Bum Bum Bar
Hidden behind a windowless tile facade with a black awning reading simply “Bar,” Bum Bum (pronounced “Boom Boom”) has the exterior of a speakeasy, but inside, the predominantly Latin crowd is infinitely more extroverted than clandestine. Fridays, drag shows have in the past featured guests like legendary performer Vickiana; on Saturdays, a mixed, decades-spanning crowd of mostly butch-femme couples with a few paired men pack the cozy dance floor as they shuffle exuberantly to salsa and merengue beneath a huge mirror with the Manhattan skyline etched into it. Tables at the front and rear of the room accommodate parties of regulars who may be serenaded by a snazzed up version of “Happy Birthday” from the D.J. booth as wallflowers sip Colombian aguardiente and Mexican Piccala coffee liqueur. Sunday is a quieter night, with occasional drink specials, recorded Colombian pop, and music videos projected on the back wall.
