What People Are Saying About 420 Bar & Lounge
The Owner
420 Bar & Lounge
Owner
420 Bar and Lounge is in the heart of Manhattan's Upper West Side. Praised by Zagat's as well as thousands of patrons and numerous celebrities, this 2-floor hip spot boasts a "loungey" upstairs and a "steamy" downstairs. In addition, 420 has a tremendous television projector screen and a 50" plasma for superior viewing of all your favorite sporting events, award shows, New Year's Eve countdown, and more!

The Scene
Boasting three bars (one upstairs, two downstairs) and an interior so cramped that spilling a drink on yourself is more often an inevitability than a possibility, 420 is an amiable, unintrusive place to hang out with your friends. It's a rather dim locale though, so make extra sure you're leaving with the same person you came in with.
The Draw
Young urban professionals knock back reasonably priced drinks (between $5 and $7) while DJs spin and a handful of couples get close on the tiny downstairs dance floor. Though a severe seating shortage pretty much ensures you'll be standing most of the time, don't fret--420 is more like a single stop on the bar-hopping express than your final destination.

It's like a college bar---It's super crowded and hot in the basement. I had a great time and would go back again. The upstairs is nice and loungey with a bar, the basement is where all the action occurs. Once again, it's a tight environment so get ready to sweat!!

I have been to this bar several times and each time, besides my date, I was the only person in the bar. It was quite strange. There never seemed to be a pattern to the emptiness. I still enjoyed myself. The bartender was friendly. On our request, she changed the satellite radio station to music we enjoyed. The drinks were good. No real complaints other then the bar being empty.
