Profile

What could be more appropriate than a gay bar called Therapy? Granted, many of its patrons might be better off undergoing actual psychotherapy, but if you insist on drowning your sorrows away, this voluminous bi-level lounge is a great place to do it, in style.

Upstairs, there's another sitting area, arranged cabaret-style, with tiny bistro tables and low-lying sofas facing a modest stage. In addition to cleverly named house cocktails such as the Freudian Sip and Pavlov's Dog, there's also bar food, like potato skins and mushroom dumplings. At least that's one appetite you can count on satisfying here—when it comes to the hordes of hot boys, you're on your own. — Sean Kennedy
