Vicious, formerly the landmark gay Max's Bar, has been reborn as a gay-friendly club
that welcomes all to dance and chatter to a soundtrack of electro, no-wave, deep techno,
glam indie, and deep house. It's small enough to feel intimate; try Alchemy every
Saturday, featuring DJs such as Claudio Fabrianesi.
