It's a must!

by magg924 at Citysearch

I had the best time there last thursday, great atmosphere, good price on drinks, and cool music.

The garden is amazing, must check the paints on the walls!

Classy and well kept

by SteveMcC at Citysearch

I love this place. It's really quite a nice bar and has a great atmosphere. The bartenders are fast and pleasant. This is much better than the places I used to go to. It's a bit of a stretch from the East Village but it's worth it.

  • Pros: great bartenders
  • Cons: nothing wrong really

Bathroom line is terrible

by kapcuse79 at Citysearch

If you're a dude, be prepared for a long wait for the bathroom. One at a time here so the line often backs up by 10 or more people. Terrible design. This place should be ashamed of itself.

Music is so-so, no real room to dance and on Friday, when I was there, they closed the outdoor area by 11. Not sure why but it brought too many people indoors.

I will never go back here.

Good Crowd,Friendly Staff And Fast Service

by DanielClark at Citysearch

My Girlfriend had her birthday party here recently and the staff were great,friendly and attentive they really looked after us.We have been here a couple of times previous and always found this place to be to be a fun neighbourhood hangout.A roomy SoHo hotspot the crowd generally speaking are fashion/art type followed by NYC''s trust fund kids.My description of the crowd would be a nice mix of good looking/stylish and trendy Soho types meeting for after work drinks or just to hangout. We have always enjoyed coming here and I recommend this bar to anyone who is looking for a laidback comfortable place to hang out with the right kind of people

  • Pros: Great Outdoor Area, Nice Crowd,Friendly Staff And Strong Drinks
  • Cons: Happy Hour Could Be Better And The Outdoor Area Closes At 11pm :(

Private Party DISASTER

by nhwmp at Citysearch

This bar is fine, good atmosphere, nice back deck. Stay away from planning a party here. I made that mistake and it was a disaster. After weeks of planning, contracts, etc...when party time comes, the people working there had no idea we had a private party planned. They had already taken reservations for the whole night, they were extremely rude about it, non-apologetic, the bar was already filling up with patrons and we were practically left to fend for ourselves. Needless to say, we were not charged the full amount as stated in our contract and the back deck was eventually cleared out for our use. If you're looking for a cocktail in Nolita then this place will suite you bc thats all they seem able to handle.

  • Pros: good margaritas, nice back deck
  • Cons: rude, unorganized party planning

Love it!

by ikalina at Citysearch

I've been coming here for years. You don't come here for the scene. Great fun with a group. It's refreshing bar atmosphere in Soho. Good layout-nice and open.

Sparse yet comfortable Nolita favorite attracts both quiet neighborhood regulars and raucous weekend revelers.

by Contributor at Citysearch

Spacious and stark, the room is warmed by exposed brick, plenty of wood and a range of beats from international to eclectic art rock. The early crowd soaks up the relaxed atmosphere beneath unusual Turkish lighting fixtures. Later, and on weekends, the vibe changes radically--beware of birthday parties--when the place may launch into sardine-can mode. The capacious outdoor garden is a smoker's delight.

Waaaaaaaay too crowded

by kneering at Citysearch

Came here on a Saturday night around midnight. I understand bars get crowded but this was ridiculous. If there was a fire we all would have been dead. Not worth it.

  • Pros: Good music
  • Cons: Way too crowded

YAAAAAWWWN

by manhattan25 at Citysearch

From the name of the bar, you would think this was a hip, rock & roll, fun, loud, crazy place. The place itself is spacious and has an interesting look. I didn't get a chance to check out the garden because before I even went INSIDE the bar, I wanted to leave.

The bouncer outside was not friendly, whatsoever. Then, I walk in and I immediately feel like I've walked into an Upper East Side bar. EW.
