Description

With a low ceiling and a shadowy atmosphere flecked with glittery Christmas lights, this large downtown bar is a great place to hear live music by local underground and indie rock bands, as well as weekly DJ nights that include Latin and dance music. A large, colorful painting of a matador and bull dominates the club's stage and dance floor, and the long, wooden main bar boasts a full range of cheap drinks and exotic liquors. La Cita also has a second bar in the back on "El Patio," where barflies can watch sporting events on television and sip their drinks while gazing up at the illuminated skyscrapers towering over the downtown skyline. Full bar. No food. Street parking. Ages 21 & over.

  • 2010 | Best Cure for the Mondays

    It’s hips, not upper lips, that make Mustache Mondays one of the liveliest, lushest gay dance clubs in town. The amiable energy at this party never quits, and the floor always feels like a warm (sometimes too warm) and inviting place, no matter what your sexual preference is, or how fierce your dance moves may be. Mustache actually hopped around various downtown venues quite a bit before finding its perfect home at La Cita, and the Mexican dive–turned–hip hub’s layout... More »

  • 2009 | BEST MICHELADA

    Everyone knows that the best way to get over a hangover is to keep drinking. For those who aren't of the brunching sort, we suggest the Mexican answer to the bloody mary: the michelada. The ingredients typically vary according to a bartender's whims, but a michelada is essentially a light beer, preferably Mexican, mixed with tomato juice, salt and lime. From there, bartenders can show off their improvisational skills, playing Miles Davis but with mixed drinks. Sometimes Worcestershire sauce... More »

  • 2009 | BEST BUILD-YOUR-OWN BLOODY MARY

    The perfect Bloody Mary is hard to come by. Best enjoyed during the day and an absolute necessity when hung over, a Bloody Mary is one of the most personalized cocktails out there. Some like it spicy, some sweet, some like it garnished with veggies, some with meat, but all require a strong vodka pour. The list of potential ingredients for this cocktail is endless so instead of trying to read the mind of every hungover, tomato juice-fiending patron, La Cita bartender Calixto Hernandez hosts a...

  • 2008 | Best Use of a Gorilla Mask

    If you have ever felt that the only thing missing from your Saturday afternoon was a stiff Bloody Mary and a woman in a gorilla mask, look no further than La Cita, the downtown dive bar turned hipster joint. La Cita is expanding its entertainment options beyond indie-rock-heavy DJ nights to afternoons dedicated to artistic musings. The shaded back patio offers a calming respite from the street noise, and the drink specials don't hurt the lazy-day atmosphere. Until, of course, the clock... More »

  • 2008 | Best Hag Hangouts: Meandering Madonnas

    Everybody knows that gay clubs guarantee unbridled gregariousness for ladies letting loose. No creepy pickup-artist-types feeding you lame one-liners at the bar, no long waits for the girls' bathroom and no competitive up-and-down glares from other dolled-up attention whores in hotter getups than yours. Well, scratch that last one: Some gay guys can be just as catty, sometimes even more so than other women, and if you infiltrate the wrong dude-packed dance orgy -- particularly some of... More »

    If you have ever felt that the only thing missing from your Saturday afternoon was a stiff Bloody Mary and a woman in a gorilla mask, look no further than La Cita, the downtown dive bar turned hipster joint. La Cita is expanding its entertainment options beyond indie-rock-heavy DJ nights to afternoons dedicated to artistic musings. The shaded back patio offers a calming respite from the street noise, and the drink specials don't hurt the lazy-day atmosphere. Until, of course, the clock strikes on the hour, unleashing Ape Escape — an orchestrated dance of models in high-end lingerie and gorilla masks offering inspiration to bar patrons, who are encouraged to sketch the models. Dubbed the Bronx Zoo by its host, Silver Lake gallery Ghettogloss, the summer hit proved so popular it's been extended through the fall. BYO art supplies, but the alcohol-driven creativity is on them.—Sara Lerner
