This club was a fun place to play. I never thought I would find my beautiful friends right here. Their nice drinks were very affordable. The staff who accommodates us were very friendly, polite, and respectful. No hidden charges compare to other clubs. I will definitely be going to visit this place again for sure.

Certainly a nice place to bring a date or hang with your buddies. Somber lighting, or mood lighting... the waitresses are professional and courteous. The bus boys are on point placing and removing food from your table. A very nice place for late drinks.

Hidden gem! We booked with Alex from Club Bookers Global and he was super helpful. The venue was indeed small but the decor was amazing as well as the drinks and music.

This cafe turned into nightclub at night is beautiful and was a place where a lot of the whos who in NY would go for a night out. Like with most clubs, your time as one of the cooler clubs/lounges runs out. Still fun for a night out, but not as cool as it once used to be.

Very rude. Said reservations only. I will tell my coworkers at all the investment banks I worked at not to ever come here. Very unsatisfactory service. Please don’t go here. Not worth it. Vinita

Loved this place my friend found for drinks in the Soho area! It has a great ambience, the servers are all very nice, and fun music! I would definitely come back.

We had the most sexy get together here. I enjoyed the Bombshell (less Tabasco) and the cheese plate. Great atmosphere and just Soho Sexy vibes.

It was a cool vibe. Music was pretty good. But at that point my night was a blur. I hopped between a few places so I was rocked at that point but all and all had a great time.

I just called to ask if the Blond was open and she said sure. I asked what time they would be open until. She told me they were a separate entity and she had no idea. I asked if it would go to 4am like normally. She didn’t know and she eventually hung up on me. I went to the blonde and it was open thankfully. Had a great time otherwise!

Trendy, & musically different from the usual club scene. Nice clientele (model type, fashionista and cool people), the door is somewhat selective. My drink of choice: Old Fashion.

Space is nice, but the male bartender that worked the night of 3/7/20 was extremely rude and aggressive when I informed him that they overcharged me by 20%. Wouldn’t recommend.

Cool location. Music is good. Not really a diverse crowd. Food is tasty. Cocktails priced quite the same as other places in the area. Needs a better dress code.

Review №23

Okay experience. It’s a pretty place and well decorated but the DJ was terrible, slow r&b and reggae... not danceable at all. And overall the crowd’s average age is somewhere between 12 and 13 years old. If you like being pushed and shoved around and listening to crummy music then this is the place for you.

The worest place to get into the door man was racist would not let me go in even thought I told him I just want to take a picture with my wife for our anniversary try to speak to him 3 times and by the third time he just walk way. I say hes racist because everyone who was white he let in but since Im Hispanic and a guest of the hotel I was the only one not able to get in and it was not it was slam busy it was emptying out so their was no reason for at 2:41 am I cant go in and take a quick picture and maybe have a drink.

I stay at hotel. The first night I went over to check out and it was pretty nice. The 2nd night I came over after 10PM. The freaking door guy is really an a$$. The place is nice but with this kind of service definitely a waste of money to begin with. Per Hotel guy, before 10PM is operated by Hotel but after by another operator ???. By the way, Hotel is definitely nice place to stay (staffs are awesome and so is service)

This place starts out as an old fashioned cocktail bar and the later in the evening, it transforms itself to a club. The audience was therefore a bit younger than I had expected. The cocktails were good and the atmosphere was sophisticated.

Pretty run of the mill bar from what i can tell. I went towards the end of the night, so the crowd was sparse. I also went to Lavo and The Seville that night so... haha... yeah.

Review №36

Meh all around. Dirty bar, despite being half empty. Uninspired menu. Altogether forgettable experience and Howard St really should offer something unique that capitalizes on that teeny tiny but of edginess left in the neighborhood. Dont waste your time.

Wednesday night is great once the dance floor gets going. Drinks are strong and bar tenders offer quick service. Staff is nothing but friendly. Atmosphere is unbeatable for Wednesday.

Rude staff member. Turned us away over his mistake. Older crowd only?Some bartender with a manbun turned me and my friends away claiming one of us had a fake ID. I understand if he was just doing his job. Unfortunately, he was rude about it and no one had a fake. Were all 23. No one else looked close to o our age. Maybe thats what theyre going for. Its a shame we walked over here for nothing.Id skip this one.

Very dark and pretentious. Over priced. Some staff were pleasant, others were horrendously pompous. Avoid unless youre equally grandiose.

Biggest scam lounge bar in NYC. They hire marketing prostitutes to lour victims in to coming via catfish Tinder accounts. Dont fall victim, the place is a joke. Just a scam. Wannabe luxury lounge. Dont be surprised if you get drugged and wake up with 20k in credit card charges.

Beautiful cocktail lounge in a hotel. Late night starts at midnight every night

Review №57

Boring place, all time same music. It is small place. There are 4 kind of people in this club. Normal couples. Prostitute with her clients. Rich men reserved tables. Women than want to drink free in tables of rich men. I think too are women hire for club to talk and drink with rich men in reserved table. In this local there are not space to dance. Only there are tables to reserved. The price is expensive. Bad beer 10$. The people of door is very rude and you have to booked to enter. If you not booked only can enter if you are a woman. They like have woman for the rich men in reserved table.

Review №58

Hated everything about the place. The staff were especially shocking - so rude, doormen obviously had some sort of chip on their shoulder and were complete jobsworths (whats the point in pre booking if theyre just going to make you feel like you shouldnt be there!) To be honest the clientele werent much better! Vile place!

Review №59

Incredibly average. Good if you cant go to 1oak. Ive been about 20 times. Every time I come it is just because I am dragged by someone else who wants to check it out for the first time. The girls look nothing like the ones on their instagram. Pretty much every girl gets in no questions asked even if they are underaged. They hire a promoter or two that cattles in the girls on their Instagram who I have heard are paid about 50 a night to sit and look like they are enjoying themselves. Sad..

The worst place to go out in NYC. After the party was over, we were hiding from the rain and waiting for our Uber under the roof of the entrance. Both the security and bar staff kept slaming the door towards us and threatening us trying to make us leave. They had absolutely no consideration that it was pouring and we just needed a place to hide for a few minutes. The confrontation was even becoming physical with two of the women that worked the bar.Their treatment of us was inhuman. I will never go back to this place and Ill make sure all of my friends stay away as well. Thanks for the great service.

Review №61

Friend spent $10k there the weekend before. Tried to go in next weekend and doorpeople Derryk and Joe acted like they did not know my friend and I. Worst treatment I have ever had/seen in nightlife. Highly recommend to not spend a penny there because you will receive ZERO loyalty and terrible customer service.
