Editorial Review for Sutra Lounge – by Erin Behan
In Short
The upstairs bar and lounge glows in shades of red, with the velvet draping and the low lighting adding to the sexy air. Another party rages just down the mirrored stairs. The cave-like basement room has a separate DJ and bar, with tight seating. The velvet rope seems mere formality most nights and doesn't deter the young, diverse clientele.

The Roots 'Rising Down Album release was held at Sutra last Monday night, the venue offered an intimate setting among fans and music industry folks alike. I was about to head home for the night around 1am when my friend texted me that Mos Def was right outside, so I stayed later than anticipated. Lucky that I did or I would have missed the highlight of the night when ?uestlove got on deck and everyone just flowed with it, creating the good connective vibe amongst everyone. The music kicked off and cheers erupted. Mos Def and Black Thought got on the mic and basically rocked it which was very exciting to see. The party went on well past 2am but I can’t party like I used to on a weekday so it was quits for me after they got on. Just a week later I was at the Erykah Badu and The Roots show at Radio City Music Hall and Black Thought actually shouted Sutra out from center stage as the place to be for the after-party. Sutra was packed but not to the point where you simply cannot enjoy yourself. Upstairs was ?uestlove and downstairs had DJ Spinna. Both of them played some really great music and a few members of the Roots were there along with Mos Def who was there just chillin with his gf in the corwd. Only in New York...gotta love it!
Pros: This place respects music and people
Cons: The secret of how cool this place is is getting out

I've been going to Sutra for nearly 4 years. It amazes me how in all this time it has never gotten stale. Every weekend the DJ's are on point and every week somthing great is going on. Last week the The Roots did their Album release party and Mos Def performed while Questlove DJ'd! I mean thats what Im talking about! Over the years this two floor lounge has blown up and the weekends can get really busy.. but I just make a reservation by calling and asking to put my name on the list. We've never had a problem getting in, the vibe is always good, the people are cool and the service is great. Its always my first recommendation for any of my friends birthdays or whatever. Love it.
Pros: Great vibe, music, people, service
Cons: very busy...best to make reservations on the weekends
