us feel welcome. I ordered a Martini from their drink list. I have to say it was done almost perfect. The bartender(Melody) was very engaging. My friends and I ended up staying for a lot longer than we would have if it wasn't for her. Some regulars came in and Melody made sure to introduce everyone and we all soon became friends. Not only is she pretty, she's smart, can make a pretty good Martini and makes everyone friends. We will be back because of her. Like I said service is everything.

• Pros: service, drinks
• Cons: empty, ventilation
