A loungey joint catering to professionals, Auction House puts itself on the block as a hip place with a good DJ who understands downtown styleaa rarity in the frat-bar-dominated Upper East Side.
Going above 14th Street is an unpopular nightlife move in New York - worse, hanging out on the Upper East Side is essentially social suicide. That said, there's a great bar on East 89th Street that houses nearly none of the frat boys that are drawn to places like Brother Jimmy's, Tin Lizzie, and Dorrian's. Auction House looks expensive - fireplaces, red-velvet drapes, long mahogany bars, and suggestive oil paintings - but in an authentically shabby Miss Havisham sort of way: The whole place feels inexplicably ruined somehow. It's definitely not a pick-up place, but if you happen to be with someone whose conversation you enjoy, you could do a lot worse.
