The Scene – Located right off Broadway in the outskirts of Soho, Gatsby's is a destination spot for post-frat boy weekend partyers who, after numerous shots and pints, spill out onto the street and scream hello to anyone with breasts. The F. Scott Fitzgerald literary reference is all but lost on this place, which, in appearance and vibe, is more akin to the Hard Rock Cafe than an intellectual salon. – – The Draw – The well-scrubbed interior is somewhat romantically decorated with candles and soft, cozy seating that surrounds the bar area. Although the weekends can be…

WARNING THEY DILUTE THEIR ALCOHOL!!
by Marisa52288 at Citysearch
So I decided to give a new bar a try and this place got pretty good reviews.. I'm a recent college grad that goes out in the city every weekend and I used to bartend so I know a good bar when I see one.. I can see how this can be a fun bar, with the good DJ and all, but they dilute their alcohol. I told the bartender that my last $9 drink had no alcohol in it and so I saw him pour almost the entire glass full of tequila and a splash of sprite and the drink still only tasted like sprite. I know most bars dilute their alcohol but this is RIDICULOUS ... DO NOT go there unless you want to spend $9 on water
College Vibe Without 23 Year Olds

I love bars that play Miley Cyrus and allow me to dance my pants off - but hate being the only person in the bar that is in my mid-twenties, and has a full-time job. Gatsby's is the place that plays great music and doesn't make a 25 year old feel like they are the oldest person in the bar. If you want to listen to Black Eyed Peas with Footloose tossed in, Gatsby's should be on your to-do list. For the party-poopers, there is also plenty of seating so people can relax in between songs.
- Pros: great music, mid20s crowd
- Cons: so dark you can't see who you are dancing with

Dont know about anybody else but I had a great time here last night.
Bouncers were friendly, music was pumping, bartenders were fast and the drinks were strong. What more can you want?? Oh yeah girls!! There were plenty, some girl was having her birthday party here and all of her friends were HOT.
Our waitress was drop dead gorgeous as well.
Had such a good time that im booking my birthday here!
- Pros: Friendly Bartenders, Lots of girls!! Hot Waitress!
- Cons: None
Great place to hang out!

I went there with my girl friends and had a great time. Both the service and food were great. The sports bar had a lot of cute men..very unpretentious.
- Pros: good food, great service, fun atmosphere
Aching for one star

Well my friend and I decided to try this place for a quick birthday meal. HMMMMM Where do I start??? Do I talk about the bug my sister found in her cosmopolitan (and the waitress at first insisted we still be charged for it). Or do I talk about the hot sauce that was mistakenly substituted in place of marinara sauce. We all ordered sandwiches and we were the only other group in the bar besides 2 other people and yet these sandwiches took almost an hour to come out. I thought I ordered lobster from the dock or something. Service was so horrible and we decided not to tip. Not only did this bitch a waitress think her service was great, she approached me to tell me that they work off of tips and that I did not tip her (UUM YEAA, cuz ya didnt deserve it)
Hated this place.....
- Pros: nice looking place
- Cons: Sucky Waitress
