Private Party Room -- A++. The facts: Had a Saturday night private party for a group of friends in the back room. Our own bar and bartender, bathroom, self-coat check, hi-def TV. Did 3 hour top shelf open bar package and ordered platters of food. First Class all the way.

The review: Owner Jon did a fantastic job of quickly responding to my numerous questions while planning the party, and Manager Luka was responsive and made sure we got exactly what we wanted, when we wanted it. Super location, nice atmosphere, good service, delicious food and great drinks. A real rarity to find a place in Manhattan where they do what they promised. Now I just need an excuse to have another private party at Stone Creek.

Best Birthday Party ever!!. Had my brithday party here on 7/26/08. Jon was easy to work with leading up to the event and the staff was amazing the night of. There were NO problems at all during the night... which if you ever had a party w/75 of your closest friends... there is always some sort of issue that pops up. The party went so well that 3 friends have asked for Jon's information so that they can hold their birthday events at the bar later in the year. Besides being a great spot to have a party... its also a wonderful neighborhood bar!

Great Birthday Party Experience. I had been to Stone Creek Bar & Lounge for a drink one night with friends, and since I liked the low key atmosphere and the space, I decided that I wanted to have my birthday party there. When I called the bar to inquire about the space, I was immediately put in touch with the manager, Jon Pirozzi (featured on the Citysearch video clip), with whom I discussed the party details with. Since the back room was already taken, Jon gave me the front of the bar with plush velvet couches and the area surrounding there. There was no charge or paperwork to sign...just a phone call...party planning can't get any easier than this. I did touch base with Jon closer to the party to let him know that I had about 60 people attending, and he assured me that none of my friends will have any problems getting into the bar. Jon was right. My friends got in with no problem. The bar manager for the night of my party, Anuka (sp?) and bouncer Eddie were very friendly, nice and accommodating. They even helped me put up my birthday banners on the walls and arranged the space so nicely for my party. My guests enjoyed the party very much--comfortable seating area, well-priced drinks, DJ that took requests, friendly bartenders and the fact that they can order really good food. Our party eventually took over the entire bar but it never got uncomfortably crowded, with just right amount of people. We ended up staying until they closed. BIG kudos to the staff at Stone Creek Bar & Lounge for a wonderful birthday party. We had a wonderful time. I'm sure that my friends will be planning their parties at the bar in the future!!! Thanks Stone Creek!!!

I'LL BE BACK!!!. I just had a reunion of U.N. delegates at Stone Creek. It was fabulous. The guests were all "work related" and Stone Creek's back room was the perfect venue. It was comfortable, as if we were entertaining at home. The staff was very attentive and courteous. We had drinks and appetizer trays of food. Both good, especially the sliders. As the party concluded, some of the guests remained and sat in the bar/lounge area which was also very comfortable. I am so glad that we chose StoneCreek for our reunion. As the organizer, I was able to have fun because the evening was so professionally organized by the Stone Creek staff. It was a great value as well.

Great place for a party!. Finally had a successful birthday party at this place. The managers (jon & luka) are kind and professional and very attentive to customer needs. I reserved the back room for a party, space was plentiful, party platters were good, also had DVD/CD player & flat screen TV at our disposal.

Would definitely suggest this place not just for happy hour, but for larger parties as well. Definitely a great environment with good people behind the bar & in the kitchen.

Beautiful Bar Top/Food Suprisingly Good For Bar Food. I recently stopped into Stone Creek after moving to the neighborhood and I'm proud to say I've found my new local. The copper top bar caught my eye from the street so I decided to pop in for a quick one. Once I sat down I immediately felt comfortable. The bartender Luka was friendly and fast with his service and I met a couple that fequents Stone Creek. They had a good selection of beers and an interesting cocktail list. I decided to try some food and the couple recomended the sliders and nachos and both were great! I've been back a few times since, I usually stop in on my way out, or for one last nightcap. Stone Creek has a great vibe and I'm psyched it's so local to my apartment. I definitely recommend stopping by but in some ways I hope this little spot stays un-noticed on it's side street so it doesn't get to packed like the rest of the 3rd Avenue bars in the neighborhood.

Nice spot, just a little boring.... I went to Stone Creek last night, and it was just "okay"... I knew what it was going to be like before I'd gotten there, as their website photos are pretty much exactly what it looks like. I guess I just thought it was a little boring! It really does look like a bar you would see on the inside of pottery barn. There is no real decoration at all, and it feels like someone's living room, which I guess would be okay if that is what you were looking for. It was just a little lame. The drinks were okay, but definitely overpriced and nothing spectacular...I'm thinking these bartenders are fresh out of mixology school. I'm a person that will pay good money for a well-made martini, and these just were missing the mark. I actually really did like the food; I think my favorites were the mini burgers, guac/pico de gallo chip platter, and the cordon blue bites. Overall, I'd give this place a 6 out of 10.

friendly staff, nice back party room, friendly clientele, super friendly management. I left a phone message in advance with a reservation for 6, but I explained that there might be more or fewer. No problem. When we got there, we rudely interrupted a private party in the back room. Fortunately, the people at the party were nice and friendly (must've been out of towners!) and we took our leave. Back in the front room, our waitress cleared another table for us. And the four.... five.... six... and on it went... sat down.

John, the bar owner came by and introduced himself. He was friendly as a lost kitten. As the night progressed, he moved us to a more comfortable table, and even bought us a load of chicken nachos. (The food is just so so bar food, but you won't care.) The night ended with a reasonable twenty something (each) bill-- and a lot of fun.

Birthday Party Success. I had my birthday party at Stone Creek recently and me and my friends had a great time. We were able to hook up our IPOD in the back rooom and had the space to ourselves. We were initially concerened if there would be enough room in the space, but we were able to easily fit our group of 50+. The owner and manager were very helpful in making sure everything went smoothly. They set up a back bar for us and the bartender was fast and friendly. A lot of my friends were very complimentary of the party and were looking forward to hosting their birthdays at Stone Creek!
