It can be quiet at times depending on the day/time, but it also gets lit in the evenings. They have a great happy hour, amazing cocktails, and exceptional service. Roxanne in particular (and so many other bartenders, too) are so good at what they do. The vibes are there.
A vibey, 70s cocktail bar with really good house cocktails. The Saturn and the Porn Stachio are incredible - note that the happy hour is long and runs daily, but doesn’t include even standard cocktails like martinis. That said , we actually preferred the house cocktails. Sometimes the service runs a little slow and cold, but other times they’re great, helpful and fun!
This place is a vibeeee and a time was HAD. Came here for salsa on Thursday, it was lit. Vinyls and great ambiance. Photo Booth tooo. Will definitely be back
This bar is the type of institution that people refer to when they say NYC has the most unique and enjoyable nightlife in the world. Walk in, and you're transported straight into the 1970s with conversation ports, a disco ball, and leather couches. The Saturn was the best cocktail I've ever had in my life. The cherry with it made so enjoyable. Would happily come back here just to try it again. Complaints are the slow service - there were only two bartenders there. Cocktails were also $17 - for this neighborhood, that's slightly too pricey.
Fantastic bartenders serving up delicious drinks. I’ve chatted with a few staff members and you can really get the sense they like working here, which is a huge green flag. The vibes are perfect and the space is curated well without feeling like it’s trying too hard. Also they have pool tables AND a real film photo booth? Truly wonderful!
I have never had a problem with this place until saturday night when the bouncer was so unbelievably rude for no reason. he didn’t like the way I was holding out my ID and mocked me. Because of the way I held out my ID he tried to deny me and all my friends entry. it was the tall beefy bouncer with the dreads. Instead of simply saying , please just wait a moment miss, he was VERY nasty. all his coworkers were apologizing for his behavior. we asked him to speak to the manager and she was great, let us all in and took care of us and apologized for him. hope he gets fired soon.
This bar is lovely. They have so many different separate seating places, they have an outdoor section in the middle of the bar that most people use for smoking. Naturally wine is always a plus in my book & they book really talented DJs every week who play records.
