    Came here for dinner, no movie, but will probably come back eventually to do both. Overall this place has a very hip vibe to it, but not one that will make you feel uncomfortable if you are less ~trendy~ than the others who are dining. Our waitress was very sweet, wasn't overbearing, and we ordered/got our food/drinks in a very timely manner. The menu isn't huge, but I would say that there are options for most people depending on taste. I went with the chicken dish and my friend got the steak frites, and we were both happy with our meals! The chicken was a bit dry on the inside, but the sauce that covered the dish made up for that. The steak came with a hefty portion of frites which were definitely on the salty side but still delicious. We also shared a side of Mac n cheese for fun, but it was a bit under-salted....could have used some of the salt from the fries!!!! Would definitely recommend this place for a date (dinner and movie), or just for a more relaxed night out with friends. Hope to be back!

    Awesome hideout, one of the smoothest spots in the east.

    Me and the Kimster were donkeying around the lower lower east side, she had a work thing at The Forgetmenot and i had a haircut, we had walked very far and were famished. We popped into The Metrograph Commisary, inside the uber cool Metrograph theater, the newest coolest movie theater playing an eclectic playlist of film nightly and had an Aperol Spritzer (Kim) a Negroni (moi) and 2 of their toasts, an avocado toast with an egg and a whitefish salad toast I recall. Delicious, great smooth style that reflects the tastes of the fellows that brought this place to life. We need to do more here, try some other dishes, but we loved it we sat at the bar and had a great lunch. It was chic and charming, quaint and a little romantic if you wanted it to be, we left there very happy. I suggest a movie and a bite at The Metrograph once a week for the rest of your life.

    Awesome food wow

    $7-9 for a 12 oz draft is kinda ridiculous, especially for the meager selection. Kinda weird space, too.

    Paradise Lost is a speakeasy tiki bar located on 2nd Ave in the East Village. A friend & I went…read morethere after having dinner at Spicy Moon a few blocks away. We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

The drinks were very interesting and creative. The seawater martini I will say was a bit too strange for my taste but I still thought it was good. Service was very good as well. Would definitely recommend to visit if you like gothic stuff and tiki bars.

Dim lighting, plush seating, rich wood + wallpaper details, and that lounge-library vibe make the place feel like a secret hideout right in the middle of Midtown. It's moody, cozy, and effortlessly intimate -- perfect for a date night, a chill catch-up, or just a night out with good drinks. Nice service, too! However: be ready for the price tag. The cocktails are absolutely beautiful -- well crafted, creative, and flavorful -- but each one will remind you that you're not exactly paying dive-bar prices. It's worthwhile, but the "overpriced drinks" vibe absolutely hits. That said: the interior design and ambience are amazing. The mix of antique-meets-modern decor, low lighting, and comfy couches gives you that classic speakeasy romance. If you appreciate aesthetics and vibe over cheap drinks -- this is your spot. If you want a night out that feels deliberate and special rather than casual and cheap -- Osamil Upstairs delivers.
