    Such a fun atmosphere!! We sat outside and got drinks in the evening as the sun went down. You can hear the music from inside; this place is so fun. Inside there are tables and standing room with a big screen and lots of people watching March madness. This is also a great place to dance! The service outside was a little slow, but they were pretty busy so it made sense. The drink deals are pretty good - we got a 32 oz shared jar aperol spritz ($50) which was a good amount for 3 people and cheaper than each getting our own. They have good happy hour deals Mon-Thurs. The chips and guac were good too! It was the atmosphere that made this place for me though.

    Why are they 3 star on yelp? The best happy hour in meat packing district! Half off appetizer and $6 draft beer! Also the manager ? Or the serving guy was very polite and friendly. Will definitely be back!

    They had long drink which I was happy about. They need to get the cranberry one. We didn't get food. The service was good. It wasn't that busy for a Thursday night which was surprising. The bathrooms were filthy. I would go back and try some food as well.

    We found common ground with the staff who were all down to earth and friendly while providing excellent service. We ordered the popular shareable with 3 items including the guacamole, quesadilla and hamburger sliders. Compared to other bars, the portion size was quite generous. Happy drinks were a good deal as the drinks kept flowing starting with a glass of rose, beer; followed by a margarita, mixed cocktail and topped off with a pink gin spritz. We enjoyed sitting outside as the weather was beautiful that day and just watched the open tennis tournament as we had a leisurely meal outdoors. Come find common ground and enjoy the low key unpretentious dining experience with excellent food and service in the heart of Chelsea!

    My friend and I came here for a much needed, fun girls night out. I suggest to make reservations, which we did, because this place gets packed. The tables are socially distanced and everyone wore their mask except this one waitress who thankfully wasn't mine. The music was pumping and the service was great. Loved the atmosphere. I do have to say that the clientele was a bit on the younger college age side so my friend and I did feel a little old. We ordered the 64oz margarita. It was really good and a lot of alcohol. We added on casamigos tequila, which we didn't regret. Food wise, we both got tacos. Mine were chicken and hers were veggie. The food was just ok. This place in future will be more for after dinner for me. I love how they have food and drink options for 2+ people. Definitely looked like a great deal. The inside is beautiful and looks very clubby. I like how they kept the doors open, so those indoor dining were semi outdoors. Come here for great drinks and music

    this part in the becoming one of my very very favorites in all of Manhattan! They usually have great events on the calendar if you want to plan ahead. I recommend showing up randomly and seeing what you get yourself into. haha. you are bound to have fun at common grounds! Walking in, feels like you're walking into a fairytale or some thing... then, when it opens up, it is perfectly lit, plenty of staff and servers, and you can usually work out a getting a seat or table somehow... some nights are at capacity (it's nyc meatpacking dist.) and very packed. if you are looking for a bar a little more on the quiet/dead end, this will not be your thing... wish they had more than two bathrooms though...

    Common Ground is my go to spot in the Meatpacking district for amazing cocktails, delicious food, and attentive and friendly service. If you're looking for a great happy hour or late night spot, this is your place!

    Such a cute atmosphere. Jessica was a great server! Would love to come back and see what it's like on weekends when it's more of a club scene since we came on a Monday when it was slow. It was nice they play sports though my bf & brother in law loved that.

    Love all the plants hanging from the trees. Service is top notch and passion fruit margarita is amazing
    Miranda S.

    Great service and great drinks!! Thank you to Jessica! Get the passion fruit margarita. We didn't eat here but the chicken wings smelled so good. The music and vibes are incredible. Will def stay in Chelsea next time I come to nyc to experience bars just like this

    It has been 17 years since my last review of the Living Room Bar, and I am not sure that I have…read moreeven been there since. However, they recently revamped the space, updating the decor to ensure that the W Hotel remains at the forefront of modernity. The small, linear bar was moved from one side of the room into the center and was now a larger, semi-circle to make it easier to converse with neighboring imbibers. The space maintained its lounge feel, with couches and comfortable chairs scattered around the bar. A main change was that, instead of the Living Room being visible to anyone that walked into the hotel lobby, it was now hidden behind a translucent wall of lights, only visible to those that entered. That change enabled the bar to be more exclusive, or "discreet", as we heard someone mention at the bar, haha. The place was reasonably crowded on the Friday evening, and we grabbed seats at the bar in order to be more social. To that end, we had some interesting conversations with both locals and hotel guest. Also, our bartender, Jose, was excellent! He was engaging to speak with and also crafted fantastic cocktails. The Espresso Martini he made for me had a very robust coffee flavor and just the perfect hint of sweetness; it was definitely up there on my list of top espresso cocktails. The bar had a list of really creative and unique drinks, and I had initially wanted to try the Kyoto Bridge with Haku vodka, sake, ceremonial matcha, and yuzu, but Jose had told me that he did not have the necessary sake for it. However, he assembled my martini with such perfection that I did not mind having a more basic drink on that visit; I could always go back to try the Kyoto Bridge and certainly will after such an enjoyable experience!

    Great service and vibe. Enjoyed the bartender making great drinks and friendly demeanor.read more

There was only one other family dining, and the space stayed empty the entire time. The service was genuinely great. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere, and a really cute, cozy space. I especially loved the Christmas décor and overall vibe--it felt warm and inviting. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the prices. The house salad was $13 and honestly one of the most basic, smallest, and most boring salads I've ever had--very underwhelming for the cost. We also ordered quesadillas, a cheeseburger with fries, and grilled cheese with tomato soup. My son enjoyed the burger and fries, and the quesadillas were flavorful, generously filled with chicken and veggies, and came with sour cream, pico, and guac. The tomato soup was tasty, while the grilled cheese was just okay. One small but appreciated detail: canned soda. Cold, crisp, and not flat which is always a win. Lunch for 3 came in just under $100, which felt high given what we received. One frustration was being seated in a tight corner right next to the kitchen even though the dining room was completely empty. We were so close I could literally see into the kitchen and count items on the shelves. On top of that, the hostess repeatedly walked by calling out "corner," which became distracting and honestly a bit irritating. Overall, I liked the vibe, but the food-to-price ratio missed the mark for me. It wasn't bad--just alright.
