Overview

Lots of big booths and a long bar make this eclecticly decorated low key bar a good place for small groups and for singles. There's a pool table in the back and DJs on weekends.

Outside Reviews

New York Magazine

This low-key lounge has no overt Spanish theme, but it nails the spacious hominess the name implies.

From the man behind such classics as Guernica, Orchid Lounge and Ludlow Bar comes this new East Village bar and lounge, featuring live music and a warm, sexy atmosphere.

Maybe there's another 40C?
Everyone wants to visit the up-and-coming hip venues, especially the "happening" spots so I went to this supposedly "cool new bar%u201D. And I found that the only thing worse than Pop music on the turntable and too much ambient lighting is a sparsely populated room where the only willing dancers are the ones who probably shouldn't be on the dance floor. Although, with the right crowd to start the place up (and new suggestions for the DJ)... I GUESS I could see the potential.
