Editorial Review for Slate Plus – by Ben Widdicombe
The Scene
This two-level pool hall is a trendy, modern alternative to the smoke-filled rat-traps of yesteryear. The lively contemporary bar area, with its luminous countertop and sunken lounge, is as smart as you'll find in Chelsea (at least at establishments where the barmen keep their shirts on). Try one of the fancy house cocktails, like the 8-Ball (rum, Kahlua, Guinness and espresso), an unlikely concoction that's surprisingly good.
The Draw
Men can respectably bring their girlfriends here when they really just want to hang with the boys. The crowd is sophisticated without being intimidating, and the clean lines and vast space of the main room lend a relaxed atmosphere. The attached restaurant serves a credible new American menu--handy when that after-work drink turns into a three-hour session. Two floors of gaming means there's never a long wait for a pool table.

Slate isn't a usual destination for me, but my friend had her 30th birthday party there and we had a fantastic time. The private rooms can be reserved and are spacious. The food was good and so was the service. Everything was great until we got moved to another room mid-party... for Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend. They did give us a free round of drinks for the inconvenience. Despite that little hiccup, I would go there again and would not hesitate to throw a party in one of their private rooms.
Pros: Big Private Rooms
Cons: Crowed in Bar Area

Very roomy and lots of space- even with a lot of people, it never looks packed. Good place for a b-day, had a good time, no need to buy bottles or make reservations. Only complaint were the bouncers. They try to act like tough guys, even when there is no one there. Showed up early when there was no line and asked us to get into a straight line before we can get inside. When we weren't standing in a perfect line, they would comment to please get back into our line. As soon as you walk in - they stop you and do not let you enter until you check your coat. There were other such instances throughout the night. Other than the bouncers being completely ridiculous- it was a good time.
Pros: Very roomy and not packed even on a Sat. night
Cons: Service
