A special and increasingly rare place. Been stopping by since 2013. A cold winter evening staying at nearby YMCA, I just wanted a cold beer and catch a playoff football game. Like others mention, this isn’t a “gentrified” bar- this is a black-owned neighborhood bar, but allow me to go on record to say how welcome I have been made here. It’s an incredible and humbling perspective to talk-shop with the older locals. This is New York. No judgements, no prejudice, just good people having a good time in each others company. That’s how it should be. That’s how it is at Just Lorraine’s.

Always professional, no complaints

I love it here!! Nobody n i mean NOBODY can make a BLUE LONG ISLAND for me like it.

I didn't go into the place my sister stayed near bye the place it was loud and seems like fun but when I go back to New York I'm gonna try them out.

Have been coming to Lorraine’s for a while before the current revamp and I feel like the revamp made it better! It is Black & family-owned.

The bar is a casual setting, keep in mind that there isn’t a dress code! I’ve seen people come in after weddings!

There are different themed nights and they bring in different DJs. The staff is either family, friends, or Harlem locals, and you can even bring your own food if you need some backup for those strong drinks. Drinks are fairly low, a Don Julio Margarita is $15, and if you have Laray or Tracey make them be prepared !! There are even nights where there are $100 bottles of Moet. The bar can get packed, so there is sometimes a bit of wait, but the bartenders never forget! There is a homey aspect and the bartenders even remember names and orders.

The vibe? Local, chill, and all about dancing! The crowd can be mature but to be honest between the drinks and the DJ you will be moving! The music is mostly Hip Hob & R&B, with a sprinkle of reggae or AfroBeats. The music gets louder to make it a party vibe during the later hours on the weekend.

Whether you’re pre-gaming, winding down, or just want a casual night out (weekends or when DJHoody pulls up), this is the spot!

I liked the atmosphere because it appeared to cater to an older crowd. I would have enjoyed it more if the music wasn't so loud. Yet I enjoyed the selection of music that kept me there for an hour. BTW, the prices for drinks weren't too bad.
