by Rudy Barboza on I have only been to one other Burlesque club before....in Scottsdale, AZ of all places....so I was not sure what to expect here. I heard this was a hard door....I found it quite hilarious that we were able to walk right in without a reservation....showing up early with only women, does help. Showing up early does have its benefits...hours on the stripper pole upstairs in the private room with your friends...I didn't realize those things actually spin around....strong cocktails followed by standing and waiting..... for the show to happen got a little old after the place started to fill up. I drank my $ 27 cocktail and bottle of water and waited. After the bigwigs and table full of models arrived, the show was ready to start. And interestingly scary, yet intriguing man-devil came out to host the show with a rendition of "you shook me all night long", followed by tap dancing Zorro spinning balls....I know.... lesbian burlesque and a she male with a black dildo getting crazy in front of the crowd. I was completely fascinated and intrigued. I am sure the experience would be a 5 star if you had a table. It is definitely worth checking out at least once...can't wait to go back.
by alex w. on I love this place. I used to come here more than once with an ex-girlfriend, and the memories linger. I also know it was one of the only bars in the area before the big building boom, and when SOHO was still for artists. I used to get a great steak dish, and the ex had a burger. It's like you've stepped into a movie set of a 'New York' place. Yeah, it's a dive-hole, but that's part of the charm. I feel like there's a good enough mix of the locals, tourists, outsiders etc. to give it up a thumbs-up. Good if you're driving home from upstate, on the West Side, and want to get dinner before making it back to Brooklyn.
