Fat Buddha

The fat Buddha cocktail was the best cocktail I’ve ever had. The food was so yummy and our waitress was lovely. It’s a little hard to find because it’s behind a cafe.

Accommodated my large group last minute, staff was super friendly, took our orders quickly, and the drinks were great. Let us take up the couch and standing room in the back. Was perfect spot for barhopping on my birthday, and was fun to be able to take my out of town friends to a speakeasy. They gave me an extra drink since it was my birthday too! Thank you so much for having us! Will be back and will be recommending!

The original was a better this one is just not the same vipe .

Great bar with solid food. The wings here are really delicious. Staff isn’t the friendliest but the music makes up for it. Decent happy hour specials and conveniently located on 14th Street and Avenue A. It usually gets busy later in the evening. Try the Buddha Beer. The Passionrita is also real nice.

Great idea, nice space but food is lacking. Brunch is decently portioned (under previous management) but last time I came here for dinner, the bland food and small portions left a sour taste in my mouth.The first time I was here, a friends friend was DJing. So many people cramped into this cozy bar and music bouncing off the walls made for a fun time.Perhaps Ill skip the food next time and just head here for the music/night scene.

It is a great experience. Dont let the outside deter you. Its a great atmosphere and really great food. The seats are set arlund the bar. It has an assortment of Korean cuisine. The dragon wings are especially delightful. Any entre is a great choice. They also have great drinks and cocktails. The only thing is that there a wait between ordering your food and getting the plate, but overall a great choice to go and enjoy yourself.

Finally checked out this spot and had a good time. The music was good and so were the drinks

The venue is large but the bar takes up a majority of it. There is a dance floor, a the way at the back. the DJ is good, you can definitely bump to their music choices. Theres a good variety of food there that is Korean style.

Must make it a point to visit again. When we got there it was super crowded and hard to get to the bar to order. As the night wind down we found a spot by the bar and decided to stay there. The bartenders were awesome (our group drinks a lot) and even gave/had a shot with me before we left.

Great drinks. Great food. Great music. Great vibes. Good prices too. If youre looking for a cool place to unwind, definitely give this place a look. Has become a favorite for coworkers and I after long days work.

3 tables and huge bar in the center of the room. They have to have more chairs, coz people are coming a lot of space everywhere but no chairs.Food was delicious loved the soy chicken bites! I didnt check if they have delivery, Id go there one more time just for them))Drinks are average.DJ was nice! People were packed on that quite small dance floor.Overall good for ppl from 21 till 28 I think ))4 stars coz dude that works there literally took my chair when I was eating and drinking on bar with my friends, saying to many ppl we have to make more space. And he did this only with one side of bar. Consider this very rude and unprofessional. #localspot

We always come through here when we want to dance. If you’re lucky an OG hip hop head rolls through to perform or spin. The food is excellent and the staff is great. We love Fat Buddha. 💕

I was at a loss for what to drink, and the bartender was nice enough to make a suggestion and offer me a sample. Dont get the buddha beer unless you like beer-flavored water. Theres plenty of bar space with the serving area in the middle and seating along all 4 sides. Tables are available in the back too if you want to get a large group together for some early drinking before the DJ turns up the volume and the tables & chairs are removed for late night dancing. Free coat and bag check is available, and the bouncers make sure you make use of it.

It was a great space with an awesome atmosphere that was both cozy and intimate. The hidden door direct really helped make it a vibe and an experience as a first timer plus the staff was very respectful and attentive which was awesome. I would definitely recommend as a good pregame spot, small friends night out, or even a date night for those looking for a cozy spot to get a drink and dance a bit

Cheap drinks and good live DJ. The party gets lit on Saturdays but be warned - the venue is small. Arrive early and dress trendy; door can be challenging late.

Love this place for great hip hop and r & b. They play real hip hop. Lychee martinis are yummy and I love their Korean food. Gotta try the Bulgogi fries. So yums. Portion is not that big so you might need 2 for large groups. Also their vegetarian buns are surprisingly so yummy. Taste better than their meat buns

Cozy spot, good music. I wished they made this general cho dish with white meat. Drinks are strong The incense they use is,,, intoxicating. lolI caught a set from Maseo from De La soul. A mixed genre set. The Female bartenders were helpful. The dude with beard wasnt. Thats kool. Im into ladies helping me anyway.

Satisfactory place. I went for the happy hour. The sliders was what I ordered and they were tasty.I also ordered the lychee martini. They were quaint and ok. For 6 not bad. Couldnt imagine ordering them outside of happy hour. No way. One was made horribly and super weak and one was made really well. Two were okay.It being happy hour made this whole thing passable. Service was cool and the food was tasty.I would return tho.

Typical hole in the wall bar with expensive drinks and bartenders people oggle at. Honestly could be real good, but not my kind of place. Has the feel of a club/bar in LA, and gets super packed. Oh yeah.. theres a cover charge.. no thanks

LIT turnout after 11pm. There is a long bar in the front and a dance floor in the back. The drinks are not cheap but wont knock you over the head in prices. The music is always modern hip-hop with a little throwbacks mixed in. You will be waiting in a line if u come after midnight.

This is based on a Saturday night, girls night out (we are 30+). $5 cover charge was reasonable, coat check available. Bar does take up most of the space, but we were just there to dance so we headed to the back where the DJ is. Music was pretty good. We expected more 90s hip hop, but thats how the DJ started and then it was more current pop/hip hop. Mostly all was dance-able. Here are some song examples: Poison (Bell Biv DeVoe), Cheap Thrills (Sia), Party Up (DMX), Move B*tch, (Ludacris), Phenomena (LL Cool J), Wild Thoughts (Rihanna), Like Glue and Get Busy (Sean Paul), Stronger (Kanye), 24 Karat Magic (Bruno), Back that Ass up (Juvenile), some Drake songs. He started some reggae songs like Murder She Wrote, but didnt always finish those. A good time, but nothing by Snoop, Dre, Nate Dogg, Diddy, Notorious Big, Jay Z, or J Lo. For us, the search continues for a true 90s hip/hop bar.

I have been going to Fat Buddha consistently over the last year and a half and would recommend to anyone looking for a casual bar hangout with great Korean/asian food.When you walk in the bar is gigantic and occupies the vast majority of the space with some seating scattered all around. On Fridays and the weekend their is usually a DJ playing music. If you want to go to a place and hangout this is a great spot, but if you are on a first date this will probably be a little to loud.Lets talk about the food, I really enjoy going to fat Buddha because the food and the good pricing during happy hour. I usually eat the dolsot bimbimbap and shrimp mandoos. Both are always amazing and they always leave me wanting more. I have tried the Buddha bun and dragon fries which are also very good. Ive been wanting to try the wings and calamari but have not gotten around to it yet because I love the other options so much.In terms of drinks, they have decent drink specials and the bar tenders make strong drinks. I tend to get pretty good service whenever I go to fat Buddha with the caveat I tend to go early and arent here when going out crowd has arrived.Overall, this is just a nice hangout spot with surprisingly good food.#happyhour #localspot #livemusic

One of the worst bar experience. Dont ever make an eye contact with the Bartender. I was with there with couple of friends enjoying the moment and out of no where bartender comes up to me and he wants to fight me because i made a eye contact with him. And after a while i spoke to the bouncer and later manager came and spoke with me. He was nice enough to refund us the admission fee. I went there a week later and the staffs there didnt let me get in. And when i asked for manager they didnt even bother contacting them. Next time u go, just be careful.

Fat Buddha is a cool hip hop bar and lounge with surprisingly good Chinese and Korean food. Now its not the type of well balanced Chinese food menu that you would expect from a full restaurant, but they have great bar snacks and some bigger dishes (Miso Salmon, Bibimbap bowls, etc.). Their pork buns are great. They are made with pulled pork rather than pork belly, which makes for a meatier but slightly less juicy experience. Its very good. Their chicken wings are crispy and perfect as are their short ribs. Phenomenal. Great place for a night out with friends in a lively (read slightly loud) environment or to watch a sports game with great hip hop..

This place was so much fun! It was very crowded which was the downside of it all. One of the bouncers though saw that the people were pushing way too much and so he came and stood right in the middle of the dance floor which calmed the pushing and shoving lol.

Really liked the place, music is awesome and drinks are solid. I didnt get a chance to try the food but will next time. Place has a real nice ambience to it

The mood inside was very cool and laid back. DJ inside playing (spinning?) all kinds of music, hip-hop, house, mashups (mashitup!). The food is a Korean-mix style with chicken wings, different types of fries, buns, desserts and of course there is a bar.My friends and I dont drink much and came for the music and some food. We shared an order of sweet potato fries and got a side of spicy mayo for dipping. We enjoyed ourselves. We also got an order of buns which gets you three pieces of either pork, beef, or soy chicken (not actual chicken, soy based faux chicken). I dont eat for legged animals so we shared the soy chicken buns. They were very tasty and though they didnt need it I added some of the delicious and liquidy spicy mayo.They do card you when you go so, Im guessing you gotta be 21+ to get in, maybe you can still partake in just eating?We also shared the honey garlic chicken wings. Tasty and messy. Id like some carrots and celery to add to the value of the wings. 6 pieces for $10? hmm. They were good Ill say that.We did do some dancing as there was space and my friends make their living shaking their bonbons (friend for candy, American for booties).Slip in eat, dance and be merry. Oh and I will return they have some interesting desserts that I want to try.Enjoy!

They gave us Valentine’s champagne and chocolates. DJ was great

The bibimap and the Buns with beef were awesome. Those are the two r things I would get again. Staff was very accommodating for me and my son and my stroller they give us the back corner table before it started to rowdy

I just loved it. The happy hour is excellent wings and okay beer. The space is cool. The bartenders are cool. The vibe is cool. The crowd is cool. It all works.

One of NYCs best bars. Great for and drinks... cool spot

Theres always something happening at Fat Buddha. I know this because theyre very active on social media, which I always appreciate from an establishment. There are some Korean elements in the menu, such as their bulgogi fries (Definitely order) Cass Beer (Do NOT order) and their kimchi back shots.

Had a great time with friends. Amazing drinks, great staff, and music to keep you moving all night. Definitely a must!

Fat Buddha is awsome!This is a nice place. Good people and a great atmosphere! Me, my wife and friends really enjoyed ourselves! We will be visiting again!

Bartenders are quick. prices are reasonable. music was good and was 90s to present day pop/hip hop

It is a terrific place u can drink with dancing plus with awesome Korean style food. I picked up the Dragon Wings for 11 bucks including tax and it tasted great.

Went on my Birthday...2/24/14...Had a wonderful time...great music...just what I like...old skl hiphop...food was superb...prices are great on the food and drinks...Another great place to go in my city.

Love this spot its a must every time i visit New York. Excellent food and great friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend especially if you love great music :)

The DJs are always great, the music is always great, the crowd is usually great on weeknights, the pork buns are tasty, and the happy hour is solid. Love Fat Buddha. Love it.

Nice atmosphere, good drinks

Oh fat budda. Ive been coming here for years. Its my to-go local bar. They serve great food before 10pm and its not your typical bar food. Its good korean/fusion type food. Go early for food and happy hour. If you dont like a large crowd i would not recommend going on a thurs-sat late night. Also they have a cover on fri-sat after a certain time. I love the staff here. Theyre all friendly. The music is also good.

Only stopped in for a few drinks. Hip-hop heavy playlist, but enjoyably so. Very quiet on a Wednesday during happy hour.Not the cheapest happy hour around, but glasses were clean and the place did not smell like bar cleaner. FTW!I will definitely come back and try the food.

Music (think Bay area hip hop from the early 2000s) sucked the night I was there. Cocktail I ordered was terrible too (it was just sour mix??)

Dj maseo killed it love the club the atmosphere the owners are really great ppl drinks and the food is really good as well. A must go especially Mondays

Very poor service. My entire party got their food before I did. My friend who arrived late and ordered 20 minutes after me got his food before I did. This place is the worst, and the vibe is weird.

Food is great for a bar! Good hip hop music. Evie the bartender was great!

Amazing food! Great drinks! Staff is the best I have ever had the pleasure of meeting!

Great food, drinks, vibes, and music. If you love hiphop go there!

Great bartenders. DJ was on point! Good happy hour. The buns are delicious!

Dope spot for all you real hip hop heads

Love this place. They have a great young crowd and dancing music on Thursday night, drinks, food and a Buddha alter on the wall.

In the back of the bar theres a Buddha covered in glam, which is incredibly offensive to the religion of buddhism. (Buddha should never be used as a bar decoration)$10 cover for guys, $5 for girls. The bar is a dance floor thats uncomfortably packed with underaged NYU students. Id recommend avoiding this bar given the multiple choice around.

Small lil pub. Drinks are ok. Had a great d.j. on Wednesday night

Small, crowded, expensive, but the music wasnt bad! I also went on a Friday night.

Ive been here on two separate occasions, myself Black Label and ginger ale both times a ginger ale was fizzy water

Excellent food, good atmosphere, attentive staff and great music.

Music was good, usual crowded little place. Free entry worth totally worth it.

Is a good place to socialize, it has great food good people and music with live DJs.

Great late night bar to visit in the LES. They serve food late and thats a plus.

Chill spot for a night out in the city. May get extremely packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Lines are unavoidable past 10pm.

Great food, affordable drinks, great crowd and music

If you like vaguely korean food with lots of european dance pop this is your place.

Good food, Saturday happy hour, always a good time

I love everything about this place especially weekend party nights!

If 5 stars is the limit, then we need to change that and give them a ****** star....i am pleased

Good low key bar for music and cheap drinks.

The place was cool. Not worth the cover fee

Love the music but was shocked so many koreans hit the spot on a Friday

Went here after an event with my friends and it was pretty pretty fun.

Such a legendary go to bar thats embedded with hip-hop and Asian eats!!! A+ All Around!!!!

Guaranteed Hip-Hop fun, music, food, drinks, and cool people.

Cool bar/lounge with a decent happy hour and good Asian food..

I hate when a place gets to big for its britches and treat locals who were born in the neighborhood like dirt. Shame on you!

A little bit of the old New York still left in the Lower East Side. Just renovated, looking nice!!

I have an amazing time every time I set foot in this place. Never a dull moment.

Pretty popular amongst my circle of friends. Seems like a regular bar. Nothing really special stood out to me.

Excellent place to go chill, drink and meet new people!

One of my favorite party spots, I hope they come back soon

Good food 90s vibe hot Asian guys l.e.s finestヽ(^。^)丿

Bad sound system.. Not sure but I heard they upgraded. Wont be returning to find out

Asian restaurant that turns into a hip hop club... Cool!

Remember when this place had a giant bar in the middle? Huge improvement since then. The lighting has improved tremendously and its much more akin to a sleek lounge. Definitely a fun place with a young crowd. They kept the dance floor in the back with the holy buddha. Plays a good mix of hip hop and club music. Drinks are fairly priced. Small cover + free coat check

Great bartenders and amazing vegan chicken buns

Very crowded but still very good music

Small dance floor and crowded, Mostly hip hop music

This place looks a bit strange from the outside and even when you walk in, but I love it. The have good drinks and a friendly staff.I would highly recommend getting the tacos. And the vegetarian ones are my favorite! They have good happy hour specials too.

Pretty cool bar, but has a 10 dollar cover. Its a chill bar, but nothing to warrant being worth the cover charge. Plenty of other equal or better bars around with no cover charge. Im not against paying a cover charge but the surrounding bars where better and much more lit with no cover charge.

Came here last Friday! Was super chill and refreshingly had a crowd that wasnt full of drunk college students. Hard to find places for the 25-30 crowd, this place did the trick. Drinks were strong but tasty. Ill be back!

Crazy cramped on a friday night, stood in line for over 30 mins.

Drinks were good. We went Sunday night around 9:30, our first bartender wasnt especially attentive, the second was a little better. Food portions are small, and not much effort goes into preparation, its mainly used to facilitate drinking. Plus there are no mirrors in the bathrooms, which was annoying. However, the manager was really cool and engaging!

Went here a couple years back and was an OK spot with OK food

Been here twice in one month. If you like hip hop music this is the place. Theres a few downfalls to this place however. Its small. Some nights are ridiculously packed and its hard to hang out anywhere inside, let alone dance on the dance floor. No specials on drinks. And Guys, if you looking to meet anyone here try another spot. The girls here are very quiet, if you know what I mean.

I have to say they have excellent good. and the cocktails are better than any other place. Thank you for having me and my friends. It was the best birthday weekend . Thank you all

This club sucks the bartender took 30 mins to get a drink

LOVE this joint. Small but its dope none the less. We me and my wife went, they played old school hiphop all night. Drinks are strong and decently priced. We shared some sweet potato fries and they were pretty good. A go to bar when Im in East Village.

Favourite bar in NYC and one of my favourites in the world. Great vibes, food, music and people. Always a good time here, cant not make a Fat Buddha pitt stop whenever Im in NYC. 🙏🏻🎉

It was a very nice good place and pretty too. Everyone was so nice and respectful! Good people and serving and great food and music dj

My friends love this place... but I find it somewhat annoying. I like the bar as it is in the center and lots of room to belly up and order a drink. I do not like the dance floor/music. Too loud with bad speakers leaving the quality of the music mediocre at best.Great duck buns!

Casual vibes, fun late night music, good food! No cover on a Tuesday night. Pretty empty, but nice place to chill. I ordered the hot stone bibimbap. Yum.

Pretty cool spot with good music!

Terrible Pub Crawl experience. Long story short we paid for bands to participate for entries and discounts. My group enjoyed Buddha so much and went to return only to be a charged a cover before the entry band expiration time limit.

Nothing fancy and nothing great--simple spot for young college kids (or just got out of college kids to) who want to unwind. Service was great, drinks are ok at best. Music and ambience were fun. Worth a short visit, if food was great, it wouldve been a better place for sure! Place is a bit childish, but some find it appealing--judging by the crowd, most are youngsters and looking to have fun.

Very good vibe, its all about the vibe. Staff is cool and very friendly. I consider this a must to visit at least one time.

Some of the best happy hour prices in the LES, including on weekends. You can sit for a while and have a pretty chill time as the bar doesnt get too crowded until late. Once the crowds come in though, its generally shoulder to shoulder with the sort of annoying 20somethings I can only hang around when Ive had as much to drink as the rest of the crowd.

Awesome food. fat beats. sweet deals.

I didnt eat here so please take this review with a grain of salt. Consider it only as far as the nightlife goes.Celebrating a friends going party I was asked to quickly find a spot that we could all go to and have no problem getting the group in. I looked at the specs and decided to give a shot to Fat Buddha. Ill tell you right off that bat, that I took one star away because there was a cover charge when so many of the other nearby venues didnt have one. By the time I realized this it was too late as half my group had already gone in before I could guide the other half over. I pulled the second star because the door staff was slightly abrasive in personality. We brought an even (1:1 ratio of males to females) mixed crown of ~20+ people but they seemed as though we were a nuisance for coming over.Admission charge and issues notwithstanding, we had a great time. The music was solid old school urban genres (Hip-Hop, Dancehall/Reggae, Reggaeton, R&B, Pop etc). If youre 25 and older, youll love it. The crowd was good looking. I could tell that the bar area was a little bit of a pick up scene (Beware of the sharks). Its oval shaped and accessible from all sides but congestion still occurs along the sides of the place so be ready to bob and weave a little bit to get a drink.I would recommend the spot but with an admission asterisk. In the future, I hope they relax a little at the door (Especially if one brings 20+ people to them for their patronage).

Like everyone has said get the Pork Buns...Also get something, anything with the Dragon Sauce on it. Its Buffalo Wing sauce with the perfect balance of burn vs. flavor. Otherwise great music, Kirin on tap and great drink specials...You can sit at the bar in the round or at one of the tables towards the back..Suited for larger as well as small groups and doesnt get to loud to hold a conversation.

I was in NYC on holiday from the UK, and was told that this was the place to come to for a night of real hip hop. The place talks the talk, with an exterior that showcases some of the best LPs from the 90s. Even asked the guys on the door whether they play this kinda music and they all said yes. Step inside, and it was the generic crappy, meaningless hip pop found in every club. My advice: quit trying to act real.

I adore this place. Always a great time and every friend I met there seemed to like it as well. Food is on point. Good times.

Drinks are good. Food is ok, especially if youre been drinking. Neat spot.

Great place and fun place to dance!

Great bar with a good hip hop vibe. Fun bartenders and a lively crowd round out the deal. The bar food is damn good and Korean, so get you buns and your bibimbop.

Great ambiance, food, drinks, and music. Great customer service.Everyime Im in NYC. Fat Buddha is where I go.

They play some great music, and its not bougie or stuck up at all. The only issue I have is that it gets SO packed and sweaty. Like youre rubbing sticky elbows with everyone, and I mean everyone.

Cheap drinks during happy hour. 90s hip hop. Nice Asian fusion tapas.

Good place to dance to hip hop

Trendy spot with a cool atmosphere and nice bartenders who dont keep you waiting (even on a busy St.Patricks day)! Great spot for an evening out.

Fat Buddha is small but has great music, anything from the top 40s to throwback songs. The bar area is circular with stools all around, a few tables in the back, but mostly standing/dancing young folks. This is mostly a Korean bar, so if you are looking for diversity, youre not going to find it here. Go early and youll still be able to hear your friend at the bar.

Bouncer didnt like the fact that we didnt tip enough $$$. We told him the server messed up our order but they werent trying to hear it. Its been 5 years and Im Definitely not going back

You need to eat drink and dance here STAT

I can only speak of nightlife, but I had a great experience at the Fat Buddha! The venue is pretty small and fills up SUPER quick. And the layout is definitely interesting. When you enter, theres a giant bar smack right in the middle of the establishment with a small dancefloor towards the back with the dj booth up at top. In big crowds, you may find yourself having to push through tight spaces.The music consisted of a lot of Top 40 and Top Hits which was great. Then randomly it transitions to old school hip hop which was an interesting surprise. A lot of 20-30 somethings go here... its a pretty young crowd. Drink prices arent too bad... make sure to check out the happy hour!

Dope hidden gem in the east village/alphabet city. I would return and maybe host an event or two. Saturday happy hour is the cherry on top.

Food is good but their sanitation rating isnt high for some reason. Bartenders were ok, strong drinks, but only a few tables for dinner.

Fun place to hang out. Good company, good music, good food, friendly staff.

Great hip hop spot. Cocktails and music are amazing

When youre looking for the best wings in New York City and also Asian food in general fat Buddha is world-class people come from all over to eat the cuisine and also have nice stiff drinks the staff is completely at your needs at all times and also this place is traditionally hip hop bar which is hard to find these days especially in New York City please stop by fat Buddha and enjoy your night

The place has a great happy hour and the food is surprisingly good. Definitely go here if your main objective is to drink.

Excellent happy hour with great tasting food, my fave is the fried Korean dumplings

The dj is on point with the music and the drinks also.

Really great food. I always get food butterflies in my stomach when I think about it.. :)

Appetizers are really good. Drink specials are a great deal. Great staff

Now this place right here gets BUMPING! its mainly a Korean bar so expect alot of jameson to be poured. when its full it gets crowded AF so also prepare to sweat. the crowd is mainly nice and the body guards make sure to keep the crowd under control.

In there food, music,vibing people cover charge is blah but its an energetic vibe,nice

Great food drinks excellent customer service💕

The cocktails are superb get the Blue Panda (?) drink! And dont forget to eat the ramen bowl too to soak up those cocktails

Good food, music and drinks

Great venue, music was good. I enjoy that the bar is in the center of the venue, meaning youre always pretty close to the drinks so you dont have to go all the way into some corner to order a drink.

They charge guys 10$ at the door and girls 5$. I guess its too keep it classy ( or at least A$ian) .The crowd is 95% Asians ( chinese ?) but the music is what i come for. Great hip hop throw backs and as the night gets later it turns all the way up

One of the best place in NYC to listen real hip hop with top djs!

Good DJ- decent atmosphere- loud but fun on the weekends!

Ive heard good things prior but I couldnt help but think we were discriminated against. I went for a friends birthday on a Saturday night, 10pm. Met up with a group and from the moment we arrived we felt very uneasy. $10 cover at the door, if you arent a NYU blonde. $20 for guys. Being with a mixed group of black and latinos we felt a bit targeted by the bouncers. I was stopped and searched, just to find a pocket sized umbrella. As a female, I dont often experience being stopped to show the inside of my jacket pocket. Also the bouncers suggested to our group that a friend was too drunk and insinuated that he may cause issues, simply because he tripped in the dimly lit, narrow venue. Several bouncers were in close proximity, and kept eyes on us for the remainder of our stay. Upon finally deciding to leave to find a more welcoming place to celebrate, the woman working the coat check gave us a difficult time since one of us lost our ticket. Only after a crude exchange and many of us pleading to the bouncers to please let us leave with our belongings, did she then look inside the jacket pocket to confirm the contents so that we could receive the rather expensive jacket. There was a group photo of us from a photo booth from earlier in the evening.

A ReaL NYC Gem 💎Great DJs🎧Great Vibes !

Super chill, place. Great for Tapas and hip hop music

The cover kills this place, First the facts:-$10 Cover-$8 bud light type beers- Extremely small (the bar is about 80% of the space)- Crowd seams to be a regular of young east village/nyu type.- Good MusicMaybe it was the day i came but this bar was extreamly packed for no one really being inside. if that is confusing its cause thats how this bar made me feel. Due to the island bar there are only a few places to hang out: the narrow sides by the bar, the area in front of the door or the back table area/dace floor. Because of this you feel squeezed.Also the cover, its just silly to pay a cover for this area. there are 5 other bars that are exactly the same that dont charge a cover within site of the bar. they play the same music and have the same crowd. Covers make your bar stagnate as people dont bounce around till they find the right fit for their night.This is a good place if you are going with a party and dont plan on bouncing around but really if you are looking to go to a place like this go to Niagara down at Ave A and 8th Street. its the same with no cover and more room (for the area).

Always a cover on the weekend for a bar....hard pass

This bar is super cool! I came here for my sisters bday and they were so accommodating and all around awesome. The waitress was really nice and attentive, even when part of the party didnt show.The food is good. They move the tables around 10pm to create a dancefloor. Also, free coat check! Woo.The drinks are a bit watered down, but its all good. The barstaff is pretty good though, considering its in the middle of the bar and they have to attend to so many people.The music is awesome with a capital A. They play you regular top 40, but for the most part, is straight hip hop. Im talking old school Biggie, Jay Z, LL Cool J hip hop. So, yeah , I danced my butt off all night! They do charge 5 dollars after 11pm, but its totally worth it.Definitely coming back again soon!

Awesome atmosphere, great food and music. Love the central island bar and the dance floor is spacious. Great spot!

Good music for sure, the crowd is weird though, like.... The emo kids from high school decided to grow up and look less emo but still carry all the baggage.

Super cheap and always a fun time!

Nice place if your under 30.

Amazing steam bun tacos, makes me want to go vegetarian, wings are delicious,,, n the music makes your never want to leave

Great place good music

My favourite spot in New York City love it

Popped 2 bottles.. Service was goody, my squad was Litty, gotta pyts, spot was litty...fendi facts

Great atmosphere and drinks. Def love the music they play.

Good music, decent drinks but way to small for the kind of crowds the let in...if you like some space between you and others, this is not the place to be on a Friday or Saturday night.

Fun bar, kimchi back shots were great!

Great music. Great bar staff.

Terrible management. Been overcharged on my card, noticed on my bank account and they didnt even care. I wouldnt go there!

Its really crowded, but the dj is always spinning good songs.

New setup is for a party atmosphere. Staff is ready to get folks lit.

Great late night hip-hop music, affordable drinks

Hip Hop lives! 80s and 90s mostly

Good food with affordable drinks.

Great food Great bartenders and Great DJs

Good music, good events, and good bartenders

They serve food before 10ish, and the place get crowded/lit around 11ish, and thats on a Friday.

The DJ was great! The service was fast even though the bar was crowded.

I like this place as a restaurant but not so much as a bar. Late night the music tastes gets too mainstream and the crowd becomes a sea of pimped out white people grinding against each other

Great atmosphere and drinks

Super crowded. I am no going to try again during the day, Ive heard the food is good.
