Owned by Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz and a few likeminded friends, this lounge is either an homage to their various musical influences or the product of artistic differences. The mismatched hangout juxtaposes gongs behind the bar with the gothic rock-and-roll of black leather seating, wooden thrones and chandeliers. Mug shots of Frank Sinatra, Jim Morrison and Sid Vicious show clear admiration for bad-boy musicians, and the love for music continues to permeate the air thanks to frequent DJ sets and a jukebox that blasts Human League and Guns N' Roses.

As a huge Fall Out Boy fan, I felt it was my duty to come and see what this place is all about and I can safely say that all of my expectations were met, nay, exceeded. Everyone was really cool, the crowd was totally my type of people. The service and booze were great. The bartender made me and my friends several rounds of these "Hello Kitty" shots with vodka and Ty ku (which has a light-up bottle! So sick!). The decor is dark, but totally rad if you're into eclectic music and stuff. All in all, great visit.

A typical night out for a few girl friends of mine always consist of tuesday nights at Angels & Kings. The sweet door man to the small dark atmosphere really make the night an intimate yet relaxed evening. There is no pretentious New Yorkers lurking around this bar, just your average mix of hipsters and pretty young girls. Everyone is very friendly and the bartenders are charming and accommodating, not to mention easy on the eyes. All in all i would recommend A&K for just a low key night out or even for a private party!

I went there there with 5 friends on Saturday night, mind you it was Passover so all bars in NYC were DEAD!!! You would think the bartender would be eager to get business being that there were very few people in the bar but not so much!! I waited at the bar for the bartender to finish his conversation with some hot girl so I could get served. I waited a good 2-3 minutes, so that was annoying! Then I ordered 4 Guinness, as he went to the cooler to get the 4 cans he had to finish a text message on his phone first before he could get the drinks for us... annoying again! He then proceeds to take out 4 chilled glasses, open all the cans and turn them upside down and let the Guinness pour into the glass. Watching this, I quickly grabbed my can and so did my husband grab his, so all the beer doesn't go all around the dirty, nasty can. When we did this, the bartender snapped at us and said "easy, what are you doing" We said that we didn't want the can in our beer because they aren't clean and thats just plain gross! The bartender got an attitude back at us and said that he personally cleans every can before he stocks the cooler. YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!! Now this cocky j*rk didn't realize... he is telling a bar manager this information ( my husband), yeah they should clean them but nobody every does. And clearly proved how lazy he was throughout our whole 5 minute transaction, so I doubt he's cleaning cases of beer before he stocks the coolers! So all in all the bartender was a liar, wanted to fight with me and my husband and was a huge arrogant $%#*#&%! It is safe to say I will never go back there again!!!!
