I celebrated my 22nd at Sutra, along with two of my girlfriends and it was amazing. At first I was nervous because it was my first time going to Sutra, and I read on the website that each table reservation has a 1 bottle (of liquor) minimum, and the cheapest bottle is $165.
I couldn't afford to make a table reservation so I made a General Admission reservation for a group of 25 two days prior, and even though it was pretty much last minute, the owner did what she could to fit my group in. Our party stayed upstairs (ground floor), and my guests began arriving at 10pm- at that time the music was somewhat mellow, but still Hip. As the night progressed the DJ began playing the hottest music: hip-hop, REGGAE, r&b remixes and even LATIN!! By the end of the night he had everyone out on the dance floor, not one of my guests was sitting down. The best part was when he gave a shout-out to me and my two girls for our birthdays...I didn't even have to ask for that, it was totally unexpected! =)
Sutra is chic and trendy, with an upbeat and lively environment! I checked out the bar downstairs, and the people were having a great time. The bartender was great, she was prompt and very friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better 22nd!
Pros: Very lively environment!
Cons: Parking, take the F train- also, you can avoid paying $2 for the coat check. When I first walked in I thought it was mandatory, but later found out that its not!
