About Tropics Restaurant & Bar

Tropics Restaurant & Bar offers a Caribbean ambiance with lively music and a potential club in the back. The restaurant is known for its flavorful jerk wings and tender oxtail, although some find the gravy too watery and miss the grilled touch for the wings. The plantains are a popular side, but there have been mix-ups with side dishes. The pepper shrimp is a highlight, but the fried rice can be a bit dry. Service can be a hit or miss, with some waitstaff excelling in hospitality while others may lack attentiveness and friendliness. Customers enjoy the large portions of food, including dishes like oxtail, snapper, and wings, often finding the meals reasonably priced. The atmosphere and vibe are highly praised, with many visitors planning to return for the lively environment and good food. The restaurant also hosts great nightlife on Friday and Saturday, with a busy dance floor and a variety of fresh, well-prepared meals and snacks. Staff are knowledgeable about drink options, and the environment remains clean and tidy daily. However, parking might be an issue on busy nights. Despite some mix-ups with side dishes and occasional service inconsistencies, the overall quality of food and lively Caribbean atmosphere make Tropics Restaurant & Bar a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

Tropics is by far the worst night club i been to in New York. I went twice and will never go back. My first-time attending was with a few friends for a normal night out, we entered, they checked our ID and give us a wrist band. An hour had gone by, and my friend had to use the bathroom, the bathroom at tropic is beyond filthy so he had to go home to use his bathroom which was a block away. When he returned to re-enter, he was forced to pay a re-entry fee. Never in my life have...read full review
