Editorial Review for Grand Bar & Lounge – by Ben Widdicombe
The Scene
You'll probably need a raise if you plan to hang out often at the bar of the swank Soho Grand Hotel. Its comfy chairs and clubby atmosphere don't come cheap, with pricey martinis served in tumblers and a confidently overpriced selection of appetizers on the menu. The large floor area means that service can be slow even when the lounge isn't busy, although you have to sympathize with the waitresses who clip back and forth in their stiletto boots.
The Draw
The well-chosen roster of downtempo DJs attracts a crowd of stylish after-work drinkers, who blend seamlessly with the well-heeled hotel guests. Try a superb Grand Margarita (Sauza Commemorativo, Cointreau, fresh lime and OJ) or the Perfect 10 (stoli vanilla, pineapple juice, lemon and lime), and soak in the special-occasion atmosphere that makes it all feel worthwhile.

Grand Bar and Lounge, as well as the Salon, are a great place to spend an evening out with your sexiest friends! They are really kickin', hot djs (Ursula1000), beautiful bartenders, really good food and, I must say, recent changes to the wine list are quite a treat. Try a glass of NY Reisling, I was surprised that good wine was produced in New York State! Other highlights from my night drinking were an excellent glass of Pinot Muenier (what is that?) and the staff was so helpful.
Pros: wine, scene, atmosphere
