542 North Rampart St. (French Quarter) Monday through Tuesday: 6 to till. Saturday & Sunday: 3 to till. The Society Page Lounge exists in an area of the Quarter known for beautifully broken buildings and vice. The bar caters to African-American gay men, most of whom work in the downtown service industry. But all are welcome. Black floors, black walls, black ceilings and black lights, windowless and not much of a sign out front -- the bar feels like a cocoon, a speakeasy, an old friendly secret. Two televisions play music videos and sports. Cheap drinks. Easy going crowd. The only sour point is that the Society Page -- a truly lovely place -- has installed an internet jukebox. Ugh. Video poker.
