What People Are Saying About Belmont Lounge
The Editor

In Short
Nestled between Irving Plaza and Union Square, this cozy, dimly lit bar toes the line between swanky meet market and well-worn party bar. In the early evening, a crowd of local professionals dominates the front bar, chatting over appetizers and cold beers; as night falls, a younger swarm of singles takes over the blue velvet couches in the back lounge, where a DJ churns out an endless string of crowd-pleasers, and slender cocktail waitresses traipse about, balancing trays of martinis.
Hits: A door policy that's just relaxed enough, without being a free-for-all, produces a good crowd and an even match-up of guys and girls.
Misses: It's hard to know what to expect--some nights, it's a packed house by 11pm; other nights, it may begin to thin out during what should be prime-time drinking hours.

I've heard a lot about Reggae Sunday so i decided to give it a try............The music was great playing all the underground reggae song some places are scared to play..........It can get overly croweded, but due to large demand things like that happen..........You definelty can get your "Dutty Wine" on.............Mix crowd i love it......will be back again.............

last week a bunch of my girlfriends and I got together for a school reunion and decided to have it @ Belmont Lounge... Great choice!!! Our waitress was great and the music was just right... One of the good things that Ive noticed was that they have an extensive food selection, not your typical bar food, and their wine selection is impressive. we went through 3 bottles. someone there knows a thing or two about wine. as the night went on, after a few drinks we were able to dance to the groovy beats. and us smokers didnt have to deal with the bitter cold, we were able to escape into the back pattio. all in all we all recomend this place!!!

Hi I'm the GM of Belmont Lounge and here what happened about that incident. This was on Saturday December 13th 2008, this gentleman's friend called few weeks before and made a reservation for his 40th birthday party. When the event coordinator made the reservation, he was promised a couch and a booth. On the set day, the birthday boy came in but without his friend that made the reservation. Upon request, I directed them towards the couch and the booth that was reserved for them, he turns around and tells me that he was guarantied all the 3 couches. mind you that in the whole venue there are only 3 big couches that seats 15 people each, also there was a party of 80 people that had on the same night booked the two remaining couches for a total of $2,500.00 in bottle service. So I told him that the other 2 couches were booked a month in advance and even showed him my reservation book where it says that only 1 couch and 1 booth were reserved for him. He refused and stated yelling and even went over to the other couches and ask the other customers to get of the couches, that is when I went over to him and told him that he could take his party somewhere else. Because to me that was a total disrespect for my establishment. Nowhere in NYC lounge or nightclub you can go and occupy all the major tables without a minimum tab or bottle and bottle commitment. We were even nice enough to give you 2 tables without any bottles or tab commitment. And by the way the comp bottle of Veuve yellow label, I'm the one that sent that to your table not a waitress because I felt that no one should get into an argument on the birthday eventough you were beeing totally disrecpectful to me, my staff , and our establishment. A waitress cannot comp a bottle without my approval. Please know that I do not like to disrespect other. I'm posting this so that people that read your review can read this one and judge for themselves. The General Manager Of Belmont LOunge
