What People Are Saying About Onyx
Featured Review

The Scene – Don't be fooled by its name; the interior of Onyx is almost entirely blue. The walls of this spacious West Village nightspot are the azure of a moonless night sky, and blue couches adorned with a hypnotic spiral pattern greet bargoers at every turn. The friendly atmosphere and warm, please-come-again vibe from the staff make the mood of the place anything but blue. – – The Draw – A 20-something crowd packs both the front of the bar and the airy separate lounge. Scores of sofas and tiny tables that can serve as seating in a pinch mean that no one has to…
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- Order any appetizer, sandwich or entree during happy hour, from 4pm to 7pm on Mondays and get a free draft beer.
- What to Drink:
- Try the Sleeping With the Enemy, a guilt-inducing mix of champagne, peach schnapps and cranberry and orange juices.

Avoid When Crowded
by b00pi3flak3s at Citysearch
It can be so crowded in here that a little body rubbing is inevitable, especially at the bar. There is no denying the cheap drink prices, as the place tends to attract a lot of random folks who are looking for a good time at night. The bartenders and bouncers were extraordinarily nice, which makes this a destination worth heading to -- early in the night that is.
- Pros: Prices, Service, Music
- Cons: Crowded On Weekends, Small
Great place!

I had my birthday party at Onyx (about 30 people). The service is great - everyone was very accommodating. It was a fun, low key place. The music was good and overall, my experience was very positive. There was no problems for people getting in. You should definitely check it out!
Great for a party
by laura14 at Citysearch
I threw a party here the other weekend and couldn't have been happier. Jeff was so great when I called and reserved half of the lounge for us (about 25 people). People got there before me and had no problem getting back there, and the cocktail waitress as well as the bartenders behind the bar were great. It's a small place and got pretty crowded, but was never insanely packed. Drinks were reasonable and overall a great time!
Best Lounge in the Village
by loracelest at Citysearch
There is something for everyone here. Plasma screen TVs with the game on or an extensive cocktail menu with drinks like "sleeping with the enemy" a fruity champagne drink. The food menu rivals that of a nice resturant's. I had a great time with my girls on Wednesdays when it was happy hour all night long.
