Jan SichermannDecember 4, 2012Even if you don't like rap, come here for freestyle Mondays. Especially the first Monday of the month when the best MCs in the city battle it out. It's such a fun experience!!
Robert StevensonApril 27, 2013Bartenders Dan and Miguel were fast, friendly and efficient. The four piece jazz assemble playing Sammy Miller were awesome. This place will be insane packed soon. Glad to me here before the masses.
KatNovember 16, 2013Go early for great live music (check the calendar) in a Gatsby-esque locale. Later on with DJ, crowd was very young and fratty. Great drinks and decor.
Zeb DropkinJanuary 5, 2015This mellow East Village bar has a number of unusual, but very tasty house cocktails. Cocktails are half price from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
gabi porterNovember 15, 2011Surprisingly great happy hour with a great cocktail list. Try the Rum Fashioned made with Goslings, tawny port and bitters. Nice bracing, winter cocktail with just a touch of pirate.
Lunar LDecember 16, 2011Chill LES lounge. Good mix of music. Watermelon martinis truly are amazing. But be careful, those things are DEADLY. All the bartenders are amazing and hilarious.
EricaJuly 19, 2013If your first check in is after 11pm they won't give you the half off discount. Stupid, stupid rule. Go for the handsome bartender named angel! Good looking and super nice!!
Yolanda ShoshanaDecember 27, 2011An awesome lounge with the theme of Hollywood in the 20s and 30s with classic cocktails. There are live jazz performances in the intimate piano area of the lounge.
Party EarthApril 4, 2012“If your group gets hungry, ask the bartender about ordering from Yerba Buena, a Latin American restaurant down the street that will deliver to the bar.” More at
Duygu AKTANMarch 3, 2013The so called special for which you're supposed to get half off ur first drink isnt valid on friday n saturday nights! Bullshit specials.
Say hey to Dan at the bar...he'll take care of you with a customized drink that he or one of the super skilled bartenders behind the bar created
Good cocktails don't mean fast cocktails. Just grab a beer and watch @dandywellington do his thing on Thursday nights.
Adrianne V.June 30, 2013Checked in here, said the deal for checking in here is half off, bartender said deal is no longer good. Lamesauce.
Marla Bugle-ClowncarFebruary 9, 2014Stupidest rule I have ever heard in the history of any bar/club ever. Watched a band...tried to use the only bathroom located upstairs and was told I would not be able to go back downstairs.
BillboardMarch 22, 2012Don't miss a show in the downstairs venue - artists often chat with audience members between songs!
Erin FinneganMarch 15, 2013Douchy the wrong way - frat boys ordering coronas when the cocktails are decent. Like a jazz club populated by sorority sisters.
Sarah LensingDecember 22, 2011good live music. a chill lounge but turns into a dance party downstairs at night. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Danika LandersMarch 9, 2011The Ella cocktail is fantastic. Come for happy hour and get it 50% off. :p
Jack CurryOctober 20, 2013Typical "no dudes" / "we have a dress code" bullshit from the guys out front. Won't be coming back; there are plenty of places I can go to with less hassle. Shame because it's actually a nice space.

Best staff on earth!!! Love the drinks and all the bartenders!!!
Loryn SimonsenOctober 5, 2013$7 for a Heineken + a "DJ" poorly curating a discordant, disorganized and flow-less stream of pop & RB spanning the past decade = not worth your time.
