Curtains for the Starlight Lounge
The Starlite Lounge, which one Yelper calls “the best gay bar in all of Crown Heights (and possibly the world),” has closed. According to the tipster who brought it to our attention, there’s a sign that was recently posted on the door saying, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Starlite Lounge will be closed…” Anyone know…

Care to share any memories of the place? GMAP
“Darling Daintyfoot’s????” Not many people, even gays are going to wantr to be seen coming out of a plce with that name!!!!…..PLEASE encourage him choose something else.
really?! that’s all it takes?! damn, gay men have the easiest dating life. s’an uphill battle for straight guys.
A friend of mine is hoping to open new gay bar in this same space. It will be called Darling Daintyfoot’s (name of one of Jean Genet’s characters). Not sure where things stand with this at present, but it’s a good location with a good vibe.
LOL Goldie! Asking for that at Excelsior might get you tons of free drinks and dates for many weekends to come!
asking for a good stiff one gets me a nice martini for $9 at my regular haunt. gasp to think about what you get and for how much at excelsior?
Gingers is the main spot around here, very nice bartenders (Shout out to Perry!), but I rarely go anymore. They use a dj on some Fri/Sat nights, but it’s not all that great for dancing. It’s more the place to sit back, have some beer and bullsh*t. The karaoke is fun though. I love Excelsior! Tipsy gay men rule!!!
oddly cattyshack let me in (straigh dude) and i had a great long convo with the bartender and another patron. then again it was in the middle of the day while i was waiting for my car from the mechanic next door.
slope still has ginger bar (lesbian) and excelcior (gay men) i think, no?
I can imagine that would be so, Snappy. And you’d have to endure the “girl-on-girl” obsession talk.
That works for gay men, Dave but not for lesbians. Lesbians in a straight bar wind up being like a museum exhibit for some, and a challenge to the pig-headed straight men who think they have the ability to change us in 5 minutes. (And by the way, saying it would only take you 5 minutes to get the job done is sooooo not impressive!)
