Very cool atmosphere

by PEA05

Upscale vibe and ambience, without the snooty company. Cool setup and music, super clean, strong drinks and very friendly staff. Always a great time when I go, Happy hour is key! The place is never over-crowded like many others and I personally favor the outdoor section in the back, for us smokers. And for those of us that drive,,, theres always parking too. Highly recommended.

• Pros: Atmosphere
• Cons: none

Such a Good Time!

by jamieprice

I was at Fusion for a birthday gathering and had such an awesome night! The baretenders were all amazing, the decor is hot, there was a really mixed crowd and the drink prices were very reasonable. I rarely venture over to 10th Ave, but now I have a reason to go back! I would highly recommend this bar to anyone who is looking for a trendy night spot and a great time! Kudos, Fusion!

• Pros: Great service, great atmosphere.
• Cons: They closed the smoking porch really early.

Cool Bar

by 15fty15

Fusion isn't one of those pretentious bar/lounges that tend to pop up all over the place or go in & out of style like a pair of jeans. It's simply a great neighborhood bar with a good waitstaff, friendly owner and fellow customers that make it a place to always want to return.

• Pros: Staff, Comfortable Feel
• Cons: None

Blah bar

by alipali

Frankly i'm surprised this place would make anyone's best list - though maybe it all comes down to timing. I went here after work midweek - the place was half empty, and the bartender was less than accomodating. You can order food from a restaurant next door (diner fare). there's a back garden to sit in, and a little front area that's comfortable for a group, but otherwise the space is very narrow. The vibe sucked, basically, the drinks weren't that strong, and the soda was flat. There are better options in this area.

• Pros: back garden seating, happy hour prices
• Cons: the vibe, the quality of the drinks

Fusion is a Great place!

by cooljoe5

I've been here a couple of times and really enjoyed myself. Very nice staff making very good drinks in a comfortable, down to earth atmosphere. Good for dates or just to hang with friends or coworkers. It's the kind of place that fits for all occasions.

• Pros: Service, Drinks, Ambiance

Could be the friendlies bar in NYC!

by drink_club1

Is this the friendliest bar in New York? It sure is close! Dividing lines between one group, one table, fade quickly. Everyone is instant pals. Even the staff are quick-as-a-downed beer are at your table chatting away. If I lived around here, it would be my regular. Everyone in the place just seems like they're having fun.. .and they want you to join in with them! Food comes from nearby places and is not top notch... especially after the pizza places close at 11. But mediocre food is a small price to pay for instant pals. Brings a smile to my face just to think of the place! --Drink Club NYC is a roving group of NYC Drinkers

• Pros: Super friendly staff, patrons, everybody! Decent beer selection
• Cons: mediocre food delivery from outside, out of the way

One of my favorite bars

by boodoogal

I've been here a few times with a friend that works around the corner, and it is a great place to kick back and relax. I love the dark atmosphere inside, and the bartenders are always nice. During the week it is never crowded or noisy...definitely the kind of bar I prefer.

Feel at home bar

by gron

Great place with eclectic mix of characters. Not pretentious, yet hip and stylish. Great DJ, Great garden and friendly staff. Felt comfort the moment I walked thru the door. Plenty of parking for us New Yorkers wealthy enough to own cars. Nice cocktail selection and generous amounts of alcohol in the drinks. I liked it so much, I am planning on throwing a b-day party at Fusion for my favorite girl. The owner is a prince.

• Pros: Great Music
• Cons: No dance floor

Best hangout to drink and talk and drink and talk and have fun

by gigial

I love hanging out at Fusion. My husband and I can be there hours. It is very romantic and the staff very courteous.

• Pros: the lighting, the atmosphere, the drinks
• Cons: we can hardly find a sitter for the kids so we can go more often
