Great ambiance and cocktails… unfortunately deserves 3 stars because of the lame music.

Cool lounge, a bit small. Ask for the private confessional booth, it’s cool.

This bar in Manhattan is possibly the most pretentious. The staff doesn’t even make an effort to do the bare minimum, and the funky music choice creates a lame ambiance.

As per everyone else, the doorman was extremely rude and we were told it was a Members Only bar on a Tuesday evening. We were also told at midnight that they were about to close and it states online that you’re open until 2am. Maybe update your hours and “rules” online?
Either way rude doormen are never good for business! At least he was the same amount of RUDE to everyone

1 star for excellent ambiance. I sure will if I could find a place to put negative stars. So I ordered a Crypt and a pineapple juice. I got a bill for 45$. Even as a New Yorker, I got a sticker shock. Then I saw a 30% tip on the point-of-sale console. I adjusted it to $1.5 per drink. So it was at $40

I went back to my seat and got restless thinking about the amount. I went back to the bar to check the prices. The other bartender looked up the recent charges on his main console and told me I was charged for a mocktail that was four dollars extra.

So let's calculate now. Even at the current inflated prices of $36 including tips, there is a wide difference between that and the $45 that I was originally charged. Criminal. Not going back again. Photgrafiska Museum management should take cognizance of this.

Great cocktails, great atmosphere, attentive service. We went at a time when reservations were restricted to Fotografiska members only, but the bar was not crowded, and the doorman, whom others have complained about, welcomed us in.

Fun place to bring out of towners because there are no signs and so it comes across as place "insiders" know about.

Only reason it did get five stars was the decision to play 80's pop loudly and non-stop. Yes it's a bar, but the music was incredibly at odds with the lovely end-of-religion decor. I kept thinking if they only would put the Miles Davis/John Coltrane Prestige recordings from the 50's on a loop (there's at least five hours of music) the place would have been perfect.

Very unfriendly staff. They said they seat people with reservations only so we stood at the bar and watched a whole section of seats empty for 1.5 hrs. They won’t allow anyone to occupy even if nobody’s showed up !

This place is pretentious enough to believe $50 martini is normal . The drinks are just ok and not worth the bonb they charge because they are located in a high ceilinged church (which somehow entitles them to charge atrocious prices for poor service) . Avoid !

We came in Thursday night and my friend had crutches from spraining her ankle earlier that day. The hostess was incredibly warm and accommodating, found a table for us quickly even while it was busy! DJ was great, drinks are super unique and high quality. People were also really social and we met a lot of new folks. New fave in the area!

Absolutely stunning bar and a perfect date night spot. Sultry mood lighting in an old transformed church with gorgeous decor. The bartenders were very helpful and attentive and would without a doubt visit again.
