nothing special and overpriced – So lets get realistic. I've been to Stay three times in the past year and its one of those places which gets worse each time you go. I consider the LES to be the dingiest area of Manhattan and I go there for good deals and sloppy drunk fun. Stay randomly thinks they can charge $10-$15 per drink even though its just a dive bar on Houston Street. The bartender gave me attitude when I refused to pay my $100 tab for 7 drinks. It was totally absurd. The downstairs "VIP" area is a windowless baseme... read more

Awesome Birthday!~ – So, I planned this the week of my birthday and everything went smoothly. I was so scared b/c I didn't pick a place and when I called other venues in the LES, I was told to try Stay. Rob Koda, helped me set up a table which was no charge and no charge at the door. The place wasn't that packed either on a Saturday night. I could walk and move around lol. Later the VIP downstairs open which had more dancing. One of the best birthdays ever! Thanks Again!~

Kickin in 2009 – Hey guys I applaud you for having an amazing party! The deal was sweet. Everything went smooth and the music was on the money. See you all again less intoxicated!

One shared bathroom for the whole bar---Pathetic!!!! – Spent more time on the ass-gasket line than chatting with friends! What good is the 2 additional bathrooms in the basement if they're "off-limits". BTW, No cuties and the drinks were horrible!

Boring bar with nothing going on – This bar is NOT a good place to go if you're looking for some fun. Boring! Bad sound system and odd layout. No hotties and one bathroom.

best birthday spot! – I had my bday party last Saturday and we had so much fun. Bartenders were super friendly too. We didn't reserve a table, but 14of us could easily find seating and tables. Good music, good ambiance! We loved the fact that i was not crazily packed.!

Great Birthday Spot! – I was searching high and low for a nice lounge for my boyfriend's surprise birthday party, I didn't want the average expensive place with a lot of attitude and drama. I'm glad to say that is not what happened at all. I booked the VIP table for the price of 1 bottle (great) and that was it. All my guests got in easily and didn't have to wait in line, the service was great, they allow cupcakes for birthdays (try sugar sweet sunshine bakery around the corner from here- it's open late) Some people here hav... read more

Business response:

Thank you for the review and we're glad you had a wonderful time. For future reference there are 2 additional bathrooms downstairs.

Downtown heaven for an Uptown guy!!! – This bar is quintessential New York. I like a bar that has an eclectic mix and Stay is certainly that. I've been there a dozen times in the past 3 years and the crowd is always diverse; just what you would expect on the lower east side of Manhattan. Maybe it's because the owners are so diverse themselves. One is Filipino/Polish American, one Thai American and the other American/American (the one with the "body"). I've been there when the mix was African American and Asian American and a... read more

nice modern bar – My going away celebration at STAY this past weekend was an fun. I didn't like the fact that I had to ask for my complimentary bottle of champagne, they should just have given it to me upon arrival when they seated my group. The male bartender with the french accent in the front was really sweet but slow as a turtle. I counted at least 7 or 8 people waiting on drinks. Not good. The vibe inside was ok, typical lower east wanna-be hipsters filled with mostly Europeans and to my dismay not as diverse as I expec... read more
