    *Music A-1* Drinks You Can Taste The Alcohol Food Slapped! I wouldn't mind returning I had a great time even with commuting from the Bronx to Bk. I had the Lamb Chop /w Mac n Cheese. That was the best Mac n cheese that I've had outside by far.

    Found my way to Velvet Room, after a friend's last minute change of birthday plans. I honestly had my heart set on the original plans but once we were inside Velvet Room, I was really happy to be there. My friend and I were the only customers there at just after 7PM so we were seated promptly. We started with cocktails, shots and appetizers of wings, parmesan fries and lobster mac and cheese. The wings were tasty and cooked well-done which is a thing with me- not a fan of soft chicken. The macaroni was hot and cheesy with a large, fried lobster tail on top. The lobster tail was crispy and large enough to share. Our "BBL" cocktails were served to us in the cutest booty shaped glasses. The tequila shots gave them extra kick. We were told that hookah couldn't be ordered until 830PM so we ate, drank and waited. We sat for awhile and seemingly out of nowhere, Velvet Room filled up with people and became a whole vibe! A wonderful DJ whose name escapes me set up. Our hookah was bought out. There was an emcee and then the karaoke shenanigans began- the servers and even the DJ got on the mic. After about 2 hours, my friend, the birthday girl, grabbed a mic and became the crowd motivator. Overall, an outstanding night was had. Please note that the hookah is cash/CashApp only and there's a built in gratuity with the main menu. If you're driving, that area is residential so parking was surprisingly easy. We had so much fun, my friend wants to rent out Velvet Room for an event. Love it!

    The food is on point and so is the service until they rush you to leave lol it's a dope spot tho

    Plenty of potential but our experience fell way short! I'm giving 3 stars because our waitress tried her best and when we brought all the issues to the owner, he was receptive and tried to help. The ambiance in here is pretty nice. The lighting and decor is also nice. They had a live DJ who played a good mix, so the vibe was good. The hookah was the highlight and savior of the night! The guy was on point and the hookah pulled nice and smooth, it kept us distracted and less frustrated by the slowww service. Celebrated my friend's birthday here two Sundays ago. He had reservations for 6pm that was pushed back 45 minutes due to the previous party arriving late (not really our issue but okay). We were finally seated around 7. We were a group of 18 and they only assigned ONE server to the table. I'm not sure they are equipped for such big groups. The service was sooo slowww despite the waitress doing the best she could. She kept apologizing and we could tell she was clearly overwhelmed. We ordered drinks of course and it took well over an hour before a lot of us received our orders. It was taking so long that most people just started going to the bar to order directly. Again, the waitress kept apologizing and assured us she put in all our orders and was just waiting in the bar. We had to actually speak to the owner after about 1.5 hours and he personally went to the bar to get some of us our drinks. I personally ordered the "big queens" which is basically a lychee martini and it was a complete fail. It tasted like pure syrup! My friend also got the same and she felt the same. We both returned it. Actually, that seemed to be the theme for a lot of their drinks, even something as simple as a Shirley temple...TOO SWEET. The "pound town" and "take me home" were much better options. Perfect balance of strong and flavorful. The food was okay. I ordered buffalo and lemon pepper wings to start. I received buffalo and garlic Parmesan wings instead. I didn't feel like the hassle, so I just kept it without saying anything. The flavor was good on both but the garlic parm was salty. Either they need to go lighter on seasoning the wings itself or the sauce. The buffalo was good. I ordered the lamb chops as my entree, I give it a solid 3/5. My friend's order of salmon with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes came out after everyone was done eating. She literally ate nothing and had to take it home. I didn't take more food pics because it was already chaotic and people waited long enough. Also, they definitely need to work on the plating and presentation of the food. All in all, there is definitely plenty of potential and room for improvement. I feel like this a good spot for a more chill vibe; drinks, hookah, and a quick bite. I def would not recommend or celebrate a special occasion here, especially with a big group.

    Dj was on point with the music. Food was delicious and tasty. Drinks were lit. Shout out to our waitress Jodie, the manager and security. They all made our visit enjoyable. Definitely a place you want to check out. Ambiance was low light and relaxaing. We will be back.

    Grits and catfish

    Food, service and atmosphere was top tier!!! Visiting from DC and will definitely be back!

    Rasta pasta

    I went when it was a Wednesday and they have the 10$ drinks and food. The place is small the hookah is okay. I wish they had more food options for $10. The tacos are not it . I would not suggest the shrimp tacos at all. The Rasta was spicy. It looked good and the portion for 10$ was great. I got lemon pepper wings. I was shocked it wasn't a dry rub. I kinda didn't like that;/ the dj was good . Overall I would go back for a vibe. I would probably eat before going. We ended up getting a bottle instead of trying the $10 drinks so when I go back I deff would try the drinks! The server could've been a little more attentive but a lot was going on.

    Rum punch

    Great neighborhood lounge my server bartender Lissy was amazing we went on a Wednesday loved the wings rum punch was punching happy hour hookah deals great vibes my lissy is dope tap in with her

    Just stumbled across this spot and wanted to see the hype. Actually it was a cool spot. We enjoyed our food. These dj was rocking. I didn't care for one of my dishes and let the waiter know, the manager came over and apologized. Took it off the bill no attitude no rudeness complete professionalism. Thanks for a good time

    I have mixed feelings about this place.. I arrived exactly at 1pm when they opened with my group of 4 the place was EMPTY first people in the door. the waitress was so sweet and polite and very apologetic about the wait time. We ordered at about 1:15 and We did not start eating until 2:15. one of my friends had a little bit of a complicated order because she is picky. She Ordered the Mac and cheese as a side and catfish as her entrée she got the catfish plate after we finished eating about 2:50 mind you her SIDE dish came out first with my other two friends dishes the grits and pasta. I sat there waiting for my ox tail and Mac and cheese for about 10mins (2:23) after my friends got their food. And at this time I was still waiting for my appetizer witch came out by (2:40) and my mozzarella sticks were the only things not cooked I GOT MY APPETIZER LAST AFTER I WAS DONE EATING and my friend waiting for her catfish once the manger came over she just placed my friends plate down and walked away to ask the waitress what the problem was, to turn around and just say sorry for the wait on the food and is there anything I can help with... my friends and I wanted an answer to why it took so long for us to get her catfish (she ordered first) and appetizer. THE ANSWER she gave was the food wasn't on the same ticket when it was all ordered at the same time And it was a technical error. My friend just packed her plate up to go at that point. Nothing was taking off our bill even when we were told something should have been done about it and we had to WAIT for the bill.. We left by 3pm TWO HOURS spent here. THE FOOD WAS GREAT nothing to complain about except wait time DEFINITELY just ordering ahead if I come again the waitress was awesome! She definitely deserves more credit for running the bar and serving food to everyone there! Needs more staff than one person to help running orders for 20-30 people at the same time. My advice to the owner would be the customer is always right if something wasn't cooked like my mozzarella sticks give a discount for the inconvenience if you know that your kitchen is having problems pushing food out at the same time offer a free 5 dollar drink or something like 5% off the bill and i leave this long review to give a honest experience I understand as small business it's hard to make sure everyone is happy when leaving a lasting impression. I hope things are different next time.

    Drink- fly me out!

    Ask for AK when ya get there immediately! She did my drink with so much love! Food came at an appropriate time! First time here and I'll be back!

    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.

The stars finally aligned this winter and I had the opportunity to try it out. The vibes are perfect. Fog and bubbles, sea noises and all of the art go together seemlessly. Drinks were great. We had three and left suitably sloshed for the night with no aftereffects. We didn't have too many bites but the food was very good for a bar. I'm excited to go back and I hope we have just as much luck getting in next time.

Cocktails are made with various types of rum and ingredients like grapefruit, maraschino, wormwood amaro, falernum, thyme, Assam tea, spiced lime, allspice, coconut, cucumber, nutmeg, sour orange. All the drinks keep with the tropical, fruity taste with a hint of spice. They are also broken up into categories (dry land = no alcohol, shallows = average amount of alcohol, and abyss (larger amounts of alcohol). The abyss section has some cocktails that are limited to two per customer. They have some bar bites like fried green tomatoes, shrimp toast, broiled oysters, ricotta, dumplings, sliders. I had the French fries with kimchi ranch, which were underwhelming. Bartenders were cool and kept the drinks coming. I got in immediately without an issue or a wait, but it was right after a snowstorm. I've seen some people struggle to get in or have a long wait.

The room is moving, the energy is right, and it feels like a real party instead of a playlist on shuffle. Friday nights with the live drums? Different level. That's when Bembe really shows its roots. The drums add this raw, authentic feel that turns the whole night into an experience instead of just a bar stop. Now let's talk drinks -- because this one deserves its own moment: The tequila with the lime dipped in coffee grounds is surprisingly delicious. I wasn't expecting it to work... but it absolutely does. Must-drink. Non-negotiable. This is a place to dance, drink, sweat a little, and leave feeling like you actually went somewhere. Bathroom Review (2 out of 4) Safety - Bouncer presence helps a lot. You feel secure moving back there. Accessibility - Easy enough to get to, no maze or weird hallway journey. Space - Bathrooms are small and tucked way in the back. Gets cramped fast. Privacy - Sinks are outside the bathrooms, which kills the privacy a bit when it's packed.

I loved that there were congas by the ready for a quick jam sesh! My only gripe was the drinks. My first drink was an "old fashioned" and it had a bunch of raw coarse sugar at the bottom. It actually looked like a Long Island iced tea, so I'm not sure what it was. It was a bit loud, so maybe they misunderstood my order. My second drink seemed accurate, and was just fine. Anyway, I'd definitely hit this spot up again, especially if Delaceiba is in the house. Much much love Bembe!
