Sons of Essex, New York NY

Me and my friends came to NYC from San Fran for my sisters bachelorette weekend and we were told this was the place to go, and IT SO WAS! The bouncer was so sweet, he let us in even though it was late and it seemed like they might have been closing soon. He brought us to the hostess who ended up being the manager and she brought us to a private section in the back that had a little dance floor and a dj! We got a bunch of shots and drinks and annoyed the bartenders so much but they were so nice, the manager brought us a free bottle of champagne with little fireworks! BEST TIME EVER! We will be back! We love you Ashley!

My boyfriend and I frequent this place every single Sunday and have been doing this for months. We love the staff and the vibe; everyone is extremely nice and hospitable which is why we have become fast regulars. There's usually a lot of birthday parties happening so it's festive and chill. Food and drinks are delicious:)

Came here for a bachelorette party and the staff was beyond amazing. They kept bringing over sparklers and cheering. So much fun!

Celebrated a friend's birthday here during their Sunday Brunch.

We got there at 2: 55 on 4/14 for our 3pm reservation. When the host (a blonde with a short blunt haircut) was informed she responded with an exhausted rude attitude "no, you're early go get a drink at the bar"

In a very friendly manner I showed her my email confirmation which said 3pm. She rolled her eyes and said she would get the manager.

Despite the very inhospitable start:

•The DJ was great
•Our waiter Rachel was beyond warm & amazing
•The food was lovely
•The crowd was extremely fun, everyone and i mean everyone was dancing

After the birthday parade and many shots, the night was a success.

(Tip to management: the host can truly make or break the experience at your establishment.)

Drinks get a little pricey after 9p.m. But when the d.j. Is playing good music from the 80s & 90s they let u dance.
