Overview

Tiny dance room where overcrowding will force you to become extremely intimate with your neighbors, which is why you're probably there in the first place.

History

The backup plan got a new name

When we listed Plan B, it was a tiny dance room so crowded you had no choice but to get intimate with your neighbors, which was rather the point. In January 2010 the owner of Plan B said the new place would be called the Blind Barber1. Its own site still lists 339 E 10th St, with the backroom open from 7pm to 3am on Thursdays2.
