We went in because we heard loud singing from the karaoke night inside. I had always walked by it…read morebefore without noticing, but this time it really caught my attention. It's a quaint little bar that hosts different DJs and Karaoke Nights. People were very lively, and all the songs were pretty popular. The drinks themselves were amazing. We got the Mermaid, one of their signatures, but replaced the rum with vodka, and it was genuinely so good. It tasted sweet and paired well with the salt rim. We had a couple of other drinks, such as a Strawberry Mojito, but I can't exactly remember the names of the other drinks, since they made them based on the flavors we wanted. They were extremely well-made drinks, though. The only side note is that the bathroom is a little questionable since it's two toilets in one bathroom, but, nonetheless, Chowk is still a vibe. It can get a little tight if there are a lot of people, since it's a small spot, but the drinks and vibes are worth going in for.

Loved this place and will continue to come back every Saturday…read more I came here specifically to listen to jazz. Every Saturday night, they host a jazz night, starting at 8pm. I love jazz and thought I should stop by and see if it's any good. I was so surprised at how great it was. Going to Chowk, you'll first notice a few things. It feels a bit gimmicky. It's partially the decor, partially the plant wall thing, partially the neon sign. The entire place is set up in a way so that every pic you might post on social media would look great. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it's a vibe. The shape of the place makes it feel a bit like a railroad apt. Bar is on the right as you come in, with a couch set up between the windows and the bar. On the left is long wall seating. Small tables as well with stools on the other side. At the far end is a good size stage with a jumbo screen behind it. I looked at their cocktail menu and decided to get a "My Name Is." It was delicious and it's the only cocktail I've gotten on the three visits there. It's a Nepali bar and I've also had one of their Nepali beers which was also good. In regard to the jazz, it was phenomenal. I felt somewhat bad that they don't have the crowd (yet) that they deserve. When you go, there's no doubt you're in the presence of greatness, that these musicians have practiced their entire lives to bring this to you and you're able to just sit there and enjoy it. I felt truely blessed. The staff here is chill and kind and are appreciative of patrons. I can't wait to go back for more. Highly recommend as just a chill vibe cocktail bar and highly recommend for the jazz.

To the new owners many blessings and maintaining the greatness to what the place has become. Dont forget the lady killer hookah.

Walked in with my date and the entire place was EMPTY. The first thing the waitress asked was…read morewhether we had a reservation. I told her no, considering there wasn't a single other customer there, I didn't think one would be necessary. She then proceeded to seat the two of us at the smallest table in the restaurant. I asked if we could sit on one of the couches and was told she had to "check for reservations." Again, the place was completely empty. After waiting a few minutes, she finally moved us. I then asked if we could have some water while we looked over the menu. She brought ONE Poland Spring bottle and ONE cup... for two people. (I've never witnessed this before) The menu says fries or salad, we never got asked for a choice. From there, the service only got more frustrating. Two different waitresses kept coming to our table seemingly every four minutes, one after the other, giving us absolutely no time to relax, talk, or enjoy the date , all while the entire restaurant remained empty. The whole experience felt unwelcoming, disorganized, and unnecessarily uncomfortable. When a restaurant has virtually no customers, you would expect the service to be more attentive and accommodating, not worse. Drinks are $18 as if it's Manhattan! Smh - Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience...

Thank goodness we FOUND paradise LOST. You ring the doorbell, and are buzzed in to be put on the…read morelist. For my group of 2, it was approximately a 25 minute wait on a Saturday at 7. We jumped over to the bar right beside and drank some girly drinks before getting the notification our table was ready. As with nearly every establishment in NYC, it is very close quarters in paradise lost. We stood at a table while waiting for seats at the bar to become available. Which, we didn't mind. I could see how this might be a little harder to get a seat for a bigger group if you aren't there before 6. It seemed that once a group got a big table, they camped out. The drinks were strong and creative. Friendly bartenders, good music, and yummy options for bar snacks. Also, the bathroom is a nice touch. Given the hell theming for the bar, the bathroom is a 180 and while using the Lou, you can listen to the bible being recited. Theres also a spooky surprise if you press the button in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, it is at the bottom of some decently narrow stairs. So, try and stay sober enough for stairs or you may fall. Go to this bar. You will have fun.

I mean, I've had bad pina coladas at dive bars, but I expected more from this place. I would say it was very strong, though, so you know what? That's a good thing to be very strong for that price I'm paying. The spam musubi was also a rip-off. You see two here, but each one costs its own $10, so save your money. Eat somewhere else. Eat a pizza across the street.

We only had drinks, so I can't speak to how the food is, although it looked like they mainly offered finger foods. I tried their rum punch and limoncello spritz, and both were good.
