Comments - Appeared it was reaching for something, but not quite achieving it. Music less than desirable. Crowd was decent, most appearing to be in groups of four or more. Nice exposed brick walls. - A.R.

While it's way downtown on 1st and 1st, this dark bar has a energy you can feel inside it. Maybe its the live DJ spinning the some of the best hip-hop music I've heard in a while on the main floor, or the brightly colored mosaic walls downstairs with another DJ spinning and a small bar for the crowd down there. The service is a little slow but if you can get one of your friends to get the drinks you can relax on one of the many plush comfy couches this bar has to offer... - D.M.

There is a cool new party on Tuesdays.  The DJ's play old school everything. Not as crowded as the weekends.  A nice relaxing night with all the hits of the past. And its FREE too. (you need ID to get in).  I love the soft light from all the candles (very intimate) -

642 Tenth Ave. (between 45th & 46th St.) 7.5 9.0 7.2 9.2

Comments - What a well kept secret this place is. Long bar, lounge in the back & the most beautiful bar bathroom I've ever seen. - J.M.

One of the many new spots that is revitalizing the Hell's Kitchen nightlife scene. The dark, candlelit lounge area in the rear is quite cozy. The bathroom here is nicer than in many people's homes! Who would ever expect to see a chandelier in a the bathroom of a Hell's Kitchen bar? - S.M.

Still on an out-of-the-way stretch of 10th Ave. (although maybe not for much longer), this place has some of the best decor I've seen. Be sure to check out the ceiling above the bar as well as the private booths in the back.   During the traditional Happy Hour, this place can feel deserted, but a little later at night you can find anything from trendier locals to post-theater crowd to lesbian make-out sessions.  Be sure to order one of the oddly compelling blue drinks they serve in a martini glass. - J.S.L.

This dark, cozy little bar tucked between 45th and 46th Streets on 10th Avenue is great for a post-show drink or a long sit with friends over multiple cocktails. The staff is friendly (though service can be very slow after 10:30 P.M.) most nights when the place gets jumping, and the bathrooms are probably the cleanest you'll find in New York short of a 5-star hotel. The bar is, over all, 80% gay, and mostly gay men, although the stray straight or lesbian couple stumbles upon the scene now and then. There is very little attitude to be had here, a refreshing change. - A.Y.
