The weekend crowds detract from this hideaway's best-kept-secret vibe. – – The Draw – Black-clad 30-something locals and business trippers mix over decadent (and decadently priced) cocktails such as the…

Great Service, Good music, Strong Drinks
by mblaze311
I came in a couple weeks ago on a Wed night and this place was jumping We got one of those little private banquettes, and had a sick time. Our waitress gave us impeccable service, and was not only on top of her game but had a great personality too. (A rarity amongst most lounges in the city)!! I definitely recommend stopping in her during the week for some drinks and debauchary!!!

The worst bartenders in the city!
by dudely1150
It was just shocking how rude the bartenders were... one of them spoke exceptionally rudely with my date for no reason whatsoever!! Not just the guy behind the counter but also the female bartender who later refused to serve us coz we refused (obviously!) to tip the guy after the way he spoke to her. it was the worst experience i've ever had with a NYC establishment and I for one am NEVER going back to this place... do yourselves a favor and leave this wanna be bar of your radar.
- Pros: good location
- Cons: TERRIBLE SERVICE!
