by Jason H. on 2nd oldest bar in NYC, that's a cool pedigree to boast about. After hitting up Smith and Mills a few blocks away we walked down here, an easy 5-10 min walk, for some more libations. There were more people here than at S&M, the energy seemed higher, most likely due to the fact the Yankees were playing to stay in the playoffs but they ended up losing this night. Drink selection here was bigger, the locals friendly and we ended up being sociable and chatting with people around us, which we never do being the antisocial gits that we are.
by rob c. on I agree with some of you - BUT I think there is a time and place when you are looking for some SWANKYNESS. Not sure when that is...maybe when you are like me and you are visiting. This is the place. And it comes with a price tag...as does most of Vegas and the EU. Anways- I digress. Yes- this place is a grip for drinks 12-15 or so. Macallan 12 my usual was a very very small double. Apps are high 10-12 or so for rolls. I dropped 187 for 5 cocktails, 2 double single malts scotch, and i wanna say 4 sushi rolls. call it 215 for a happy hour for 4 ppl. PRICEY. But hey swank is NOT cheap. Decor is great- I prefer the ORIGINAL en Paris Le Rue Champs Elysees ok well close to it. But this one has its benefits....more open bar like lounge feel...Paris is more secluded seating. Tell your friends your phone will not be working as the cell service hear is like being in an elevator since the infrastructure is comprised of very very old warehouse beams in the meat packing dist. I actually disagree with some of you- I thought the wait staff could use some better attire. Trash is how I would describe their style. Another plus for the Paris location. But Fuck- this place is a lot closer.
