Mirabar

The new location kind of sucks. It's much less fun, much fewer people. Also, FYI girls, it's strictly a "gay" and not lesbian bar. But the bloody mary (amazing, and a good bargain to boot) and friendly people are redeeming enough for 3 stars.

Mirabar has moved!  Its on elbow street where the call, the spot,  and jewel used to be.  The space is beautiful!  Of course it is much different then the old building but it is nice.  Big bar, stage, lounge area with fireplace, and a pool table.  This bar and the people that go there, little boys at night aside, are awesome and heterosexual friendly.  I am quite straight and they never make me feel uncomfortable or that I don't belong.  Especially Jack behind the bar, he is great.  He recommended The ROI next door to eat, later on we went and quite a few guys from the bar were over there eating.  I guess that block has locked down fun and hospitality.  Hope they do a block party this year!  Awesome!

My disclaimer is that we did not actually get in.  Yes I am a New Yorker, a woman, and love to go dancing with my gay boys.  They are the best kind of boy really-they get me, give me tons of affection, think I'm stunningly beautiful even in scrubs when I wake up in the morning, and expect nothing but my unconditional adoration.  Easy.

Again, I digress.  

We came to Mirabar with the intent to dance the night away amongst beautiful men, but helas, we were ushered into a line on the left wall of the entrance and just stood there for 10 minutes.  

The place was NOT packed, and it just seemed arbitrary to me.  We waited with no prospect of entering the venue, while other people cruised by on our right, and started to shake their booties.  

I would have liked to give Mirabar a better review, but helas, they shunned me, and hence invoked my wrath...which I tend to express through Yelp.
