Description:

Embellishments like the zebras head above the bar sporting a crisp generals chapeau proves this East Village bunker for gays is more about fantasy than Soviet function. Troops from Chelsea and Brooklyn march here for dancing and socializing in a narrow space between a long, low bench and the bar. Propaganda-chic banners and muralsthe very picture of youthful militancyaptly labor under the soft spell of several disco balls. When the place is hot, the crush of bodies transforms every surface into a dance floor and go-go boys hang onto the stripper pole for dear life. The true test of Eastern Blocs mettle is its slow nights, when the spectral warmth of the commie dcor can be absorbed while nursing a bottle of Rolling Rock or watching Soul Train to a D.J.s soundtrackits just like your living room, only cruise-y.
