Rose Bar

Nice cozy place with really strong drinks. They have live jazz some nights till 9 and then it turns into a dance club. Music is great and the place gets full but not elbow jabbing jammed like other clubs. Perfect high end spot for a date, and a dance or lounge on the side at one of the tables.

Terrible place. Avoid it at all cost. I went with there with 2 friends. We had drinks. Service was slow, but fine at the beginning. At some point server decided that we left (I was still at the table waiting for our drinks) and took candle from our table. I asked him what was the problem the reply was I have to leave the place. No explanation. He took my hand and walked my out, my purse and umbrella were still inside. We were still waiting for drinks. Outside They asked us to pay the bill, charged us for last round of drinks (we never got them) and 20% tip. I asked for a manager. There were no manager. Tip was about 80$. I will talk to my bank. Terrible service and management. I should have called a cops.

Nice cocktails, and a lot of cool, funky decor and paintings or photos. Otherwise the place leaves much to be desired... the ridiculous line to get in while there is plenty of space inside... the music... spent about 45 minutes to an hour here and had no desire to stay... To fancy for their own good...

Had an amazing time at Saturday night for girls night out. Deja at the door was awesome! The music is a perfect mix of 00's hip hop and current. The vibe is ideal and it was not too crowded. Highly recommend for a night out!

Wish I would’ve read the reviews before showing up at this establishment. We’re from Montreal and heard this used to be the cool spot to go ( relatively still is happening) and thought we’d check it out since we had friends already partying inside. We showed up, two really well dressed couples and were told very abruptly by the woman at the door that without a reservation we can’t go in but can have access to the bar before the entry. We agreed since we were already there but when we entered the vibe was very boring and there was only 2-3 other people there and could clearly see from the other back door being opened how much cooler the Inside looked. The place wasn’t even packed so my friends boyfriend went back out to ask if there’s anyway we can have access very politely to find out they didn’t want to let us in because of the way he was dressed. The two people at the door were very rude afterwards. My friends are bloggers and are stylish AF. They clearly are selective about the faces the like and don’t and I didn’t understand the sudden attitude. We were ready to have a fun night and spend money in their establishment. Upon walking out and passing by the bouncer outside he said out loud “ Go on, get outta here” as if we were not welcome. DUDE YOU ARE SO RUDE! WHO THE FK SAYS THAT? I pretended not to hear because I didn’t think it was worth starting an argument over. After reading all these reviews it makes sense. Maybe you guys at rose bar don’t care about having people flock to your establishment but keep hiring staff who have a terrible attitude like this and I doubt your place is going to be a destination on peoples list. So many cool spots in NYC to compete with. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Two nicely dressed black women... we were turned away. The door guy said we looked gorgeous but it was VIP only plus already at capacity. We stuck around a bit .... the next group of white girls (not VIP) got in after chatting with the door guy, while we were still standing there ... 🙄

There's nothing rosy or sexy when this place is a racist establishment with unfriendly staffs and rude bouncers. It's probably the same black bouncer as the other's reviewed earlier. We went there last night, as it was Saturday and thought it'd be a good idea to swing by and see what the buzz is about. We were wrong. 5 of us, 4 being Asian and 1 good looking friend who's French. We are all out of towners so we were looking forward to it. Guess what? Only the French was allowed in and we were being pushed physically by the bouncer, saying 'reservation only'. He was aggressive to us. When we told him, our friend just went in 2 seconds ago, he said no, you cannot go in. By that time we just wanted to grab our friend and leave. But since our friend was already inside, we could only wait. They wouldn't even allow us to step in to look for our friend. I'm displeased by what happened. We finally managed to meet our friend again after waiting for twenty some minutes. No matter how 'cool' or 'must see' this place is, it'll never get a dollar from us. We had to leave and will never return. Pretentious, unfriendly establishments like this should never be encouraged.

We checked into the hotel and the front desk told us that the concierge could put us on the list to get into the Rose Bar. After a certain time in the evening you need to be on the list to gain entry. The concierge confirmed our entry on the list for four and we went about our day. We were the first of our party to arrive and we walked up to the curtain where there was a bouncer standing there with a list. I gave him my last name and he scanned the list and then told us that we were not on the list. I said we are guests of the hotel and the concierge put us on the list. He got rude and said well you aren't on the list. So, I said ok well I am going to go talk to the concierge and ask them. He then changed his tune and said I'm going to let you in but, next time make sure you are on the list or stay at the hotel. I wasn't going to argue the point that we were staying at the hotel. By this time the rest of our party was standing behind us and we all walked in together and then they asked what the problem was. We told them and then we scanned around to see if there was anywhere to sit. There wasn't and the music was super loud and also the bartenders looked a little overwhelmed. The music wasn't bad it was just definitely too amplified for the room and not conducive to a conversation so, we decided to exit and go to the Jade Bar. The next morning we spoke to the same concierge who put us on the list and she stated that she was sure that we had been on the list, looked it up and we were. She also said that they have this issue often and that the bar is operated by a separate management company than the hotel. She apologized profusely for how they treated us and looked completely embarrassed. I wouldn't event try to get on the list when we stay at the hotel again because I would rather walk down the street and not deal with a door guy who feels powerful just because he has a clipboard/list in his hand. If he was looking for a tip so that we could get in that wasn't going to happen; especially not with his rude attitude.
