We're still not sure
what's going on with the bar naming in NYC. Wouldn't you be scared
to go to this place if you didn't read this nice review here first?
We're thinking S&M parlor or lesbian vampire joint. It's neither.
What we have here is a plain old, laid back bar with your basic exposed
brick and wood interior. Out back is a nice outdoor space with benches
and low-hanging foliage. The interior, with its giant, round chandeliers,
gives you the feeling that King Arthur and his pals might be riding
in any minute. If they did, there'd be plenty of beer to drink, low
lighting for that romantic raping and pillaging mood and a mixture
of attractive folks to recruit for the crusades. (Yes, I know this
doesn't make any sense.) Unlike all those UES bars and East Village
haunts, the management here actually values conversation and doesn't
try to deafen you with the tunes (a seriously overlooked plus). Mr.
Hipster can see himself going back to this joint sometime soon. It's
always a good sign when you can picture yourself at the bar (unless,
of course, it's during work.) Oh, and you may want to pee before coming
here, as the bathroom situation is a real mess when it gets crowded.
