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…

Eeeeek! Run, don't walk. Suspect patrons - divorced hookers on the prowl.
- Cons: The crowd
Best spot on UWS
by jenna84 at Citysearch
This spot is definately hot. I have been here many times and i love it. The prices of drinks are reasonable and the DJ is the best. He plays a lot of hip hop, pop.. stuff like that. Anything that's hot... he plays. :)
Relaxed and Cozy
by mslovely99 at Citysearch
Great if you go early and just wanna catch up with old friends. Reasonably priced drinks. Pretty empty until late night when they play current hip hop and things get crowded. Very low lighting unless you are right by the bar. Few tables and barstools, so be ready to stand.
Awesome atmosphere
by selica1 at Citysearch
Very cozy but not crammed. Upstairs is the bar/lounge and downstairs is a small "club" but not tacky at all. Awesome place to hang out with friends and chat and have a drink.
- Cons: Slightly pricey
Huge place
