What People Are Saying About 49 Grove

Featured Review

Erin Behan

Contributor

In Short – It seems as if everybody's going for the same roster of A-list celebrities, fashion plates, and people with money to burn. To compete, this lounge promises patrons access to Mercedes S500s, a handpicked wine list, inventive cocktails, plus extravagant munchies of caviar and foie gras. The basement space has a main bar, two lounges and a VIP room. A mix of eclectic European music sets the soundtrack for decadence.

Editor's Tips

Fun Fact:
The bar was designed and conceived by Hamptons restaurateur Aram Sabet, co-owner of Pacific East.

  2. The prices we very reasonable and the services was great!
  3. was at this place last saturday and I had a great time, the music was good, drinks was cheap and the people was so hot!
  4. already decorated with beautiful blue candles, dimmed lights, 52 inch plasma screens, huge mirrors, stylish tables, buckets, fireplaces, unique wash rooms, and Ralf Lauren style wallpapers.
  5. The drinks are expensive.
  6. Drinks seemed to be a reasonable price - all in all, won't be going back soon, but if I do and it's different, I'll be sure to update.
  7. Their prices are competitive with other nice establishments in the city and the crowd is much better than the touristy, crowded Village hang-outs.
  8. a brothel somewhere in the fourth world willing to pay 10 cents on the dollar for those hideous couches and cheesy pile carpet.
  9. Then, we went downstairs to the bar, where the drinks were overpriced, and there was actually no reason why they didn't let us in - IT WAS EMPTY.
  10. hate cheap people, too, and it stinks that some bartenders get stiffed.
  11. Additionally, each expensive bottle was consumed by other infiltrating people present in the vicinity.
  12. love Pink Elephant but I enjoyed the prices a 49grove better.
  13. Fake lines (to make themselves seem more 'popular'), expensive drinks, a-hole bouncers.
  14. Drinks are expensive, but I don't know if that's just a new york thing.
  15. The decor and couches are nice but other than that it's not worth coming here.
  16. The place was fully booked and had a huge line outside and only allowed guests in that had reservations.
  17. There was so much food that we took huge doggie bags home and ate cold left overs at 4am and my fridge is full of horsdouvers.

FOR A GREAT NIGHT........

by BIGDADDEE66

WOW! WE WOUND UP @ 49 GROVE FROM A TRAVEL ZOO VOUCHER (GREAT DEAL IF YOU CAN GET IT). WE WENT AFTER A NICE DINNER AND WOW WERE WE HAPPY! THE SERVICE WAS IMPECCABLE. THE STAFF COULD DO ENOUGH FOR US. THEY BROUGHT US WHATEVER WE NEEDED. THE ATMOSPHERE WAS GREAT. THE MUSIC WAS A DROP TOO LOUD, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE ARE RUNNING BACK TO THE "GROVE". IT WAS THE PERFECT WAY TO CONTINUE A TERRIFIC NIGHT.

Great Night Out!

by The SuperVixen

I went to 49 Grove for the 1st time Satuday night. I purchased two vouchers via Gilt City for an hour open bar and VIP bottle service. I was skeptical because I bought a few vouchers for things from Groupon and they sucked, but not Gilt City!

There was a little confusion at the door but the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Maria our waitress was the best! All of the guys who waited on us were really good too. (I think they got a bunch of hugs from some of my party at the end of the night LOL) We were so glad to be in VIP because the place was absolutely packed! We bought more bottles because we enjoyed it so much. They made sure our ice and mixers were always full and brought us cold water at the end of the night. I think we stayed til closing....

The music was really good and all of my friends had a great time. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone!

Awesome Service

by abarz

I went there for the first time with a certificate I bought on GiltCity. It was a super deal and was able to bring 10 people with no cover, skip the line, and a bottle service with this certificate. I went there with 6 other people and we had an awesome time. We did end up buying 3 more bottles but the service was so good, we just didn't want to leave. The waitress was very attentive and the busboys were constantly making sure we had enough ice and pairings. I will definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a great time with music all night long

A really great time!

by jnunciato

WoW this was definitely not what I expected! I'm more of a bar person myself but there was a deal for a discount bottle on Rue La La so I thought I would give this place a try. We were celebrating my friends birthday and they couldnt have been more accomodating. Not only was out waitress a pleasure, but the bus boy was friendly and even the bouncers were joking around with us. Just not your average atomsphere from such a high scale setting. I was blown away and will be going again!
