Great place for a party!

by DanaG

I recently made a 30th birthday party there for my twin sisters. The manager put up all of the decorations I bought, as well as set up the slide show I made. The bartender was quick and the waitstaff was awesome. They even gave us the whole bar for our friends. This was a great experience. In addition, the owner is a nice guy.

• Pros: Service, drinks, prices
• Cons: None

Good Private Party Spot

by mba44

I had my birthday party at Stone Creek last month and we rented out the back room. It was great because we were able to have the entire space to ourselves. They paid for a DJ for us and he was willing to play whatever we wanted. The staff was great - very kind and fast. I would definitely reccomend Stone Creek for a private party!

• Pros: Staff, Ambiance, Music

SWEET HANGOUT

by JayNYC1

I just moved to the area recently and thought I would give this local place a try. I'm really glad I did. Fantastic Happy hour prices and the bartender was very attentive and cool. I called a couple of friend to meet me there and were able to get comfy on the couches on the stage area. We got some food and had a really fun relaxing time. I'll be back!

• Pros: Great Crowd, Friendly staff, Watched all the Games
• Cons: I might become an alcoholic

Recent Birthday Party

by RickR

After reading some of the positive reviews on this site, I decided to have my birthday party at Stone Creek. Being in the Murray Hill area was a big plus since I had friends coming from uptown and downtown. It's easily accesible off the trains and pretty centrally located. The staff did a great job. They were VERY accomodating from the beginning. I booked the party with Jessica(I think she's one of the owner's sisters). She was easy to work with and very responsive. We had the back room to ourselves which was spacious and completely private! Our bartender Victoria was really sweet and quick with the drinks. We ordered some of their passed appetizer plates and all of the food was excellent. They also allowed us to decorate the room and bring our own cake without a cutting fee. The DJ (Caleb) played whatever music my friends and I wanted. All in all it was a great experience and I'm sure my friends and I will be back for more birthday parties in the future!

• Pros: Nice Staff, Fast Service, Great Ambiance, Back Room
• Cons: None

Waste of time

by bluelux2002

On Friday afternoon I made a Saturday night dinner reservation for 5 for a friend's birthday and gave my name and phone number. When the birthday girl arrived at the bar on Saturday night at 8:30, she was informed that they had no record of my reservation and that the bar was closing at 9pm! When I showed up shortly thereafter to "discuss" the situation with whom I can only presume was the manager, he was aware that I had a reservation (clearly demonstrating that my friend was initially lied to) but was never given a phone number to call me. Then, after some prodding, the "manager" finally admitted that they were closing down at 9pm on a Saturday because they booked a private party AFTER I had already made my dinner reservation. As consolation for this second rate treatment, we were told that we could stay in the empty bar until 10 for a free drink but no food was available....because that's a classy way to celebrate a friend's birthday, right? To top it all off, in person, the place is shabby looking and definitely does not live up to its pictures on the website. I will never visit this establishment ever again, and discourage anyone else from going here either.

Best Place for a Party !

by Chinnu

This review is long overdue! I hosted a birthday party for my husband at Stone Creek in January. We had been to the bar once before for a birthday party and I immediately fell in love with it, which is why we made it a point to go back. It is the perfect cross between a bar and lounge!

The owner Jon was an absolute pleasure to deal with during the whole planning phase and did everything he could to accomodate my every request. He was always accessible and even added the DJ for the night which really made the night fabulous! We ended up having between 50 and 60 people so we took up the back room and most of the front of thebar. I was a little nervous at the beginning of the night when the bar was a bit crowded and the back room was occupied by another group. But things turned around very quickly and our guests were able to use the back room/bar and they ended up taking over most of the front bar as well.

The manager Luka (Lukaz?) was very friendly and took care of all our guests. All the bartenders were extremely nice and friendly. Having the DJ was great because you could basically request the music based on what our guests enjoyed and he took every request!

Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend Stone Creek to anyone who is planning a party! We will definitely go back!

• Pros: Service, Atmosphere

A Great-Afterwork Bar

by Gladdie

I work a few blocks away from Stone Creek and it is my place to unwind. The place has a cozy atmosphere and the bartendars are friendly and attentive. John and Luka are always quick behind the bar (this seems to be becoming a rarity in NY) and have a quick one liner to make me laugh. The food is your typical bar food and is OK but it is even better after a few glasses of wine. Note to the Kitchen - ease up on the salt. My girlfriends and I have made it our afterwork hangout and thought these guys deserved a good word on the Search.

• Pros: Atmosphere, Service, good happy hour crowd
• Cons: Closed for parties sometimes on weekends

Private Party Room -- A++

by Kmzer

The facts: Had a Saturday night private party for a group of friends in the back room. Our own bar and bartender, bathroom, self-coat check, hi-def TV. Did 3 hour top shelf open bar package and ordered platters of food. First Class all the way.

The review: Owner Jon did a fantastic job of quickly responding to my numerous questions while planning the party, and Manager Luka was responsive and made sure we got exactly what we wanted, when we wanted it. Super location, nice atmosphere, good service, delicious food and great drinks. A real rarity to find a place in Manhattan where they do what they promised. Now I just need an excuse to have another private party at Stone Creek.
