Come for the happy hour, stay for the burlesque. Lovely, chill and usually nice and empty during the week. Perfect date bar. Gets a little bridge and tunnel on the weekend.

Good music and a great happy hour. The ideal stop for a second round of $4 draft beers and well drinks (until 10p some nights)!
Amanda CMay 5, 2012
Bartender(s) are always super sweet and free pizza during happy hour on Wednesdays (or sometime midweek) Either way a must drink joint in LES

Great burlesque Wednesday and Thursday. Get the Pimms cup and hang. Fun spot.

The one Burlesque place in the city where I have yet to see the actual show. Although that's a stretch, I actually haven't seen that many. This place is tiny but cute. Good vibes only.

performers have a great attitude. show them some love! the more you engage, the more the performers will, and the better the show.

The Mistress: high proof bourbon with marshmallow root, vanilla, brown sugar, and notes of dark rum, over ice

This is a charmingly small and lively spot for a drink. Fun decor and often they serve a drink or cocktail of the night for half price.
Conrad Greiner-BechertMay 10, 2017
Cozy atmosphere and expensive beverages. Sometimes there's also Burlesque apparently and supposedly very good quality shows from what I hear.
Diana ShankarAugust 6, 2016
Drinks are strong and delicious. Lovely pin-up decor, amazing happy hour specials and really good music
Steff HindSeptember 27, 2014
The cocktails actually tasted good and weren't over powered by the alcohol, good music and not too crowded

Burlesque show is great and the host is hysterical (and an amazing singer!) Place is tiny tiny tiny and super cramped though..

A true LES treat. Highly recommend any bartender's recommendation. A staple in the neighborhood.
Martin MostrømOctober 13, 2017
Cosy and nice place. When the burlesque is on the place turns crazy and is totally packed. But worth a visit
Chris PolloneMarch 25, 2018
Cute little bar. Came here with an acquaintance on what happened to be burlesque night, so just be aware of that. Lol.
Amruta BugeJuly 31, 2015
Ask if they have any specials. The bartender made a really delicious vodka special for my friend and I for super cheap!
Jackson IsaacsonJune 10, 2015

The ambience & the music. Loved it!

Great show om a small and cosy bar.

It's a tight knit space, but when surrounded by burlesque cuties Honi Harlow (Wednesdays) and Calamity Chang (Thursdays), you don't mind the lack of space. The drinks are good as well.
Vanessa RuedaSeptember 2, 2016
best burlesque show in town. Their hostess is amazing
Ahsap VoliamzeeDecember 27, 2011
Very special place for certain kind of people(local hipsters and artistic personalities).Get into the mood and just chill

Grab a beer on a table outside (only in summer).

Cozy but get there first, and claim your seat. Small space

One of the best LES bars for music both live and just over the system. Joe Z the bartender makes it vibe.

Everything is great here. I love this place.
DeeJuly 25, 2015
Free burlesque shows! But it's super tiny and super crowded. But burlesque!

Though the bartenders hate making 'em, the cocktails on their house list are yummy. My fave: ginger margarita
Amalia HohbergerMay 3, 2012
Amazing find. $4 for one drink, second one for free with check in. And burlesque on Wednesday nights
JenKuduAugust 25, 2012
Try the summer seasonal beer.. Watermelon! It's great for a steamy night ;)

If you're lucky and particularly of awesome ilk, you might meet some assassins here.

Love the free burlesque show hosted by Shelly the Singing Siren

Extremely rude waitress and owner. We came in for a birthday party and were shouted at by the waitress who was just starting her shift just for being in the way (in a crowded bar).

Cocktail was balanced and brilliant

If you can do a hand stand, apparently you can score a free Guinness. Not certain this is bar policy. Results may vary, bitches.
Brian SearlOctober 17, 2010
Small little local bar that is mostly frequented by locals. Large doors open to the street and the atmosphere is great.
Felipe BarrientosSeptember 28, 2013
Make sure to close your tab before you leave. If not you'll have to get your credit card the next day.
Khoa MaMarch 20, 2016
