Typical bar. The bartender was attentive. I thought, for some reason, I was headed to a whiskey bar. Not a college bar with cheap shot specials. Had my expectations been appropriately set, this place could've been fun. Check it out?

Lucy is the only nice bartender here. All these Russian women with the bad attitude everytime I go in. If I don’t see Lucy at the bar I walk back out.

One of my favorite places to grab a drink after work or before a show. Big space, lots of tables and TVs. Would recommend coming down!

In the cut gem. Gotta try their espresso Martin's. They are delicious ?. Place definitely could do with some diversity, however.

Not a bad bar at all. Good prices. Lots of space to sit or stand. Multiple levels. Accepts and treats diverse clientele with respect as opposed to other bars in the area (if you know, you know). The only issue is the staff. Very strange behavior. Advise sitting away from the bar and paying in cash if you just want a chill time to yourself or with your party.

The room wasn't as advertised but we may do. Elevator was broke for most of the weekend and it was only roughly 3x3

Place was nice. Drinks were ok. But for a party of 2, they charged me 18% as a line item, not even a tip. When bringing it up to the bartender, she couldn’t give a clear explanation. Very shady practices.

We fell in love with this cozy, comfy spot in NYC. Drinks were less expensive and well-made. We loved the holiday decorations and fun Christmas songs.We visited twice during our weekend trip!Highly
