by Will W. on Friday night was fun. $5 valet, $10 cover for guys, girls free and a weak $11 Grey Goose and tonic. If I come again I am drinking at El Toro first. It must have been the DJ's first night, at one point he accidentally stopped a song for a few seconds of dead silence before he started the next. The atmosphere, smoking lounges, game room, and giant TVs are impressive.
by Nancy D. on If you're ever bored on a Sunday night in NYC be sure to come to GoldBar to check out the show. As my good friend says: Only the freaks come out on Sunday. Be ready to get your "WTF" face on once you're past the ropes because as a person who does not go out often on a Sunday, I felt like I was in the twilight zone - in a good way of course! Tons of scenesters on drugs partying til the early morning hours makes for a funny story to tell your friends the next day.
by Dominique Bracamonte on So you saw the episode of Sex and the City, right? Let me guess, your on the Sex and the City tour? Oh! Thats your huge bus outside? Why, yes the cosmos are divine.... GET A LIFE! Please, this bridge and tunnel, over-accessorized, short-skirts, bad suits, and all around loud bar crowd thinks too much of themselves. Sure the food is good, atmosphere is dim and relaxing and the massive Buddah is really cool but this place became name drop central and tourist destination #5. The yuck-o crowd totally ruins any zen moment you may try to have as you bite into their amazing Kobe beef -which you cook yourself over a stone. Unless its so crowded that they have no more stones and offer you a boiling bowl of water to cook your beef. Can you tell that I really want to like the restaurant? The food is good (pricey) and the atmosphere is gorgeous. Sorry three stars for the played out factor and the crap people who hang out there.
