GoldBar New York
Had the chance to check out GoldBar on Broome Street last night.
First, from a designer standpoint, the venue is pure ostentatious excess. The walls are covered in gold painted skulls, the ceiling has huge chandeliers and the tables are made to look like giant gold bracelets. There are also these spooky looking paintings on the walls – what you’d expect to see in a castle, but with a modern twist to them. All in all, I really liked the design of this place. Someone had an innovative vision and executed it nicely.
The main room is a good size. Not too big. A bit intimate. The music was the same hiphop/house mix you’d get in any lounge and the volume was right. Bit of dancing, bit of conversation.
The crowd was nice. A mix of euro-trash (and I mean that in the nicest way), young professionals and pretty girls. Everyone seemed friendly and in the mood for celebrating, although this impression is likely the result of our own enthusiasm mixed with lots of redbull and vodka. I think everyone in the main room was getting bottle service. There’s a bar area in the front as well.
Definitely calling this a proper spot. Go there.
