Profile

When theme bar diva Deb Parker bought this old-time beauty parlor, she kept many of its original furnishings, including Liberace-esque chandeliers and bulbous hair dryers. Everything's done with a curatorial eye for detail, which, appropriately, gives everyone that post-facial glow. "Everyone" in this case, is a laid-back bunch of hipster guys with The Haircut, hipster girls with The Boots and a good portion of both with The Glasses. And the bar ups its place-to-be ante with a $10 manicure and drink deal! Throw in cute bartenders and strong, cheap drinks, and you'll want to frequent the place as often as the little ol' ladies who once came in for their weekly blue rinse. — Jenifer Van Vleck

I used to be a regular here but the bouncer is a homophobe and wouldn't let my flamboyant (not drunk) friend in. I will never party at Beauty Bar again.

Twice was enough

The first time we went to Beauty Bar the dance floor was covered in glass by the end of the night. My friend cut her foot on the glass, but the bouncers were very helpful and got out a first aid kit right away. Our second time, we (and others) had to wait over half an hour to close our tab while the bartender posed for pictures and gossipped. So when my friend finally got her tab, she didn't leave a tip. Enraged, the bartender started screaming at my friend asking why she didn't leave a tip. Next she closed my tab, and added in a 20% tip for herself. Is that even legal? My tab was only $24!
