This spot is definately hot. I have been here many times and i love it. The prices of drinks are reasonable and the DJ is the best. He plays a lot of hip hop, pop.. stuff like that. Anything that's hot... he plays. :)

Great if you go early and just wanna catch up with old friends. Reasonably priced drinks. Pretty empty until late night when they play current hip hop and things get crowded. Very low lighting unless you are right by the bar. Few tables and barstools, so be ready to stand.

Very cozy but not crammed. Upstairs is the bar/lounge and downstairs is a small "club" but not tacky at all. Awesome place to hang out with friends and chat and have a drink.

Cons: Slightly pricey

My private party was supposed to be from 9pm-12am. All of my guests paid$40 for an open bar for these 3 hours. Upon arrival at 9pm, the room was "not ready". they finally let us in at 9:15 with NO MUSIC. It took another 15 minutes to get the music on. The bartender in our room was so rude. She kept pointing to her tip bucket, pushing it in the guests faces, as well as laughed and made sarcastic comments at the tips that were given. then, to top it off, eventhough our "private party" didnt start until 9:30, the bouncer started opening our party to the public at 11pm. 1HOUR EARLY!!! the room got so crowded that for the last hour of our open bar, we could not get to the bar to actually get a drink. Overall....HUGEdisappointment. They did not follow through with what was promised.

Cons: rude bartenders, too crowded

It is tough to find a good fun spot on the Upper West Side... so I recommend 420! This is a great spot to catch up with friends or get a drink after work. The service is good and the bartenders are friendly. The atmosphere is fun, good music and sometimes I will stop by to just see a game.

Pros: good service, fun

This is such a hip spot for those just wanting to have a great time, hear excellent music, meet other people. Or, bring your own party and hit the dance floor downstairs.

Pros: great martinis, cool ambiance, excellent music

This is a great bar to go to when all else as failed you. The music is great and upbeat mix of dance, rap and hip hop. It is a decent place to meet people and just have a good time. The staff is somewhat friendly for the upper west side. If the DKNY and label de jour type crowd is not your thing, don't even go here.

Pros: Good Music, Lots of Space, mixed crowd

Cons: A little pricey, No buy backs, Bartenders
