What People Are Saying About King Size Inc

"King size" is definitely a play on words here. At first glance, the small bar appears to be like any other chill neighborhood spot. Its exposed brick walls, low lighting and comfy stools make it easy to sidle up to the bar and stay a while. Past the front bar, however, two more intimate nooks hide. One raised slightly above the bar shares space with a DJ booth and has low seating. The other--sunken in the back--feels like a private party room; its walls are covered in a red, green and white leafy motif, and plush seating rims the room. Weeknights pull in a mixed, relaxed late-night crowd representative of the neighborhood, and weekends feature DJs playing funk, hip-hop and broken beat.

This is NO LONGER the cool hip hop place that people have commented about. It is under new management and it now has a dark feeling to it. The decor is nice but the music is more of Nina Simone and french pop. They don't serve mixed drinks. Its not a party spot. Alittle weird and shady. Nice back room tho.

I had my bday party here and it was perfect... they held the back room for us, the owner was more than attentive- all night he made sure everyone was happy and if there was anything at all that we needed it was done. The music was on point all night, my friend is a hiphop connoisseur and was in heaven. Prices were very reasonable, especially for Manhattan. All my guests had a great time- hope 2 make this a regular late night stop on my weekends

Went for the first time Friday night and loved it. The dj was awesome... music wasnt all mainstream top 40s, was classic, real hiphop, a little bit of 80s and some funk in there too. Small space but it wasnt too crowded. Loved the crowd, no Bridge and Tunnels, just people trying 2 have a good time. Pole in the back room looks like it may be dangerous after a few drinks... Will be going back soon!
