The Bar on Mulberry LLC

Great spot for dancing on a Saturday evening! It was busy but still had plenty of space to move and enjoy the music. Thankfully, our friend in the hospitality industry helped us with the reservation, as the doormen seemed quite strict. The music was solid, and our server made it easy to order drinks all night. Table service was definitely a plus. We’d absolutely come back to dance again!

This place is ridiculous, my group and I had a reservation for 5 people. They seated us at a 3 person table so we obviously did not fit nor did we feel comfortable. We then asked if we could move to a larger table, and we were moved across from where we were. Not even 20 minutes later we got kicked out of the table back to our original table for a group of not even joking THREE people who were seated at a 5+ table. We asked why and management said that specific table was reserved so we asked how could a specific table be reserved? And they had no answer… pretty disappointing experience given the price point. Not worth it. Horrendous customer service and zero respect. Atmosphere is nice and has a lot of potential but clearly this place needs to work on better management and how to correctly seat people. Do not recommend.

Waited in line an hour. Some guy came up tried to cut the line and then got in a physical fight with the other patrons. Ran away. The bouncer pretended he was a different person when he returned and welcomed him in. Super sketchy place don’t go.

Bouncers let us wait.. saying there was a wait list. We were a group of four people and the only ones in line. They were rude, unaccommodating. Eventually we left and went to a bar around the corner. For the business owner- no need to be rude! Don’t got there unless you want to deal with nasty attitude! Go to Beyond the Pale bar instead!

Absolutely Disgusting Racist Behavior – Avoid This Place at All Costs! If I could give zero stars, I would. The Mulberry is blatantly racist. My friends and I ( people of color) were denied entry despite having tickets and knowing someone inside. Meanwhile, white people were being let in with no issues, no questions asked. We were given no reason for being turned away. None. Just a rude dismissal and an obvious look that said it all. The bouncer (see photo) was unapologetically discriminatory and made it very clear who they did and didn’t want inside. This isn’t just bad service. This is overt racism, and it’s unacceptable. We will be filing a formal report. No one should support a venue that practices this kind of disgusting gatekeeping in 2025. Do better , or better yet, shut down. Bouncer said his name was Eddie FYI.

Told my sneakers weren’t acceptable (despite being clean and appropriate) even though security guard was wearing black converse. Honestly don’t know what the hype is about considering it’s giving the energy of a typical LA bar. Definitely better bars around the area with similar ambiance and way less elitist atmosphere. Maybe that’s your thing but for anyone visiting NYC, make sure you wear the appropriate shoes!

Cute venue but disappointing experience. The night began with a bizarre comment from the bouncer who, after letting me in, told me “don’t wear that next time.” For reference, I was wearing an outfit that was entirely appropriate and on par with the other guests. Still hoping to enjoy myself, I headed downstairs for a drink with a friend. I asked the bartender for a recommendation. He scoffed, “I only drink martinis,” as though that somehow made him incapable of helping. I ordered a cocktail anyway — “Not that one,” he responded. The drink I ended up with? Made incorrectly. And it cost $30. The whole place feels like it’s trying very hard to be cool, but instead comes off as cold, performative, and unwelcoming. I left quickly. There are too many great bars in this city to waste your time (or your money) here.

No line to get in. We were told to wait . We waited 20 min. Then a couple got in before us Just because the bouncer felt like it. Regardless, if you want to avoid nasty attitude on the way in. Avoid this place.
