Party Earth Review: Tucked away beneath an art gallery, Home Sweet Home is a kitschy underground lair that has indeed become a second home to the chic and edgy night-crawling denizens of Nolita and the Lower East Side. A combination bar, dance den, and live music venue, this one-room space packs in a lot of action, all of it thoroughly enjoyed by the combat boot-wearing, too-cool club kids and creatives who crowd in for no-frills drinks and dancing to live bands and incredible local DJs. Barely-lit crystal chandeliers provide a hint of eerie elegance, a vibe further enhanced by the peculiar collection of taxidermy, from the peacock standing guard over the cash register to the stuffed lion’s head caught in a fierce roar. The unique wooden bar features illuminated dioramas of bizarre trinkets and tchotchkes, while unfinished floors, brick walls, exposed pipes, and a couple of Grandma’s worn-out vintage velvet couches add to the decayed splendor. Luckily, sitting isn’t on the agenda at Home Sweet Home, where the rotating roster of underground DJs and indie bands inspires a lot of shimmying on the sizable dance floor, especially after midnight when the spillover crowd from Happy Ending tumbles in and the bar fills up with rowdy avant-garde gangs of downtown darlings with no plans of going home anytime soon.
