Hudson Bar

This is my favorite of the three bars in the Hudson. It’s spacious enough so everyone has somewhere to sit, but the atmosphere is still intimate and romantic because the seats are far apart and you have privacy. Drinks are pretty pricey, so be ready to spend some serious dough. Or come on a date and have him pay, advised my friend.

I came here for my birthday gathering a week after it had… reopened, I suppose. I made a reservation for a table in the back for 20 people and there was absolutely no fuss. Not even a minimum spend, which I was surprised… maybe because it wasn’t all too packed/​popular yet?
The space was great — theres plenty of floor and seating space. A bar up front, seating all around the sides, and a dance floor in the middle. The area we sat at was comfortable and not too crowded, though the lighted floor was almost too bright for us.
The crowd was all sorts of people — the rowdier crowd, the «chiller» crowd, etc. All kinds of people from all sorts of places.
Drinks — the drinks here are huge. A single was poured like a double, and a double filled the entire glass.
Music was excellent — old stuff, new stuff — great DJ that evening.
Great place by Columbus Circle.
