Known for their large skyline mural and their daily roster of theme nights and drink specials, the place could confuse you depending on when you usually arrive. During the day, it's now known as Java Boy and serves coffee to local patrons, giving neighboring Big Cup a potential run for their money. In the evenings though, it's still the bar Chelsea boys know and love, with $5 cosmos until 2 a.m. on Wednesdays, "Drag Queen Puppet Bingo" on Fridays, and airy, open-facade seating in the summer. Interestingly, it's the type of joint that literally can go from underpopulated and quiet, to packed and untamed in the blink of an eye.
