    Very over crowded and loud for date night. Don’t suggest this place for a weekend visit unless you are looking for a very loud crowd.

    Trying too hard. This was disappointing. Maybe I expected too much. The idea of a sexy, stylish "speakeasy" just wasn't the case. Making you check your phones in at the door. A bit of attitude from the staff about where you sit and stand. All for a bunch of folks dressed like they're at any bar on 6th St in t-shirts and ball caps while charging NYC exclusive nightclub prices on drinks. Won't go back.

    Incredible design and ambience. Staff was all very friendly, though a little inattentive. Had to wave people down to ask for an update on our drinks and for the check. Drinks were very subpar for the cost. We expected them to be incredible based on the elevated ambience and high cost. You are better off at other cocktail bars for the best drink, though the vibe of the powder room is hard to beat.

    The ambience and decor at Powder Room were great. Half of us arrived early before our reservation time, and they offered to seat us early, but they failed to inform us that our 1.5-hour limit would start then. As a result, our time was cut short, and when we pointed out the error, they claimed they were “doing us a favor” by allowing us to stay until our original end time. While the timing issue itself wasn’t a major problem, their attitude left a negative impression.
