Overview
A sleek bar with a mixed crowd, views of the Empire State Building and impressively flattering lighting. Most notable for the surprising amount of press it got following a flame war with 42 Below Vodka in 2005.

The several Lite-Brite screens and cubes sitting on end tables may be gimmicky, but the view of the Empire State Building certainly isn?t.

Best new place I've been to this year!
This place is now called Velour Lounge. I arrived around 9:30 with a group of 5 to celebrate my birthday in December. Because we called in advance my friends and I were treated to free house Champagne right after sitting down, nice! We stayed later than I thought because we got so comfortable and the service was great. Definately worth a return visit.

Girls just want to have fun, and we did!
I came here for my best friends birthday last week not knowing what to expect. I must say that I was unexpectedly surprised! This bar used to be called Brite I think and I Loved the special drink called the 'Velour' and the guy behind the bar was really nice to us all night, plus the server for our table. Did I mention the music rocks?! I think we may have closed down the place...I want to go back for my birthday next month!
