I will never go back!!.
We went to Flatiron Lounge for wine last night and ordered a bottle between three of us (1 1/2 glasses each). We ordered a second bottle and after about fifteen minutes, the staff turned on all the lights and turned the music off and just started staring at us. The bartender was really rude.
I get that they wanted to go home, but then don't sell us the second bottle. That was so rude and tacky that I will never go back there. There are so many great bars in NYC, I would rather spend my money somewhere where you get good service.

Best old-fashioned in NYC. Seriously. If you're a gin fan, ask for a Twentieth Century, it's a fabulous drink. I'm a loyal bourbon drinker and have tasted many an old-fashioned in NYC; this is the best. Avoid on weekends, it's far too crowded, but as an after-work destination, it's ace.

Best place in NYC so far.... We went to Flatiron Lounge without knowing much about the place and we were amazed about the service and the drinks - PERFECT! From the girl and the bouncer at the door to the waitress, the drinks and the rest rooms - everything was excellent. A re-visit next time we come to NYC is a must!!!

the unfortunate manager....
I have been a loyal customer of Flatiron since it opened- I've entertained clients there and even hosted a large party there. On a recent visit I was in with a group of 5 coworkers after work. We stayed until 10.30- with a bar tab of over $250. When I went to pay the bill I noticed that they charged $4 for a glass of club soda. I asked the waitress about it who agreed that it was a ridiculous charge, and sent the manager over. The manager immediately became defensive, stating that it was normal for New York, that I was wrong and that she refused to take it off. I found myself arguing over the stupid charge, and eventually (more to end the discussion), gave up and asked her to run my card. She refused and told me that it was my waitress?s job.
It is an unfortunate trend in New York to treat good, paying customers awfully. I thought this bar was immune, based on previous pleasant experiences there. I am more then happy to pay $15 for a martini, as long as it comes with a little service and not a $4 glass of carbonated tap water with a lot of attitude! I will NOT be back.

Really great drinks!.
We went and had one their flights. It was very tasty. The drinks are made with a lot of flair and fun. Cool decor. Yes the drinks are expensive, but really no more than anywhere else in Manhattan!!
Loved it.

Delicious cocktails. I never write on these things but my experience here was so perfect I wanted to share it. Went last night, Friday. Me and my friends had such an amazing time. The drinks took some time to get as the place was busy but they were delicious. We follwed the bartenders suggestions and I had a Beijing Peach (best cocktail on the menu), My boyfriend had a Sorello and the Mint Jules which were also delicious. The Ginger Mint Lemonade is great. The bar treats are good too but you have to ask. Place is chill but professional. One of the best experiences I have had in a bar in long time.

Great cocktails and service.. Went there last night after dinner, with my wife. Spectacular cocktails. The bartender was busy but he took the time to suggest some cocktails. Can't wait to go back.

Good Dirty's.
This place is good to start at....the drinks are an expensive pop and they do have a lot of variety but they all probably have some BS mix in them. I stuck with a traditional dirty and it was made well. No complaints other than the price. They have free kirkland brand mix to chomp on as you are chatting.
stay for a drink and bolt....don't hang around too long, there isn't much scene.

Out of this world coctails. This place may make the best cocktails that I have ever had. And for a 'high end' place the service was surprisingly nice and not snotty. The drinks prices are expensive but worth it.
