Overview
A relaxed and attractive crowd occupy this seductive bar/lounge. They're drawn here by the excellent DJs, comfortable leather couches, tall ceilings, and low key ambience.
Why You Should Go
- The bar's wide enough that some friends can sit at the bar while others can stand, and no one is getting jostled.
- Despite the crush of humanity that plagues the LES on weekend nights Cafe Charbon always seems to have enough people to be interesting, but never seems to be over-crowded.
What You Should Know
- An area of well worn, yet comfortable leather couches is perfect for taking over with friends.
- Be aware that the shadow show created by the frosted glass and bright lights of the men's bathrooms mean that indiscretions therein will be telegraphed to the waiting line. To avoid repeats of Dallas cheerleader style brawls use the women's room for extracurricular activities.
