Lazy Point

The name of the bar says all. Lazy describes this place perfectly. The cocktail I had was missing at least 50% of the ingredients listed in the description. That only left gin, not Fords as the menu described, but a cheap gin, and lemon. There was so much lemon juice it was like drinking a lemon cleaning product for $ 14. Many other items listed on the very small menu, they did not have. They were out of most Beers, the gin described in the cocktail ingredients, they had vodka at all. How can you run a bar without those basics? My guess is this place is about to fold and the owners have given up. Don’t waste your time or make the mistake of wandering in.

This place is cute!
Feels like I’ve been transported out to a beach house in new England, even in the middle of November. the drinks are good and they have great happy hour deals. The crowd is young and trendy– probably a bunch of people that work in soho. I felt a tiny bit out of place coming from work in business professional attire– the place is super casual. I just wish for a Thursday night (relatively early, like 7pm) the music would’ve been kept down a little. I felt like the place was a little to «turnt» for an evening. I will probably be back though since I overall had a good experience!

The owner is absolutely insane. As mentioned in previous reviews, he assaults his customers and clearly should not be in the service industry. Or running any sort of business.
Contemplating taking further action than just a Unilocal review, but figured this was a good place to start. He was extremely inappropriate and rude — that’s as much as I’ll say. It’s a shame because my office liked going here (it’s right around the corner from where we are located), but it seems as though everyone had a unpleasant experience this last time. I definitely do not trust the alcohol or food they are serving because of this man.

Have not been back in a bit but returned this past
Thursday and was happy to see the food program
in place. The Fish Tacos are some of the best
i have had; along with the Bloody Mary Oysters.
The owner Gustav was super sweet as my friend
had a bit too much to drink and dropped her glass
and he was kind enough to buy her a drink.
Our company recently moved into the area and we will
be making this our favorite watering hole for sure.
Music was great, the beach vibe reminded us of Montauk
as I can’t wait for summer. Great vibe, hospitality and music all
in Hudson Square.

Came here for a pre-​dinner drink around 7pm on a Wednesday. Had a good few people and a DR playing good music. Drinks were totally fine — I had a prosecco based cocktail which was really tasty. Nothing incredibly special but I feel like it might be better later on as a place to finish an evening. May go back if in the area but wouldn’t travel to go there.

Shout out to Unilocal on this one. Lazy Point was truly a great find in a part of town where upbeat bars aren’t always the norm.
Located off the beaten path close to the west side highway, Lazy Point is a fun bar that resembles a beach club. From the décor to the music, you will have a hard time thinking you’re not steps away from the ocean.
Aside from the atmosphere, the drinks are also excellent. The list of drink specials are creative and the alcohol selection is great. Lots of variety and more than the just the basic version of each spirit (especially rum).
They are also very accommodating and seem to be hell bent on doing anything to keep your spirit high. I asked if they made a certain cocktail, which they didn’t. So I told the bartender what was in it, and he whipped up his own version on the spot. It turned out to be delicious. That did it for me with this place…
This is definitely one of the better bars in the area and one that will undoubtedly do well. Great drinks, jovial atmosphere and awesome music. Perfect.

I am so grateful to Lazy Point for giving my friends and I an amazing birthday experience this past weekend. From the beginning when I emailed them (via their site), they were not only super responsive — and incredibly fast in getting back to me – but once we got there, the attention was top-​notch. We reserved a little area in the back over by the DJ and we danced all night to fun music — a good mix of Top 40, classics, hip-​hop, some EDM. The décor is lovely, feels like you’re in a beachside resort. Thank you Lazy Point for making my friend’s birthday one she will never forget. Great cocktails to boot!

Feels like you’re out east– but without the pretentiousness! Great drink menu to boot! The service was definitely 5 stars. Eric the bartender was patient, recommended drinks, even made us off-​menu drinks when we asked for something specific. Even when the bar got packed, he was still attentive, and brought our drinks over to where we were sitting if he needed a few minutes. Which was another great thing! It was a party in the back, with fun music to dance to, but we hung in the front (I was catching up with a group of friends I hadn’t seen in a while), and we were able to sit and chat and hear each other without shouting. Without a doubt this is a great place to go to hang with some friends for great drinks, dancing, and hanging out. Jason you did a great job with this place!

Awesome new cocktail bar in New York. Went a couple weekends ago and had a great experience. The place is designed really cool and provides for a fun ambience. The music and cocktails were also excellent. Staff was extremely helpful and hospitable, going over the cocktail menu and making suggestions for me and my date. Top notch staff all around. Definitely will be returning to Lazy Point in the future.

Amazing incredible cocktails are in this new bar which
happened to be one of my old stomping grounds (Anchor)
and stomp I did. had some of my best times at this spot in the past
looks like whomever has taken over really has their act on point
as you walk in, the cool, laid back vibe of the beach takes over your soul
its open, light and filled with pretty colors (female owned) obviously
the beets by Dre cocktail is frankly the most creative cocktail I have consumed thus far
Lazy Point differs in one major way/​U can have FUN.
A fun filled room with very good music and pretty people to boot
the restrooms are spotless which is odd for a busy place and the owner, Jeremy
went out of his way to take care of us and honored our reservation (easily made online) even with
a filled room.(hard to find in NYC)
Hospitality, great drinks and a cool vibe topped with fun music will make this
one of the finest new places in NYC
a must visit

Great music, good crowd and fantastic drinks. The owner/​manager was a major buzz kill, he was standing on a chair watching the crowd. He also actually had the nerve to pick up my friends purse and try and move it without reason, which was shortly after he told us to check our coats because of security reasons. Didn’t realize he was going to be the security concern that we needed to watch for.

Kept the nautical theme, brightened décor up a million notches since Anchor Bar. No idea what this place would be like on a weekend, but on Wednesday in a snow storm, we were the only people there and it was just some good tunes, some tasty cocktails and like sitting in my living room if my living room was the Surf Lodge in Montauk.

I had been a big fan of Anchor Bar (previously in the same space) and enjoyed the great music and dancing many times. The new owner has done an excellent job redecorating: the dark, lodge, dive-​y feel of Anchor Bar has been replaced with bright white walls, picnic tables and beach house feel. The music is also still great and on point. While this is all excellent, my 1 star rating is not unwarranted …
At a friend’s birthday party last night, a girl and one of my friends started dancing on one of the banquets, the owner came over and pretty aggressively pulled them down. Fine, you have new furniture and you would like it to be maintained, reasonable enough.
However, a few moments afterwards my friend and this same girl were dancing, just dancing!, but a small circle had surrounded them, at which point the owner came over, forcibly moved over the girl and preceded to smack my male friend, IN THE FACE, at least 4 – 5 times!!! after which he grabbed his jaw and shook his face!!! It was literally the most innocent, benign fun and the owner did not take kindly to it. Completely out of proportion to the «offense»!
In summary, the place is fine (as many other places in the city are), but if you are assaulting customers, I would confidently say I’m not going to be making a return visit.

If you aren’t at Lazy Point on a Saturday night, I hope you are at home in bed because I can’t imagine a better place to spend your night!!! I came here last weekend to celebrate my birthday and the owners and staff are simply the most wonderful, caring, accommodating, friendly and wonderful people in the whole NYC bar scene. They go ABOVE and beyond to make sure you and all your guests have the most amazing celebration and truly make the night, from welcoming my party with so much enthusiasm at the door to reserving us a table at no charge, complimentary champagne, tending to us so kindly all night long and even hailing us cabs at the end of the night… serisouly, am I at a bar or am I in heaven?!
The space is recently renovated and it is beatiful inside, with an expanded dance floor! The overall space is not too large, but the perfect spot for a more initmate party (although by no means small. I think we were about 15 – 20 people in my group and we had a large table for ourselves and room to dance!) with a DJ in the back and more tables up front and seats at the bar if you don’t feel like busting a move. The pace picks up around midnight or so when the bar starts to fill up. The DJ plays hands down the funnest music I have ever heard, with a bit of everything from current hip hop and r&b, the BEST throwbacks and some top 40. I have been here 3 times on a saturday and never left without dancing for at least 3 hours. The bartenders are lovely, drinks are strong, and crowd is friendly and attractive.
Bottom line — whether it’s a special occassion or just a night to go out and dance — GO TO LAZY POINT!!! you won’t regret it.
I can’t wait to come back earlier in the night to try their cocktails and new hamptons-​inspired food menu!

I’ve been to and have thrown many parties in NYC for birthdays and celebrations, but never have I personally experienced such service and quality that was provided at Lazy Point. It started before I even stepped into the bar itself or tried their drinks (which are delicious btw).
I was planning a party for 2 friends’ birthdays with a guest list of 100+. Believe me, for a guest list that big, it’s impossible to find a place that’s not over the top, trashy, overcrowded, or expensive. However when I dropped a message in Lazy Point’s inquiry section, Jason (the owner) was not only quick to respond, but accommodating in every way. He doesn’t believe in minimums or fees, only throwing a good party. I wish every other bar owner had the same values.
He reserved the whole back space for our party (our group ended up taking most of the place). The vibe is super laid back and casual. Music, mixed with classic 90s and top 40s, and at a good volume (shoutout to Jeremy the DJ). The drinks were creative, affordable, and fun. Jason not only checked in from time to time, but threw in extra perks that blew us away. It’s rare and amazing that it feels like the bar owner is co-​hosting a party with you.
Thank you Jason for bringing hospitality back into NYC’s bar scene. Lazy Point, welcome to the neighborhood. You got a whole party of people who will be spreading your name.

have you ever been to hudson square? have you ever HEARD of hudson square?
until last night, my answer was «no» to both.
lazy point is an interesting spot to grab drinks when you want to venture out of your happy hour «comfort zone»
between their homemade beet juice and something called «rose jelly,» all their cocktails are super creative and tasty. highly recommend the oaxacan made with mezcal.
possibly the best part of the evening (besides the DJ spinning 80s) was the owner jason who was super nice and accommodating. he was really stoked to have us and brought over some delicious tequila shots with the bill.
despite the trek, we were all really glad we checked it out!

The beet cocktail may sound odd but it’s delicious and so inventive. I also loved the rose bramble!
Can’t say enough great things about the former Anchor space. The same great vibe is in tact, but has also been improved. I feel like I stepped inside one of those lobster roll shacks in Montauk or am even at the less pretentious, indoor Surf Lodge. Really relaxed, really fun and love that it’s located in such a historical nyc building (look it up – that building is actually pre civil war).
Excited to see what the food menu will bring but either way, this is easily one of the best new nyc bars I’ve been to in a long time.

Read about this new cocktail bar in the New York Times on Wednesday in the location of an old bar I used to love and had to check it out!
Really some of the best cocktails I’ve had in NYC, and I’m somewhat of an aficionado. Great small plates, and I LOVED the décor: think a really cool beach house in montauk.
I work in the area and recommend this place to anyone in Hudson Square/​West Soho area. I’m definitely booking my next party at this spot. My new favorite place!!!
