What People Are Saying About The Urge Lounge

The Scene – An ingenious, two-tiered bar--high on one side, low on the other, with untold cruising sightlines--dominates this space, whose mirrors and plasma screens help open up its railroad layout. Ultrasuede banquettes, creamy pillows and a conversation-friendly DJ also make it easy to spend time here. Nightly attractions (in addition to the clientele) include Ass Wednesdays with prize money for the best butt, as well as go-go boys on weekends.

Very relaxed, but then there are go go boys
by wisebrain at Citysearch
This place has a very lounge feel, then there are go go boys which are kind of out of place. The drinks are typical for NY.
In response to the "Lemon and Lime" comment
by asturias at Citysearch
The reason the bartender doesn't know the difference between a lime and a lemon is because he is one of the many Colombians, that have come to this country and never bothered to learn English. By the way, his Spanish is not understandable either, I'm from Spain, don't you think I would know??
no lime only lemons!!

great large space. interesting layout that has potential. downstairs bathroom area is filthy. No attitude detected the few times i was there. I ordered dietcoke with lime and consistently received lemon. If you dont have lime just say so. The decor is bla and the bartenders are okay. No big deal.
- Pros: location is cool
- Cons: dirty bathroom
A Great Place on the East Side

I have never had a bad time at Urge! But, I do wish that the down stairs lounge would reopen.
The dancers are HOT (some can even move to the music) and are very friendly.
The bartenders are fun, especially Dennis. Nice mix of gay gents.
You can get a date and not have to worry about hustlers.
Wish they had a dance area. Game/Event nights are fun.
One complaint about the customers: Guys bring their Hags with them and they stay too long.
Sorry if you cant get a date girls, but don't ruin my chances. Obviously Urge is a fun place for all!
Its Great to have a fun place on the east side!
- Pros: I never had a bad time at Urge! Event nights.
- Cons: Lower lounge needs to reopen
Warm and friendly fun.

A nice place to start off the evening. Loungey atmosphere with mellow friendly crowd. Clean and nicely decorated. Fun drag shows.
- Pros: mellow and cool atmosphere.
- Cons: kinda small
