When I first started going to this bar, the staff was really warm and welcoming. Over the next few stays, they became much less friendly and inviting and seemed put off to be serving me at all. I find this trend has continued, years later. The bartender acted absolutely bored and put off by serving me. Drinks are fine, nothing too special, especially at 23 bucks a pop, and you're really there for the views anyway, which are great. Direct line of sight to the Empire State Building. I will say I agree with some of the other reviews that said they were turned away by the highlight room down the street at Moxy, that totally tracks, and despite service not being perfect, you're more likely to have a laid back, relaxed time at cloudM.

Ludlow (aka Soho) House is a lovely private club ensconced in the vicinity of the Lower East Side…read more It opened in 2016 by the owner of the chic English Soho House of London UK. Historically, the 143 year-old building was formerly a gold-leaf factory and high-end funeral parlour. The interior is designed to reflect the gritty, artistic history of the Lower East Side. Upon further exploration, of the club's four stories of rooms, we notice an eclectic mix of vintage pieces mostly salvaged from local vintage and consignment shop finds with unique artwork on display. The plush "Velvet Room" used for private screenings, was inspired by the apartment where Lou Reed and John Cale recorded early music demos, thus "the Velvet Underground" reference. Members are mostly scions of the Arts, Real Estate, and other fortunes. The establishment serves as a quiet escape in the city. The staff are helpful and well versed. As always, Thank you for reading. HRH

We held our wedding reception here on 1 May for around 35 guests. Overall, the venue itself is…read morebeautiful and our guests had a fantastic time, but there were several service and communication issues that left us disappointed. I've broken my review into three parts. Pre-event Before signing the contract, the team was very responsive and happy to answer all of our questions. We were also given a helpful tour of the venue. However, after the contract was signed, communication became noticeably less enthusiastic. We had several conversations about arranging delivery of our wedding cake, and there seemed to be very little flexibility around delivery timing. The venue did agree to cut and serve the cake, which we appreciated. During the event The venue looked fantastic and the cocktails were excellent, our guests absolutely loved them. Unfortunately, several service issues detracted from what was otherwise a wonderful evening. - One of the bathrooms became blocked very early in the event and took quite some time to be addressed. - Our wedding cake was left sitting on a side table, still boxed, for most of the evening. One of our guests had to repeatedly ask staff to unpack it, and it wasn't done until much later. When it came time to serve the cake, there were no staff available to cut it, despite this having been discussed before the event. I actually started cutting the cake myself before a staff member eventually came over to help. - There didn't appear to be a manager on duty to supervise or field questions during the evening. When we enquired during the event about extending the event duration, the staff were unable to respond or direct us to an on-duty manager. Eventually, one of the staff members texted a manager to get an answer. - We experienced problems with the music system including the wifi, which prevented us from reliably playing our own playlist during the reception. - No one informed us when the food was served. It was simply placed in the corner without any announcement, meaning many guests didn't realize it was available. Several guests also commented that the chicken skewers were overcooked and dry. Post-event This is where our experience became most disappointing. During the reception, we requested two separate one-hour extensions. Before the event, we had been told this would likely be possible if guests were still enjoying themselves. On the night, we specifically asked for the all-inclusive cost of each additional hour and were quoted $1,000 per hour, which we agreed to. After the event, we received an invoice showing that the quoted price did not include sales tax, an administration fee, and a mandatory 20% gratuity. This increased the total cost by roughly 37% beyond what we reasonably understood we were agreeing to. Had these additional charges been clearly communicated when we agreed to extend the event, we almost certainly would have chosen to extend for only one hour instead of two. What was even more disappointing was that, while we were actively querying the invoice, the venue charged our credit card anyway. This also meant we incurred an additional credit card surcharge, despite the invoice stating that alternative payment methods were available to avoid the surcharge. After raising these concerns, the manager replied on 12 May and offered to waive the administration fee. We accepted that offer immediately. Since then, we've followed up three separate times over more than two months and have received no response, nor has the fee been refunded. Overall, The Wallflower is a beautiful venue with excellent drinks and plenty of potential. However, weddings are milestone events where communication, follow-through, and professionalism matter just as much as the venue itself. With better attention to detail and more transparent communication, our experience would have been a much more positive one.

The crowd here is more hipster/artist-like, and less bro-ey. The drinks are in line with rooftop bar prices in the city, but the cocktails are actually decent (appreciated they're actually trying to do something different) - I quite liked the tropical negroni, which swapped the gin for coconut infused rum. Not sure if you can walk-in here, but we came in with a reservation on Resy. Also, 5+ stars for the amazing host. He was playing host to multiple huge birthday parties surround the bar that night, but still came to the front to frequently check in with us at the front to chit chat and make us feel welcome. Torn between blowing this place up, vs just keeping it on the DL as my go-to rooftop !

The venue has a cool setup and atmosphere, it's a long space with retro-inspired decor, a lengthy bar, a photo booth, and a few couches toward the front. Throughout there are booth tables and towards the back there's a pool table, plus staircases in both the front and back leading upstairs. The second level has additional booth seating along with more open lounge-style couches and seating areas. The music and overall energy made it feel upbeat and lively, while still being casual and easy to hang out in. The crowd skewed mostly 20s and early 30s, and groups around us were chatting, playing cards, and hanging out with games. There was not much room for dancing while we were there, though it seemed like that could change later into the night. This is a good option for cocktails with a group, especially if you arrive early enough to grab seating or a comfortable standing area. I just had a tequila soda, which was typical NYC pricing just under $20. I would definitely come back for a fun night out or as a place to meet up before continuing the evening elsewhere.

As some of my colleagues were checking in and paying the entrance fee, a female host stated that one of my male colleagues, who is a person of color, was not allowed to enter because of the type of sneakers he was wearing. I politely asked where on the website or in the dress code it stated that those sneakers were not permitted. She avoided answering my question even as I showed her the dress code directly from their website, which did not mention any restriction on that type of sneaker. She then claimed it was at the promoter's discretion, even though the promoter was nowhere in sight. We then asked if the four colleagues who had already paid the entrance fee could receive a refund since our entire group was no longer able to enter together, but we were told "no" because it was a final sale. What made the situation even more disturbing was seeing other men being allowed inside while wearing sneakers. Witnessing that discrimination happen right in front of me was extremely upsetting. I give this place a horrible rating. Racism and discriminatory behavior should never be tolerated in any environment, and I hope this social club takes these concerns seriously and makes meaningful changes moving forward.
