East Village

Small club, big line-ups, they say - and we wholeheartedly agree. Since the place formerly known as Medicine Bar opened in February 2008, with a classy facelift and killer new sound system, savvy promoters have been queuing up to put on nights here. Though swankier than Medicine - done out in a gorgeous chocolate brown, with plenty of seating on two floors - it's still all about what happens on the basement dancefloor. Stuart Patterson rolls in the Faith house party one Friday a month, and Justin Robertson's Black Rabbit electro party is just as roadblocked.
