AND IT WAS A TUESDAY??!!!

by leslovernyc

Walked by gallerybar, as its on my home, and i saw Al Franken giving a speech. (you know ,remember stuart smally from SNL?) He was very funny. I then decided to stay and had a better night out then any weekend in NYC The huge photos from the iraq war were sobering, but the crowd and the music was suprisingly great!

• Pros: music, GREAT GALLERY, crowd

Where's the artists?

by ol2o

It's an average hip hop dj bar. not an artist or hipster in site. It's a place for "art" in name alone. other than that, it could be called "Slim Freddy's" and you wouldn't know the difference. Don't go to be wowed. Unimaginative people pretending to be imaginative. If that's what you are looking for, then chances are you've already discovered the actual artist bar around the corner...you know the one with the cheap drinks and cool people.

• Pros: Empty wallet
• Cons: Expensive and average...move along nothing to see here.

Drinks, Art and a Photobooth!!

by mrstarr007

GalleryBar rocks out the LES like none other! I hosted my 30th last Saturday night and as depressing as turning 30 is, had the best time I've had going out in years. I set the party up with Josh and reserved an area in the downstairs lounge and can't thank you guys enough. We were greeted, seated and taken care of all night. The waitress Rachel was on point and my guests are still talking about my party. Later in the night I took a walk upstairs to hear the best mix of classic hip hop and rock. It was then, I spotted the PHOTOBOOTH... Let's just say I have the pictures to prove it! Josh, you guys are on to something special. Keep it up and will be back soon.

• Pros: Service, Vibe, Music, Crowd, Photobooth
• Cons: The night ended.

Two floors are money

by lordkrish

The key advantage to Gallery Bar is its two floors. Downstairs is more chill, with lounge areas and a lower ceiling. Upstairs is better for dancing, with a DJ and even a photographer to help you do your thing.

Good Stuff...

by jbirdl

Go earlier and claim a place to sit - can get crowded later on (but not so much that getting to the bathroom is more painful than catheterizing yourself).

EXCELLENT music on Saturday nights.

Just make sure to bob and weave around the "wooooooohhhh!" drunk girls - they're usually pretty easy to dodge, though they do throw a mean elbow...

• Pros: Music, my sofa was crazy comfortable...
• Cons: booze = sorority girls. Blame the player not the game...

Crazy Night!! I'll be back.

by funman21

Wow. This is a great concept for a Lounge/Gallery. I hadn't been here yet, only heard of it. Last Friday I hosted a party and had a wild night, good music, amazing art show and a Photobooth. It got a little busy later in the night but it was still the best time I've had in months. I''l be back!!!

• Pros: Crowd, Music, Artwork, Photobooth
