Townhouse

Even thou it has seen better days, it is still great going to the Townhouse, nice older crowd, wonderful piano bar. Real Classy!

I stopped in last Friday. I was in the City after a week at a work training. I had scheduled a night in NYC as a treat before heading back to Maine. I had a ball. The people were very friendly and the piano gave me a nice smile. I immediately joined in the singing. Later I wandered around and found the downstairs bar and met a very sweet hot man named Jim. We went upstairs and sang some more before heading off to my hotel. Couldn't ask for a better night.

I have been going to the Townhouse for many years, going back to the early 80's. I was also a regular at the Townhouse restaurant when I was in NY, which I am sorry to say is no longer there. The Townhouse was always a must for me when in New York. I loved the gentlemen's club feel. You could not beat the great showtunes at the piano. A very handsome and mixed age crowd. Most often I would go there alone and go back to my hotel alone having had a great relaxing end to my evening. Occasionally, I would meet someone and enjoy spending a great evening with them. I had not been to the Townhouse for about five years. I went back about two weeks ago. I was very disappointed. Last call in the room with the piano was at about 1:00a.m. (instead of 3:00a.m.), the crowd was sparse. The service was not great. When they closed the room with the piano I decided to have a couple of drinks at the front bar. I had never had a drink there before. I was really unhappy to realize that the front bar was a hustler bar. I guess that few things last forever. After going there for over twenty years, I will never go back. I am not into hustlers, but if I was, the ones that evening looked tired. I will miss the Townhouse.

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!
