Editorial Review for Stir – by Karen Hudes
The Scene
Inviting chocolate brown couches with sueded pillows lure guests to the back area of this long, slim lounge. Music at a low volume makes the space accommodating for dates as well as for an engagement toast with the girls, and the post-work hours offer a refreshing amount of open seating. The only ambient drawback is the overhead lighting, which hits some spots too directly.
The Draw
Upscale bites such as seafood wontons, shrimp cocktail and fresh guacamole for two make up the menu. As an alternative to pub fries, the bar serves red potatoes stuffed with cheddar cheese, spinach and bacon--a distinctive, hearty drink accompaniment. If too much flair ruins a drink for you, stay away from the house cocktails, with names like Lucky, Mojo and Flirt; they tend to be sweet and fruity.

Good atmosphere and great place to get girlie drinks, but don't count on real martinis here. Classic gin martini? nah. Manhattan up? nope. sorry, go for the cosmo instead.

We're so glad we found this great bar on the UES! Getting away from the other pubs or the "wannabe" clubby places is so refreshing. From the great drinks (lots of sugar and candy!) to really tasty and well portioned appetizers, Stir is an all around solid package. I brought a 2nd time date here and it was the perfect place. Just crowded enough, but not so much where you're getting pushed around and the music was great - not so loud that you had to shout. Highly Recommended!
Pros: Great music, fun girly drinks and intimate atmosphere
Cons: Not as secret as it used to be.
