Editorial Review

VIP lounge beneath DeSantos named for favorite daughter of Port Arthur, Texas. (Ms. Joplin herself used to live upstairs, is memorialized in black and white here.) Rustic space left more or less as it was when the Civil War ended. Rugged beams across a low ceiling, weathered brick and flooring. Cherry red banquettes and pretty crowd looking even prettier in candlelight. Major-player DJs, some of whom, coincidentally enough, have played a certain other Village basement.
