Named after the great singer Ella Fitzgerald, this new East Village lounge has one of the best vibes in New York. The décor is a spin on Hollywood glamour and the roaring 20s, complete with black, white, and red all over, exposed brick, dramatic chandeliers, and cocktail waitresses dressed as flappers. The cocktail lounge upstairs is sinfully attractive and the downstairs features a mini-stage, DJ booth, and a piano so musicians can jam along with the DJs. The newest project from the owners of Gallery Bar promises to be a good place for a quiet drink with a date, with an option for dancing afterwards of course…or a fun night out with your friends. There's also a 40-seat performance space in the downstairs piano bar area as well.
