Classy Gay Piano Bar
From Palm Springs, California...I visited this bar in NY this past June. What a beautiful bar!! Good looking men with good looking clothes. Age of most people was around 45 to 55, but they all looked great! Very friendly crowd. A bar "not to miss" if you like class.

Mixed Nuts
This is not strictly a gay bar but a mixed bar that also caters to straights and many tourists of all persuasions. Downstairs is a piano bar where you will hear doo wop a lot, sung by singers who do not need microphones in such a small space but use them anyway -- I am surprised the staff is not deaf! Upstairs is a more intimate and much gayer lounge which is very friendly and even cruisy at times. This is a good place to party with straight friends. Friendly staff and atmosphere. They also have a small theater where they put on shows. Basically a nice place if you are not expecting a strictly gay ambiance. HEADS UP: The upstairs lounge is very gay during week nights but is pretty much straight, with bar maids, on the week ends. Go to The Monster instead.
