The Townhouse has reopened!

Their top-shelf vodka is Ol' Taters.

That was my Aunty Bob's favorite!

Four old drunk queens at the end of a bar, life is good

Ive missed it.

It's back to full crowds there now.

But unfortunately, the great pianist Rick died a while back early in the pandemic.

I sat back around the bend with my friend Paul about 8 years ago and we met the queeniest banker who talked about his art foundation in Venice, it was a lot of fun and my only time in the place.

Do they still have the fake English fox hunting scenes hanging on the wall?

What's the cover charge?

I'd rather go back to 1986 to Harry's Bar with Leona Helmsley!

Hookers and Instahos get in for free, R9. Everybody else is $20.

Is this the place that used to be nicknamed “God’s waiting room” because it was mostly old people? Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

Has anyone informed Jeannie?

Yes, R12. The basement bar is where the truly old would hang out, the better to acclimate them to being six feet under it was said.

Tuppence

Tuppence an old bag, R15

My ex and his friends would dismissively refer to it as "a place for ribbon clerks"!

HEY! I thought I was the DL's top home bar!

Are the go-go boys in the basement back?

What does that mean? I must be too young to get that joke.

Say what you will, dismiss it if you must, but I will never forget a guy I met there while I was in town for business. We weren't the youngest in the room but certainly not the oldest. One of the most unforgettable nights of my life.

Are they still saying that it’s a “hustler bar”? Ive been there a few times over the last 20 years and never seen a hooker there. Just a lot of old decorators and realtors. The real men are at Eagle.

R21 Well, don’t just leave us hanging. Tell us what happened that night!

WHET the downstairs bartender, Marcedo I think? He was Brazilian.

R20

I believe it had to do with their wearing suits there as a sort of "uniform"?

I would go, but everyone there is so young. I would feel absolutely ancient.

From an old post -- I can't find the link, but it went something like this:

Went to the Townhouse for a bunch of drinks and just to relax. I started talking to him and went back to his place. Man, the fun we had! It was sensual and romantic and even a little raunchy (he liked to talk dirty). It took me a long time to forget him and it even kept me from finding someone because I was looking for another guy just like him. He was handsome, intelligent, kind, and deeply sexy.

Jeannie is the Townhouse's Auntie Mame -- she knows everybody, and if you're lucky, she might might make you a match.

[quote] Are the go-go boys in the basement back?

No, and apparently there are no plans to bring them back. One of the bartenders said they don't go with the new image the Townhouse wants to have now.
