What People Are Saying About Kush

A winding entryway with dome designs and wooden details beguiles revelers in this high-spirited Lower East Side lounge. Inside, the smell of flavored hookah smoke hovers overhead in the warmly lit main bar, through the maze of secluded alcoves and into the private VIP area. Young sorts sip exotic cocktails and groove to pumping rhythms, which naturally move from American pop to Middle Eastern hip-hop. The orange tones and bright beats fashion a den of secret trysts. The pricey hookah pipes, with flavors like mint and melon, come for $30. The rich tastes continue on the specialty drink menu…

Cofused
by Mr Brown
Well I spoke to the GM about a little get together with friends, he suggested that we get a table because saturdays are a big nite. I told him that we didn't like crowds. He assured me that they were a small boutique lounge. Well we got to the place and were confronted at the door by various men, seemed a bit confusing as to who was seating people. Once we got in we sat at a little table(Boutique) we asked our waitress to move. That took forever, didn't seem there was a host on the floor. But what is worse was the crowd. a hodge podge of people. I am no model but me and my friends dress well and the crowd was weird. Seems everyone gets into this Boutique lounge, Wasn't even sure they had a doorman.We left and went to Katra, we probably should have went there to begin with.

Very cool spot
by Willy2000
I heard about Kush from a friend and it totally delivered and was worth the trip downtown. It's a very hip scene and the DJ did a good job reading the vibe of the crowd. The door staff did not have the usual attitude and we found everybody pretty polite- which I guess is the positive side of a bad economy. I am definitely bringing all of my out of town, couch crashing visitors here as this sort of place is what NY is all about.
- Pros: Amazing atmosphere, great DJ
- Cons: Got a bit too crowded

A Real Horror
by arti
Well from the start it was difficult, communicating with the GM about getting in and having to reserve a table, we did anyway but we were crammed into a small table. Service was poor but it was Halloween. The place was one big mess.It wasn't as advertised to me over the phone. The thing that creeped me out the most was this guy who was starring at me all nite from the D.J booth. Then everytime I moved it seemed like he was behind me. So I brought it to the attention of my waitress who said " Oh that's my boss, he runs the place" talk about weird. I wont be going back there.
- Pros: Music
- Cons: Staff
