I was with my mother and her boyfriend on a very hot weekend day. We were walking downtown from our loft in the Coogan building to see a movie. <br /> It was one those days so hot you think you are going to puke. So what do you do? Stop for an alcoholic libation. I remember the abrupt change of temperature made me feel faint as did the sudden dark illusion I had time traveled several decades, at least, into the past. <br />Thank you, Peter and Brooks, for the memory as well the info about the bar and it's interesting denizens.<br /><br />Also the comment that the staff there was:" diverse—most of the waiters (all men) were gay, the kitchen was Chinese, the bartenders were straight and the busboys were Egyptian" reminded me almost exactly of the staff at Dish of Salt restaurant (also now gone) where I worked a few years later.

I passed by the place many a time, impressed by its classic old-time entrance, but never stopped in.
