The Red Room (CLOSED)

Paying homage to the previous tenant—a performing-arts space that ran above KGB Bar since 1992—this third-floor cocktail den hosts big-band orchestras, late-night jazz trios and burlesque dancers every Saturday. Along with a stage containing an upright piano and vintage Unidyne mike, the space is decorated with tufted-leather banquettes, pressed-tin ceilings and—curiously—a copper bathtub. Cocktails include the Ritz (cognac, Cointreau, champagne), the Dubonnet (with gin and lemon) and the Cocksman (rum, pineapple juice, orange bitters).
