Reviews of M1-5 Lounge (Night Club)

Christina Rufo

Came here on a few different occasions and always had a good time. I've been there when they had live music, a good DJ and a crowd for Friday late happy hour. Depending on when you go, there could be a line. They offer tables but don't really think its necessary.

Karla George

Bartenders are not great while drinks are too expensive. Place was empty so they kicked everyone out to close early. But place is big.

dave I

Cool spot with a warehouse vibe. I like the private tables and the huge oval bar. Nice stage if you are lucky enough to be there when live music happens. Bartenders are friendly. Good happy hour too!

Delroy Brooks

M1_ 5Lounge it is a great place to hang out with friends and family members I give a five star ygm

Joshua Bentley

Great music, attentive (and attractive) staff.

Bethany Asseldonk

The place is in the middle of Chinatown and great for a night life spot. However, it's not so lively as I expected it. The drinks are expensive and some of the staffs are not friendly.

Jason Westerkon

Fun club/lounge to dance and enjoy larger events with friends. Prices are on the high side, but not exorbitant as far as clubs go. Music was pretty good overall. Overall vibe is fairly young. Biggest issue is the laughable amount of bathrooms for both men and women. With such a large space in their basement you think they'd figure this out. Long bathroom lines mean that people a) won't drink as much, and b) spend less time with their groups, both of which result in the place not making as much money as they could.

Dima Gurschii

Best place!

Stano Priglupavec

Agressiv security. Big que, too crowdy. Inside is nice music. I enjoy party but early morning there wos fight. Be careful in dlouhá street.

Chris B

Was not sure what to expect by the outside of this place. Went there at midnight on a Saturday and had an amazing time. The bar staff was great! Danced and just had an overall great time.

Justin Diamond

Lots of private areas to chat, good bar with attentive servers. Large venue, small bathroom

Theo Goodman

Huge bar with a club vibe that's good for large groups and dancing.

Bob Fancher

A gem of a place with a store front so small you might walk right by and never see it. Inside you'll find a dimly lit, quiet place to enjoy a drink, a quick bite, or a full meal. The full bar is EXTREMELY well stocked and the bartender knows his biz. My hands down favorite item on the menu is the Merquez burger. With spicy lamb, feta and fig preserves, it's a treat you won't want to miss.

J Lazcano

Great place to see a band

P-Dash Media

Very nice space, great sound set, pretty easy parking and the food was good.

James DeLayo

Solid drinks and super friendly bartenders. Their mules are amazing, and the bites from the kitchen are great. Quiet atmosphere if you show up early, and a great crowd later in the night.

Mel Jiang

hosting a lot of events. Bartenders know how to make drinks

Malinka Seneviratne

Great place with great music and people.

o white

Super chill spot!

Datesta Nickle

Went for an art show I had such a great time. The drinks where really good.

Katherine Fajardo

Went to a video game event that's hosted by Sonic Boombox and it was a good turn out. Live DJ and gaming.

sophia hicks

Me an my folks had a lovely time,,the food was tasty

La Toya Lewis

This is a great spacious lounge that I’ve only been to on weekdays - so I can’t speak for the weekends. I had a birthday gathering here and the manager was pretty excellent and attentive. Would recommend for age 30+ on weekdays!

Kanushree Jain

This is pretty cool lounge in the downtown area. I came here for NYC dance week and had a blast dancing with my friends. They play all the current pop songs and the vibe is pretty upbeat. The bar is situated in the middle of the room and there is seating all around as well as plenty of space to dance in the middle. A nice place to chill!

Helen Zhang

The atmosphere is welcoming and very open. The high ceilings really make this place cozy, and all the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The lights are great, and so are the prices! They have strong drinks, so no complaints. There's room for a beer pong table and I think they also had a pool table. I definitely recommend this place whether you're going out or catching up with friends.

Scott Webber

Huge venue, decent inside. Kind of pricey at $14 for a mixed drink for what the place is.

Dawn Cummings

Celebrated birthday here great choice! The energy I this place was fun good music and food

Miss Karen

Went to the Pancakes n Booz event. The area was pretty full but it had the full round bar where i walked around mostly. It was a great time. Would do it again.

Yasakani 888

I'm an original customer there along supporting an pop culture gaming event called Mashfest. Its very lively around 8pm and the Bartenders there are lovely and mixes great drinks. I would suggest it to many that enjoy some spots at Lower Manhattan.

Ahm Lett

I tried to order a simple glass of beer and the "bartender" told me she couldn't help me because she was opening a bottle of wine. I guess that wine bottle opening required all her remaining brain cells. Thanks. Just saved me $8

Kiya blake

The DJ tonight was awesome! The drinks were pretty good and the food was great!

Tiffany Sellers

Nice place with great nachos

Antionette

Worst experience ever. I reserved a table for my birthday. When I get there to receive my bottles they claimed they had nothing left but Patron. How are you a bar with no alcohol for bottle service that I reserved a week in advance. Not only that I had to personally go to the bar to receive my bottle service, which took 15 minutes to get acknowledged by a bartender. They also had no bottles of water only tap water. This is the worst service ever. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The bouncers are extremely rude. No one checked on us the whole time we were in the VIP. We paid $600 only to receive a small bottle of Patron, a bottle of champagne, 5 shots and 6 Coronas. Will never return to this spot. The only thing that made us have fun was my crew.

Kassandra Matos

Was definitely alot of fun! Service was great, workers were friendly, music was good, food was good, people there were friendly, had no problems, definitely a great experience

Josh Dietrich

Good atmosphere, and decent pricing. Went there for a private event and it was great!

Neikay Manuel

Cozy place. Love the look of the place. Would love tp do a party here with friends. Good food, its spacious. Friendly and quick bartenders.

Jerry H

The place is nice but it was pretty empty for a Saturday night. They have a giant screen where they project video mixes, which gives an interesting mix of lights in the lounge. The music wasn’t great that day, not a lot going on on the dancefloor.

Leyni R.

So much fun here!! Games are always a great time. Drinks were good, food was delish!! The music was great too, danced the night away and it wasn't crowded at all!! Great place to be after work on a Friday night.

Javier Polanco

9$ for a beer and 3 for wardrobe, music aceptable but club a bit empty

Gnire Kone

Went for a birthday party, the place was nice. Seating was only for those who reserved a spot. Drink we okay, not worth the price though

Christie Ray Harrison

Fairly typical event venue space, large bar in the middle is nice because it’s 360 degrees/round shape so people can be on all sides and more spread out throughout the venue. Food is super average.

Brian Lee

Nice atmosphere and good vibes hour hour and dj, was on point

Tanya Suarez

Great music and solid drink menu. Crowd was a little young for me (36).

Ricardo Durand

Got a free bottle of champagne, really good service and music. Bar can be a little bit pricey though but overall good spot. The crowd is mix leaning more towards the older crowd

richyrich1008

Great place fo kick back, drink like a camel, eat like an explorer. Great staff, cool tunes, and ambiance.

Elizabeth Tam

The venue has a bit of an upscale dive bar scene and is good for large groups of people.

Mike Peters

A spot where the booths have curtains and on a Tuesday night you can catch people playing video games. They also have a basketball midway game and a pool table.

AGlow_93 Butler

The place is great. Good place to chill and have a good time. The price is good and everything.

jatin kumar

Great place

Quintin G

I go here only for specific events so idk if that affects my review. But regardless, this place is pretty nice. I like the decor and their wings, the drinks are made good as well.

Matthew Bennett

The venue and music was great, which is a shame because the staff (bartenders) were absolutely rude. I was part of a large party and two females bartenders in particular acted like we were an issue for them. They also tried to steal a friend's phone. Horrible given the venue was great.

Javier Evans

Great lounge located in SoHo. Nice atmosphere and great cabana seating

Christina Pagan

Great venue with a lot of room that can hold a lot of people. Great for sporting events because there are TVs everywhere. The lighting is great for pictures as well. Great vibes in that bar; highly suggested.

Javier Reyes

Great space for dancing, drinks were great. Came here twice for birthdays. They play everything, hip hop, top 40, edm. Definitely want to go back here. Also awesome crowd and staff was great.

Victor A. Marin

This place is awesome. I've been here multiple times and the music they play is great. It's a great atmosphere to be any night of the week. Fridays are recommended due to the video/music playlist. Wednesday are also great due to half off drinks from 4-12, can't get any better than that.

Lailah Boyd

I just celebrate my 50th Birthday on August 4, 2017! My Birthday Celebration was Awesome. I had a BLAST. All my guess enjoyed themselves and had a wonderful time. The Music, Food and Drink was good. I Love the Diversity of the people! It's very clean and the service is Great! I am so glad my Party was a success.

Jack Law-Warschaw

If you like your bar overcrowded, deafeningly loud, with horrible music and not enough Bartenders this place is for you! Also if you leave your ID or Credit Card there and go and get it the next day you have to argue with the manager to get your rightful property back. I would give this establishment 0 stars if I could but one will have to do.

K S

We hosted our corporate holiday party here (200+ people) and everything was perfect! Great staff, great food, great atmosphere. Everyone had a great time, they accommodated our every request, we will definitely be returning. Thanks Nik!

Michelle Kinshasa

I enjoyed my the workers are friendly & so were the people but the bar attendants are slow but all in all had a good time.

Soul Cheung

Had a great time doing my bday at m1-5. Spacious, good music, and casual spot.

Srob Oberman-Breindel

This place had an excellent vibe. The music was good for like three straight hours. I liked how there was more than one section to chill. Fast service with strong and cheaper drinks than average. Dying to go back actually

Michelle Graham

Cool unpretentious bar. Really enjoyed myself there

Darneill Jones

Great place to have a venue.

Danielle Young

It's a large space, and the music is decent. We were there early, it wasn't busy and it took my friends and I 20 minutes to get one drink, with several bartenders behind the bar. The food was nothing special.

Jeanne C. Majors

Nice ambience

Calie P

Its my job local hangout from Apicha. Food great. Most bartenders kool. Except one. The tall doofy bearded guy. Hes dumb n rude. I asked for a amaretto with cream. His reply to me was. ' that sounds disgusting' thats bad to be verbal on your own opinion to a customer. I was pist n insulted. I didnt let him serve me. He needs to learn how to keep quiet and learn about different types of drinks. He needs to be fired.. My company, Apicha is there every week.

Jozelle Anderson

It's a fine establishment, I went on a Wednesday night so there wasn't much going on. The whiskey mojito and the nachos were great!

Rafael Yau

The space is pretty big so lots of room for people to dance. The bouncers are pretty shady. most of the time let hot girls skip in front of the line and sometimes don't ID them. Drinks are decent 7 for beer and 10 for cocktails seems pretty standard for Manhattan. Overall its ok lounge for the younger group.

The Notorious Peoples Bean

Friendly Staff. Amazing food, Drinks and events. Clean Facilities.

Tim O.

Fun place and definitely worth a visit. They have all kinds of different parties and events hosted here so check in with them and see. Plenty of space, dance floor, DJ booth, private booths and a pool table.

daysha padia

Best spot for afterwork drinks

Jasmine Williams

My experience was not the greatest. I was there to celebrate someone's birthday. The place was empty. It's a very large space so with few people it just seems vacant. There were a few people art the bar. The drinks were ok and about $15. I ordered 4 shots and that came up to almost $70. Thats slightly more than ordering 4 regularly sized drinks. As such, I did not tip. Within a few mins one of the bar girls comes over and basically wants to know why I didn't tip. It felt so uncomfortable and so out of place. My friend requested to see the manager who offered an apology and free drinks. We didn't take the offer. It was very offputting. I and some of my friends left shortly after. The food was basic. Music was ok. Safe to say I will not be returning.

Harrison Kanarick

Great place, excellent bartenders, would come back anytime. They have a beer pong table which is awesome.

Briana Rodriguez

I would give it zero stars if I could. I paid for bottle service for my birthday that was NOT worth it at all. The place is a bar with a HORRIBLE DJ that plays songs from 2005. The chaser I order for the alcohol was pineapple juice that was literally yellow water & coke that was so flat there was no type of bubbles in it. I spoke to the manager & he said there was nothing he could do becuase I was not charged for the chasers & he already gave me a 40$ discount. The worst service I’ve ever had. Will never be coming here again.

Robert Calhoun

Nice little hang out spot.

Ivy Brown

Went to Mashfest here last Tuesday....cool experience outside of the bartender trying to give me the wrong drink because she wasn’t listening properly.

Pankaj Chitrakar

Hit or miss - it’s away from all bars and music is it always great

Sidonie Leid

Bartenders very attentive, good music, nice crowd for after work.

Wildwood Video Archive

Awesome place to hang out. My company had their party here. Staff was great and so are the drinks

Erik Davis

Nice and spacious good vibes

Eduardo Cruz

Nice clean set up. Good food and entertainment.

Amethyst Coppedge

The atmosphere is great here I had a blast

Swati Shah

This place had decent music but attracts a very young crowd

geovanni espinal

Good place to dance eat drink and just hang with friends

J.H. Lowery

Had a great time while listening to DJ who is outstanding in his craft.

Angela Jacobs

It's an interesting place. The booths remind me of a Cabana on the beach. The place is open. My only complaint was the DJ. He never let a song play for more than 45 seconds.

isabella silva

Great place to start the night or watch a game, drinks a bit overpriced

Damienne Afeli

Went here last minute with my friends looking for a bite to eat. Big space, pool table and other games. Private booths. The food was decent. Nothing extraordinary. Service however wasn't that great. Waitress only checked on us twice, the bus boy was more attentive. We ordered a second round of food because our first order was small and waited 30 minutes for simple fries. When the waitress finally came to check on us we asked her where our order was. She looked at us confused and said "what order?" This just made things worse on top of the long wait because she never put our order of fries in. (One of my friends was pregnant and was getting upset). The waitress acted like everything was good and was like don't worry I got you and another 10 minutes we got our fries. If it was relatively busy at the time of our visit we would have been understanding, but it was fairly empty at the time we went and there were 2 3 other girls serving at the bar. She should have provided better service.

Sheela Mika

Place had a nice atmosphere but staff were not attentive at all. Our drinks were incorrect and someone had replaced sugar with salt.

Veronica Windley

Great place! The food and drinks are excellent!

James Park

The atmosphere is pretty cool with an island bar in the middle. It's a fun place to catch up with your friends but not a place for clubbing.

Mariam Somarriba

Had my birthday party here and the satff was super friendly and professional. Thank you. ❤️

bo abel

Great place,Good music, good crowd, wonderful staff and security!

Shereese Trumpet

Perfect for the large party we had. Music and drinks

Jocelyn Weyz

Great place to celebrate with friends or simply go dance, except the bartenders, they are horrible!! They drink while on duty and give Poor service, after my 3rd drink they gave me nothing but water and lemon on my margarita! I went to the bartenders and they said if you want liquor you have to pay, mind you I already paid for a margarita and got water with lemon! They should fire these unprofessional people!

Tris Park

The location is dirty and the bartender is rude. Find somewhere else to spend your money.

Kyoko Heshiimu

It was a nice venue to display art at. The artists had to supply their own lighting but there was a lot of space to include many artists. The bar was big and had many bartenders so didn't have to wait long for a drink. There was a bathroom too.

Camilla S

Gracious, large room. Accommodating staff.

Antoine Suber

That's my third time going and it get's better every time.

Sadia Afrin

Came here on a Saturday night. Extremely rude staff and horrible customer service. Literally disrespected us and told us to get out we were taking to long to sign the receipt!! It wasn’t even the time to close yet. Drinks are diluted. Super loud place. Bad choice of music. Won’t be coming back here again.

Tracey Henry

Love this place, bar staff are really cool and they always have special events going on.. and the music is awesome!

Alex Trimpe

Went in around 8pm on a Friday night and I could literally pick any seat in the house. I imagine it gets slammed in the later hours, but if you're looking for a quick bar-food meal and drink with a larger group of friends, this is the spot. Lots of sports on the TVs, and lots of bright lights which aren't my favorite things...but the service was great. Drinks and foods are pretty standard domestic / American.

Ryan Flynn

My company just had a huge Christmas party here and I'd have to say it it went really well. We had a big raffle so there was stage where that group could read off the numbers. The DJ was playing great music and people actually had a great time and were dancing a ton. They brought a photo booth in, had a coat check. I'd say there were over 500 to 700 people there with our group and it didn't feel too crowded.

Pascal Nordgren Timshel

I had a great evening with my girlfriend. The music with its visual features was very cool. The atmosphere and crowd was great. Would have given 5 stars if the drinks were better.

Crystal Ng

Low key place with plenty of space/seating. Good price and long happy hour times.

Seth Mellin

I am sure others will like this place more than I did. Stumbled upon it with a co-worker and we couldn't really determine the vibe from outside so we decided to check it out. This place is a lounge/club which wasn't very evident to us as we passed by since we just saw a pool table. Normally, we would have left but since it was cold we opted to have a beer and use it as an in between point.p If you like clubs and lounges you may like it more than I did.

Queen Owens

Celebrated my birthday recently, I had a ball, the music was off the hook and everyone got along, friendly atmosphere, love this place

Amber W

Great drinks and music

Horace Phillips

Not a positive experience there

Tiaret Cobos

I came here for a friend's surprised birthday party. It was a little ways away for me personally but it was worth it. The place had decent music and they have a quick clean up service outside. My only thing was since we were in the booth area there are other people in their own booths but they kept coming to our area and pushing people over. That and the ladies room was horrendous, it definitely could have used a clean up. Otherwise the place was nice and the drinks were strong.

Priya Ashish

super fun but music was meh

R Lestingi

The venue looks nice, music was good and it has a large bar. I am deducting a star because the bathroom was dirty at opening and because the drinks are expensive.

Franco Dabbicco

Awesome wings

Christine A Gipson

I visited this club for the first time in 15 years. Gone is the wonderful red interior decorating as shown in the photos. The place is now painted a dour gray, reminiscent of military battleships. The crowd is a young one, 20» to early 30s. The music is a blend of hip-hits and popular tunes. The room is cavernous and perfect for any large gathering you may care to have.

Robert Ayzin

Great for any type of party. Very friendly and helpful staff and management. Clean and fun venue. Easy to work with in planning events. Owner Nick was especially nice and insightful. I've been here for retirement parties, birthday parties, going-away parties, and will be back again soon.

long bride

was here on a Saturday night right after New Years for my best friends birthday. Since it was 2 days after New Years, it wasn't as packed as it should be. Nonetheless, this place is amazing. The space is huge, clean, and gorgeous. A great place to have a great time with friends, be somewhere classy and fun without having to deal with elites. I would definitely recommend! Music and drinks are on point as well.

S P

Good clubby type environment without obnoxious lines and stingy people

Yi Min Wang

Don’t go here for brunch, I’ll tell you that.

Cactus Mobb 4 life

Mortal combat release party happens here

Natalia Alesencova

Great drinks and friendly staff.

Dez Smith

Nice relaxed great music

Tieise O'Bryant

I had a wonderful time at your establishment. The waitress was great and very attentive. I would recommend anyone to check your place out. The food was very tasty.

Nadav Aharoni

Nice. Was a little too noisy for my taste

Peter Flanagan

A very spacious bar, pricey.

Romoli Bakshi

Super fun for New Year's Eve. The crowd is generally people in their 20's, not too posh but just right, and the bartenders are super nice.

Nefertiti Martin

I always have a great time whenever I'm at this lounge. The sliders are very tasty!

Samanta English

Helpful staff and huge screens!

Louis W

Pretty crappy food, 1 bartender for 50 people waiting for drinks, bad service.

Marion Hood

This is my favorite place to turn up. Especially on fantastic Friday which is every 1,3,4 Friday of the month. Straight uptop hip hop that you can dance to. Dress to party not look cute.

Bobbie Powell

I celebrated my birthday with a couple of friends here this past weekend and I was very pleased with the service. Sunny, one of the hostesses, was very attentive and a sweetheart.

Kennia

This is the best night club I’ve been to in NYC. I hateeeeee going to the club in the city because the nick and dime you for EVERYTHING! And the staff is usually stuck up and rude, especially the bouncers. Nope. Not this place! The best security, the best bartenders and they had every hip hop song you could think of. I couldn’t stop dancing. We came to celebrate my friends birthday. She reserved a table for us and we didn’t have to pay a million dollars for bottle service. We spent our money at the bar. And the drinks are priced fairly too!!!! The place was good vibes overall. I’ll def be back!!!

Becky Lou

I came here to see a showcase that featured Saint Lucie and the place is pretty cool. Great Vibe. I'll probably go again.

Jenice Robertson

Nice atmosphere. Diverse crowd. Lit DJ

Guo m

My very first time going was last weekend for a friend's birthday gathering. Only losing one star because apparently my friend had said for us to be there by 9, but the venue failed to tell him there was a wedding party prior and we had to wait until 10 for it to be over (we got inside by 10:20pm...I know, how anal lol). The good part is while we were on line, the bouncers checked our ID so we were able to go in with no problem once the wedding party finally ended. Pettiness aside, the venue was HUGE! Very good mixed crowd in all senses of mixed, the music was banging (90's - Present), very friendly atmosphere, and I'm all about food so the food was EVERYTHING! Buffalo wings, dumplings, chicken tenders, etc. were on the menu, and reasonably priced for the amount of food given. Drinks were pricey, but it's NYC, so that's not a real complaint. I would definitely go back for a night out!

Leslie FromTexas

The night was so much fun but the sound system was horrible!!

Evelyn Scruggs

This is the new spot. Had a GREAT time. Atmosphere, music, & food is the bomb. Ppl having a good time & knowing how to act. Loved it. Dan is the man to make your drinks. Loved it

Bijan Branham

Great atmosphere and music.

Scharon Williams

Very nice space. I went for a art show. The managers were there and they were very involved in making the customers happy.

Irene Ayala

Great

Matthew Walker

Sonicboombox has some amazing parties here.

Mahesh Rajapakse

Liked the music and the service. Will be returning .. The drinks were made well also

Alyssa Theresa

Fun atmosphere for any kind of night out with friends! The Beer pong table is the perfect touch for bringing everyone together for some fun and laughter

Jemma Marens

Sports bar vibes, young crowd. Food is bar food not best not worst.

Eric Mackenzie

Security guys and bartenders are worst here. They brag about how they are awesome to be there and harassing people, they are like above customers. Music and drinks are so bad dj should be changed. Never going back.

von von

All that after work spot also party spot

Jackie Pereira

Food and drinks were good. Great music n games to play.

Frank White

Actually a really nice place!! A friend brought me there for drinks after work. I LOVED the set up of the place. Everyone had their own private booth and the music was really good as well. Had a pool table, basketball arcade game and shuffle board game inside as well. DEFINITELY recommend going there!!

Torian Mckenzie

It was a great environment will be going back again soon.
