Sutra Lounge, New York

Sutra is the place to be!! if you love hip- hop and kool people ...you will love this place. It's not sleek and fake, it's just down to earth new york fun.

SUTRA IS NO BIG WHOOP. THE DECOR IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT SPACE DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL. I MEAN THE PLACE WAS PACKED TO THE DOOR. IF YOU SIT DOWN YOU WILL JUST HAVE BUTTS IN YOUR FACE. DRINKS ARE OVER PRICED AND MADE HORRIBLY, I MEAN IT TASTED LICK COUGH MEDICINE. THE V.I.P. ROOM IS A HOLE IN THE WALL. ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT THIS PLACE IS THE CROWD AND THE MUSIC. IF YOU NEVER GO HERE YOU WON'T BE MISSING ANYTHING GREAT.

This review is definitely owed to Sutra Lounge and their staff! I just turned 30 and since the ending of last year, I was shopping venues etc to plan a private birthday party. I googled lounges in NYC and Sutra showed up on the list among others. After speaking with a staff person and receiving some basic info, I was impressed by the price and the pictures from online. After visiting Sutra in person, this was the perfect place to hold my event. Fast forward a few months into early '08 and I continued my monthly email reminders about my party date. After finalizing my contract in Mid May, the excitement and questions flooded in. All staff were very helpful and reassuring with everything. I held my party on a Sunday evening so that I could have invitees only. Sutra's great offer was irresistible! How could I say no? The ambiance the night of my party was fantastic. It was dimly lit inside with candles, incense and rose petals.. they even let me use the tv above the bar to play a dvd with pictures of me the entire night. I was also able to add little candy bowls and touches where I wanted. Overall, my guests LOVED the venue and the staff and owner were great the entire night. I would host another event at Sutra anytime! Shout out to the owner Ariel, John, Dino and the rest of staff on-site Sunday, June 22nd!

Sincerely,
Vikki
