What we say
A formal lounge for older gentleman and their admirers.
This east side institution feels more like an old time upscale gentleman's club than a bar. There's lots of sitting areas for conversation, nice large bars and music is in the background. You're also bound to find a few younger guys who "depend on the kindness of strangers".

Just a lovely place for the more mature crowd, not someone looking for pounding music and strippers. Relaxing and quite enjoyable, it is a nice change of pace from the crazy world outside.

I found myself here one night when visiting NY. I had a great night, drinking, chatting & listening to the piano. The atmosphere is great, the staff were freindly and I it has been one night I shall always remember from my visit to NY. So what if someone hits on you, I was. It was subtle and flattering. Give it a go!

Upscale bar with a friendly older crowd. I often end the night here listening to the piano after Oscar Wildes.

The reviews of Townhouse run the gamut, from total negative to nice, indeed. As a Gay man well into his fifties, my POV is far from the earlier review which stamped Townhouse as a place for rather 'vile' aging trolls. I've spent several delightful evenings here, both with a partner and solo. When alone, I wasn't there to 'troll' for the younger guys, merely to have a couple of drinks, listen to the piano, and relax. Which I did. Haven't noticed many older guys hitting on and making life miserable for the younger guys. It may happen, but I haven't seen it. I'd suggest giving Townhouse a chance, seeing for yourself..
