Townhouse Restaurant Closed but Bar Open
Just thought I'd throw this info out there:
The Townhouse Restaurant, which had a bar in the front, has closed. It has been quite a fixture in New York on East 58th Street of Third Avenue.
The Townhouse Bar is very much open and stronger than ever (a little farther east on 58th Street than the Restaurant). Its ownership is presently overhauling its web site: townhouseny.com. The web site should give you a pretty good idea of what the bar is about.
The Townhouse Bar is one of the best gay bars in New York and perhaps in the country. Early in the evening the front room is only open but later on the backroom piano opens, in addition to the lower level, which has a more intimate setting than the other two rooms.
The Townhouse Bar is really for gentlemen who are middle aged and older but it is certainly welcome to all, including women, who invariably live out their Will & Grace fantasies after a few strong cocktails!
