I understand it was a Tuesday but the view was off. Music option was not lounge & the lighting wasn’t the best to make it more intimate. Sushi is great thou.

Unique and wonderful!!! The pictures only tell half of the story. It is quite the cozy bar with excellent service and terrific cocktails. Try the romantic nook for a more private, personal experience with your loved one. Definitely a keeper!

Beautiful interior, very nice people, the music was too loud for conversation. Won't return, as you can't make a connection with your friends/associates

They had the AC on and it was incredibly cold which is odd bc it’s winter in NYC. The drinks were good but the service was pretty bad. We had to continually go up to the bar and get our drinks bc the servers were just hanging out up in the front. When they did come to the back they didn’t seem to see us waving at them to put in an order. Then again maybe because it was so dark or maybe the music was too loud… but at the minimum they could’ve checked on our table as we were maybe the only other table in the back.

Be careful making a reservation here! Mine was not honored because they were closed for a private event. No apologies, just sent me scrambling to find another place. Will never go back.

The place was pretty empty because we had gone there early for pre-drinks but such a lovely space with great ambience. The service was amazing and everyone was so friendly. Drinks were amazing! Will definitely revisit next time I’m in the city.

Drinks are overpriced, only had bar snacks like almonds, cheap cheese and olives. After 9 the place was full of underaged kids dancing on the tables. The waitress was nice, but she brought our check when we were still enjoying our drinks. Somebody stole my wallet. Never again, worst place in Manhattan

I reserved a table for 4:00 PM on Open Table only to arrive and find out the bar opened at 5:00. Why list on Open Table if you aren't open? Management did nothing to help.

Had a really great experience at Celon Bar & Lounge. It was my birthday and they made it very special. We had drinks which were excellent and the food was really great too! We returned later after going to the theater and the vibe was upbeat and fun... great mix of music!
