“The grown crowd of regulars” are good ppl. Chris and Mike run the spot & are welcoming to all (sometimes too welcoming…. 🤨Hmph). Drinks are unique & are based on what you tell Chris you like. I had my birthday karaoke party there cuz it feels like home for decent ppl. All the Rah Rah and foolishness, pls keep that mess at bay. This isn’t the spot for it. I escaped the Rat Race, The Matrix, and AmeriKKKa 🙌🏾and now live in Thailand🥳. As much as I love it here, the theatre and arts, specifical
Bessie’s Place is a great spot for a chilled laid back night. Great music, cozy atmosphere, always good convo somewhere at the bar and the artwork and pieces are amazing. They can accommodate mocktails as well. Can’t wait until they have their small bites menu up. The drinks are delicious and I could probably go on and on. Just stop by for a drink and some great vibes.
I Just Experienced And Witnessed Thee Greatest New Year's Eve Into New Year's Day Celebrations Ever. At Bessie's Place. In Harlem USA. Led By Christopher Lee. Along With Mr. Michael. WE Had A Mega BLAST And A Ultra BALL. That's IT. That's ALL. I Can Gush On And On About Everything. So I'll Just Say That Everything IS Everything Right There. GOD Bless You Boyz.
