Dead!

by AZ1122

Went there this Friday at around 11:30 and it was dead. Completely. So much so the bartender laughed when we walked in. All of you Citysearch people who gave this place high ratings, quick question: Are you sure you were in the right place or do you just not like to socialize with others?

• Pros: Lots of space to dance?
• Cons: We were the only people there!

HAD A GREAT TIME, WILL BE BACK!

by Stangman197363

Since I live nearby, I've been to Batista a few times now. This is the place to be on the Lower East Side if you want to drop all pretense and hang out in a casual, relaxed spot with an authentic vibe that offers good music, friendly staff and a buoyant crowd. I've met many interesting people there. The crowds reflect the diversity of New York. I will definitely be back...

• Pros: Great Service, Great Crowd, Affordable Drinks
• Cons: "Secret" Location

I love this Place!!

by Bridgetann

I was out with some friends the other night and they took me to Batista. I live a few blocks over and I had no idea this place existed! I am so happy they brought me here because I loved it! It was so cozy inside! The staff was friendly and the drinks were so cheap. We danced all night until the bar closed! No one wanted to leave!!! I cannot wait to come back!!

• Pros: Great spot for those in the know
