Tavern On Camac

Tavern on Camac, situated on a quiet cobblestoned side street in the Gayborhood, is most known for its sleek piano lounge, which draws seasoned songbirds and—and the occasional theater major from nearby University of the Arts—for hours of boozy showtune sing-alongs. But you don’t have to have pipes like Judy to have fun here. The upstairs dance floor, compact as it may be, is a particular favorite on weekends for nightlifers looking for an alternative to the meat market that is Woody’s. Speaking of meat: The restaurant in the basement, the Tavern Restaurant, serves up hearty—and tasty—pub fare in a dimly lit, wine-cellar-like atmosphere.
