It was alright – I went to naked Lunch at the recommendation of several people, but I dont see what the big deal was. It was a good social scene, they played good music and the bar service was reasonably fast. Yes there was a cover charge but the drinks were not overly expensive. The mixed drinks were not so great so I stick with beer. beware it was VERY crowded but they had a coat check which was an added plus for a nasty rainy night. Good place for singles. The bathroom only had 1 stall=long line!

Fire The Bouncer & Buy Real Alcohol! – Naked lunch can be a great time, BUT be forewarned that (1) the bouncer will very annoyingly ask all groups of guys to show "gratitude" to get in - $5 each should do, but realize a $7 cover usually follows (2) when you don't specify the alcohol brand in your drink, you're getting what me and my friends considered the worst alcohol we had ever tasted.

Fun Scene – I recently had my birthday party here after many recommendations from different people. I was a bit nervous having never been to Naked Lunch. As I soon realized, worrying was a waste of time. The music was great, the crowd was fun, and everyone had a great time. The place definitely gets croweded, but its totally bearable. On negative...I had contacted the owner many times about a drink special for my guests. I was told over and over again that it would be available, however it appeared that it did not exist.

Way too cheesy – This place has the nerve to charge a cover for crappy eighties music, an annoying bridge&tunnel crowd, and a doorman that can't manage capacity, creating such a crowded environment that you're constantly getting pushed from all sides, and not just at the bar. If you're looking for a fraternity party crowd and atmosphere, this is your place. If you're looking for something cooler, skip it. I'm never going back.

Makes me want to be sick – Absolutely the sleaziest, worst bar in NY. The crowd is horrible and even the staff feels oily. The music selection depressess me.

Good Times – 7 buck charge to get in is BS, but the bar is nice. Wish there was more dance room and the place isn't the biggest so it can get crowed.

Good view – Tough to get passed the front door, and the cover charge was a deterrant. However, once inside good music and a bevy of delectable women changed all of the first impressions. Well worth the effort!

Wow, can Soho get anymore cheesy! I'm tired of all these tourist traps for college kids from the Mid-West jumping around singing 80's songs and hugging each other as if they are the best of friends only to realize that once you graduate, the party is over and you'll never see each other again. Please all you cheesy, Abercromie wearing, beer bottle sipping people stay out of Manhattan....this isn't Hoboken!

check it out for yourself – I went there on a Saturday night with my girlfriend and two other friends at around 2AM. The Bouncer/Door man says he can't let us in because there were "to many" guys, as if we were standing in line to an exclusive manhattan night spot. Anyway after coaxing the dude for a minute, he agrees to let us in on one condition, that is, if we could all "tip" him for his services. Well this was my tip, move over bro before you get steam rolled, anyway, we get in and it was exactly like an earlier post, 22... read more
