Latitude Bar & Lounge

HORRIBLE! Was fun until I was told that my card was declined. Fine, no big deal. I throw down another card and pay for the evening. Get home to reconcile my charges from the day only to go online and find out that my card was indeed charged and for a different amount than my second card. I called three times between 6 PM and 10 PM to only a voice mail and politely asked for someone to call me back or to reverse the charges. I STILL HAVE HEARD FROM NO ONE! A wonderful experience ruined by carelessly being charged twice. I urge no one to attend if you want trust worthy customer service.

Came across this place by our hotel and it was a great atmosphere and not too pricey. Had three floors with music and wasn’t too crowded but had a good amount of people. Recommend for a chill relaxing night drinking with friends.

Latitude has a happy hour that is hard to beat. I can’t think of anywhere in the country that has such extended happy hour times that also sells $ 5 martinis.
It has become a go-​to spot for me and my mom, me and my husband, me and my friends… you get the point.
While I know I can expect a strong and cheap martini, I’ve also learned the service has been spotty and the food is just average. I know to come during happy hour and avoid eating for the best possible experience. My rating would absolutely be lower if food, full prices and late night crowds were factored in.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they added lychee and pomegranate martinis to the happy hour list. They also have a trendy little rooftop for summertime outdoor drinking.
While Latitude is never a final destination spot for me, but it’s so great to have a go-​to for inexpensive martinis in NYC.

It’s very good for groups. loud music and good food. they also have pool table upstairs. I would recommend upper area is better. they also have rooftop bar which is open in summer.
This place has a coat checking at basement, which no one told us until we found out ourselves. taking 2 stars for food. they could have better offering in food. also waitress charged us regular price during Happy hours which is weird…

I don’t think I hated it here, but, I definitely didn’t love it here.
The happy hour is awesome; the $ 5 margarita is a strong one! But, otherwise, I’m still just a little confused by my experience.
There were a whole bunch of events going on (on a Tuesday night?) so the area for walk-​ins was a bit crowded. There also wasn’t a hostess to seat for table seating, so I had to awkwardly linger until my friend arrived & we could figure it out together.
Music is loud, which is fine if you want to party… but, it’s a Tuesday, so I’ll pretend to be in my late 20’s now. My friend & I had to scream at each other.
The service was pretty slow, but the veggie burger was good.
See what I mean? An all-​in-​all «meh» experience. With all of the competition in this area, I’ll probably try the others before I come back.

It’s a huge bar midtown, nothing special about it but it does the trick for Farwell or holidays party.
I was thinking about a reason to give 4 stars but I could not after 10 seconds so I gave up and kept 3 stars.
Don’t get me wrong, you should check it out, it is just not the amazing place you will be going back again and again.

The décor is beautiful, the cocktails are pretty good, the food is just okay, the location «is what it is», and the beer selection is a big thumbs down.
The place is beautiful; they have two floors and a rooftop. The main floor has a large bar and a small searing area in the back. The second floor has two separate areas that can capable of holding dual private events, plus they have a rooftop lounge.
I must say the happy hour $ 5 cocktail selection are pretty good, but most of the cocktails are girly drinks like like cosmos and appletinis, which are way too sweet for my taste. I did however, partake in a couple of those $ 5 margaritas.
I was here for a charity event and had arrived early, so I ordered some food. Nothing really stood out on the menu, so I ordered a burger. The burger was of chain resturant quality not bad, but not good; just okay.
The beer selection was a disappoint. I asked the bar tender what kind of craft beer they they had a she said, «Craft beer… um… we have bottles of Magic Hat and… um… I think a toasted lager from Great Lakes brewery.»
So, only two generic craft beers… great. (Yes, there is such a thing as generic craft beer).
Overall it’s a beautiful place for cocktails, but of you want food and craft beer, go somewhere else.

Happy hour cocktails at $ 5 is solid but only Coors and Bud pisswater pints for $ 4 is kind of sad.
Large bar and lounge located right in the Tourist Central area of NYC! Yay!
Multiple floors and we recently reserved a spot on the upstairs level for our Cupid’s Undie Run fundraiser. Bar up there with some seating and tables. Bartenders where kinda slow and looked totally disinterested. Guess they weren’t too thrilled about serving us and the group of button down shirt techie-​nerd bro’s that were also inhabiting the space.
Also, to me the tap beer tasted a bit nasty, as if the beer tap lines had not been cleaned in a while. Or, that could also have been due to the fact that I had to drink crappy beer for happy hour. Oh, and the nachos we ordered were a horrible soggy mess.
It is a pretty sleek looking spot with nice décor and clean bathrooms. The rooftop bar is also a plus for those looking to party outdoors during nice weather. Still, the location tho…
Well, at least now I know where all the douche-​bros congregate at in the Times Square area!

Last night was my third time at Latitude Bar & Lounge. At this point it pretty much one of my favorite bars in NYC.
The first time I was here was a Saturday night in June 2014. The music was great, the crowd was super-​chill, and the drinks were excellent. My friends and I were dancing by the bar while people around us were hanging out and talking, and it was all totally cool.
The second time was my first time trying the weekday happy hour. Great prices on cocktails, I’m not a beer-​drinker so I didn’t mind the lack of choices there. But even their regular prices on beer aren’t really high, so it was still a solid happy hour spot for me.
And finally, last night, the biggest challenge of all because this involved a group reservation for a charity fundraiser event — from start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. The management was very accommodating right from my phone call the day before to inform/​ask permission for the event, and when we got there the manager himself came out to greet us and direct us UPSTAIRS, where we had our own private set-​up! It was pretty excellent. It was a great, fun atmosphere and our whole group was into it. The drinks were great (I highly recommend the strawberry basil martini), the food was tasty (we had the hummus platter, two orders of nachos, edamame and quesadillas), and the service was friendly and quick. We had such a good time, I’m really glad I chose Latitude for the first fundraiser of our Cupid Undie Run team to benefit the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Great to have an option that’s good for events, happy hour AND dancing.

I’ve been to Latitude more times than I’d care to admit.
Why? Everyone and their mom hosts events here, and usually at the same time. This is one huge venue — especially by Manhattan standards! — with several floors and a rooftop deck. Due to their popularity, this bar gets packed. I’m not a fan of absurd crowds[1], and they’ve got the absurd here.
Even though there’s a slight fratty meat market vibe inside, Latitude avoids being pretentious. Bouncers aren’t douches. Hand a bartender your credit card and randomly point behind the bar. They’ll cheerfully get you wasted. For your sake, let’s hope it’s happy hour.
[1] Yes, I know I live in New York.

When a girl is celebrating her 30^th birthday with a pretty big social circle all tentatively RSVP-​ed, you need several things: good food, happy hour deals, and plenty of space. Latitude Bar has all these things that are all heavily coveted in the city that never sleeps.
Being the planner that my friend is, she called the bar ahead of time to inform them that she would be housing a party of 12 – 15 people, and they hooked her up with a reserved table on the second floor, right next to the window with the street view. The table was perfect honestly, and was strategically placed perfectly between the bar and several sports TVs. Although bar stools are hard to come by, we at least got four stools for the table, and as people got up, we grabbed more tables and more seats. Very civilized.
The music and atmosphere of the place was very classy and set the festive mood. After a round of happy hour drinks for five people, two appetizers, and two entrees, my bill came to $ 112. Honestly, not a bad deal! The mild hot wings paired with the mini sliders was great, but their steak sandwich was the favorite of the night, with a healthy side of fries. I convinced a few people to get the steak and they were happy they did. Our waitress was on point, and she made an appoint to ask me when people were ordering drinks or food if they should or shouldn’t be charged to my card. Anyone can appreciate that!
One star was removed because we did have to wait a while for our food. I understand it’s Friday, but waiting close to 45 minutes was a little shocking. However, it still wouldn’t stop me from coming back again. Great night out!

I’ve been here twice, but not in quick succession mind you. No… about four years separate my initial visit to this joint and my most recent appearance here. So much has happened during that time, inner growth, loss, weight/​muscle mass fluctuations, professional and academic victories, personal defeats/​broken hearts… alas, perhaps this bar has experienced some apparent changes for the better (or at least some cosmetic ones… such as the pretty bartender from my first visit now wearing glasses to show that time has passed).
From what I could gather though, not so much change. Still super sleek and stylish, with no shortage of dim atmospheric lighting, loud music, and the way-​too-​sloppy for a Wednesday patrons at the bar. Basically, the cookie cutter and garish package you could expect from a joint with such close proximity to the Crossroads of the World (Times Square).
Also, the bar tendress (pretty lady, albeit probably a smoker who could stand to gain a few pounds) put a lemon in my gin and tonic. For future reference, I only accept lime or cucumber.

I don’t mind this place. Good food & drink specials. Drinks are super strong. The bartenders are super friendly and efficient.
BUT, the clientele here are question marks in true form, hence why I’ve only been here twice. Both times, at least one super sloppy drunk is present. Among many other travesties that have occurred here…
*side glance & sigh*
Tread lightly when meeting people here cause… you aren’t far from the zoo (zoo = Times Square)
So, come with a friend please. For safe keeping.
The music is great here & there are many TV’s to watch sports on.
That’s all.

Went to grab a few drinks on a Sunday night. The bar was not crowded and my friend and I were easily able to find two stools. We were met with inattentive bar staff who finally deigned to take our order. When we went to settle the check, the bartender conveniently «forgot» to charge us the special football game prices and we had to remind her and have the bill changed.
The overall experience left an unpleasant taste in my mouth, as I am quite sure she knew she was overcharging us and just seeing if we were dumb enough to pay. Even for a Times Square area bar, this was bad. The tap selection was decent but not good enough to get me to return here.

What a great way to enjoy the end of the summer with some drinks in a NYC rooftop; well let’s call it a semi-​rooftop since it’s between 2 buildings on the third floor. Happy hour consist of $ 5 drinks, lychee martini please! and $ 4 bud and bud lights, thank you Veronica for taking care of our party, she made sure our drinks were always half way full. The second floor doesn’t open until 6pm and it gets packed by 9pm, DJ is spinning the best top 40 along with some old-​school beats.
Food:
One of the best bar food that I’ve had in a while.
Steak quesadilla was over the top, it was well seasoned and it didn’t even need the sour cream of how good it was.
Black truffle fries with a dip, went well with the quesadilla and good enough to eat alone.
Fried Mac & Cheese, never thought that mac & cheese can get any better than this, deep fried all around and shaped like a sandwich with a delicious cheese dip.

Not my favorite. It’s near Times Square, so the ambience outside is a bit hectic. You come inside and go up a flight of stairs to find a rather dark room. I’m sure it’s some people’s cup of tea, but not really mine. There is an awkward semi-​open space with some tables that say «reserved» but no one’s in sight… yet. The bar area was not to crowded when I was there around 11pm on a Saturday night. Drinks were definitely strong though. Crowd was… overall strange.
In any case, had some shots and a vodka redbull before really beginning my night out in Hell’s Kitchen.

Latitude is by far one of my favorite places to go in Manhattan! I’ve been coming here for about 2 years now. I originally looked into it as an option for a place to celebrate my birthday but this is a great place for any occasion. I always say I’d be more of a regular if I lived in the area.
They have a list of $ 5 and $ 4 happy hour specials. The drinks are strong and the food is amazing! The lychee martinis and the cosmos are fantastic! I don’t drink much else when I come here. I’ve never ordered any food here that I didn’t like. The Philly cheesesteak spring rolls and the fries with three dipping sauces are my go to items to snack on. The cheesecake is pretty good as well as far as desserts go.
I’ve seen the place get pretty crowded on weekend nights. Like wall to wall crowded; however at other times for instance during the day it’s much more mellow. I feel like this place draws in a pretty mixed crowd as far as tourists and locals. It’s also a great place to watch any sports games. There are several televisions for your viewing pleasure. The music is always good and adds to the trendy yet laid back atmosphere. There’s also a rooftop area open in the summer. Unfortunately I haven’t been up on the rooftop yet but it is on my to do list.
Service can be somewhat spotty and inconsistent but I totally feel that the drinks and food are definitely worth it every time!

I’ve been coming here for years! Why? Simple.
Easy westside location /​Close to all trains.
View of FDNY across the street
Lots of food options in the area and yes they have food too.
Mixed crowd of locals, suit/​ties and tourists
Friendly staff and most importantly…
A KICK AS$ happy hour with STRONG drinks.
DJ/​flatscreens/​rooftop bar/​lounge is a plus.
It’s four levels not including bathroom level below. You can rent the space out. I had a 3hr cocktail event for my mom’s bday– open bar and had GREAT SERVICE!
I’ll be back– again and again!
Lotsa steps to get to the roof so be patient!

Finding a good rooftop in midtown isn’t the easiest task in the world, and rooftops with good happy hour deals are essentially non-​existant.
I organized a happy hour for my work colleagues. Our office is a few blocks away, and according to pictures this had a nice roof and cheap drinks.
I was not disappointed. The drinks are strong for only $ 5 (I stuck with the margaritas) and they also had bud, bud light and coors light for $ 4 until 8:00. My friend got the pomegranate fizz which was champagne with pomegrante juice which looks delicious.
The rooftop was SUPER crowded, but I guess every rooftop is going to be for the next 4 months especially after the arctic tundra we just experienced. Not the BEST rooftop I’ve ever been on, but I don’t think there are any better ones in the area and there definitely aren’t any that have $ 4 beers.
Overall — this is a great spot for an after-​work gathering as it is convenient to midtown offices and inexpensive. I would definitely consider organizing another work event here.

Drinks in New York are expensive, but NOT here during happy hour! Don’t let the prices fool you because they are strong and get you feeling nice!

This place is spacious with 3 floors of entertainment. They have a roof deck, a pool table, live DJ, a fireplace, full menu, and tons of TV’s. Bouncers check your ID at the front door and there’s complimentary coat check as well. Only down side to this lounge is the abundance of stairs in the place. What if you were drunk or handicapped? How are you going to navigate around?
I really enjoyed my time at this bar, I was looking forward to playing pool, but unfortunately, there was only 1 table which was reserved for a group. The place was packed and poppin’ with different age groups. Your bound to have a good time here with a few people or a large group, just keep an eye out for those stairs.

Prés de time square, bon son (varié club & hip hop du moment), staff sympa. Prix raisonnables.

Un ptit bar sympa avec une bonne ambiance et des cocktails varies, pas tres loin de Time Square et en peu en dehors des zones a touristes ;-).
