Honestly I wish I had better things to say about this place because it has a lot of potential. One good thing is if you get there before ten there shouldn’t be line, but it goes downhill from there. It was absolutely packed and sweltering in there. It was 90 degrees outside and somehow hotter inside this bar. My drink with tip was $23 which is expected for manhattan prices but the cocktail was probably 4 oz no joke. Not to mention I was waiting for 20 minutes for the drink while continuously being pushed out of the way by the barbacks, when there was nowhere else for me to go. There was no seating space in the whole venue and it took 15 minutes pushing through the crowds just to get to the bathroom—which had another long line. Oh and you have to wait in line if you want to get to the second floor after waiting in a line to get inside. I would consider coming back here on a Monday or Tuesday night, but clearly going on a Friday was a bad decision.
