From dance parties to live bands to poetry, the scene here is as changeable as the giant lava lamp on the main bar. Blinds obscure the numerous windows on the cozy first level, making the disco ball the center of attention. Even upstairs, where dramatic white circles punctuate black leather couches, and the sleek bar appears to shift color, this club feels like a blast from the past.
For students from nearby NYU looking to burn off stress, it's the DJ dance parties offering everything from '60s rock to reggae. But while music might be the club's bread and butter, the spoken word is the true star of this venue. Monday nights feature an open mic, a reading by an invited poet and usually a slam. Drinks are two-for-one all night, though accompanied by annoyingly frequent requests for tips. The diverse, friendly crowd's passion for poetry is as contagious as the laid-back vibe. |
