Great place for private parties 10/28/2007

I rented out the third floor of Latitude for a Halloween party. The space was great, it has it's own bar, plenty of tables & couches, and three bathrooms. The Management and door staff were very accommodating and made sure we had a great time. The drinks & music were pretty good. I would definitely recommend this place for a private party, we had a fun. more

Great time 9/25/2007

My younger sister had her 21st birthday party here in the 3rd floor lounge. She had about 75 people and it easily could've held another 20-30 people. It is a perfect spot if you want to do something private because the stairs lead straight up from the entrance and it is separated from the rest of the place. The people working there were very helpful and attentive. Everything went surprisingly smooth and it wasn't stressful at all. Would definitely recommend it for a private party, not something where people float in and out of ""your spot"". So if you're a bunch of guys this would not be a fit I don't think. again great service, very impressed. Thanks go out to Rob and Steve. Pros: Service, Private Space for parties Cons: Separate from the rest of bar if you have a private party more

Believe the BAD REVIEWS. 8/30/2007

\r Their promoter should really spend more time looking after the operations of this hole than writing all the glowing pretend reviews about imaginary birthday and office parties that never took place. As a real reviewer who really went here (for a real--and really bad--birthday party), I can honestly tell you that the vibe was awful, the drinks were weak, and the bartenders over-charged me--and then quickly snapped up my change as if it was a tip (a $16 tip on a $24 round? I'm generous but not that generous, toots). When I tried to get her attention again, she ignored me (surprise). Whatever. And the DJ, like the crowd, was awful. This review will prob get taken down shortly, like the other negative reviews of Latitude, which is a shame. Because it speaks not just to the lack of integrity on the part of the establishment, but also to CitySearch's ever-decreasing credibility. If Latitude simply ran a better bar, they wouldn't have to spend all day faking their own reviews. It's a very sad existence you lead.\r more

3rd Floor - nice space 8/28/2007

I called the event planner to book an open bar party for my Birthday. I've been here a few times and knew they had a 2nd floor - but to my surprise she put me on the 3rd floor! Great space that I did not even know existed. It's pretty loungy and also has it's own bar. My open bar deal was also really hassle-free. We just paid at the door....which is pretty cool because i didn't have to collect any money. And can I just say that our bartender (i think his name was Jim or TIm) was super-hot! That's ALWAYS a plus. :-). Oh yeah, the guy at the door who gave us the bracelets was super-cute. Most bars in nyc only have pretty girls so it was refreshing to have some great looking guys. Nice touch! Pros: 3rd floor, cute guys more

Unsuccessful Networking Event 8/23/2007

I can't say enough about how dreadful my event at Latitude was. Our group was treated like cattle. The upstairs space was loud and uncomfortable, and the drinks were totally overpriced and weak. I especially want to mention what an outstanding job of misleading us they did. Their ability to make a lame space and lame location even more lame was fantastic, and we all wanted to shoot ourselves after about 10 minutes in there! Hurray! It was bad bad bad. We will definitely NOT keep Latitude in mind for future Networking events--or birthday parties or office parties or any other event involving anything other than having a really bad time. more

Successful Networking Event 8/23/2007

I can't say enough about how wonderful my event at Latitude was. Our group was extremely well taken care of. The upstairs space was perfect and the food and drinks were fantastic. I especially want to mention what an outstanding job our waitress did serving our party. Her ability to manage our group so well was fantastic, and we had a blast with her! She was great, great, great. We will definitely keep Latitude in mind for future Networking events. Pros: staff, food, drinks more

Impressive 8/2/2007

A friend told me about this place and I decided to check it out after work. I was very impressed. It's a good place to watch the Yankee games. Tons of TVs and a huge bar. After walking outside in the smoltering heat it's refreshing because even though this place is huge the a/c works great! A cold beer helped too! Also, really friendly service. Pros: refreshing atmosphere, tvs, service more

Love the Live Music 7/25/2007

I never go out on Mondays but had a friend invite me out for Happy Hour. We walked by Latitude (we were actaully on our way to another place) and stumbled upon these 2 guys playing acoustic music. I was instantly drawn to them and had to stay for drinks. The band was amazing. I also must say that the drinks specials were a pretty sweet deal. I don't know how this place is on any other night but I really like the vibe here on Mondays. Pros: music, drinks deals Cons: kinda hard to see bar from 8th avenue walk-by more

Love the Food 7/24/2007

I went to Latitude the other day to grab a few drinks and maybe some appetizers. I had no idea that I would end up eating dinner here. Let me just say that the food was awesome! I highly recommend the quesadillas (i would share them with others because they are huge!). They had lobster in them. The mussels and hummus were excellent too. Also very reasonably priced. I was very pleasantly surprised. Great place for dinner. Pros: food selection, great prices Cons: would love to see turkey burgers more

Very accomodating staff 7/23/2007

I had such a great first experience at Latitude I just had to write a review. I showed up with about 30 people during happy hour. It was very busy and I did not event think about making a reservation. So the bouncer at the door told me that most of the areas were booked for parties but he would do his best to accommodate our group. He grabbed a waitress to help us out who immediately walked our group over to a place to hang out. THEN the manager came over and welcomed us and gave us the event planner's business card and told us to make a reservation next time (which i definitely will b/c they were busy). The entire staff - from the bouncer, waitresses, and manager were so friendly. I also must mention that the food was great and came out really quickly. Great Place all around! Pros: staff, food more

Excellent for Private Parties... and a cool place to hang afterwork 6/27/2007

I organized two events at Latitude within recent months and both were amazing successes. I have also frequented latitude afterwork with friends for drinks and snacks. I've had many a happy evening at this venue and walk or take the bus all the way from my office on 5th and 32nd, to go to the corner of 48th and 8th. I pass quite a few places along the way... if nothing else, that alone, speaks volumes!!! Pros: Apple Martinis are Awesome... they actually have Apple Slices in them Cons: The wait for food ... it kinda takes a while (but I really do love the chicken nachos - worth the wait!) more

Excellent Private Party, great to just hang out! 6/25/2007

We worked with Latitude for 3 months to setup a private party (fundraiser). They (Sarah & Mike) were very eager to work with us and were very receptive and helpful. The venue is VERY nice, as far as asthetics. We were on the third floor, and we were able to fit 130 people and a DJ. The bartenders and service was excellent. The floor was very well kept, and in excellent condition. The management was very accomodating (we had needed an extension cord for the DJ and they lent us one). Their AV system is Great and very accomodating. We were able to play our very DVD on our floor's 3 LCD flat panels TVs, and it was fairly easy to set the DJ up. The bartenders and bar backs were very helpful with our requests, i.e. dimming the lights, allowing us to use the microphone, etc. The food is great, and I mean GREAT! We were able to offer very accomodating drink specials, and everyone enjoyed themselves. I will definately consider Latitude for any other future private events, or even just to hang out. Pros: Great for Private Parties, Great Food, Great Service, Excellent Atmosphere Cons: Third floor is a long way up! more

Nice Lounge 6/14/2007

I'm not really into clubs but do enjoy a nice upscale loungy area. And it's difficult to find that in NYC - either the staff is snobby or the drinks are too expensive. I found Latitude on the internet and decided to try it out. It exceeded my expectations as far as service and drinks/food. It wasn't snobby or ""foo-foo"" like other lounges. Music was pretty good too. I will definiately be back - really enjoyed the vibe here. Pros: nice vibe, friendly staff, good drinks/food Cons: a lot of construction nearby more

Great Fun! 6/12/2007

I always keep coming back to this bar (I must be there atleast 3/week)! Their food is great, the drinks are amazing, can be somewhat on the heavy side at times, but still good, the DJ plays awesome tunes, and the staff - how gracious are they?! It gets quite busy during happy hour, but I still enjoy the vibe, and the ambiance. What I like most about it is its' laid-back, no cover, and no velvet rope approach, unlike other bars in the area. Pros: Food, Ambiance, Staff Cons: N/A more

perfect place for a private party 5/31/2007

Latitude Bar and Lounge was by far the best place in NYC to throw a private party. I was planning a surprise birthday party for my girlfriend on Memorial Day weekend and after an exhaustive inquisition, for the perfect place, of about a dozen different facilities, Latitude stood out above the rest by far. Sarah, the event coordinator was the most helpful individual in planning this event. She was able to work within my budget when no other places would. The staff was very friendly and catered to anything asked of them. Everyone was so pleased with the quality and choices of food for this event. The music was a perfect selection for the group and the ambience was second to none. If you are planning a party for anything I would highly recommend giving latitude your consideration. You will not be disappointed. Pros: staff, food, bar, ambience more

Good Late Night spot 4/30/2007

Came here Saturday night with a group of friends. Loved the music, draft selection, and late night munchies. They have a bunch of different rooms with a bar in each too. Pretty cool. Next time I come I'll definiately make a reservation b/c it was packed. Overall, great spot. Pros: Music, food, drinks more

Hard to beat!! 4/25/2007

\r We decided to host our annual ""Worst Bar in NYC"" event here and it was just PERFECT! The staff were totally accomodating (as in predictably useless)!! The food was also perfect (ie we wanted to barff it all up an hour later)!!! And the lame wedding DJ must have thought he was spinning at Pacha because the crappy music was so loud, our bartender couldn't undertsand our drink order! AWESOME!!! It sure is going to be hard to top this place next year!!!!!! Thanks Latitude!!!\r \r more

Great Event Space 4/20/2007

I held my annual ""end of tax season"" event at Latitude last night on the 2nd floor and cannot say enough how wonderful everything went. The staff attentive, managers were great - and food was excellent. This was my first time here and I loved the space. They opend up the windows and it was a nice breeze. I will definitely reccommend this place to others and cannot wait to host my next event here. Pros: event space, service, food more

Great Food, Great Fun!!! 4/19/2007

The person who posted the below write-up....seriously - get a life...obviously you are B&T! I've had several several parties at Latitude, and have referred a number of my colleagues there as well, and have yet to hear that they didn't like the place for whatever reason. The vibe is great, the look is awesome, the clientele is different (and that's a good thing), attentive service, friendly staff, great variety of food/beer/drinks, and the best part, where will you be able to find such an upscale sports bar in Hell's Kitchen. This place is by far my favorite, and I will continue to go regardless of what others say! Pros: Food, Drink, DJ, TVs, Sports Bar, Lounge, Pool Table Cons: N/A more
