by Prince H. on Like most successful clubs or lounges in New York, Gold Bar finds its audience among the impoverished rich--i.e. among the people who, having received most of all of the presents in the world's gift, still think themselves cheated of the ineffable. New York City maintains in sufficient luxury a satisfactory number of senior level bankers, corporate lawyers, c-level executives of various industries, models, actors, and athletes troubled by the vapors of ennui. Like the repertory company seen in contemporary gossip columns, they had been to all of the parties and wondered why it wasn't possible to escape into a happier domain (presumably as exclusive as Walter Annenburg's estate in Palm Springs) where even the least articulate wishes might promptly be granted and where death came only to the poor. Upon piquing the interest of the equestrian class of New York, Gold Bar reveals the preliminary tricks of its trade: exclusive door policy, kitsch architecture, female employees of incomparable beauty, themed cocktails, DJs that alternate between new wave, rap, and rock. Go if you must (if you can get in). You will have fun. I liked it the first few times. It is what it is. Just don't get caught up in the "scene." The people who like Gold Bar are in love with the idea of the thing and not the thing itself. They are in love with being a part of the beau monde in New York. But this is nothing new (the American preference for the invisible). Of those who buy jogging shoes, most do not jog. The menu in most American restaurants is more interesting than the food. A television commercial is an artifact more subtly made than the product it advertises. Apartments on Fifth Ave sell for millions not because they buyers want a place to live, but because they seek a state of grace. And the current stories about old school Hamptons-like bacchanalias at Gold Bar belong to the realm of surrealist fiction.
by Eric L. on Veryx8 awesome spot. Our Saturday night was about to be a bust, but thankfully we came across this place on the way home. Came with a small group, no line, lively diverse crowd, cheap booze and live music. What more could you ask for? This place made me wish I kept on with my piano playing. There was also a small patio out to the side/back, could hold maybe 15-20 max at a time. We could not find street parking, so ended up in a single level structured lot just a few steps east for $10 valet. I was sober/DD and still had a great time, 12 thumbs up.
by Rema Vranes on This place sucks. Talk about a complete unorganized shit show! I stood on line last night for half an hour despite being on a guest list and actually made it to the front of the line before leaving. Then I find out that I had to pay a "reduced" cover of 20 bones. The whole time the bouncer was telling everyone on the line to pull out their ID's where as the girl working the door was telling everyone to put them away. Please avoid this place as there are plenty of places in Manhattan you can go to avoid this nonsense.
