I experienced the absolute most blatant acts disrespect ever in my lifetime at lollipop. I arrived at 10:30 to a party where I was told by the door person after she went inside to check on things (who actually turned out to be very nice and apologetic about our experience) that I had to wait until the reservation was found. Now this wouldn't seem like such a big deal if 1) some of the party was not inside already and 2)other people were sauntering in and out with no reservation but to just go to the bar. We were told that men had to wear jackets and that was pretty insane because we watched as others past us wearing beat up sneakers and button down shirts only. When we were finally let in we were seated in a cramp space. The music was not that great, although there were a few oldies played. One person from our party was turned away because he had on a hooded t-shirt, meanwhile the NON NEW YORKERS sitting across from us had on not only a hooded shirt but a t-shirt and sneakers and he was smoking inside (I know there is a strict rule about this one in NYC public places). As the last of our group arrived (we were reserved for 20) they found themselves also turned away at the door. At this point we had enough and left , where the rest of the party continued at Pop Burger. On a scale of 1-10 in terms of pretentiousness w/o cause I would give this place a 20.
Pros: NONE
Cons: everything about this place is a CON
