No Malice Palace:
Does the NYC hustle have you screaming "serenity now!"? A visit to under-the-radar standby, No Malice Palace, may calm your nerves. Marked only by a green lantern, its nondescript facade is conveniently incognito to the drunk and disorderly. Duck in on a weekday and you'll find, as the utopian name suggests, a mixed bag of amiable downtowners chatting over Stellas at the13-seat mirrored bar. Stroll deeper, and the ultra-dark space opens into a casual lounge complete with mismatched sofas, cherry velvet Victorian chairs, and a kitschy faux fireplace. Or if fresh air gets you Zen, hit the small yet appealing outdoor patio. But be warned: late nights get loud and packed thanks to exceptional DJs who spin rap and reggae while focusing on rare and old-school tracks. So if wading through throngs of kids (lured by bottle service sans cover) makes you malicious, stick to early evenings. Open daily 7:30pm-4:00am.
Had my 30th bday party there. Owner was super cool. All my friends thought the bartenders were hot and friendly and fast. Crazy good dancing.

The space isn't bad, especially when the backyard is open, but on weekends it fills up with assholes and drunk little girls. This would better serve as a Wednesday night destination.
