Subrosa

I really liked this place but the staff wasn't that great. Typical lounge/bar staff. But I will say that The Meatpacking District mostly offers clubs and house music so it's nice to see another variety.

The ambience inside is perfect- dim and sexy, not too dark. There are couches along the front entrance and tables all around the stage. Tables have a $20 minimum which seems very reasonable and there's plenty of standing room in front of the stage.

Bartenders didn't seem too crowded so it wasn't hard to get a drink, which was nice. The only thing is that they weren't consistent on pricing. That always rubs me wrong when one bartender charges you one thing and the next charges you another. It made me not want to buy another drink.

I got there pretty early in the night so I'm sure it gets much busier, but there was only one person at the door, checking people in and doing coat check at the same time. She didn't multi task or communicate very well so there would be a huge crowd waiting to check coats or waiting to come in and made it a little confusing. It's all about a little hustle in those moments, and she didn't seem to have any of that.

I like the place and the set up is great but the staff needs to pull it together a little tighter.

super fun spot for live latin music in the meatpacking. not much space for dancing but somehow people make it happen.

Wow this a wonderful classy lounge to relax and to enjoy to the fullest whether you are alone or with a CREW!! LOL SUCH A GREAT NITE WITH THE LATIN BAND 8 YMAS!!. I'LL BE STALKING THIS PLACE FOR SURE.

Subrosa has a really nice decor. The first impression is great. You go down a flight of stairs leading to the bar and there's couches on the side away from the loud music for people who wants to be secluded from the party. It gives the opportunity to make things personal and converse with your peers without having to yell over the music. The drinks are competitive with all the bars in the meat packing district at $15. (Pregaming suggested). The crowd is dominantly older in the range between the late 20's to people in their late 30's. They played dance music leaning more towards funk and there was a live hip hop performer.

It was my first time at this place and it was a nice experience. Though they have a slow service and food/beverages are expensive. They have a policy of $20 minimum per person and a 18% gratuity is included on your check (which are Ok for me). Food is not worth it. I enjoyed the music and performances, they are so captivating. It's a good place for socializing.
