The Randolph at Broome

07/10/2008 Posted by 12l

I had been to the old randolph and it was ok, but when I heard they renovated and re-opened with Matty Gee the Head bartender from milk & Honey and his team. I figured I would give it a shot and WOW!! The drinks were top notch and the service was impeccable! The knowledge of his bartenders was very impressive. Worth a stop by for the cocktail lover or someone in search of a unique experience.

The service here is ATROCIOUS. The bartenders take your card, start tabs and then claim you never gave them a card...only to find your card charged 2 days later for insane amounts. The manager TIM is quite possibly the most incompetent person I've ever encountered. When I finally got Tim on the phone after calling 6 times a day, 4 days in a row, I got the worst attitude! Instead of taking my address right then and there, he asked me to call back in 5 minutes and leave my address on the machine to send me back my card. When I didn't get the card back a week later, his response was: "other people pick up the phone, I never got your message." Are you kidding me?!?!? He was just too lazy to get a pen when he initially spoke to me. Basically they just steal credit cards and charge erroneous amounts, in addition to serving mediocre drinks. Sounds like a stellar evening, no? This place is awful, it's a waste of money. The only saving grace is the doormen...they should bounce the staff and take over.

Pros: I am smart enough to never come here again

Cons: rude staff, mediocre layout

Seriously? Screw this place and their wack door policy. Tried to meet friends there on a Saturday night and was told by the mustachioed douche doorman (and for real - the mustache look is as au courant as Vice Magazine - meaning, dead and 2001) that there were "soo many parties going on inside that you can only come in if you're here for one of them." When is this kind of BS elitism going to end in NY? I've napped in this city longer than people like this have existed. Congrats on having moved out of your parent's house in Jersey and finally making it big as a doorman. And after watching some of the white bread i-banker frat dudes wearing ballet slipper sneakers with untucked shirts walk out the door, you'll realize this is not a place for you.

my group and i had so much fun at the prince night, though it was definatley a slow start... party because of us. I will say this: for a sunday the party did start a bit late. We're all professionals in my group and we really really hope that going foward prince night can start a little earlier. also, hopefully next time they won't boo us away at the door when we're trying to get in. its not like there was anyone in there!

Pros: prince night, great atomosphere, good drinks, clean bathroom

Cons: overly selective at the door, open too late for sunday, kicked us out at 3!

I didn't know what to expect when my friends told me about The Randolph. I was pleasanlty surprised when I walked in. We were greated by an attractive doorman who could not have been nicer, but maybe it was because I was with five beautiful girls. Instantly, I knew we were going to have fun. This place is very unqiue in the sense that it is all about having fun. The crowd was good looking and very energetic. It was not overly crowded and the downstairs is a true lounge where my friends and I danced the night away on a lovely Saturday night.

Pros: Atmosphere, Attractive people, Well made drinks.

Cons: Door is tight, guys have to have pretty girls with them to get in.

after all the hype i thought this place would be hot! we went on a saturday night, and the place was pretty full but the music sucked and the drinks were weak. it was mostly guys, no hot girls at all. we stayed for a while, but it never got any better. the vip area or whatever that was in the front was a pathetic attempt to be cool. we finally left - the place was lame!!

Cons: too small, lame crowd

I have been hearing alot of buzz surrounding "The Randolph" I went two weeks ago and back again last Saturday. I had an the best time both nights! Dancing, pretty people galore, and good drinks is what you encounter when you come here. The door policy seems tighter then discribed above, everyone in the place was well dressed and trendy. Come prepared and if you do an amazing experience is what you will have.

Pros: Music, Drinks, Dancing, and Cool People

Cons: Small space, so there is usually a line to get in
