Description

Finding more than one or two lesbian-owned-and-run bars in this city is like searching for dental dams in Kmartayou're plumb out of luck. The closing of the universally known Meow Mix (which followed that of Crazy Nanny'sanow Luke & Leroy) was a key indicator that chick digs are hard to maintain on this island of skyrocketing real estate. That said, the Mix's crew has taken the 11-month lapse in stride and has opened a joint in Park Slope, where all things sapphic thrive. This onetime warehouse has been gutted and given a glossy yet minimalist finish. Revelers can down $3 PBR tall boys and $8 Belgian ales at one of two backlit bars or simply cruise for a new playmate. If the sound system, which blares everything from hip-hop to Prince, is overwhelming, opt to play pool or Ms. Pac-Man away from the dancefloor as a nice diversion. The upstairs space offers an entirely different vibe, letting you be a voyeur. You can peer through a glass wall onto a sprawling, outdoor wooden deck and glimpse at smokers and company hanging out. That way if you're too shy to step up, at least you can get your fill of eye candy. Finally, there's a little something for everyone. Bless their hearts.

That is, until Cattyshack began featuring women working the pole, which is positioned on the bar with a red light for extra effect. Friday night's Cirrah party features the best of the lot; two ladies in particular, Sarah and Maine, deserve an award for nicest upside-down slide. Hostess Aja announces each of the dancers, who...

  • 2005 | Best Rooftop From Which to Exclaim That You're a Big Dyke

    Certainly there is a Sapphic shout-out emanating from at least one rooftop in Park Slope nightly, but we're talking the best here--and that would be at CATTYSHACK, the latest carpet-muncher club to hit the 718. Staked with spartan chain-link fencing and aspiring L Word extras sucking on cigs, Cattyshack's outside oasis has an industrial Cell Block H feel. Get ready for lockdown, lassies. More »
