The Girl from Ipanema
Descending the stairs to this narrow, subterranean bar, you’ll see tinted mirrors lining the ceiling and walls, and blue fluorescent lighting that has the feeling of a strip club. The predominantly male clientele and scantily clad barmaids do nothing to dispel this image. Middle-aged men hunched over at the long bar look to have just crept down for a drink after a fight with the missus, and the few late 20-something men shooting pool in the back are not the types you’d bring home to mother. Transplanted to the LES, this environment just might become second home to a slew of hipsters looking to dodge the mainstream; in the current location, it feels like an early ’80s dive bar where the men who sat in on opening night are still lingering over drinks.

If your are a guy looking for nothing more than a few drinks while ogling some cutish scantily clad pudenda, give it a shot

YOU are so wrong

do you even know those people that you just critized ? by the way they look doesnt mean thats how they are . ive been there and the atmosphere is wonderful. nothing like a strip club i dont know what gave you that impression. this bar is a brazilian bar. so the atmosphere is latin and hispanic men. and guess what most of them are friends and theyve been gathering there for years just to hang out . so why dont you get your story straight before you write a poor review .

Disappointing

Went for a lunch time beer Mar 27. Bartender spoke poor English, was 30 pounds overweight, wore jeans and a turtleneck. Not exactly a strip club atmosphere. More of a Bario local.
