There are plenty of couches for relaxing, and even a TV monitor in the bar so you can avoid the crowd and still keep an eye on the stage. Exclusive types will flock to…
Great Live Misic Venue!

Terrible Service, Depressing Ambiance
by mgold at Citysearch
Wow. I have never received such terrible service from any bar/club/lounge before in my life. The owner/head bartender was the biggest sleezeball...especially considering we brought approx 150 people to the bar for a birthday party, which is about 142 more then they've ever seen before. Since you're in the meatpacking industry already, try one of the hundred other places that I guarantee will show you a MUCH better time. I'd be shocked if this place stayed around for even another month or two.
- Pros: none
- Cons: Horrific service, Depressing Ambiance, Discordant Music
