Nice rooftop, music was great. The owner is really nice. However one of the bartenders was pretty rude and aggressive.. Also ordered a Margarita, a beer, and a water on the rooftop bar. My bill ended up being $36. The bartender decided to tip herself extra and when I looked at my bank statement, she charged me $45. If you go to this bar, bring cash.

I was there this past Saturday for a birthday celebration and let me tell you I had the BEST time. Not only do they have the option of 2 floors depending on the vibes you’re looking for, the environment is so welcoming and vibrant. P La Cangri was making that place BOUNCE, she had the best tunes playing. I danced the whole night. Highly recommend coming to party here!!!

I dont understand the need to bring alcoholics, who arent even DJs, to perform at the bar. The guy smelled, his music was bad, and all he did was shout How are you tonight, New York? Its unbelievable how people respond by calling him a talented individual and insisting he wasnt under the influence. HES AN ADDICT AND HES NOT PURSUING ANY DREAM. And yes, he was drunk; hes always drunk because hes AN ALCOHOLIC. Admit your mistake and dont do this again, or your bar will broke.

Staff was very friendly and food was pretty good. Giving two stars because of the captain DJ on Wednesday. He kept filming the crowd and yelling “how we feeling New York?”. This happened multiple times. He would pull out his phone and record him pressing the airhorn while panning up to our reactions. While he wasn’t yelling or airhorning, he would be visibly tweaking, twitching, and talking to himself. There was quite a perimeter around the DJ stand that no one would go near because of the smell coming from that area. I’m assuming it was from the brown discolored captains hat and stains on his shirt. He was drunk the whole time and I thought staff weren’t supposed to drink. Save your money because it looks like this place is just getting entertainment from armpits like brownsville.

He starting to yell saying security he is be disorderly and drunk as we argue security ask me to leave or he will throw me the manager came ova and said to me ima call the cops dont ever come back called me a few nasty names hole club is looking now music got turned down as it always does wen there is a altercation I should the manger the video his jaw dropped he was so embarrassed he told the bartender your fired and leave now and gave me my $100 back n said the drinks on him my thing is after that he said someone said he did it before i said so u must not have cared cus u should have handled the first time he said ya right i know it may seem like alot but being jiped at bars is on the rise so take that extra measure to ensure it wont be u o work for.

Been to two nights out here. My issue is the top floor has a weird layout and it’s hard to dance when the dance floor is tiny and there are sections staring at you. The rooftop is nice but the heat lamps do not work.

A cheap tourist trap bar with overly loud subpar music, complimented by a dingy no view rooftop with watered down drinks. Avoid

Review №19

It was...ok. Maybe Im spoiled having experienced the Latin Club scene of the 90s, but I expected much, much more. The DJ and host announcer were great, but the bouncers were rude and almost looking for fights (one practically threatened me because I couldnt hear him behind me despite the loud music and the fact that well - its a freaking club), and the bar was overpriced and amature - any drink that required more than 2 ingredients (like rum + coke or gin + juice) was a disaster. The crowd - A few tourists looking for authentic latin experience (aka latin lovebois), but the crowd was mostly pretty chill. No salsa show offs or instagram divas etc. Overall, you can have a good time if are there to enjoy the music, and keep your expectations low.

I went to dance tonight on January 13, 2017. When I first ordered the drinks I was told the drinks would be $14 apiece however when I was paying around 1015 they charged me $36. I know I know its only eight dollars however its the principle behind a business practice and its a business owner this is unethical. The bartenders who lose their tip and the organization gets this review do not rip off your customers.

Review №26

On Sept 9 I entered bar13 at 10:58pm and was judged by the bouncers around shortly before 2am, my friends were even waiting outside at that time to come in to celebrate my Bday with me, I was told that I was complained against when I didnt interact or touch anyone, even my friends were all confused and know me never to disrespect anyone, the bouncer couldnt even tell me what the complaint was about or who complained, all I was doing was talking to my friends the whole night and dancing a bit, I guess the bouncer wanted a tip. I TotallyFeel disrespected as this has never happened to me in 40 years of lounges and clubs, all I got was compliments and love from everyone at other places . Looks like they did not like something about me. We left instantly to go to another place were we had a blast until it was closed. Too bad because I use to throw house parties in there with my dj and crew all the time back in the day and wanted to see how it was now, to further enjoy it with friends in the upcoming years, but now me and my friends will never never go back or recommend Bar 13 to anyone, because they trust my opinions.

Review №27

Terrible DJ & false advertisement. I was here for the House music & Amapiano music… He played a few songs & the rest was latin & Hip hop! If you are going to advertise one genre of music then PLAY IT! There is a whole other section for Latin music in another section you do not have to play it here… STOP TRYING TO CAPITALIZE off of a culture of music just to get money but do not play the music…. Shameful. Another alternative would be to hire Dj’s who KNOW THE MUSIC and mix well.

Good happy hour specials. Nice rooftop vibes for the summertime. Only problem I have is that the frozen margarita aren’t really that strong and something always wrong with the machine. With that I stick to my shots or well drinks

The bar is small not big. I never been here before but I know for sore it not a place to go for SantaCon. Please dont get tickets to this place for SantaCon next year, maybe go here for a one on one and talk about why your relationship not working out cause the music also no good.

Stephanie and Christina the Bartenders really make the place. BAR 13 has been around for eons. 3 floors. Main, 2nd and terrace. They close terrace at 1am. There are different parties every night. Find your music and go with friends. The crowd is always a good mix. The drinks are very well priced for Manhattan. Maybe because it is a college area. #notcomplaining 🤷‍♀️

Review №31

Now I don’t usually do reviews but yeah here it is. Beware of how much you drink and cautious of your money. Gave the bartender a crumbled $20 bill, I always crinkle my bills when I go out because of this reason. Bought a $7 juice he gave $3 back. I’m like where my change, he kept telling me I gave him $10. I told him show me the bill I gave he proceeds to pulls out a crispy straight $10 bill. I’m like that’s not my bill it’s the $20 you moved to the side but give me that $10 bill. Came from outta state place was pretty small and honestly was only fun because WE MADE IT FUN and of course the DJ. But play with somebody else cause I wasn’t that drunk with them water down, more juice then liquor a** drinks

Really nice place. Guards are top notch especially the one named DJ. I remember being there on numerous occasions and hes broke up fights with such grace. While the other guards stood around.

I found this place on a whim with friends. Pros: It was free the night I attended. There is a rooftop and inside dance area. They have hooka and no reservation is needed. Cons: this place gets so crowded its not enjoyable people are so crammed in you cant dance. The drinks were very small and it made no sense to try to walk to the bar in the crowd. Seating is very limited, tables are very small and everyone sits their drink on them so dont put yours down. The music was good (reggae night) but they didnt play much new music.

Didnt get to see the rooftop due to rain but its a nice spot to go to. Only thing bad Id say is the uneven stairs. The security guards do a good thing of warning you !. I would go back. I also didnt eat here so I wouldnt rate the food.

This is far one of my worst experiences and I never complain but had to leave a review because of false advertising found online I feel it was misleading it listed there would be an event with a DJ on the rooftop during happy hour (5pm til 9pm) showed up only to find there was nobody there no DJ no NOTHING there was only 2 bartenders and 1 server on the middle level I felt like I came all the way there for nothing me and my friend bought stuff anyway and nobody barely showed up smfh we even asked if the bartenders were aware of the flyer posting and they had no knowledge of it what a Scam it’s misleading just tell people to come at 9 plain and simple and the rooftop really isn’t all that I was really disappointed the Worse me I just had to make the best of it then we left to go home never again

Honestly, horrible. The food is meh. The drinks are somehow super strong and watery at the same time. The ambiance is dusty. The only reason why it got any stars at all is because the bartender on the rooftop was a sweetheart. Definitely not going back.

They promote an event on 06/24/2023.The event does not comply with any of the information offered:There is no house music, afrobeat, reggae, dancehall, or anything similar. The place is not nice with a pitiful rooftop.I bought tickets with EVENTBRITE and paid for 2 tickets the double of the price.I feel scammed by the place and organizers. The place is totally unpleasant and also the experience and your lies.Never back again!

Had a great time, lots of dancing, $20 to get in. the three different floors were cool cuz you can choose which vibe you want! They were playing a mix of songs for a while. we went on their spanish music night so it switched to Spanish, all kinds of people we’re having fun dancing

Review №47

There is a cover charge of $20- to get in. Its too crowded. Theres No dress code. There were people there that look like they got out of bed, and went straight to the Club without being dressed, looking bummy. On the first floor, the dance floor was super hot and crowded. The second floor had ac, but the music wasnt that good, and the roof top didnt have any music. Ten minutes later, we left this Club. Its like a scam, because they talk so nice about it, until you go inside, then you realize its not worth it.

Review №48

Bought a private booth & bottle service in July for about 6-8 people. The place has 3 floors and they claim each had a different vibe/music but they were all the same - the music was enjoyable enough so that wasnt an issue. The issue was we were told our bottles would remain safe if we were to leave and check out the other floors. After finishing half our liquor, we took them up on that offer only to return to an empty table. We asked the bartenders for our bottles back, waited 20 minutes.. asked again.. waited.. then left. Whether the misinformation was intentional or not, our night was cut short because we followed the advice of the staff. We spoke with a manager who hung up on us after requesting a refund the next day, eventually giving us a bit less than half our money back. If it werent for this, we wouldve had a great time! The verdict, not a bad club, but be wary!

Used to come here to party when I was fresh out of college. Nice setup with three floors, including a rooftop. Each floor has its own DJ, dancefloor, and bar. Not sure what drink prices are since we had an open bar package (for well drinks).They also have a bunch of hookah salesman floating around (at least they did during their NYE 2022 party). Music was mostly Latin with some EDM mixed in.

Drinks werent ridiculously expensive, bartenders and bouncer was really nice and answered all my questions patiently. Was my first time going, but definitely coming back with friends! I went on a Thursday and there were about 5-10 people on both the main floor and the roof so at first I thought the place wasnt worth it, but the music is really good and so is everything else! Theres also a pizza spot right across the street thats open late. Highly recommend!

Trash! This place is ran by scammers. Went for a Halloween event and we were packed in there like sardines. If the fire marshals would of came they would of shut it down. The stairs were packed no one could walk. As we were leaving the bouncers were accepting pocket money to allow ppl in on the side to go straight upstairs. Unbeknownst to them they were being scammed because it was all the same!I am surprised no one got hurt.I will never ever attend this location again.

Went on a Friday night so Dress Code is no graphic t shirts so make sure you come correct. They have security and door person so night I went around 9pm there wasnt a cover then again Im a woman. They told my guy friend that there was a private party going on when in fact the issue was dresscode a simple fix. I get it but why lie to deter certain people from getting in. As an establishment I get you have the right to deter or refuse anyone from entering I worked in nightlife myself. Its a multilevel club with a bar and different music so I headed on rooftop Drinks were great had 2 frozen margaritas ($30) music was cool it got crowded mixed crowd and diverse. Not a bad experience a hidden gem nonetheless.

This place lacks integrity, I came here with a group of about 10. Things went ok, its a bar I celebrated and had too much to drink. I left my sweater. I contacted this place several times to inquire if someone turned in my sweater. I was told to keep calling back and back and back until they just stopped answering my calls. So when you go to the place, please pay attention to your belongings, dont expect integrity.

Came here after a literal fifteen minute excursion at another lounge that could have been great if it hadnt been gearing up for an event. Had low hopes for the night but the moment we walked in it was like a breath of life. Amazing DJ, amazing staff, i didnt even mind the fact that we got there early because the tunes were perfect. Coat check was a like 3$ per coat but Im willing to let that slide because of everything else. 10/10 coming back here again in the near future. Love this place!!

Good after work spot especially the rooftop bar in the summer. I used to go here years ago for the Thursday night parties but then I got a bit older and the younger crowd didnt really appeal to me that much. I recently went back with a friend for Happy hour on the roof. The crowd was great the cocktails were reasonably priced(cash only on the roof) and the ambiance was chilled and relaxing. We also check out downstairs they have definitely done some renovations and it seems decent Im going to have to check out a Thursday or Saturday night there soon.

Review №68

I went with a buddy of mine during their happy hour. Its a nice looking place. Very spacious with sufficient seating. Those are the pros. The cons, for me, were the $25 minimum on payments made with a card. I dont go to bars that often, so perhaps this is standard but Im unaware. Personally I felt that to be unreasonably high. Also, I didnt appreciate our bartender just assuming that when I paid, I was paying for both myself and my buddy. Thats something that you confirm with someone, you dont assume it.

Review №71

Nice spot located in the union square area. Ladies if you are wearing heels or a short dress. I would think about wearing pants due to the fact that you have to take the stairs up to the floors.I had a couple issues with Bar 13, first they checked our ids but never searched us or looked in my purse, secondly after we sat down and got situated a guy who works there came to us and told us that theres a $10 fee for men. They should have given us a pass since no one mentioned that at the door and plus there wasnt anyone at the door to collect money. My second issue is that they allow people to smoke all sorts of paraphernalia inside. That dampened my mood, my eyes were burning, I was getting sleepy, I couldnt wait to leave and get some fresh air. My third issue, cash only at the bar on Sundays.The djs played well. There were a lot of older gentlemen there who thought they were in their 20s dressing like them with their pants hanging down with the baggy clothing and long chains hanging from their necks. People were dressed in their every day entire so theres really no effort being put into their clothing to come out to Bar 13.It will be a while before I return to Bar 13, over all it was cool to just go out and shake a leg.

Really fun place to go out because there’s different music on every floor, but be warned they’re expensive! Hookah is $40 for regular and two shots of Casamigos will run you $35. I definitely recommend going, but if you’re a drinker definitely pre-game (responsibly) beforehand!

I had a great time because of the awesome girl group I was with. The spot is super cute with a nice grown and sexy rooftop.I would have given this place more stars but the CC machine didnt work until after happy hour was over and they couldnt serve food because of technical difficulties with the kitchen.The staff was nice and they gave batchata and salsa lessons on one floor. The Djs were rocking too. It would have been great if the rooftop had a bartender working.Cool spot but I would definitely call ahead of time just to make sure the stove and CC machine is working.

Came for the lobster festival event. The event started at 2, the food ran out within an hour and half which we didn’t even get any food (we got there about 3, and waited in the line, by the time we got up it’s already 3:30). Overall you can just tell the event is a scam, some people paid $15 for the ticket and some pay $25 or even more (heard people paid $40 something for this). I understand it is first come first serve, but they sold like 700 tickets which the food portion is definitely not even enough for 300 people (the food plate size was only about 3-4 inches radius which is barley any food on top). If you planned on going, “do not” go there. Place is disappointed and drinks are terrible.

If you want to be exposed to covid and all its cousins, this is the place! No one was wearing a mask, the Spanish floor was extremely packed and I dont recall seeing the bartenders with masks!!

Review №89

We prearranged table service here with one of their VIP packages. The bouncer accosted us while trying to enter, apparently he didnt believe that we purchased their VIP package even though we had their wristbands that said VIP on them (he acknowledged that they were their wristbands but said they were only good for general admission. We had to settle this dispute with one of his co-workers, he stormed off after a minute). We eventually got seated, only to have to switch tables after an hour because we were placed at the wrong table (even though the first table had our name on it). Nobody showed up to claim our old table, so there was no conflict. When we were finally served after this, the vodka and champagne we were given was cheap. Other table service patrons were waiting longer than we were. The staff looked very disorganized. The club overall looked like it needed to be renovated. Given its located in NYC you can definitely find a better establishment elsewhere.

Paid plenty of money for a private group event which was supposed to be 4 hours long and allow access to a floor and a rooftop with open bar. We weren’t allowed on the rooftop for 2 and a half hours and the bar on our floor closed the bar at 2 hours in, so no one could have drinks for a half hour (BARTENDERS WOULDNT EVEN GIVE US WATER). Finally they let us upstairs and there was a cash bar even though we paid for open bar. After about 15 minutes, we decided to leave because they started allowing other people to come in to our private event. Strongly advise against coming here.

Bar 13 isn’t a bad place to go. Around 10pm I went to their salsa section, and it was free for ladies. You have to pay after 12AM for ladies. The salsa section was super fun, and then me and my friend went to their hip hop section around 12AM, and we each had to pay $20 to get in. The hip hop section was not lit in the beginning, and then as the night progressed it was very fun. The drinks are a bit expensive. I bought one drink, and paid $30, and that’s including a $5 tip. So, you will have a good time, just the drink prices are a little ridiculous

I came here on the NYC Whiskey walk. I loved that there was lots of room to dance and the bar service was fast. The music was great, too.. I think I danced to 3 songs in a row. It was a lot of fun.I look forward to coming back another night to dance!

I went to Bar 13 for New Years, I paid for what was supposed to be VIP tickets. When I arrived people were sitting in my area. My spot was not even reserved. I was forced to pay gratuity for two bottles of cheap champagne which was supposed to be complimentary. I couldnt even move around because it was so crowded. Other guest were fighting in my area, which was supposed to be private. When I tried to speak to management, they were very dismissive and acted as if I didnt matter. I did not get my monies worth. I could have paid the general price and had the same experience. $423 for a second rate experience. Never again.

Do not get table service here. So not worth it unless you will have 20+ ppl in your party drinking. This place needs a make over, desperately. The music was ok but no one to dance with. Upstairs was hip/hop r&b again good music just empty. They need to do a better job of promoting.

Review №101

Sunday evenings reggae party is the most authentic homage to true global reggae culture.Once you arrive at the front door you are greeted by a politely demurred security detail. Present your identification and you are respectfully invited to enter, absolutely no pretenciousness.The space is comprised of three distinctive levels, but my Sunday evening visit was concentrated within the second level, where the reggae party occurs every Sunday evening.Imagine for a moment the best reggae basement party you had ever attended. The space is well illuminated with dimmed light emitting diodes and the furnishing is set far to the side walls, permitting dancers full access to the dance space. There is a pleasant red hue hovering above the entire space that is being generated by a well positioned light bar in the centre of the dance floor.The reggae dancers patronizing the space are compelled to sway and gyrate to the rhythm and tempo of the deep bass that rattles within their bodies.I was no exception; as soon as I had entered the third floor I was captivated by reggae music being meticulously spun and broadcast by a very proficient reggae disc jockey.The atmosphere is certainly deliberately designed for those more interested in dancing than in observing the interior design of the space. The stairwells leading to the different floors are narrow, which demand sensible flat shoes to all of the women who feel the need to wear high heels.The alcohol being served is moderately priced, but charging four dollars for a bottle of water was quite excessive, indeed.I vehemently encourage all genuine reggae music lovers to attend this nostalgic Sunday evening party; this event pays tribute to a time when the music being played with the club was far more important than the interior design.In conclusion, if you do enjoy dancing to reggae music (Rocksteady, Early Reggae, Roots, Dub, Rockers and Dancehall) please venture to Sunday evenings at Bar 13.I shall post photographs subsequent to my next visit on Sunday, July 15, 2018👊

Went to the bar on a Saturday night. Expensive to get in (Men $10 Women $5) given that its completely empty and dead inside.... And by dead I mean all the old people sitting inside. It felt like retirement party. The music was OKAY, but the drinks are overpriced. Not to mention, they have CANs of beer ($6) almost felt like I was at a tailgate party. This place is horrible. Dont waste your time.

Review №103

My friend purchased a Groupon for this place, Two free drinks. I said, Hey, not a bad way to start off Halloween night! We got to the bar pretty early, about 5:45pm. After being frisked and man handled at the door, we went up to a small, mostly empty bar, again we were pretty early. The place lacked seating, so Im sure it wouldve been a better dance floor for the Halloween party. I told my friend we could probably just get our free drinks and chill for a while.Two other couples went up to claim their Groupon as well, when all of the bartenders stated, The online promotion was a mistake. It was supposed to say, Buy one, get one free. I then saw the small dixie cups they were using to serve the drinks. Im not bothered by the plastic ware, since its better to drop a plastic cup on the ground during a big party. Im bothered by the portion size.We left.So I highly doubt the owners will see this review, but Id just like to state that not only do I deal with client relations at my current job, but Im also speaking as a former bartender. I know its stressful to manage a bar at a populated area of the city, let alone on a holiday. My friend and I arrived pretty early, as well as a small hand full of people. This early in the party and when things were this calm; I wouldve owned up to my mistake and honored the Two free drink promotion. Its not worth having disgruntled guests who are now going to not give you business, but also post negative reviews. Since your bar stated that the mistake was your fault, its not difficult for us to get a refund. My friend and I wouldve purchased more drinks and started to have a good time. Your bartenders also lost potential tip, even if the first two drinks had been free. Especially since this happened on a holiday, your bar certainly wasnt a great way to start it off. Id also like to mention that from the doormen, to bartenders, to other staff; no one looked like they were having fun or looking forward to taking care of their guests.Our night started to get better, when we left. Unless the manager would like to resolve this situation, I cannot recommend this bar to anyone.

Pretty great music and strong drinks but weird dress code policy.

I forgot my ID and looked online to see what time it opened up. 7 days a week, from 3pm-4am. With that info I went during the hours only to find out that Bar 13 was closed. I waited for about a hour until 8pm and it was still closed. It was stated that they had an event at 10pm that same evening. I found that to be odd.DJs was cool, a lot of Spanish music and hip-hop on the top floor.

Money hungry! This venue started out great until they continued to pile in customers regardless of space. Expensive VIP tickets were sold for NYE however no VIP experience was offered. They crammed the people in so much so that was unsafe, you couldn’t move to go to the toilet or a drink at the ‘open’ bar. People were pushing, shoving and fights began to start.I would strongly never recommend this venue to anyone. Their greed ruined the night for all that ventured into this revolting establishment!

Went there for the NYE party as a VIP ($140,00 or so). Didnt stay for 20 minutes, so, in other words, I lost that money. Overcrowded. Huge line outside even for VIPs. No good sense of maximum capacity. Impossible to move inside, so imagine to get a drink from one of the 2 bars (now I understand the open bar thing). Dont even consider this place for a NYE. If you are crazy enough, pay the cheapest ticket, there are not differences between the VIP and the regular regarding access or special place inside.Now Im on the streets waiting to spend NYE at any other place, which will be better in any way.Just dont.

Review №116

Have been here so many times, haha. While it has 3 floors (the 2nd, the 3rd, and the rooftop), I give it 3 stars for the sound system. Its usually missing some type of bass, is sometimes crackly, and is overall way too loud for the spot (it is designed more like a lounge). Also, the floors are bit bubbled underneath, like too many drinks have been spilled and it seeped underneath. It almost feels like you may fall through to the ground floor lol.If you can get over the floor and the sound system (with enough drinks in your system haha) you can dance on the dancefloor all night long - on the 2nd OR 3rd floors (sometimes the 3rd floor is closed, sometimes its used for Latin night or the like). The 2nd floor is mostly top 40 or Hip Hop, but sometimes I get tired of hearing the same songs.Many NYU kids party here, given the proximity, but its not a pretentious spot at all. Its got a pretty cheap cover charge, great for college students, haha. The rooftop has nice seating so if its not crowded yet its a great place to sit and chat.This was basically my go-to spot if I - 1. Didnt want to travel to the farthest parts of Manhattan to party (close proximity to Union Square and all of its trains) 2. Didnt want to spend a huge amount of bucks to get in someplace else, or 3. Was looking for a more casual spot to catch up with friends or dance for the night.Bonus: Theres a halal cart down on the corner late at night, if youre stumbling out of here drunk and hungry, lol.

Came here with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday on a Saturday night. We got two bottles and two hookahs total of $600 excluding tip which was about 20% now we headed to the bar to ask for some tap water. The first bartender with brown hair was actually nice. Second time I went to ask for a glass of water the other bartender with the black hair was very rude saying she was actually doing me a favor because apparently they charge $1 for a glass of tap water. Ohh I’m sorry so we’re here spending hundreds of dollars and you have a problem with giving me a glass of tap water? Never heard of a place that even charges for tap water. I guess she really was starving for a dollar.

Do not ever come to this bar!!!!Let me explain what happened...so my friends and I arrived at the club around 1130 and I go to the bar and open a tab with the bartender in which she asked for both my ID and credit card, so I gave it to her and left with my drink. The bar was pretty empty (the rooftop was literally empty) and we were there for about 45 minutes to an hour before security started kicking everyone out and the lights came on. Apparently someone was hit over the head with a bottle. the police were there to investigate so my friend and I go to the bar to close out my tab which was only $14. So we are waiting at the bar and Im watching the bartender cash everyone out except me. my friend and I start getting annoyed cause at this point its been 15-20 minutes of us just waiting. Finally the bartender tells me, THEY LOST MY ID AND CC. HOW DOES A BARTENDER LOSE A CARD WHEN THE BAR IS HALF EMPTY?!Naturally my friend was irritated so she immediately started making smart remarks such as if you werent on your phone all night etc so the bartender who did not say sorry once and was completely and utterly rude about the entire situation did nothing to help. She kept saying were gonna keep looking and check in the back immediately I thought, why on earth would my ID/CC be in the back???Then I have security trying to kick me out asking me if there is a problem and I said yeah your bartenders lost my id/ccMeanwhile all of this chaos with me is going on my friend and the bartender begin to exchange words, she (bartender) was not getting it, they lost my drivers license and credit card. They eventually said they accidentally gave it to someone else which only made matters worse.The police advised us to leave the bar or we would be trespassingl and I had to file a police report and cancel my card right away. I checked my bank account however and my card was charged $36 and was immediately refunded.Ive called the bar and spoke to a man named Eddie who I presumed to be the manager and asked him what the hell was going on. He was entirely confused by the situation and said he would get back to me, its been 2 days and I havent heard anything.This bar is nothing but trouble STAY AWAY

TERRIBLE, UNORGANIZED, AND RUDE, HUSTLERS. AN ABSOLUTE JOKE of a venue. If you want to be finessed out of your money then this is the place for you.Paid a great deal of money for a private party for 4 hours with access to the rooftop and open bar. KICKED US OUT IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS saying they have another party. Promised open bar for 2 hours and closed it after one.Bartender was counting her tips for a whole minute before making eye contact with us. I asked when the open bar will open again and she replied when we open back up again. I then asked I know, but can I get a time when the bar will open again. she replied yeah when we open again. I asked one more time hoping for a estimated time and guess what she said...yup the bar will be open when the bar opens up again Turns out THEY OPENED THE BAR RIGHT AS THEY KICKED US OUT. Couldnt even get a glass of water.DJ was terrible too. It sounded like he was DJing on dinner plates.

I really want to rate this place higher, because I have been here twice and had a good time, but Ive had a few issues, at my birthday party, no less:1 - The guest list person didnt communicate that we had a reservation and that the two birthday girls would be getting free drinks, so one of us paid to get in and the other had to complain to get the group in at the discounted wristband price AND to get a free wristband2 - The bouncers were shoving girls out of the way, whenever they felt like it3 - They tossed our friend out of the bar (LITERALLY THREW HIM DOWN THE STAIRS) because he put his hat on for two seconds (and literally, two seconds because it was the beginning of the night and I hadnt had any drinks. So, standing right next to him, it was ridiculous. This irritates me so much because of the excessive force used AND because there were tons of other people wearing hats THE ENTIRE TIME4 - It was nearly impossible to get to the bar, they need to fix this.But, after all of those issues, I did manage to have a good time and I liked that I had three floors to choose from. I know, can you believe Im giving it three stars? But really, I did enjoy having my party there, just wish things went smoother.

I went here for New Years Eve, and it was the worst experience of my life. NEVER go here. We paid for VIP access, which promised entry at 8:00 pm (got in at 9:30), complimentary coat check ($5 cash only, and service was cut off at 10 so people were still wearing their coats come midnight), and exclusive use of the rooftop patio (VIP status was not checked for and the roof wasn’t heated, even behind the bar). I could not wait to get out of here. They very purposely oversoldthe club and I felt like a human skid puzzle. I may as well have gone to Times Square because that’s how crowded it was.

Got upstairs within 10 min and they ran out of liquor, and it was no food left. Packed like rats and just ghetho and dirty.Maybe I just went on a bad promotion event. But it turned me off.

Smelled like pee walking up the stairs. Also the floor was wet from AC being on the floor. booo. The beer was city beer price. It took forever trying to close my tab, 15 min to much.I wouldnt go again, there are many other rooftop bars in NYC.

The 2 for 1 drink specials for happy hour were a pleasant surprise! The rooftop is small and intimate with nice seating arrangements.

My 2 favorite nights are Tuesdays and Sundays. Tuesday is a Hip-hop night, great crowd, celebrity DJs say Ivette for reduced entry. Sunday is a reggae night

Nothing special. Went for drink after work, not busy at all, but still took forever to get a drink. Then a few in, security comes to take bout seats away from bar just because. Again not busy so didnt understand why. We decided to just leave after that.

The semi-open, tiny roof space can be fun if it isnt crowded, and the 2-for-1 happy hour is always cheap, but otherwise this bar can range from empty to full of weirdos. A union sq locations leaves it open to just about anything and anyone.

If you are looking to have fun with people from different countries, then, that is your club. It has three floor and each one plays amazing music, like Latin music, hip hop, Zumba, etc.

Im a Sikh and wasnt allowed to enter because I have to keep my hair covered and I had on a white bandana. Their are two racists bouncers that dont realize they work a minimum wage job and arent the law and have punched me in the face while I was pulling my friend away not to mention that it was a suckerpunch for no reason. I would never visit. Terrible management.

A nice little bar , with a surprisingly awesome upstairs roof deck.It gets a little crapped up there but if you make up there after work or when its not busy its a really great place to chill , and have a few drinks at fair prices.

We got charge $250 for a New Year’s Eve party. vIP table with appetizers, gray goose vodka bottle & top shell champagne. We got crown venue. It really need to be shut down for over over selling and false advertisement. We got cheap vodka and drunk people

Great music and vibe.. security is extremely rude and inappropriate... I saw one dude harassing a female that was in the party after she explicitly told him she was not interested in him. It was inapprorpiate and creepy..

Terrible. We paid for a 4 hour open bar, and we were given open bar for only 1 hour. They would not even let in the people in our party that had paid for the event, but they did let in random people who were not in our party. We were also promised two floors, plus the rooftop, which they had blocked off even though we had paid for it. Do not do any future events here.

No one is dancing. Acts like a club but no one is clubbing. Not really worth entrance. Nice photo spot though! (Bring a group to make it lit)
