La Victoria NYC

I went last night, and as expected, the dress code was formal. I wore knee-high heeled boots, a skirt, and a top—nothing revealing—plus a long formal coat because of the winter weather. A friend of mine had tried to enter earlier but was told cargo pants weren’t allowed, only jeans. No problem—he went to change while my friends and I entered. They gave us our wristbands, and I asked the girl at the entrance if my friend would be able to get in once he changed. She responded with a really bad attitude and suddenly asked me what I was wearing under my coat. I told her I had a sweater for the cold, plus a skirt and a top. She looked at my skirt and immediately said it was “too short,” then told the other girl to take off our wristbands. We were shocked. First, it felt extremely anti-feminist coming from another woman. Second, my skirt was totally normal—it even had built-in shorts! And third, how does it make sense for the place to be "formal," yet people can wear jeans and sneakers? Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this club. My friends who got in before us ended up leaving because the party wasn’t even that good. If you want to go somewhere where the hosts are super rude, go ahead. But there are way better places with good vibes. The staff’s attitude—especially that girl at the entrance—was just awful, and she clearly shouldn’t be working in customer service.

Had a company holiday party here. The place is really nice; chill vibes. Nice decor. The bar had amazing drinks. The bar tenders there were very professional and attentive. Overall a nice place to have a good time. Can't say too much about the food, my company wanted to pay more for alcohol then food lol. We did have some apps, they were really good. Had a lot fun!

An Absolute Gem - Fantastic Food and Ambiance 5 shining stars for La Victoria! This quickly became my favorite local spot thanks to the incredible food, drinks, and welcoming atmosphere. As a vegetarian, I'm thrilled by the amazing meatless options - the fried cauliflower taco is to die for. My friends rave about the tacos al pastor. The guacamole and chips hit the spot every time. Portions are generous and prices are fair. The vibrant, artsy decor and patio seating lend a real sense of place. The bartenders are so friendly, making killer margaritas that complement the flavors perfectly. Whether you're looking for a lively night out in a gorgeous setting or a casual meal with superb vegetarian fare, La Victoria is a true standout. I tell all my friends they must try this gem. Thanks La Victoria for creating such an amazing dining experience!

My friends and I decided to ring in the new year at La Victoria, we were excited about it and purchased the open bar ticket they had available for $150 (we chose the fast VIP option). The ticket we bought literally said open bar would be from 9-1am. However, once 12 struck they closed the open bar and started charging people for drinks. Everyone that had bought a ticket was incredibly frustrated at this since we all paid money for something that was falsely advertised. I felt bad for the bartenders since they had a lot of people complaining and they couldn’t do anything because the manger said to stop it at 12. They tried to get the manager to come help, however the manager was nowhere to be found. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if someone annoyed enough would sue over this because in the fine print, it states open bar from 9-1. Also, side note 20-25 dollars for watered down mid drinks is crazy.

I usually never post reviews for clubs but this one deserves it. Scammer staff at its finest. They give you a price per person for a table and then charge you hidden fees. We were five people and agreed to pay 1200$. At the end of the night, we got the bill and it was 1750$. They also make sure you sign an agreement so you cannot get out of it. Please beware, don't want you to get trapped in this scam. Shittiest club, music and staff.

Lady at the front needs to be fired. She is so rude; just makes up prices. Someone mentioned it’s due to her menopause. Go if you’re willing to spend 150USD per guy minimum. This place sucks even inside when you get in.

Absolute worst bar in NYC. Avoid at all costs. The staff is rude, incompetent, and blatantly dishonest. We opened a tab for 4 people and ordered maybe 15 drinks total. Somehow, they charged us for 40 drinks, slapped on a mandatory 20% gratuity for their awful service, and added an outrageous 5% service fee on top of it all. Total scam. These people are running a hustle, not a bar. Save yourself the frustration and go literally anywhere else.

By far my favorite place to go out in NYC. Have lived here my entire life. Best crowd, music, vibes, everything. Gilbert and Leslie are the best.🩷🩷
