Starlight
http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/11350611
The Verdict:
This hip yet low-key East Village Gay bar hosts an intimate and
flirtatious scene, which is almost exclusively gay (85% men,
15% women). Upper West Side suits mingle with neighborhood
loungers and most of the smart-looking guests say their hellos
to at least 3 familiar faces at the bar.
The Scene:
With very few flamboyant Chelsea boys and butch dike chicks,
no drag queens and no sex in the bathrooms, at first glance,
the Starlight Bar and Lounge looks like a straight bar. But
although subtle, the pick up scene is definitely alive: This
is the place to find a boyfriend/girlfriend, rather than a
one-night stand.
The Space:
The front bar room has high ceilings, postmodern chandeliers
that look like a knot of plastic tubes, and golf-grass texture
canvases on the wall. Passed the velvet curtains reigns the
dim-lit, cozy lounge with corduroy sofas, DJ turntables spinning
funky music, and a small stage for Wednesday and Thursday night
performances.
