Sweet and Vicious

Bar / Beer Garden / Lounge

Party Earth Review The sparse black exterior of Nolita’s Sweet and Vicious may seem unwelcoming at first, but once patrons walk through the double wood doors, they find themselves in a hip yet unpretentious bar where schmoozing with the regulars is the order of the day. The rustic plank floors in this dark lounge vibrate with incredibly loud ... more

White Noise

Club / Dive Bar / Lounge

Party Earth Review The brainchild of two childhood friends bent on creating the perfect rock club, White Noise mixes a chill dirty dive attitude with satanic decadence to form a Molotov cocktail of rock-and-roll spirit that’s sadly lacking in the downtown club scene. A staircase bathed in red light leads to a red-lit room hung in black and ... more

NYC Lounges Overview

Sweet and Vicious - Bar | Beer Garden | Lounge in NYC

With thousands upon thousands of nightlife destinations packed inside its boundaries, New York is home to a lifetime of drinking dens, and that certainly holds true when thinking about all the lounges in New York.

There’s a NYC lounge out there for everyone, whether they’re looking to get gussied up and hang with big money makers or throw on a ragged t-shirt and chill on a sofa that hasn’t been cleaned since New York was called New Amsterdam. And the great thing about New York is its physical makeup promises all manner of lounge in almost every neighborhood.

The swanky Meatpacking District, known the world over for its see-and-be-seen air, is home to lounges where the brand of shoes you’re wearing may be as equally important as the number of zeroes in your bank statement. The glitz is equally prevalent in Chelsea and Nolita, where finance gurus and socialites hide from the common man and lounge about in style before hitting the clubs.

A grittier concentration of NYC lounges is undoubtedly in Brooklyn – home to the most prevalent DIY scene – while student-friendly dive lounges are also easy to find in Murray Hill and hipster heavy Greenwich Village.

Finding a NYC lounge will not be difficult, and if the first one you find doesn’t entice, a hundred more New York lounges are probably minutes away.
