  1. The hookah is good as well but the drinks are truly amazing.
  2. As a business, we prefer to have fabulous patricians who reflect the good tastes of a midtown bar/lounge in hells kitchen.
  3. The drinks were pretty bad, the music sucked (they kept repeating "Gimme More" by Britney Spears).
  4. Their drinks were amazing.
  5. its very low key and there wasnt that many people there, so if you dont like hassle this is the place to be, amazing hookah & drinks.
  6. That was an amazing drink!
  7. Guy who answered was RUDE, RUDE, on phone and I was told bar was open, only to get there with a group to see they were closed for a private party.
  8. The drinks were great, the staff was pretty attentive, etc.
  9. There's a dance floor, there's a couch swing, there are cupcakes, inexepensive drinks and great music.

Great Place

by Pixieonmorphine at Citysearch

I came here on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday. AT first I was a little weary due to some of the reviews read upon citysearch. I decided to give this place a shot because they are undergoing new management and such sort. I must say this place was fabulous. It was a bit hectic-ish because it was also the owners birthday, so they had a party in the back. Customers were allowed to the back and able to celebrate as well. Their drinks were amazing. It's nice and strong. The hookah is good as well but the drinks are truly amazing. The bartender [I don't quite remember her name but she was a really nice person] recommended the mango rum chilled. That was an amazing drink! Especially the way she made it because she also left ice in it as well.

The place is very relaxing, very relaxing and I will go def go back. The bartenders and workers are all very good looking. Depending on what you like, you will find your "type" there. I def recommend this place

  • Pros: The drinks and service
  • Cons: couldnt find any

Hottie alert

by whosthatgrl at Citysearch

This place is unbelievable! A bit small but cozy. Warm and interesting. the swing is awesome, the hookahs are cool, and the bartender is hottttt!!! He made the best lemon drop i've ever had! This is becoming my spot for sure! only thing that was a bit disappointing was the fact that there was NO FOOD! I hope you guys fix that soon. other than that, Door Lounge=Hell Yes! :)

Worst customer Service

by mamigirl at Citysearch

Called on phone to ask bar was open on a recent night I wanted to come. Guy who answered was RUDE, RUDE, on phone and I was told bar was open, only to get there with a group to see they were closed for a private party. Only writing this because they also fell through when I tried to book a birthday party there in October, so im just done with this bar. It used to be a cool place , but they really need to work on getting their staff together.
