The Otheroom Albee Square Reviews
Very cute spot for a nice drink on a date
Nice beer & wine bar. Not the friendliest bartender but cool atmosphere , would recommend for a date
Great music, vibe. Great for dates
Great time there Sunday night with Lee! She's friendly, quick and attentive; she definitely had everything running smooth and chill. A hidden gem in the West Village. Heard about here through a friend of mine and all I can say I was not misinformed at all. Thanks again Lee A.
The Otheroom is a vibe. I was brought here on a first date (that failed) but I continue to visit because the atmosphere and service are so good. The chairs could use a revamp, but that’s only if you sit at the bar. There’s a huge couch in the back that can sit like 4 couples and candle lit and dark you can easily sneak a kiss. The otheroom is worth the journey that far west, trust me.
great little spot! A go-to for a casual hang but can also be a perfect start to a night out. They have a well curated selection of craft beers and wines - plus some liquor selection. John helped us pick out our beers and they were all excellent so have to give him a shout! Would be a cute little before or after drink for a date too.
Really delicious drinks, amazing atmosphere and staff was super friendly. Would recommend for anyone/ groups looking for a casual night out with a cozy atmosphere.
Cute local beer/wine bar, love that it’s a more small intimate experience!
Such a cute date spot complete with mood lighting! They’ve truly mastered an atmosphere here. The bartenders were also so, so cool and nice. One of them looks like Jim from the office if you want something close to a celebrity sighting. Overall great experience thank you!
I've been here three times, and two out of the three it was because every other bar in this area was packed. Don't get me wrong: this isn't a last resort type of place. Far from it -- literally, it's kind of far to get to from the main thoroughfare of the West Village. It might look like it's packed on the outside (especially on a Thursday/Friday/Saturday evening), but usually you can find seats inside. The place has an interesting set up. There's a sleek leather booth running along one entire wall with three tables. These are probably the prime seats in the house, so to speak. The space is bigger than it looks on the outside, but you can tell they're not trying to maximize real estate to cram more people in. They are really all about creating that intimate vibe. Great date place. Drinks are on the pricey side. Cocktails run from $15-18 last time I checked, but they are a better deal, in my opinion, than wine. For a couple of bucks more you get a delicious concoction that is STRONG. Have gotten the Negroni and the Old-Fashioned. Both are excellent. You can nurse one drink all night and feel very good walking out.
Great local place to relax with friends. Not a wild and crazy bar. Only serves wine and beer. Low lighted, candle lit atmosphere. Staff is friendly. Lost my debit card and emailed them; they communicated super efficiently and gave me piece of mind that my card was safe with them. Didn't overcharge my card for leaving it there. Recommended stop on your places to see in West Village!
Everything I expected. It's a famous jazz supper club. Okay drinks. Food better than expected. Little tables, packed-to-the-gills with 8 people! The music volume is not too loud. Best jazz performers in the world aspire to this place. Tip: if it's a hot performance, do all you can to get priority seating. We did it with an Amex card reservation and booking farrrrrrrr in advance. Otherwise: plan on being packed like sardines and standing at the bar. Suckers.
Intimate, low lit, casual and reasonably priced West Village bar, with a counter area and a few nooks in the back. Cocktails, beer and wine options are listed on a blackboard and kind service. Seems perfect for dates!
Cozy cute vibe spot and comfy to boot! Pricey for sure but the atmosphere is certainly there for it...
Very date-y vibe. The drinks were stiff and I loved them! The place was fairly dim-lit and was perfect. If you sit in the backroom, you might have a lot of people going in and out of the restroom. The restrooms are candle-lit only (no other source of light). There is no food here.
Very vibey place, with the side benches and low chairs in the back room; really an intimate spot and perfect for date night. Found the staff to be very friendly. It's more of a chill place than upscale, which can be a nice change of pace. Only knock is that the cocktails are kind of one-note; tasty but nothing special about them, so if you're going for that 'wow' drinking experience, this isn't it. But if you want each others' company to be the star, this is a great choice.
Nice cozy dark place for drinks! Came on a Saturday night, music was playing pretty loud and it was hard to hear sometimes, but it was definitely a lovely atmosphere. I recommend coming on the earlier side to guarantee seats, otherwise you might be left standing on a Friday or Saturday night. And if you're ever in Venice, seems like this place has a location there as well.
I wanted to rate this higher. I really love this venue and the drinks and location because it’s romantic, dark, tucked away, not crowded. But we had a negative altercation with some other patrons in this bar who were trying to start fights with the bartender, it was just uncomfortable.
Otherroom must be the darkest bar in Manhattan. If that’s what you’re looking for (and there are reasons it might be), this is your place. The cocktails aren’t bad, but are nothing special. It’s main draws (other than dim lighting) is that it’s easy to get in and there aren’t many bars of that size that far West in the Village.
I really do love this place, though the bartenders can be a tad elitist (borderline rude) they are still tolerable and serve the drinks quick. What I like the most about this place is the atmosphere, it's very dark and cozy - it's a place to hide from the hustle and bustle of the world and enjoy some classy intimacy. Great beer and wine selection too... Bartenders: cheer up darlings, we are people too!
Not the same as 2019. Drinks are not consistent, music is too loud and is no longer charming in the sense of being transformed back into the 1990s filled with lust and love as if you're living the life of Jesse and Celine in Before Sunrise.
Great service....but not a comfortable stool to sit on. "Yeah, they're all rickety," said the manager. This place is falling apart: time to invest in some basic comforts like chairs that your customers will want to sit on! There are too many other (comfortable) spots to have a drink in the neighborhood to rest on your laurels, The Other Room. Jeez!
I didn’t enjoy any of the cocktails I ordered - especially for $19 a pop. Orient Express around the corner is a much better option.
