Boiler Room

The Boiler Room has gone in and out of fashion over its boozy East Village life, but it's currently back in vogue with a vengeance, pulling in a cute and wild mix of party people of all types, from hillbillies to hipsters (though it's often hard to tell the difference these days). The jukebox is loaded with eclectic gay favorites, and there's always action on the pool table. It's all a little rough around the edges, and that's part of its charm, but keep an eye on your belongings.
