Halloween

by CSMobileUser4

We had our annual halloween party at Katra and it was amazing! There were several other party happening that night in the club and I was concerned at first that we wouldn't all work well together, but I was completely wrong. The crowd was fun and friendly and looking to enjoy the night! The staff was so nice and not rude at all like most bars. They got us our drinks fast and the dj played all the right music! It was a great halloween!

Best 30th Ever!!

by K Libra

Ya know, you never believe any review until it's your own.. So I never had a birthday party for myself (believe it or not..) and it's was going to be my 30th so after some getting over myself I decided to have one. I had been to KATRA a few times before and it always struck me as a place I could bring any o...f my many friends to, so I decided on going with them. From the beginning, the Manager (Chris) was very direct and to the point (helpful when trying to organize your own party) and his staff was on point with everything from the decor, the bottle service, the DJ (soooo crucial...), to my guests entering the club. I didn't get one complaint from my party (81+) , and the rest of the crowd there was just soooo much fun.. My money was well spent (trust me!!). KATRA will definitely be a mainstay in my Saturday Nights-to-come

• Pros: Everyone was free!! Everyone had fun!!
• Cons: NYC Clubs could always use a little more space lol

Everyone Loved the drinks, the food, the DJ's are wonder and the whole vibe over all is Great! I would do another event at KATRA anytime. If you are looking for a place to go in there city Katra is a place where you should put at the top of your list!

Movie Premier

by nauticanbr17

Katra is a great lounge/club/restaurant. The food was excellent and their crab cakes are to die for. The staff are very accomodating and friendly. Katra is organize and well run, from the bouncer at the door to the waitress and waiter. I attented Katra for the Truth Unspoken movie premier and they did everything in their power to keep their guest happy for ex.. There were so many people for the movie premier that they showed the movie upstairs and downstair just to make sure everyone got to see it. There is also a parking lot around the corner and you get a discount if you get your card stamped at the door.

• Pros: love the big screen tv ;)

Great Cust Serv!

by lancethechance

When u see reviews for Katra u always think they are blown up or it’s the club doing it. But after our party here on Friday Night I have to agree they are pretty accurate . Doorstaff friendly, Manager Very Friendly and Very attentive. Waitstaff wonderful and polite, bartenders quick and prompt and music sick!!! Great venue even though gets a little packed for about an hour which like anywhere in NYC is common. Drinks are a bit pricey but if you are not paying cover then it balances out. As a whole a very good night besides the terrible weather so today I give Katra five stars. I will be back!!

• Pros: Staff and venue is very nice
• Cons: drinks a little pricey

Great time and Great Party

by satdaacmys

So i did my birthday at Sin Sin on the 4th and had a great time. So we went back this wknd but all of their sections were sold out, so the GM told us to visit Katra....Great time and Great Party. We got a table here last night and to say we were taken care of is an understatement. We did a two Goose spec for $500 and then Chris the manger or owner (I am not sure) bought us another one! OMG i was like its because we are SUPER HOT chicas! lol all my friends got in no problem (even the guys didnt have to pay!!) and the music was sick. Beautiful crowd and a greta time! Now i have 2 fave places in the LES! YAY ME!

• Pros: The staff

we like to party!

by DaringDiva82

ive never been to a club where the bouncer at the door doesnt give you a hard time. that is until last night! i came in early with a friend so we had no issues getting in even though there was a list. at around 11:30 i asked the girl at the door if it would be ok for 10 of my friends to join us even though we had no list. she said that she would ask the manager and would see if we had room to create me a guest list so my friends could get in for free. 2 minutes later i was speaking with the manager, chris, and he totally took care of us!

we had a blast drinking downstairs at the bar and dancing to the great music the DJ was playing.

i'm definitely coming back here!

• Pros: love the guy at the door

BEST Night!

by Sambo339

i helped my best friend plan his birthday party at taj this saturday and "due to building issues" we had to move our party. the reservationist called us and told us that their capacity was 75 people!! we thought we were screwed but then she offered to send us to their other club katra. she offered us a free table and a free bottle of champagne for all of our troubles and we also got to invite more people. she was really nice and made us feel like everything was going to be alright.

my best friend had the BEST time ever and is probably nursing a nasty hangover right now. they really took care of us and made sure everything was perfect. even though we had originally planned to go to taj everything worked out in the end and we had a great night.

• Pros: friendly staff, funny door guy, great music
• Cons: drinks were a little expensive

The staff treats you like you're crew.

by TrishaB

Decided to have my girlfriend'a birthday party here Friday night. It was my first time at Katra and could not have asked for a better experience. The staff and the manager, in particular, were the best of hosts. Got a table and a couple bottles, which I highly recommend. Our table was never short on glasses, napkins, mixers, etc. The appetizers were delicious, in particular the little lamb kabob things. Atmosphere was fun and unpretencious. I also recommend a table if you have a large party so you have a nice ittle piece of real estate for your friends to enjoy. Music may vary night to night, but the mix of old school hiphop, top 40 and 80's was just the ticket and a nice change from the "unce unce unce" you hear at some lounges or big room clubs. I highly recommend it to anyone, espcially for parties. The staff treats you like you're crew. Thanks.
