A PLACE TO CHILL!
I was feeling adventurous and had heard about this bar for a year and a half. I was in Korea Town where this bar is located, but I really wanted a soju cocktail bar, but they were all super crowded. So, I went to VU Bar which is not as upscale as I thought it would be. But that's not a bad thing. IT'S LOCATED AT 17 W. 32ND STREET. It's at the top of this hotel, which again, I thought might be upscale, but it's a normal, moderate place as per the customers I spoke to. They said the rooms run like $130 a night and are neatly arranged.
Anyway, back to the bar. It has a daily special from 5-7 at the bar. I went after these hours. I had a Jim Beam Maple hot cider. It was good and hit the spot for dessert. The maple taste was quite intriguing to my palate.
There are nightly specials, most are about $10. They consist of a Manhattan, Cosmopolitan, and a Pickleback. They have a stocked bar and a nice assortment of beer. It's sort of a dive bar in a more elegant setting because it's on the 14th floor. It had an interesting assortment of people from all ages to all walks of life. Everyone seemed like a regular. It was comfortable, but there was a little bit of pretension in the air because the drinks were not dive bar prices. I guess the location made me expect a middle aged, affluent clientele, which was present, but it was not the whole story.
It had a nice outside rooftop sitting area, which I am sure will be great in the spring through fall, although people were outside now with the snow!
Well, if your curiosity is peaked, try it!
