Broadway and Canal, where Canal Room was. “It’s all brought to you by a gent who helped open Brooklyn dance palace Output. Here, he’s thoughtfully surrounded you with the proper lighting (chandeliers that undulate through 16 million colors) and crowd (the types who make a living adorning magazine covers).” Uh, huh. Funny about that Output part—there was zero mention of it when Haus presented itself as a “mixology lounge” at Community Board 1.
