The Scene Elegant, understated, and supremely dark, this W Hotel bar's focal point is the gold-tinged backlit bar shelf stocked high with colorful liquor bottles. The rest of the decor--leather seating, mirrors, candles, black-and-white photographs of happy people--fades into the background so as not to take away from the real attraction--the crowd. Cute foreign twentysomething males and middle-aged businessmen flirt with friendly waitresses and scope out the pretty women. The Draw Bottles are big here and run the gamut from tequila to champagne. The creative cocktail list changes monthly,…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Weekdays attract an upscale, after-work crowd while weekends draw more of a bridge-and-tunnel clientele.
- Know Before You Go:
- There's no food available, so be prepared before imbibing the potent martinis.

not a bad night spot
by nellyblings
price is decent. pretty standard i'd say. the people are okay to socialize with. The bar tender was HOTT!! and thats all i really need to go by again! ;)
odious atmosphere, sleazy clientele
by koff
This is basically just a grab a cheap tart bar for high earning New York divorcees and adulterers. Greeted by a disinterested coat check girl, served by a thoroughly disinterested bargirl our only other interaction with the staff was a bouncer opening the door as we left. Having sampled my fair share of similar bars in England I can only say that I have never experienced an atmosphere as contemptible and sleazy in my life.
Hard to pick out the stand out points of the night, from the frankly hilarious bar prices to the entertaining circus of grey haired grandads conspicuously overspending on the twentysomething girls giving the atmosphere of a Bangkok bordello.
The true highlight of the night however had to be the point at which drunken man stood up to push my wife out of the way so as to enable the women he was with to get a better look at a man she proclaimed to 'fancy'. as a result of this little disagreement I was able to persuade the miscreant, with a little help from my right fist, that remaining in his seat would be a far more comfortable and painless way of spending his evening.
Suffice to say I would only recommend this nasty little hole to those men that don't have the freedom within their relationship to pay for genuine pro's or to females looking to pay off a loan or overdraft in exchange for intercourse with a man at least 30 years their senior.
- Pros: close to restaurant we ate in
- Cons: customers, staff, atmosphere, ambience
Strongest Margaritas
by SexySlinky
Love WHISKY BLUE, The cocktails are awesome. At WB I love to dress with class, check me out and see for yourself. The service is adequate,(meaning someone doesn't bother you ever 5 minutes asking if you want something else). Bartenders know their stuff, WHISKY BLUE rocks with class.
If you are hungry, you don't have to leave, just talk to your waitress, she will fix you up. It's full of beauiful people who dress to shock. So don't be shy, try WHISKY BLUE if you dare.
- Pros: Very Trendy
The Good: Not a Sausage Bar. The Bad: WAY too expensive
by carlyle
Well, at least chicks DO go there, but the drinks are overpriced ($10 for a glass of wine" c'mon already!). Also, it is the "scene," but hey---once in a while one wants to be part of the scene!
great place
