Troy

Went here on a Wednesday so it was completely empty. Felt really cool to have a whole fancy bar with private rooms and booths to ourselves. They have skeeball, pool and darts.

The bartender stole a tip from me.... I came here with good expectations, looking for somewhere lo-key to relax and have some good drinks with my girlfriend. We saw it was ladies drink free after 7pm when we pulled it up on google, so we figured why not? When we arrived, we asked the bartender what drinks were included, and were told that “ladies drink free is only with parties or groups”. Whatever, I was fine with paying for drinks. Happy hour is $8 for well drinks. I ordered them from another bartender because the one I was talking with previously was eating a salad in the service bar area. I ordered a vodka cranberry and vodka Red Bull. I was told $18, I questioned it because it’s $8 happy hour and 8+8=16... I then watched him charge my card for $18, and while waiting for the receipt, take two singles out of the register and sneak them into a tip bucket. He did it with such ease that it was obvious that he has done it before. I’m currently still here and I’ve seen him do it 2 more times. Finishing my drink and leaving. I work in the service industry and I was baffled. Looked for a manager to tell, but there was none in sight.

It has a great vibe........ the food was extremely over priced. I ordered a 9 dollar grilled cheese and got half a sandwich.... what the literal ****. Drinks were good and the atmosphere was amazing. Eat before you come here. Or buy the spicy fries. They seemed to be priced correctly.

Really cool underground space in Meatpacking. $20 cover on a Saturday night seemed a bit steep, but overall good time. They have pool and skeeball as well.

Awesome time! Great music, good vibes. I have been for a happy hour on a Thursday which was really fun. Great place to go with coworkers/friends. Went on a Saturday recently and it was really fun. DJ was awesome. My friend won a VIP party so we got a free bottle. Highly recommend!

First time and I loved it! Drinks are normal New York price...$13 for a cocktail. Ladies free, guys $20 cover. It was adequately packed (not suffocating packed, but not empty). There's a pool table and a photo booth. The music was great and I'm quite picky. Great mix of people too. The layout of the place is nice. Lots of private areas for you and your friends. I'll definitely be coming back here! Found a new go to spot!

Don't understand the bad reviews. It's a cool basement bar. Reasonable prices & you can dance...not sure what the problem is???? Not "creepy"...far from it. We've never had a card overcharged and we often have groups-the bouncers are cool, never been an issue.

Nice little ambiance in this basement bar. Difficult to find, but once you do this hidden bar is packed with some great tunes and relaxing atmosphere. Very spacious, you have access to many different nooks (couch areas) in which to sit and enjoy a few drinks and appetizers with friends. The drinks are expensive but then again you get something worth it. I would def come back and get a couple of drinks.

This place is labeled as a lounge but Id call it a fun, casual club. I had never heard of this place, my friend brought me here. It's so fantastic. The music was amazing, it was a great mix between hip-hop, rap, r&b, plus some old school music - the type of music that has you first pumping and reminiscing. I didn't have a drink because I just assumed it expensive however, the bartenders were very attentive to everyone. This place has a coat check that is free but you are expected to tip. don't think you have to but the lady kind of stared at me and shook her tin tip can lol. There's a bathroom attendant but there's not that many stalls but because it's not a huge place, it's not that bad. There's Tableservice just like at any club making it a bit cooler and the dance floor was is packed and there's a lot of people to dance with! I would love to come back here again especially on a spontaneous night because the dress code isn't as crazy as it is at other clubs.

I've only had great times here. A lil dungeon oasis in meatpacking. Don't go when the lights are on tho (woof)

Really friendly staff, always smiling and clearly trying to make the best of any situation. The environment is just unbearable, we had a private room with bottle service which was cool but the sound system in room was awful, pumped up way too loud and the quality of sound was very choppy; needless to say we had it disconnected. The beer prices were a bit steep as well $8 for a bud light, really? Like if it was something from Other Half Brewing or Bissel Brothers I'd understand but Bud freaking Light?! The experience itself was just not my scene, but just another kudos to the staff they were cool.

This place is tons of fun. Be sure to get on a guest list to avoid a charge or any questions at all at the door. The entrance looks a little sketchy but pay this no mind. My first time there I had a blast with only one other person, but made a few friends who made it an experience. Thereafter, I have been with groups, big and small with the same good times. Thus, alone or with a group, this place won't let you down. It can be sexy, with cocktail service and private alcoves which can be closed with a curtain. It can be fun for a group with a huge dance floor, billiards table, 2 game machines and room to roam. Bar service is quick, friendly and efficient. I can't speak on their prices as the tab was handled by someone else, but it didn't seem to break the bank. No pretentiousness, just good times. They do honor the yelp check-in offer of a free shot, so give that a try.

This place is located right behind Dos Caminos and they're actually connected! We had originally tried to get into Dos Caminos, but being that it was Cinco De Maio, there was a super long wait and we were bummed about that. We decided to walk around the corner and saw there was a bar, so we stopped in to grab a quick drink. Our bartender was great and made a delish margarita for us. I took a shot to ask if the guacamole here was made by them or by Dos Caminos, and I was super stoked to find out I was made by DC! We were happy that we got to skip the line and still get what we wanted...some guac and margaritas! We ordered the guacamole for 2 and it was HUGE. We literally got full and didn't even need to eat anything else, lol. It was soooooo good and came with some very tasty sauces. Needless to say, we killed it, and enjoyed every single bite. The have a pool table here and a few other games you can play here, too. There's couches you can sit on and plenty of seating. This place looks like it gets very lively at night, but they can certainly use a bit or redecorating.

Out and about for my friend's birthday on a snowy Saturday night. Troy Liquor Bar is pretty typical of "trendy" Manhattan clubs: horrendously overpriced drinks, packed shoulder to shoulder, screaming to carry on a conversation, and the occasional sighting of a low level celebrity. While it has some nice touches (no cost coat check, pool table, skee ball), the prices alone ($8 for a PBR, $14 for a dark n stormy) are enough to keep me from coming back.

DO NOT COME HERE! Staff is rude, company runs a scheme. There are cockroaches crawling all over the bottles, both open and closed. If you do come here, LOOK at the bar closely and you will see the cockroaches for yourself. I'm not making this up there are other reviews and other people who have seen them. The staff tells everyone they won a "free" table and all you have to do is bring 20 people! Bringing 20 people to a nyc bar is a full on job that people get paid for called a promotor. To bring 20 people to spend money at that bar and only to offer 1 small vodka bottle. None of my 20 people drink vodka so that's inconvenient. Drinks are over prices and their cockroach infestation needs to get put under control

Fun vibes! The line outside was pretty slow so just be aware if you're debating not bringing a coat in the winter...inside, it felt a lot like a less grimy frat house. we got a table because it was my friend's birthday, and it was a fun place to dance.

Sold so many tickets to their New Years party that it was incredibly unenjoyable. And I'm someone who loves crowded bars and concerts etc. Not to mention some of the worst behaved employees I've ever been around. Don't waste your time. Wish I could give this place zero stars. Update: The guy behind me in the (seemingly mile-long) coat check line reasonably asserted himself when someone tried to cut him in line. A bouncer repeatedly told him "catch me outside" while saying nothing to the guy who tried to cut the line. Another bouncer stormed in, pushing everyone aside and violently dragged the poor guy outside. The kid's girlfriend is currently still standing behind me in line and visibly panicking. Nice! Update 2: Just got word that the reason a friend of ours (incredibly harmless guy) disappeared all night is because a bouncer dragged him outside, punched him in the face and broke his glasses. Who are these guys?? Another issue which isn't so much their fault is the amount of entitled jerks we encountered bragging about the thousands of dollars they wasted on rooms and tables. Constantly treating both the guys and girls in our group like trash. Crowd was generally unpleasant, although I can't blame them for giving off bad vibes when they're surrounded by a hostile, unfair, and aggressive staff. My mind is blown by the behavior of the employees and management. Troy liquor bar should be ashamed. You couldn't pay me to return.

The bartender stole a tip from me.... I came here with good expectations, looking for somewhere lo-key to relax and have some good drinks with my girlfriend. We saw it was ladies drink free after 7pm when we pulled it up on google, so we figured why not?

He did it with such ease that it was obvious that he has done it before. I'm currently still here and I've seen him do it 2 more times. Finishing my drink and leaving. I work in the service industry and I was baffled.

I've been twice so far. The first time a friend invited me because she had won some sort of raffle and she thought she'd be getting free table and a bottle of champagne. This wasn't accurate. No table no champagne AT ALL. to top it off there was a $20 cover charge even tho I was on her guest list. And this cover seemingly is only being charged to men. We had a few more friends show up and while the girl was ok to come inside her male friend was asked to pay $20 even though he was on the guest list. Drinks are a bit pricey ($14 for a jack & coke) but strong. The place gets REALLY crowded. The DJ wasn't the best but thanks to strong drinks he didn't need to be. people were starting to loosen up despite his poor mixing. The crowd is mostly 20somethings it's a VERY loud venue. But as to be expected. It's a great place if you don't mind the $20 cover and don't mind shoulder to shoulder crowding. Overall it's a good place but DEFINITELY needs work. It's getting 3 stars because the bartender mixed a good drink. And the crowd was fun to party with.

A horrid experience last night at the Troy bar. A friend received an invite from a photographer of the establishment for a free table and invited a bunch of her friends. We were promised some bar tickets, a free bottle, and a table. We were told to enter before 11 pm for free entry for the guys. On arrival at about 10:30 pm, we were asked to wait in line in the cold none the less. By the time we entered, it was about 11:15 and we were asked to pay despite having followed the invite. We obliged since we waited as long and it turns out there wasn't a table waiting for us either. We were then treated rudely by the bartenders, inclusive of curse words. He was acting like he did a favor to us by serving drinks. So we were baited to come in only to be treated like The night ended with some people sexually harassing our friend and pushing her to the floor. Bouncers were omnipresent but we had to wait long until they came to do anything about it. We were then kicked out as well, despite not dispensing a hit, and not really knowing why. To highlight the good: The music at the place was lit and the place has a nice ambiance. Nonetheless, steering clear of this place from now.

We came on a Friday night around 1030pm and were let in for free cause the bouncer was nice. I heard that there was $20 cover for guys as the night went on. Super loud music, very dim lighting. Drinks were expensive as they always are. Moscow mule + beer ended up being $25. The ceilings here were fairly low and the music was quite loud. They have several private rooms that you can rent out that seem fairly relaxing. One of them had darts while another had a library setup. We were able to relax in it for a bit, which was refreshing from the packed dance floor. Music in here reminds me of the ATL scene, lots of rap music mixed with 90s hip hop. The DJ for the night would constantly be switching songs every 45 seconds, which was a bit annoying. Stayed about 2 hours, which was probably a bit too long. I regained my hearing once we left.

Went for my friend's 21st birthday on a Saturday night. There was a long line outside around 11:45. We managed to get in quickly cause my friend knew a promoter. Pros: - Good music, they played a bunch of current songs and throwbacks. Great balance. - Low lights and private booths available. - People walk around clearing empty glasses away so it's kind of clean. - Appropriate sized bathrooms that are kept clean. Cons: - Took us at least 10-15 minutes to get to the bar and actually order a drink - There were only 3 bartenders and a whole bunch of people trying to order at once Overall probably not a place that I would return to on a normal day. It's great for hosting events though. I think there was a bachelorette party going on. There was a woman wearing a veil. Returned for another friend's birthday. This time our table was right by the entrance to the dance floor area. People kept pushing past us, it was not fun. Get tables that are located on the right hand side when you first come in. Those are more private.

Hidden basement bar. This is where you go If enjoy deafening music and want to avoid conversations. Music is too loud! I came here for a networking event and won't attend the next one. Place has some private rooms, pool, foosball and some even have books. I think the camera/video thing was the funniest thing to play with there. Pro There is a coat check!

Came here with a friend who won the free happy hour - it's real! The space was nice and it wasn't too crowded during HH (6-9PM). The Asian DJ was killing it with his mashups - my friends and I really enjoyed his ability to add some throwbacks in there without ruining the flow. I only had beers so I can't comment on the cocktail drinks, but the appetizers were great - the buffalo wings and the Guac/Chips especially! {you get 2 free for the free HH} Overall, I liked our time here even if it was a bit too hipster for my liking. Additionally, the service would have been better, but for a free happy hour, oh well!

Emily would loooove this place! Good booze and vibe! Happy Hour until 9 which is great!

I was looking forward to this place - my friend somehow got a special for a table and 2 free apps. There were about 15 of us - which we could tell was overwhelming our waitress. So we decided to try to grab drinks from the bar - apparently we can't do that if we have a table. So we had to watch this poor waitress serve the entire place before coming back to us. Then, there is 1 free shot deal on yelp (uh, hello, I love free stuff!!) So we tried to get it. The waitress first asked me what it even was - after an explanation, she turned to our group and said, "No, order that at the end, I'm only taking orders for people who are actually gunna buy stuff." I get it, you're busy, but if the staff doesn't know about the deal and also refuses to serve it, then request to take it off the site. Part of the group ended up leaving shortly after that since we weren't getting served anything because the waitress was overwhelmed and the bartender wouldn't serve people at tables. Lastly, after a friend looked at the check, they saw they were charged for the apps they were supposed to get for free. She had to go back another day to get refunded. This place needs to get their act together. It's a cool place and nicely set up, but the sub par service makes it not worth while.

Troy encapsulates all of art, music, and fashion. The entrance and layout of Troy is what really does it. Having to walk down these steps to a graffiti tagged door was pretty cool. The layout in the downstairs basement has a little bit of everything. The walls are lined with art of music legends. They have the bar set up, some small tables with lounge seating, pool table, a small seating area that resembles almost a library. Surprisingly with all of this, they are still able to fit a huge amount of people inside. Most of the people that come here usually have some unique sense of fashion and style. I saw a lot of different types of outfits from everyone that was here. Really a good spot to get a mixture of people in a small meltingpot-like area. As with most spots in Meatpacking, drinks are pretty expensive. Paid 27 bucks for 2 vodka sodas.

I went here last night for my best friends birthday celebration. She won a free happy hour for her birthday from a previous time we visited this location. I believe her party was from 6:30-10:30 the happy hour was from 6-10pm. On arrival a waitress came to the table and my boyfriend ordered two orders of wings and fries we arrived around 7:30 and it was fairly empty. The food came within 15 mins of ordering. I then went to the far right of the bar and I ordered two rum punch ldrinks which were $8 each. I handed this lady my card and she opened a tab and said that she would bring the drinks to me. 15 mins passed and I proceeded to walk to the bar because I felt that was a long time for you to just bring two drinks. As I was walking toward the bar she was bringing the drinks. They were decent so I went about partying and taking pictures with my friends. We decided to close our tabs and proceed to the next venue. This is where I get irritated. I come to the bar and I say hey I'm ready to close my tab. The waitress/bartender whichever she was hands me a bill that is not mine. So I say to her " I ordered two drinks this is not my bill" she ask me " did you order food" now if I just said to you this is not my bill why would you then proceed to ask me if I ordered food when you took my order for the two drinks and delivered them to my table. She looks as if she confused then says she's going to take care of it. She then looks through all the open tabs and says in a very sassy tone "well their are two tabs open with the same last name." I then respond and say "what does that have to do with me I don't care that's not my bill so figure it out" which really annoyed me. It's not my job to keep tabs of who's name is who or who ordered what. If you can't remember what people ordered and put it on the designated card for the order then you guys shouldn't be keeping cards to create tabs. The unnecessary attitude she gave when she was the one in wrong had me flustered and feeling as if would never return to this establishment against. She then got her manager to void the charge and gave me a proper bill without an apology. The music was good the food was good. I would only recommend that they work on their customer service because that's an ultimate deal breaker. The more people that arrived the worst the service got and that pissed me off. Some pointers: I think the pole table is to close to the other game people playing pool constantly bump into people so it should be moved into a more open space. They just have the pool table, the other game and the photo booth all in one area.Everyone loves a photo booth we probably took a zillion pictures!

Woah! What an atrocious place. It was my best friend's 30th, she bought a table, and I went to the bar for a cocktail a la carte: a vodka Red Bull for my partner. When they made me a tequila Red Bull, and I returned for a corrected drink, two bartenders found it necessary to make obscene and homophobic gestures at me in response while serving the amended cocktail. It was surprising to me- something I don't typically expect from adult men in Manhattan. Guess the times are changing in the Trump Pence years. I now know to spend my dollars elsewhere in the Meatpacking District. My ancestors who made this neighborhood a viable nightlife district are turning in their graves. The evening got progressively worse as the night wound down, with staff working Coat Check who didn't understand how Coat Check worked. Massive fire hazards formed in hallways of dozens clamoring for 30 mins or more trying to get their coats, being met with confusion and anger from staff in a sweaty stupor who were handing out the wrong coats and then dismissing guests with fury. I think the folks here have bitten off more than they can chew with this establishment. Tl;dr: Your time is better spend elsewhere in Meatpacking, you have many more options.

I had a lot of fun at Troy's last night. The music was great and the crowd was fun. The reason I have to leave a 1 star rating is because there were cockroaches crawling over the open bottles of alcohol behind the bar.

I ordered bottle service and booked a room for my birthday here and I had a superb experience. Bottle service was great, regular drinks were okay. The waitresses were attentive, and the space was very nice. I had been to this club once before and knew I had to come back for the great music and ambiance. It is rather loud but no louder than one would expect at a club in my opinion. The private room I was in was rather small for a 20+ guestlist but it was fine since my guests and I were frequently on the dance floor. Lastly, the entire club was packed and sometimes it was hard to get around, but again not unexpected of this type of venue. 10/10 would recommend and I will be back!

The reviews mentioning the 'VIP party' scams are all true. I just went through a very negative experience this past Saturday. I went to a friend's VIP party here, and entered a 'draw' to wing a similar night. This most likely isn't a draw - they call every single person that signs that list to offer them a 'free' party. I was offered this 'free party' and then received a lot of e-mails prompting me to confirm my attendance. The e-mail promised the following perks: 'Complimentary admission for guys til 11pm, Ladies free all night · Email Invite to forward to your guests · Drink tickets for yourself as the host · Late Night Bottle Specials and reserved section, complimentary bottle for 20+ppl (gratuity not included)' When I entered the club that night, I was informed I would have to pay $40 as gratuity for the bottle. The e-mails I received did not specify this amount, and I was mislead and lied to. The surprise charge was sprung on me and with my guests having arrived, and I was forced into to an embarrassing social situation, with no choice but to pay, as I could not ask my guests to return home. When I told Erica, one of the 'VIP party hosts' that the charge was not specified to me beforehand, she told me it was in the e-mail. But if you look at the e-mail I quoted above, there is no indication of a $40 charge anywhere - simple a statement saying 'gratuity not included'. Gratuity is something that is paid at the discretion of the customer, and a specific amount should never be forced. If the New York Parties e-mail had been transparent about this $40 charge, I would have never agreed to arranging this party and this whole situation could have been avoided.  To make matters worse, I never received the personal drink vouchers, despite asking the rude staff twice. I called Matt, one of the New York Party representatives, to rectify this situation and ask for a refund, and he simply passed the phone on to Erica. I then explained the situation to her and how the e-mail never specified there would be a $40 charge for the vodka bottle, and she kept repeating to me that she would re-forward the e-mail to me specifying the charge. I however never received such an email specifying this amount, so it would be impossible for her to re-forward such an e-mail. Unfortunately, she refused to acknowledge this wrong-doing and blamed me for accepting the charge at the club, and then she hung up the phone on me. If you had invited your friends to a party that you were told was free in writing, you would not simply leave and tell your friends to go home - it is a situation expressly designed to force someone into, quite frankly, paying a scam, surprise charge. I would advise strongly against accepting any of their offers, and the club in itself is very average with a questionable crowd. It's overly crowded and someone jumped over the sofa in my designated VIP area and dropped a drink on my dress. Save yourself the hassle and don't go here.

Nice bar good happy hour prices dj is good after 10 more hip hop abd reggae . 2 time going here it's still fun hadsliders with my Lana tonight they were very good and pitchers of water and a beer helped too.

Different name, same bar. If you've come here under the name 675 bar, don't expect anything different. You'll be able to dance with slightly less douchey people than the meat packing crowd, many tourists, & frat brothers. If you're looking to get away from that suitor that has his eye on you, you better come up with a plan, as those boys circle like vultures over a dead carcass.

Troy Liquor Bar is the old 675 space in Meatpacking, under Bill's Burger Bar at 13th and Hudson. The space is cavernous, with a nicely sized lounge area with bar, banquettes, and a pool table on one end. I came the second day they were open, as they had a two hour open bar on specialty cocktails. Um, yes. Around the perimeter there are lots of little semi private alcoves with TVs, so this seems like a great place to come chill with a small group of friends. The music is more rock themed, since they are trying to get rid of the clubby atmosphere from before. Not sure if it's a place to come during nice weather because it's underground, but if the weather is hot, cold, rainy, or otherwise inclement, this is a great place to spend a evening. I had the Tall Cool One (sweet tea bourbon, lemon) which was tartly sweet, and the Thunder Road (rye, lemon, six point) which was boozy and served with pretzels as a garnish! My bartender Rella was super nice. Specialty cocktails are $12 each (a steal for this nabe), beers $7/8 for draft and $5-8 for bottles and cans. A glass of wine will set you back anywhere from $9-12.

I've been to this bar twice: once in college for a friend's birthday party and once for a mixer. Maybe I'm just getting old and sensitive to loud noises, but damn, it was soooo LOUD the other night. The mixer was from 6-9pm in the main area and it was way too dark and way too loud to be able to talk to people in a normal voice. I nearly lost my voice talking to a friend for two hours. The music choice itself isn't too bad. I would totally go back for a night out and some drinks. I don't remember if there was a cover charge when I came here years ago for the birthday party, but from what I'm reading in other reviews, it seems like there is $20 cover charge. Which is normal at bars/lounges in the Meatpacking area. I do have to say the inside decor is pretty with brick walls. There's also a few "rooms" (really more of a table with seating) when you walk down the long hallway, which I'm guessing people book for parties and such.

Don't Ever go to this Bar!! They pick and choose who they want to let in weather your on the guest list or having an event.. Erica who works the Front outside was very rude and Nasty at first I was told they were packed so I had to wait but than she let 2 groups of 7 people go in.. Than I was told because I'm not a celebrity that I had to wait after she let 3 different groups of people in and the Production team I work with and for was hosting an event there .. I will Never come back again and I will make it a priority that No one Else is treated this way or comes to this place

Really nice bar!! Music selection was poppin. Bar service was great. Food was really affordable and good. The vibe inside is really smooth. Everybody from everywhere having a good time. For a Friday night the security guys were not jerks! Very calm and attentive. That's a must for bars in NYC!! My friends just walked in but had to eat at the bar while the tables and chairs we empty but reserved. It was such a good time we'll be making reservations next time!

Great space for a happy hour! I hosted a few of my friends here and we were extremely taken care of. The waitress was attentive and super sweet. Erica - who helped set the whole thing up - was the absolute best. She made sure everything was ready for us before we arrived. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend.

I went here on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday. The venue itself was pretty cool, but nothing stood out to me beyond that. I was not a fan of the music, it was very hard to dance to and had a lot of EDM, not to mention nobody was dancing. I was there during prime time (Saturday night at 11PM-2AM), but the crowd was kind of dead & boring. My friends wanted to play Foosball but the ball was missing. I do not think I will be returning anytime soon.

This place is a black hole. It looks like a fraternity basement. Just don't go. and it's way overcrowded. Second time I went wasn't that bad so I gave it 3 stars instar of 2

This place could be so good. But it falls short. Pros Great space, cool and modern and well appointed. The drink prices aren't terrible but are on the more expensive side. Friendly staff. CONS It is too damn loud in here. It's a brick lined room so sound bounces around till your ears are ringing The DJ mediocre I feel like I'm at a high school dance.

I just want to give a huge shout out to Erica @ Troy for always going above and beyond for me. I've been having my birthday at Troy the past 2 years and multiple nights out & Erica and the entire staff at Troy always come through and treat me with top tier service that's unmatched. I always have a good time when I go to troy.

ASSULT Went to this bar expecting a classy night. Bathroom attendent treid to FORCE me into a stall then proceeded to forcefully shove me and my friend. Wouldn't recommend.

DO NOT ACCEPT THEIR HAPPY HOUR RAFFLE PRIZE!!!!! TOTAL SCAM!!!!!!!!! After visiting Troy Liquor Bar once, I signed up for their raffle. A week later, a marketing representative called me and congratulated me on winning their Office Happy Hour prize. She explained that I get to invite all my co-workers to the bar with free seating, free appetizers, free drinks and drink specials. Sounds like a sweet deal, right?? I naively accepted. On the day of my Happy Hour, I brought roughly a dozen people and we cornered a nice seating nook near the bar. The marketing representative handed us 2 appetizer tickets. It was quite odd to me that they would hand us only TWO appetizer tickets when I thought that the flyer said we would receive free appetizers in general. I figured that she would hand out more throughout the night. WRONG. About an hour later, I asked about our free drinks and she handed me TWO drink tickets. This is where I put a stop to things. I asked her if this was all that my group would benefit from. She replied, "Oh yes, if you bring a total of 20 people, you will get a free bottle of champagne!"... One bottle of champagne for all 20 guests? Riiiight. I could see the scam ever so clearly at this point. I was basically lured into bringing a large group of people to this bar in which we would all be spending our own cash on 90% of the bill. Everybody ordered a large number of drinks, thinking that this would be discounted. I felt terribly awful that I brought in my friends and coworkers and made them pay for such a dishonest marketing scheme. It would be one thing if I was the only one who was tricked into this, but its another thing when the flyer made ALL MY COWORKERS believe that they were getting a really great deal. Before this whole mess, I loved going to Troy Liquor Bar and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. However, after this experience, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I vow never to return. What makes matters worse is that days after my Happy Hour from Hell, a number from Texas appeared on my phone. It was yet ANOTHER marketing representative calling about their deals and opportunities to book more Office Happy Hours at Troy. She did the whole sleazy sales routine and I ended up hanging up on her. Seriously...unprofessional, unclassy, and a total scam.

Love this place. Although it gets really packed and it's full of college kids. I personally love it. Drinks are good not too pricey. Music is also good. The line for the girls bathroom gets tremendously long due to their only being 3 stalls. It's the kind of place that you get pushed but it's okay lol, if you're not into that kind of thing definitely not the place for you. It's also dark and the line to get in at times it gets long. I like coming here!

This place is Incredibly racist. They dragged my African-American friend out of the bar for absolutely no reason and I asked to speak to a manager and they completely ignored me because they know their establishment is racist. It's absolutely terrible and not even fun. Their drinks are overpriced and it's only fun if you are a white female and even then they are trash.

They charge you 80 bucks and they won't check your coat literally eventhough they said it's in the ticket price and it's winter

VIP TABLE SCAM. Please read other people's reviews about the VIP table SCAM prior to accepting their "offers." I was going to write a more detailed review about this scam but other people already have done the job. OH AND 2 OF MY OTHER FRIENDS "WON" THIS DEAL ON THE SAME NIGHT LOLOL. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! Manipulating their own customers into becoming their promoting minions... not right... This place needs to be investigated. HIGHLIGHT: you need a MINIMUM of 20 ppl to share a bottle of Tito's and you need to pay 40 dollars gratuity. And when they say "few" drink tickets, it seems like few is only 2 drink tickets (they do not specify the number of drink tickets you will get).

Went there yesterday for the first time...the music is very nice if you're into hip hop/rap/pop. Overall environment was a 3.5/5. There were a few ex frat boys that were fighting one another and the security guard but everything else was relatively fine. However, the bartenders suck. Especially the lady whose closer to the right exit side of the bar. I placed my drink on the bar to order another and this woman threw it away and then proceeded to be RUDE af afterwards. She knew she wouldn't get a tip so she didn't ask and I appreciate her for that but she still tried me. I ended up being charged $24 for a drink cause I asked for an extra shot to be added. The irony is that she threw away my shot and then charged me for two drinks when I asked for an extra shot. Grimy. They have a VIP promotion that they're doing to attract more folks into the club but they should tell their shitty bartenders to get on board and not try to run people out of the club. Tsk. Tsk.

I attended one of my friend's VIP Parties here and thought it had such a cool speakeasy vibe but with great un-pretentious music that actually got people up and dancing. My whole group had an amazing time, we stayed right until closing and I booked my own party for my birthday!

Fun spot in Meatpacking with better music! I came here for a friend's birthday party this past weekend. It is definitely a cool atmosphere and a little different than your usual spots in Meatpacking. They played a diversity of hip hop through out the night. Located in the bottom of Dos Caminos, its definitely worth checking out and having a great time!

This place is very nasty & racist, the man in the front looked at me up & down & let a couple of white people in who were dressed casual & looked at me again and said sorry your dressed too casual. He then stepped to the said and opened the entrance side so I can walk away and leave. This was extremely disrespectful & never has this happened to me in the meatpacking area.

How this place has 3 stars is a mystery to me. Our friend got this promotion where if she brings 20 friends to the bar, she can get a free bottle. Plus, it sounded like a cool place on the website, so we decided to go. First off, the bouncers were giving us a hard time. We told him we were with a party and he verified on the list. We went downstairs and the bouncer asked us all the same questions all over again, EXCEPT this time he tried to charge my two guy friends $20 cover. We told him that we were part of a party and he's like "well your hand isn't stamped." Yeah...cuz you're the one stamping. How would we have gotten one if you didn't give us a stamp? Anyway, finally, the guy upstairs cleared it with the bouncer downstairs and he let us in. This situation could've easily have been avoided! Also, the place was empty when we went in. Why he was charging $20 cover at 11pm when the bar is empty is just beyond me. Second, the pool and foosball tables were not open all night. Once midnight hit and the crowd picked up, the bouncers told us we couldn't play unless we buy a bottle. Seriously? I have to spend $200+ to play a round of foosball? Third, the drink prices here are not justified. I've been to nicer, upscale bars that charge better prices than this. A beer is $9 and a regular well drink is $13. I can't imagine what their "fancy cocktail" drinks cost. I would pay those prices if I went to a nice rooftop garden with a view, but not at a dingy, smelly basement bar that's supposedly low key. I wouldn't come back again. There's plenty of good bars in the area that I would rather go to on a Saturday night.

I have been to this bar a couple of times. Thoroughly unimpressed. Between the couches that look like they have been picked up off of the street, the ambiance that reminds one of a serial killer's basement, and the odd combination of pool table and nook with a mini library, I would recommend you pass on this place. If I am going to pay the NYC premium for drinks, I will do it someplace better.

I have been here three times with my most recent visit happening on a Friday evening around 11pm. Ambience: Doorman was super nice. Really cool decor. Place can get too packed (like fire hazard packed). Crowd: Mostly people in their 20s. Music: Top 40 and some 90s/early 00s songs. Drinks: Pricey yet strong. Even their happy hours specials are regular drinks prices. I think it's one of those places in New York you should try at least once, but not a place I would frequent regularly.

This bar is garbage. Hot garbage. "Foosball, board games & pool meet cocktails & beer at this low-frills basement lounge" says Google. Since when does "low-frills" mean $20 cover? But sure fine let's go with it. I've paid cover at many places and I've thought it was worth it most of the time. Not here. Not by a longshot. Well drinks fetch the same price as a swanky rooftop bar. After paying top dollar, the drinks were awful. Tasted like a puddle under a Long John Silver's dumpster. It gets worse boys and girls. You have ONE foosball table. ONE pool table. Oh and as the night progresses, there's a bottle service area that takes up 1/3 of the open space near the bar while also making bottle service a requirement to play pool. There's a great area to dance, but the huge area dedicated to bottle service clumps the peasants (who cares about them right?) in the middle. No room to dance if you wanted to. Positives: DJ was great. Good on you man. Get bottle service at decent bar. Don't give this place the satisfaction. If you're one of the peasants you get a hard lesson that you're worthless. Remember LOW FRILLS!!!!!
