"The Otherroom is not where you go when you want to party. It’s where you go on a low-key date, or with a friend who won’t be weirded out that everyone around you is on a low-key date. It’s not covered in rose petals or anything, but it is dark and candlelit. Also, there’s no hard liquor. In conclusion, if you want wine or beer or are going on a date or a non-date, this is a solid choice." - katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"Head deep into the West Village, and you’ll find The Otheroom. Why’s it called The Otheroom? Well, there used to be a sister bar on Sullivan called The Room that, sadly, closed. But you don’t need to worry about that, because The Otheroom is even better for dates. It’s a dark bar near the Hudson that seems to exist exclusively for early-in-the-game outings, and you’ll never be the only couple there that met on Tinder. They only serve wine and beer, but they have good selections of both, and this way you can take your time getting to know someone before getting embarrassingly drunk." - bryan kim, katherine lewin
"If drinking and dancing won’t put you to sleep, maybe you need to get laid. This is the sexiest bar in New York. Things have happened here. That’s all I can share at this point in time!" - cat cohen
"There are some hotel bars you avoid: the ones with dusty bottles on Ikea shelves and a guy in a suit drinking warm Stella. Then there’s The Other Room, a speakeasy hidden behind unmarked velvet curtains in the lobby of the Marriott Tang Plaza - and a place you should seek out even if you’re not ending your night in a room upstairs. The cocktail menu is divided by era, so you can drink an Old Fashioned made from a 19th-century recipe, or try something from their collection of rare liquors, many of which they age themselves. It’s not the cheapest place in town but no place this interesting ever is." - Anthony Eu
"A specialty venue in the Forum Shops at Caesars where he worked as a sous chef, contributing to its kitchen operations and service within a high-traffic retail and dining complex." - Susan Stapleton
