*Description Courtesy of CitySearch*
This tiny, poorly ventilated lounge on a rather desolate, trash-heavy street on the Lower East Side might be one of downtown's most beloved drink and dance destinations. On any night of the week, lounge kings, college students, artists and regular funk freaks pour into the space to get a glimpse of local art adorning the brick walls, and a taste of the soulful, mostly hip-hop oriented sound selection provided by a rotating roster of DJs. Given the club's rather intimate ambience, any night seems crowded, but bar goers will have the hardest time squeezing in from Wednesday to Sunday. Saturday night's "Lil' Bobcat 2000" has been going since the space opened; DJ Pete Rock kicks off the evening with some classic funk and finishes strong with hip-hop, R&B, reggae and a touch of salsa.
Most of the lounge's acclaim comes from its straight hook-up scene. You'll definitely rub up against somebody at least once in this tightly packed room, and if you're lucky, you'll end up in the bathroom for seven minutes. |
