Overview

A welcome asset to a neighborhood in danger of losing its artistic soul. This unpretentious cabaret bar, draws a crowd to its nightly shows -- an eclectic mix of burlesque, trivia, comedy, jazz and blues. Well balanced and attractive with a Victorian style stage as a centerpiece, the bar plays host to a variety of social microsms fostered by its various environments around either the long bar, the booths, tables, or standing space. However you plan to spend your night there's a comfortable place for you here.

Why You Should Go

  • When the conversation dies you can always fall back on critiquing the  secondary sexual characterics of the current performer.
  • An alternative venue suprisingly short on pretense.
  • A great space, good for both meeting people or sitting with a group.

What You Should Know

  • Check the schedule before you go. It runs the gamut and the room is frequently rented for private parties.
  • The crowd can vary hugely in gay/straight mix depending on the show.
  • Can be a $3-$5 cover depending on night and time - almost always worth every penny.

Life is a cabaret, old chum: a boisterous, pansexual one on the Lower East Side.

This Orchard Street spot adds a dash of genuine show-biz glitz to the L.E.S. bar scene.
