It’s too loud and horrifying and has too strange of hours. Will never go back. Neither should you ever go there in the first place. It should honestly get shut down.

This place is f@cking horrifying. Someone got shot here last week, I couldn’t get to my subway in the morning. True Story.
It’s closed during normal bar hours* (read, Friday nights at 8), but open at 3 am on a Tuesday.
Why not? Because I don’t want to die.

*on a serious note, the odd hours, permanently cracked glass front doors, and clear lack of patrons (it’s almost always empty… when it’s open), makes me think it’s a front of some sort.

Went to why not earlier today because it was too nice to not go out! I had the ahi tuna tartare that was delicious. It’s a nice appetizer portion that’s filling but light. If that makes sense. I paired it with a glass of rose from Provence. Over all great meal and excellent service! Highly recommended

Stopped in while waiting for my Chinese food. This bar is on a very busy street and is almost like a cool chill oasis from the hustle and bustle happening outside. The drink specials are awesome and the staff are welcoming and attractive :-) on the corner of Bedford and Lafayette. … check it out…
