Editorial Review for Home/Guest House – by Julie Mehta
The Scene
If the discerning door-people don't hint that this home is hip, the ascent up a front staircase will, with a stunning crystal chandelier, mirrors, and heavy entry curtain at the pinnacle. Reminiscent of a rock star's sleek, gothic living room, the red-lit club is jacketed in tight black leather, from the ceiling to the maze of backless banquettes. Tall, leggy women abound, while men are in shorter supply.
The Draw
Hip-hop, rock and '80s anthems enter the loud, swiftly changing mix that keeps dance partners rotating all night. Clusters of couches occupy the spacious should-be-a-dance-floor center, so when it's packed the walkways get blocked by grooving twosomes and threesomes. But it's all in drunken fun to overstep an ottoman and attach to that group popping open the bubbly. On slower nights, more time is taken lounging with competent bartenders' fruity cocktails, like the sweet peach melba martini of Chambord, peach vodka and pink lemonade.

Insider Tips
Where to SitYou can usually find an empty couch, but be prepared to move to make room for bottle-buying customers.
The ExtrasWhen you tire, try lounging on a cushy bed at B.E.D. New York or its rooftop bar Groovedeck, both right next door.

this place was amazing!! me and my friends went here last sat, the bartender was the fastest in the city, he knew what i wanted before i even asked, and it was packed wall to wall, he made us feel like were the only people there if you go, look for a hot rocker guy behind the bar named blaze. he's the best!!

My sister and I went there for the first time last Friday night. We were welcomed at the door and the bartenders, Bethany and Blase were so friendly and wonderful, they made us feel like this was definately the place to spend the evening! The ecclectic choice of music was a pleasant surprise...something for everyone to enjoy. The next time we are in the city, we will definately make it a point to go again!!
Pros: Friendly Staff, Cool Atmosphere, Great Music
Cons: A bit expensive
