A former neighborhood dive gets a new look, a new clientele, and a stringent new door policy to match.

Expensive and Crowed

by vballer2010

We were there for a fundraiser and had drink specials as part of the deal for the party. First time I attempted to go to the bar was my last one: the bartender was in the worst mood ever for a Friday night over populated environment, super slow with the drinks and overcharged me for the drink specials! I was expecting a $25 charge and she came up with $55!!! The DJ was good but that was it! Not going back there anytime soon... ;-(

  • Pros: Music
  • Cons: Pricey, Bad Mood Bartenders, Crowed

5 thumbs Down!!

by Straight

Did not have a good experience and would not recommend ANYONE to go..

From the person who collects $$ @ the door, who is not personable and just mean, to management who doesn't care how staff treats patrons, nor who's interested in rectifying any issues/complaints.

I am a really laid back and open minded person, willing to listen and discuss a problem, and I wrote and email to the manager who did not even have the courtesy to respond!

  • Cons: Staff is very Unprofessional!!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

by brett03

Went here this past weekend with my friends for a birthday party. The lounge was filled with a great crowd. Everyone at the birthday party had fun night, drinks werent to expensive. The DJ played great music mostly a good mix of rock and top 40. I would recommend this to anyone looking to party.

  • Pros: great lounge

GREAT FOR GROUP PARTIES

by sara72

MYSELF AND 1 OF MY BEST FRIENDS HAD A DOUBLE BIRTHDAY PARTY AT MANNAHATTA A COUP;E OF WEEKS AGO. WE FOUND THAT THE MANAGEMENT WERE VERY CORDIAL AND HELPFUL WITH PLANNING THE EVENT AND EVERYTHING WENT OF WITHOUT A HITCH. DRINKS WERE STRONG AND TASTY, CHECK OUT THE COCKTAIL LIST. THE DJ WAS FAB AND WE GOT IT ALL FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS TO ANYONE LOOKING TO THROW A PARTY

  • Pros: GREAT STAFF
  • Cons: THEY CLOSE AT 4AM
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great Party & Food

by joebalsey

Went here for my holiday party a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. The place was a little crowded, but what you would expect for a space of this size. The food was really delicious - I think they got it from a local restaurant on Clinton Street. Everybody we dealt with was really hospitable. Highly recommend for a group or party.

  • Pros: Food, Drinks, Service
  • Cons: A little tight
