The Monster
Walk in at street level to the piano bar/lounge which retains its historic charm. Don't let the vintage decor discourage you, pull up a stool and the friendly crowd and fun singers will have you hooked. For a change of pace, work your way downstairs to find drag shows and a dance floor.

Add a reviewStrong Drinks, Hot Dancers, Late Nights
This is one of the few bars that actually stays open til 4am every night of the week (well, 3:50). They always have hot dancers downstairs (even the lesbian night hires a male dancer). Upstairs is usually more low-key with conversation around the bar and showtunes and standards around the piano. Drag performances, dance parties, disco nights, and Manster Saturdays are all highlights every week for this West Village legend.
Faded Glory
This place has certainly seen better days.You should also beware of the low rent rent boys who hand out downstairs. Go to The Stonewall Inn you'll have a better time with a better class of clientele.
