What People Are Saying About Happy Ending

Happy Ending
Owner
Happy Ending's former life was an erotic massage parlor and has been transformed into a club with two floors, each with its own feel. The street level pays homage to the lounge ideal of the days of Frank Sinatra. Set-in red velvet booths offer just the right amount of privacy to engage in a little intimacy, but are public enough to hold court among an endearing crowd. Downstairs kitsch reigns among the original tiling and waist height shower heads, the sauna rooms turned private party coves and the original etched glass swan and naked female mirror. All combine for an intimate, almost indecent…

The Scene – This former massage parlor makes a swish stop in this swiftly gentrifying neighborhood. Lounge in banquettes on the ground floor, or descend to the DJ-ready basement, where the original steam rooms have been renovated as tiled booths. The name is a reference to the coy way in which the space's previous occupants used to offer clients a finale to their massage. – – The Draw – The vibe is hip and fresh and attracts many of the fashion-forward young things who patronize the avant-garde boutiques nearby.

Great Place for a party
by Mangoluvr at Citysearch
I had my birthday party at Happy Ending recently and the staff was incredibly friendly, showed me to my table and let my party know where they could find me. Overall, I had a good night and I have the staff of Happy Ending to thank!
- Pros: Good music, friendly staff
- Cons: Bar gets a little crowded at times

Great lounge/club
by psunyc at Citysearch
I just had my birthday there with about 20-25 people. Not only were reservations free with no cover or bottle service but they gave my group the huge couch area downstairs and the adjoining shower room. The waitress was was great and nobody was ever without a drink. Besides our group, the place always has a good crowd with good looking girls and I've never seen a fight there (then again, it's a bar fights happen)
- Pros: easy free reservations, avg NYC price drinks, girls
- Cons: none

The street level pays homage to the lounge ideal of the days of Frank Sinatra.

Downstairs kitsch reigns among the original tiling and waist height shower heads, the sauna rooms turned private party coves and the original etched glass swan and naked female mirror. All combine for an intimate, almost indecent atmosphere that harkens back to a pre-Giuliani New York with a touch of 1960s Las Vegas. A diverse clientele drawn by the distinctive style, consistently good music and an over-abundance of sex appeal from their fellow patrons drink in the atmosphere nightly.
