Great Party on Halloween

by natiebee1

I reserved the back room of Sutra for a Halloween party. The mgt was very accommodating. The waitress Liza was amazing. The night was really fun, great music, and cool atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Great Party Place!!

by staced

Came into town last weekend for my friends bday party, I didn't know what to expect but this place was so luxurious and classy. Tons of good looking people roaming around ;). I got there kind of early and was chatting with the bartenders, they recommended this new drink TYKU. They made me a TYKU mojito and it was in a whole other category of good drinking!! so light and refreshing, supposedly it has less calories too! I was hooked, and bought a few rounds for the bday girl. Soon everyone started piling in and it turned out to be an unforgettable night!!

  • Pros: music, decor, and DRINKS!
  • Cons: lines

Had a Blast

by Randition

From the out door staff, to the indoor staff. I was treated like VIP. My party was about 20ppl. I had a table and bought a bottle. This little curly hair dancing cocktail waitress attended us. She was pleasant to us all night. The DJ was on point. He played all my favorite tracks. My party had such a blast that we ended buying one more bottle. We stayed till the DJ called last call. Thank You Sutra for making it such a great night. Ill be back...

  • Pros: Staff, DJ on point, decor, female and male ratio.
  • Cons: They close at 4 am

Had the greatest wedding

by palitz

One of our children wanted to get married in New York. The staff of Sutra made it a wonderful event. I doubt that any other place in New York would have done so much for us.

  • Pros: Great staff and service. magical wedding

Great Place to have a Party

by ReviewGirl80

The best place to host a party! I just hosted my husband’s surprise birthday party at Sutra this past weekend (Friday night) in the Elliptical Room and it was fantastic. I was able to bring my own food and decorations with out any problems and our waitress, Liza, was extremely nice and did an excellent job making sure we had everything we needed. The DJ was on point, playing hip-hop and reggae. We had a little over 40 guests, which was fine because people were in and out of the room. The only downside to the club were the bouncers. There was a very long line outside and a few of my guests were waiting outside, so when I asked the bouncers to let them in for the party, they said NO and told me to come back in 10 minutes!! I immediately told Liza and she spoke to the bouncers and I was able to get my guests from the long line and inside for the party. My husband and our guests all had a great time. Thanks Sutra!

  • Pros: Service, Music
  • Cons: Bouncers

It was Great!

by majestict

  • Pros: Great Service
  • Cons: Busy Door

I will never recommend to my friends

by Livelaughlove

I visited the lounge on January 9 along with 2 of my other friends. We arrived a little before 9:00p.m. We entered the club to find only ourselves and 2 other parties. We looked over the place and picked a perfect spot in the corner. Shortly there after I went to the ladies room and was approached by the bouncer informing me that I had to check my coat. I replied to him was it the lounges policy,because my coat was being attended to and not just thrown over seats to take up space. The bouncer replied well the manager told me to tell you. At this point we were only there for about 10minutes and I was already a little bothered because one large party had all there coats on the seating area and nothing was ever told to them.

I checked my coat and so did the rest of my party.

Soon after the waitress comes over to our table once we had been sitting there for over 15minutes and places a reserved sign on the table in front and next to us. At this time and never before the young lady says these two tables are reserved and you have to move when they come. Question is where they reserved cause we were siting there,because it was not reserved when we the club opened. FYI they informed us it was for bottle service when their VIP table was empty.

We sat down and everyone else was being served not once did the waitress(cause there was only one) came 2 ask us if we would like a drink. After going 2 get our own drinks from the bar and being there over 30 minutes then the waitress proceeded to address us.

These very important people did show up and we were dismissed and disrespected from the owner to the waitress in the lounge. I will never go back.

  • Cons: The customer service was lacking in every way.

VIP All The Way!

by BKWENDY

For all those who've posted negative reviews...I just don't understand. My experience was completely different. Yes Sutra isn't huge...but how many NYC spots are? The decor was sultry and inviting NOT low budget as some suggest. Sure they have a no nonsense approach at the door when they reach maximum capacity but it's great...they think about the safety of their patrons not making money. No one in my party had an issue at the door..they were let in pretty quickly. I actually booked my birthday party in the private room off the main dance floor. I coudn't have asked for better service all the way around. We had our own bouncer to ensure privacy, our waitress Eliza was one of the best we've ever had! She was a constant presence making sure we had everything we needed and was fun and engaging but kept it professional at all times. The music was a myriad of flavors. The DJ played something for everyone and mixed it up all night. The vibe at this place was exactly with Ariel said it would be....fresh and $exy. Thanks Sutra....see ya next year!

  • Pros: Great for private parties. Music is great
  • Cons: Parking....cab it instead
