Editorial Review

Name comes from the London loony bin. Parlor look will have Victorian gentlefolk feeling right at home. Vintage texts as wallpaper, anatomical prints and curio cases for conversation starters. Enough stuffed animal heads to make Teddy Roosevelt jealous. Ginormous main space with dance floor, top notch sound. Intimate back room. Sip a gingered Whiskey Smash, wait patiently for an Anderson Cooper sighting (Rumored BF Ben Maisani is a partner here).
