You'd rather take your changes in a barrel

This bar is actually pretty cool right up until you order a drink. If you're lucky enough to have more than one bartender, I strongly advise you to stay away from the anorexic tattooed albino chick (aka Skeletor) - yes, the one with the red bird on her arm. Wow does she SUCK. Seriously, folks. Babe, take that two dollar tip and go by yourself a meat stick out on the corner - time and money better spent. Get rid of this girl and I might actually encourage my readers to spend some cash. Mr. Manager, as an owner of several drinking and eating establishments, I truly hope you take this to heart. It's all about generating the flow - and this girl is your logjam.

I went in search of the mural and found a great bar behind it. Inside it was very relaxed with a friendly bartender and friendly people sitting barside ,we stayed for a few hrs chatting ...the music was good and the vibe was great ......hated to leave.

good, but packed

Niagara is a really good bar, and they often have good music (and occasional art shows) downstairs. The downstairs gives you a little more breathing room, which is always nice. The drinks are sometimes a bit pricey. Good, but not great.

Go-Go Dancers AND an Umbrella in my drink?

Walking up to this place I did not expect what was inside at all. I thought I'd get a crowd of shagy haired hipsters or cap wearin' fratties, I was mistaken. Sure these types were in there but they weren't... overpowering. The crowd was actually pleasantly normal, even in the dark barren subterranean side room where I was sure I would run into something shady. The music down stairs was great to dance to even on the cramped dance floor and the music upstairs was real chill. To me this place had the best of both Manhattan bar scenes to offer, and I'm planning on going back very soon.

Downstairs is more fun!

The upstairs bar is nothing extra-ordinary, however the downstairs bar, Lei Lounge, is so much fun. Lei, which does open until midnight, is decorated in a tikki mortif and a more festive atmosphere. The D-J usually plays fun 80's music gets better as the night goes on. There was a female dancer who made people want to get on the dance floor when I went there. There are also little make-out nooks for hook-ups.
