Latitude

I go there once a week and usually on Friday after work. They have $4.5 martini and $3.5 margaritta for happy hour. Their buffalo wings and fries are great. But the service could be better. Pros: Great Happy Hour Cons: Service more

Went with a group of four co-workers for happy hour. Walked in and the place seemed nice enough -- a good crowd of people but not too crowded. They had a few empty tables that were reserved for later on, but were nice enough to let us sit at one for an hour before the reservation. We ordered mojitos and a cosmopolitan. The mojitos were terrible. Couldn't taste the rum (and I don't even like my drinks strong at all). They were just sugar water, and the table sugar wasn't even dissolved -- it just stayed at the bottom of the glass!! We returned the second mojito we ordered and asked for another, only to receive the exact same kind of drink! Returned that one for a cosmo, and it tasted fine. The calamari and fries we had for apps were good. Service was slow, the waitress was fine, but not too friendly, especially after we returned the drinks. It's so close to where we work, but I don't think we'll ever go back. Pros: Nice atmosphere, good apps Cons: Watered-down drinks, sloooow service more

I could OMG this place to death. They played some awesome old school hip hop, underground best dance music mix I've heard in a looong time, and I live in l.a and enjoy the hollywood scene out here. Long wait time for service, it was busy, obviously a weekend night. Overall it was fabulous. Good looking men & women. Friendly people everywhere, or maybe I was just tanked? Oh well, have at it. Hells Kitchen great scene. Pros: Dancing, good music, attractive people Cons: Busy busy more

Really? this place is a big deal? Meh, i didn't think so. Pros: rich on beers Cons: too loud more

We go to Latitude a lot, especially for happy hour. Never had a problem here, do not fall for the ""fake"" one time ""reviewers' "" reviews (spell check??) I know a lot about food and drink also and this is an average place. The only negative thing about it is I can say is it would be better if they ""cleaned"" it up a little and changed the lighting. It also has an upstairs with a few rooms that host parties too. The foods that I tried that are very good here, and it is NOT bar grub food are: spring rolls, french fries; they are crisp and hot!! and the wraps, especially the salmon and tuna roll, everything is fresh too. The bartenders are very nice and so is the bouncer, they are always respectful and we talk to them all the time. Again, we never had a problem here, never saw a problem and have been coming here for a year and a half. Mind you its not the Plaza, that is why it is a bar, just a place to hang. Pros: Good service, food and drink Cons: They can fix it up a bit more

One bartender had a fight with a girl and after that the security guy started to yell ""the bar is close"", ""Get the $%$# of hear"" and they kicked everyone out. Cons: Security people very aggresive and ofensive more

I celebrated my birthday here afterwork. I reserved a section, and everything was ready when I arrived. Loved the appetizers, but the drinks could have been better. People there seemed to have a good time, but I didn't like the music. They don't play any hip hop, top 40, or 80s. I guess is a good place minus the music. I wish these reviews included what kind of music these places play because my group of friends felt kind of bored there. Pros: delicious appetizers, friendly staff, Cons: music more

I've been here a few times, and I really like the location of this place. The bartenders are nice, and seem to be on target with drinks. They get crazy busy, that at times it is hard to get a drink, but then again, it is Times Square, and what do you expect? I enjoy the atmosphere, the crowd, and location - it's a place where you can unwind and relax. Pros: Location more

This is my new favorite after work spot! The food is awesome and the drink specials are very affordable. Me and a bunch of coworkers headed over to Latitude after work on Thursday and we had such a great time. The DJ played great music and our waitress was so nice. We will definitely be back here again soon! Pros: drink specials, food, DJ, staff more

I used to frequent Latitude very often, even hosting several parties there of 50+ people. It is a very nice place and convenient since my office is very close by, my colleagues and I would always have a good time. Pros: atmosphere, food, drink menu Cons: non-attentive staff, music, poorly ran venue more

I work 2 blocks away and I frequent Latitude every thursday after work. There are tons of bars in the area and my friends and I always seem to find ourselves here. They have a great happy hour and a good crowd. The age group is very diverse ranging from young professionals to people in their late 30's. The staff is friendly, the bar food is pretty good and I've found that the drinks are strong. My friends and I recommend the French Kiss Martini. You'll hear music at this place from your past that you wont hear anywhere else, and it's a good thing. I def recommend giving this place a try after work if you haven't already. more

Great Happy hour spot - Good drinks and good service - See a lot of different types of people which makes for interesting conversations and creates a great ""meeting spot"" atmosphere. more

I work in the area and there are so many different bars to go to, but I ALWAYS go to Latitude-especially for Happy Hour. The music is fun and they play some 80's mixed with popular music. The door guy is so nice and always remembers me and my friends when we go. They make my favorite drink in NYC, its called a French Kiss Martini. This is a martini dream. (It's Pink and I even have my boyfriend drinking them now) It gets pretty crowded on Thursday nights so seating is sometimes hard, so recently we have been calling in advance to reserve a table (which they dont charge to do). Pros: Cute Staff and Great Martini's more

My friends and I had a party Saturday night with an open bar. We had such a great time! The room was perfect and the open bar we set up with the event lady was hassle-free. We didn't have to collect money beforehand - they did it at the door for us. The drinks are strong and the staff was great! Pros: open bar, private room, hassle free more

had my company work party last night. staff was friendly, food was good, and the private room was perfect. all around great spot. highly recommend. Pros: service, food, private party rooms more

We just threw a surprise party for my brother-in-law at your venue - and thank you doesn't do justice. The staff was friendly, courteous, prompt, efficient - to name a few. From planning with Sarah, to Tom (the night manager), Bahola (the bartender) and the other help Fabian and the others (Sorry, can't remember their names)- everyone was just great. Additionally - the location is ideal - and the room setup is perfect for any party. Thanks again for everything. We would definately recommend to others. Pros: great location, friendly staff, nice party place more

Because of Citysearch comments about reservations, I called the day before to ask for a table. ""Our events coordinator will call you back before noon tomorrow,"" was the reply. Yeah right. When we got there at 9:30, we saw a ton of available tables upstairs. We figured they held a table and didn't call back to confirm. We figured wrong. ""Sorry,"" said the maitre d', ""we're closing the upstairs. "" Still, the staff managed to find us a booth downstairs and it was uphill from there. The waitress was friendly and really on the spot. The other customers were up and ready to mix. The music was NOT too loud. The food was okay, if not spectacular. All-in-all it was a fun night. Just don't bother with reservations. --Drink Club is a roving group of NYC drinkers Pros: friendly atmosphere, accommodating staff Cons: reservation system, upstairs closes early more

I decided to throw my 25th Birthday party at Latitude last friday. It was kinda last minute thing and teh crew was extremely helpful. My party of around 40 people had our own tables right next to the fire place and the bar, 2 booths reserved for my party and an absoultely sweethert waitress by the name of Stephanie. We were there from 630 till like 1AM and the party kept on getting bigger and bigger. Stephanie and the rest of the crew( including the bouncer who took our pictures) were great. She made sure that all my guests were satisfied and happy with her service. Pros: Staff, drink specials and relaxing fun ambience more

If you ever are looking to throw a party or just have a fun place to go for some drinks, you should definitely check out Latitude. I threw a joint Birthday party and used the 3rd floor. The day manager (Sarah) is the definition of excellent customer service going far above and beyond. She worked with us for a month for this party always calling and responding immediately to our emails and helping us with anything. We were on the 3rd floor and had a BLAST. The bar is amazing and has different rooms. Some of our guests grabbed a drink on the 2nd floor then came up to our party. Everyone loved this place and I have been getting calls/texts all day saying how much they loved the party and bar. The staff was also AMAZING. The night manager (Tom) walked around and checked on us to make sure the party was going well (even told us he would turn the AC up when it got warm without us even asking!). The bouncers were great keeping our (rowdy) guests under control and the 2 bartenders and bar-back were friendly and fast. Pros: Great private parties, staff, and environment more

After driving around for twenty minutes looking for parking and walking several blocks, we were in. The bouncer asked us for the usual (our ID's) but when it was our turn to ask questions, we were ignored. The answer to our question was ""The party is upstairs""...we asked a yes/no question but he was too busy chatting with friends. Once upstairs, the bouncer there made us line up with our money in hand. I explained that I was the designated driver but this didn't matter-I was expected to drink $45 worth of alcohol apparently. The bartenders were the only ones who seemed to be doing a good job-it never took my fiance more than 5 mins to come back with a drink. The music was generic-think Z100 meets WPLJ. The third floor has a balcony but don't expect to make use of it-when my friend went out there to take a call from his brother, a soldier in Iraq, the bouncer rudely interrupted and said: ""can't you read?""-there was a sign that appeared to be written in pencil on the door forbidding entry. A simple ""excuse me, please don't use the balcony"" would have been better-the staff treated us like unruly children when it clearly wasn't warranted. more
