Chez Nous Cocktail Lounge Inc   

Chez Nous is a shrine to the lounge gods. Phonetically "shay new," the name is French for "our house," but it's more like Shaft's second home, virtually unchanged since the '60s. Attracting attention from Details and Rolling Stone, Chez Nous' yellowed wallpaper, flickering candles and vinyl seats ooze swagger and swank. The almost pitch-black interior hides age and inhibitions, allowing lounge lizards to live it up in dim disco-ball obscurity. Sit and watch the movie roll, as pimp daddies and femme fatales drag on cigarettes or clutch that stranger tight on the miniscule R&B dance floor. You'll rub elbows with the players every time you move in this low-capacity lounge.
