Inside
Simone E.

Been to Las' Lap twice within the past couple of months. The first time was in December and the second time was Valentine's Day weekend with my best friend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a smaller space with two floors, and it can definitely be hard to find a seat. The decor reminds me of being on an island but still has a rustic feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not the best at describing design, but that's the closest I can get. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though it's small, I actually like that because it makes the space feel more intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music is a mix of hip hop, R&B, reggae, and Afrobeats depending on the night. Both times I went, the DJs were good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The crowd both times felt more 27+, which I appreciated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service can be a bit slow at times. From what I've seen, there are usually only about two bartenders handling the entire space. When it gets packed, it can definitely take a while to get your drink, which can be frustrating. Just something to keep in mind if you're going on a busy night. Now the drinks. I'll be honest, they are hit or miss and can get very pricey, which I understand comes with the location. In December I ordered the Christmas Sidecar for $18 and wasn't really a fan, so I switched to a Hennessy Sidecar for $26. That one was very good, but for the price I did not feel like the liquor to cost ratio fully matched. Valentine's Day weekend is where things got interesting. My friend and I initially ordered a Don Julio Reposado margarita and a regular margarita. When the bartender rang it up, the total was about $77. We were honestly shocked. I asked why, and he explained it was because of the top shelf liquor. I switched it to two regular margaritas and the total came to $46.40. That is about a $30 difference for one drink, which felt excessive. The margaritas were decent. We eventually switched to rum punches at $18 each, which we both preferred, even though they are still on the pricier side. Now the food. The Jerk Chicken egg rolls are really the star. I highly recommend them. The seasoning is great and the sauces they pair with it really bring everything together. If you are expecting large chunks of chicken inside, this might not be what you're looking for, but flavor wise they deliver. The last time I ordered them to go, the presentation looked a little thrown together, but the taste was still there. Overall I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. I would go back now that I know what to order. I enjoy the vibe, the music, and those jerk chicken egg rolls really are that good. Just be prepared to spend, especially if you prefer specific or top shelf liquor.

Chicken Sweet Chili Wings
Brooke K.

We arrived Saturday at 8:15 PM definitely make a reservation since all tables were booked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music was a vibe, and the drinks were strong.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. We started with the sweet chili chicken wings which were flavorful with a great balance. Both of us had the oxtail, which was good, but the rice was a bit dry, and the plantains were very dry. The drinks were strong and tasty, though I don't recall their names. [[HIGHLIGHT]]By 10 PM, it gets packed, so come earlier for a more relaxed vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, a good experience!

I've been here quite a few times and [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a sexy, chic hidden gem giving little Havana vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Depending on the day of the week it could be at capacity or a chill low key night but the guys at the door are always friendly and professional[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Even when the place has been crowded I was still able to get a drink within 5-7 min. Bartender was spicy with a great smile and he got the job done, making an excellent tequila espresso martini (my fav) consistently every time I've come. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes were super friendly with a mature crowd, a girl across the bar sent me shots.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music was diverse.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Have & Will return ! (PS. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once in a while upstairs you'll bump into some high end people[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]])

Jerk chicken, oxtail, codfish fritters, and jerk chicken eggrolls
Fabian D.

I stopped by Las' Lap after work on a Thursday after hearing good things about it. My friend and I tried the jerk chicken egg rolls and the codfish fritters for our starters. If I had to choose between these two options, the codfish fritters would be my pick. For the big tings, we got the jerk chicken and the oxtail. Both of these were amazing, and the sides they came with were tasty. The service was good. The waitress recommended drinks and answered all our questions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was great. Dim lighting with great music made it feel very intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would say take advantage of happy hour if you want to visit, but I've already recommended this place to multiple people since my visit. I will be returning!

Sorrel Mule

Absolute vibes. For all occasions you wanna to go to the late night spot with all the vibes but dont want to be where all the 24 years are on a sweaty dance floor. This is your spot - mature energy, good aesthetics, wonderfully curated cocktails, and awesome staff. Can't attest for the food, I never had it. Friday and Saturday it is buzzing. Best to go as pregame spot (8-9ish pm) or set up shop at 10:30pm at bar and stay all night. Only issue it is very tight in there. tight standing room. Also the number one worse part is the inconsistent cover charges in the front during late nights. That's annoying.

I've been to Las Lap many times over the years, on different days and different times and I've always enjoyed myself. I've come here for private birthday parties in the loft space, dropped by for brunch and more recently stopped by during the week day for happy hour. While the main floor is pretty small, we were lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar on a Wednesday evening. The cocktails we ordered were great and the music was exactly what I was hoping to hear (Reggae, Reggaeton, Soca etc) which put me in an upbeat mood to enjoy a rather mellow happy hour. Just be mindful since the space isn't very big, I'm guessing it' can get pretty packed on the weekends so probably not the best choice if you're rolling with a big group. But otherwise, good vibes all around!

Don't walk; run to Las' Lap. I promise you, you are in for a real treat. This review might be the first max stars I've written in the new year. Las' Lap deserves all the acclaim and praise they have received. I noticed that some reviewers have complained about the music being loud. I'm afraid I have to disagree but to each their own. Las' Lap is at the top of the class when it comes to everything. The staff, food, decor, and ambiance were everything. The vibe is so chill and sexy. The bubbly and sweet hostess CeCe and the entire staff hit all their marks to ensure every guest has an unforgettable experience. I can't say it enough, Las' Lap is elegant and serves classiness. Many people have mentioned the drinks, and I concur. I  had two drinks, both potent flavorful, and prepared with excellence. As I said, the food was filled with Caribbean goodness.  So, what are you waiting for? Get to running but make a reservation because this joint is jumpin'.

Jerk Chicken Eggrolls
Vincent W.

Apparently Michael B. Jordan is owner or partner of this speak easy type of lounge bar. Went randomly with a group of associates and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like the petite romantic aesthetic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar tenders, music, and some of the food were great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bar tenders were friendly and attentive. They made delicious drinks and you get the alcohol for the price of drinks. I don't drink but ordered the moss mango ginger juice. My associates ordered coconut cocktail and nespresso martini which was strong. Also ordered a strawberry cocktail that was sweet but heavy alcohol which is a good thing. The food was decent but can be spicy. Petite Caribbean late night menu but we ordered veggie Pattie's and jerk chicken egg rolls which was the star choice. The jerk rolls come with a sweet spicy and jerk bbq sauce. The veggie Pattie's were spicy, but still needed flavor so we used the jerk rolls dip. I hope they change the recipe of the veggie patty, they seasoned it with just spices, couldn't taste the food and the breading wasn't flaky like traditional cooking. Least favorite item. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All and all, this romantic dim lounge can get crowded but it's a great date, group meet up spot late night in lower Manhattan.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The music is mostly 90s and 2000s rnb soul but a sight dance vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely give this diverse lounge a try and wc are located under the stairs in rear and menu is available by QR code on bar or tables. 21+ individuals only.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

The highlights for me were the wild mushrooms & rice cakes as well as the Caesar salad - loved the use of nori in the salad and would definitely come back for the mushrooms. The chicken cutlet and chicken dumplings were fine but I probably wouldn't order them again. The wait staff weren't super attentive nor super warm, but they were efficient when we asked for water refills, etc. There was ample standing room at the bar while we waited for our friends, but the table/booth that we sat at was super narrow, I was knocking knees with my friend all night and generally felt squished.

Attaboy absolutely lives up to the hype…read more From the moment we sat down, we knew we were in for something special. Our bartender, Zack, was phenomenal. Calling him a bartender almost feels like an understatement--he's a true cocktail craftsman. I was amazed watching him create drinks based simply on a few words or flavors we mentioned. It felt less like ordering a cocktail and more like collaborating on one. Of course, he also nailed the classics. The Clover Club and Gimlet were both perfectly executed, and my husband tried three different whiskey cocktails throughout the evening and loved every single one. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope for from a speakeasy: dark, intimate, and unassuming. The space is small, which adds to the experience, although the bar stools are definitely not designed for settling in for a three-hour hang (my only minor complaint). But honestly, that probably helps keep the experience moving and allows more people to enjoy this special spot. Attaboy is a great example of why NYC has such a legendary cocktail scene. The drinks, the craftsmanship, and the personal attention make it clear why this place gets so much attention. We'll absolutely be back.

The concept is simple: tell the bartenders what type of liquor and flavors you enjoy, and they create a custom cocktail just for you. I think it helps to go in with a few ideas, but if you give them some creative freedom, they can really surprise you. I honestly cannot remember all the ingredients in my drinks, but I do remember loving every sip. Such a unique spot and a fun experience. Definitely small inside so you may have to wait awhile. I only wish I lived closer!
