It is basement level and just a black unmarked door opens to the staircase leading down, that has clear signage. It definitely is like stepping back in time and there's no Wi-Fi service so guests are enjoying the live music or socializing! We ordered pretty quickly at the bar, we were not offered menus so I'm not sure what their signature cocktails are. Ordered a martini requested fruity, I believe it was raspberry not sure and a dark red for my friend. We sat in some cozy velvet purple chairs in the lounge area enjoying live Jazz music. My friend recalls this was a downstairs dining area for Burger King in the 80's-early 90's. The bar and Bath Room could be a bit tidier, but otherwise fun retro vibe. There is an historical piston machine on display that was used to run the building's original elevator utilizing steam! And now serves as decor and remanence of past decades.

Unlike many other lounges, this one isn't too crowded and has a very laid back yet upscale feel to it.

There's also a nice bar area with a few seats, which I appreciated--an upgrade compared to the BOS lounge that doesn't offer bar seating (even though that space is larger).

I will admit its been several years (maybe a decade) since I was there last , and ai know things change but Ive only had 1 negative experience there and it was MY FAULT not the establishment. I don't know if its changed hands since then but I used to know the owners, and they were very cordial and welcoming ever single time regardless of the amount of patrons or event. Ive had some of the best times of my life when I was younger at this place. I wish I had a picture of one of these "best times" but all I can say is One was called "Bubble Halloween " (several of these actually) and the other was called "Welcome to Bat Country" by GetBent! Ive seen the place back when the doors were by the outdoor patio and others when they had a lounge in the back which was the front door last time I went. Im not sure what its become but I can say it was THE PLACE for electronic music with the BEST DJ's in Upstate New York. So many fond memories of mine happened in there. Lol. I miss those times.

We hadn't even had the original hookah for 5min. The DJ was awesome. The crowd was pleasant. It's a great place if you want to enjoy hookah and a live DJ.

So, the backroom might have been a bit better suited for us olds, we were ushered into the front room. Not the window, but pretty darn close. Again, fun for people watching, inside and out. But damn it kids, if you have a DJ, I want to talk to Sir Vibes A Lot and ask them how they think thumping house music actually aids in digestion? Maybe I unconsciously started chewing to the unrelenting 4/4 beat, anything's possible. Now onto the menu, and back to the identity crisis. Like a lot of places, the York has a broad spectrum of offerings. Burger. Nashville Hot. Multiple pasta options. Sure, sure, sure. The porkchop with kimchi fried rice was the clear winner, hands down. The chicken, mashed and greens took second place (but I'll give ya a pro tip chef: the longer you cook your greens, the better they are). The salmon was a distant third because everything bagel seasoning is a lot after a while, and the veg was uninspired. Our TL:DR recommendation is come for cocktails and poutine. The poutine satisfied by itself. Our server was great- thanks, Destiny!

He then got very aggressive and started screaming I needed to "get the f**k out". After I said some choice words which I understand didn't help the situation, I turned around to leave and he pushed me from behind. When I say this, please understand I'm saying with my whole chest...he is lucky I didn't turn and knock his teeth out. It is absolutely unacceptable to get physical with someone ESPECIALLY as they TURN AROUND TO LEAVE! That employee should be fired and he is lucky I don't press charges for assault.

RESPONSE to Owner: Then it is best to change all your Misguiding information on your website and Facebook pages. How doe one "SOCIALIZE" with people and "LOUNGE" around doing so as in your own descriptions on your website and Social Media? How can you charge people that don't show on a ticket for a table set-up on your minimum purchase, when those that did attend went way beyond the minimum purchase on those that attended INCLUDING the ticket that was a NO SHOW?

Some nights you'll get bangers, other nights you'll be questioning the DJ's entire playlist. The Bad :( * No Apple Pay. A tragedy, honestly. I lose things easily, so forcing me to keep track of a physical card in a dark, crowded club is a recipe for disaster. It's 2025 -- let me tap my phone and move on with my night. * Bathroom Situation: Three stalls for an entire club's worth of people. Enough said.
