I booked this club from my 30th for a few reasons: 1) They had a room that could accommodate myself and my guests. 2) The door policy is absurd and the dress code is very relaxed. My friends did not have to worry about waiting on line for an hour and then getting turned away because they are wearing sneakers (that probably cost $500, lol). 3) All the good reviews here, something must be good about this place. PRO's John who was managing the door was a gentleman. He took great care to make sure we were fine several times throughout the night. I reserved the elliptical room which is on the main floor towards the back. The DJ gave me and the other ppl in my party a shout out on the mic several times. The waitress that was taking care of my party was great. The place was PACKED and she still gave great service. I don't remember more than 15 minutes going by without seeing her in our back room asking if we needed anything more. CON's The main floor is smallish - it gets VERY tight. This can be a little overwhelming for people. There are only two or three bathrooms on the main floor and always a line. There are another two bathrooms downstairs. Several of my guests mentioned that the place smelled a little funky but I don't remember that. The crowd there can put off some if they are expecting a uppity meatpacking atmosphere. Disclaimer: My guests and I purchased about 5-6 bottles. That could easily have influenced our great service. But reading other reviews, it seems like the service here is generally good to everyone. Thanks again to everyone at Sutra for a good night.

Pros: Service!

Cons: gets SUPER crowded
