4 Things to Know before you go

by LeMon6

Four important things to know before you go?.

1. If you pay by credit card, make sure to check your statement a few days later. They have been known to ?up? their tip after you have signed your receipt.

2. The music may not be any better than any other bar in town. It might be worse.

3. If you order the same drink more than once and are at any time charged a few bucks more for the same drink, do NOT bring this to the attention of the bartender. You may get bitched out.

4. Have fun!

Nice set up, though super crowded!

This place gets packed! I like the set up though it's difficult to naviigate when crowded. Drinks are expensive.

Better than before

by wonderboynyc

When this bar opened, it was a fresh new thing for New York, with an airy open vibe with windows that let light in and a decor that was upscale and loungy. With that came attitudes, lines and VIP cards. It defined the Chelsea neighborhood and was filled with fresh young things with stuck up attitudes--and I was one of them.

After having moved back to NYC after 4 years on the West Coast, I rediscoved g. Gone is the fresh attitude and it now has a more comfortable mature vibe (with a great mix of both suit and tie and younger trendoids) that provides a great hang out space that is comfortable and yet stylish.

I think that g has grown into itself and is now a much better bar than when it opened. And while the bartenders and wait staff might not flirt relentlessly like in other bars where they flirt for tips, they are professional and friendly.

• Pros: nice space, great for hanging out,
• Cons: can get a bit Path/LIRR on the weekends with the influx of weekend drinkers
