    It felt like a nice hidden cellar space with a bar. The staff was friendly and attentive. There was plenty of space and seating. They had an extended happy hour and a decent selection of cocktails. Great place to hang meet up with a medium group of friends.

  • Review 2 (2024-12-29 - Rating: 5)

    This place kicks ass! Treated like I was a regular. The owner and staff were fantastic. Drinks were like I would pour. The dj was amazing. The perfect combination of local dive bar/club. Only regret is that I dont live in NYC.

  • Review 3 (2024-11-20 - Rating: 5)

    A super fun bar that has a clubby basement vibe. Beware coming during the summer, because it gets HOT! The drinks are always so strong and affordable, and depending on the DJ the music can be either mid, or the best in town.

  • Review 4 (2022-12-15 - Rating: 5)

    Very neat vibe and unique experience. The drinks were just okay, but THE DJ WAS DOPE! 10/10 recommend vibing out here just for the music remixes and choice

  • Review 5 (2024-08-25 - Rating: 5)

    Great drinks, great music! Small but fun! The margarita was amazing!

  • Review 6 (2022-08-02 - Rating: 5)

    Best place for underground comedy in Chinatown. Free standup comedy Monday nights at 6pm. Happy hour till 8:30. Frozen margs. A nice cold, dark basement bar with taxidermy.

  • Review 7 (2024-11-16 - Rating: 5)

    Love it here. I love to start my nights out in LES here. I remember coming here a couple of years ago for the first time for a goth event that was hosted here and fell in love.Get the frozen margs!!

  • Review 8 (2023-03-26 - Rating: 5)

    Weekends get very busy. Dance music all night…Since it’s underground no service when you start walking towards the back. It’s gets really hot FYI! Overall good place to dance and good techno music

  • Review 9 (2022-03-04 - Rating: 5)

    Home Sweet Home is just that place a gift that keeps on giving.Every time you go here you always have an awesome time..The bar itself is an eye popping wall full of awesomeness.The music there never tires and the staff all know what an awesome place they work at and it shows in all their attitudes....Everyone from the manager to the bartenders even the big security there have a great demeanor second to none...Gets crowded on the weekend but hey thats a charm in itself.....A carpet performance went over well with this crowd as people took many pics...Just an awesome night all round..

  • Review 10 (2023-12-22 - Rating: 4)

    Definitely a younger crowd but still fun to dance if you get there early enough to avoid the crowds and cover charge

  • Review 11 (2019-11-06 - Rating: 4)

    Stopped in on a Wednesday night at around 7 because we had about an hour and a half to kill before our dinner reservations. Home Sweet Home is a bit hidden - you have to go down a set of stairs to get in. Inside is super divey usually, that means drinks are cheap - they had happy hour until 8:30! They have tables you can sit at but if you sit in the back, there’s a very distracting disco ball that makes you feel like you’re tripping. Luckily, somebody left at one of the tables in the front, so we were able to move there. Music is also loud but if you don’t mind it, it’s a cool place to hang out.

  • Review 12 (2016-01-03 - Rating: 4)

    This place was quite an experience. The DJ was spinning old twist tracks from the 60s and there was a disco ball and taxidermist items throughout. The drinks were super cheap, but there was a cover and a paid coat check. It got pretty crowded as the night went on, but right after work you could still have a conversation.

  • Review 13 (2024-09-01 - Rating: 5)

    Cheap drinks and good 2010s music vibes but I’ll be bringing my earplugs next time.

  • Review 14 (2021-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    This is hands down the best bar. Gets really crowded however great atmosphere. Loved the Saturday night here. Drinks are also very affordable. Whiskey with ginger ale was so good😍

  • Review 15 (2021-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    Wonderful little gem in Soho. Dark, moody, offbeat basement bar. Drink and shot deals, yummy cocktails and small selection of beers- a couple craft ones. Everyone in a group could find what they need.One thing must be said:THERE IS NO FOOD HERE!

  • Review 16 (2016-10-31 - Rating: 4)

    Good underground bar with a fun disco ball on the dance floor. A good dive bar with good tunes which can range from 60s to today. A good place for a chill after work drink or a large group dancing spot.

  • Review 17 (2019-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    Perfect dark dive bar to hide in. Its so chill, the bartender forgot he was pouring me a Guinness and left the room for several minutes. When he came back, he was like, Aw, man...dont worry about it. and gave me the drink for free. 10/10

  • Review 18 (2019-05-31 - Rating: 5)

    Great vibe, cool environment, cheap (but great) drinks!

    Nothing better than home cooked food

  • Review 20 (2015-07-02 - Rating: 4)

    Wandered past here while exploring Chinatown and Little Italy on vacation and dropped in to see how it was. Pretty dead lunchtime on a weekday, but a nice cool, dark spot to drink a beer and chat with the friendly bartender. Id definitely drop by next time Im in NYC.

  • Review 21 (2019-04-29 - Rating: 4)

    I was given no trouble getting into the venue, i was on the door since i was photographing a local bands show for weird record release party. no questions asked, no obscure and threatning bouncers. i walked in and i was intrigued, but it was just the atmosphere for me. i loved how everything was set up, they even had a fog machine. i came in on one of their mostly goth kids night so that was erm intriguing but cool hearing joy division reduxes, i would be thrilled if a band asked me to shoot them live there againxoxosamantha oh photos

  • Review 22 (2022-11-06 - Rating: 4)

    4 stars because /it is what it is/ - a sticky floored dark bar where you expect well and a solid dj set. Been coming here for yrs because when yku need a drink? It feels like ☆home☆

  • Review 23 (2024-01-09 - Rating: 5)

    This is a classic Lower East Side basement dive that gets super crowded and plays party tunes to a bunch of entitled little scumbags. If you want to get drunk and dance to hit songs this is the place.

  • Review 24 (2018-03-10 - Rating: 5)

    Dive bar + dance floor. Good drink prices and retro beats by live DJ. Leave your pretensions and inhibitions at the door. DONT TOUCH THE DISCO BALL.

  • Review 25 (2016-03-29 - Rating: 4)

    Went to 88 Palace Restaurant to have Dim Sum for a UYE that Judy F. organized. The restaurant itself is located inside a small mall under the bridge. We arrived and were promptly seated. We ordered Clams, Fried taro with minced pork, Pork shumai with quail egg, Sticky rice in lotus leaf with mushrooms, Chicken feet, Shrimp shumai, sticky rice, bean sprout with black beans, and Egg custard. Each of us came away quite full from it all. The tea helped nicely with digestion. For four people, total came to about $14 per person including tip. Each of the dishes costs $2 on average and the more premium ones like clam cost a bit more. Great way to spend a Sunday brunch with new friends.

  • Review 26 (2012-10-05 - Rating: 4)

    A L.E.S. basement dive bar, decorated with friendly taxidermy. A wonderful place to hangout with friends, or dance the night away. It gets very crowded on weekends, so be wary. Overall, might give it another shot.

  • Review 27 (2022-07-22 - Rating: 4)

    Great vibes. diverse crowd. music is hit or miss but overall a really nice bar

  • Review 28 (2024-03-25 - Rating: 5)

    So happy to find this place! Amazing atmosphere and Owen was the absolute best

  • Review 29 (2013-08-09 - Rating: 4)

    Home sweet home is a good place to go out with your friends to have a dirty sweaty party, the door is really easy, with extremely nice bouncers, the music is very diverse, and to just go out dancing and go crazy its a good place

  • Review 30 (2017-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Quiet. Dark. Relaxed. A nice break from typical Bowery fodder.

  • Review 31 (2022-11-20 - Rating: 4)

    Cool bar, it gets popping off on the weekends. It’s got a fun vibe but if the line is long, may not be worth it.

  • Review 32 (2018-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    Great music. Good atmosphere!! Really cheap happy hour if youre into that!!

  • Review 33 (2024-03-21 - Rating: 5)

    To start things of --> go there on Friday at 1am thats when you will have the best time there but nevertheless it is always a good place to go as my buddies and I used to say Lets go Home...... Sweet Home! (Its an insider now).Great drinks and great dancefloor even that you have an option to hang your coats somewhere without paying even tho you take the risk of them getting stolen but I have been there 5 times and they never got stolen.Age range is quite good, normally its Collage age but sometimes there are some older people too which is okay I guess.The best thing to say is that the bouncer is nice and sensible. I have experienced a lot of bouncers being a**holes and misusing their power. But the bouncers at Home Sweet Home are likeable. Shout-out.

    Fun little dive bar full of college kids just having a good time and dancing. Cheap drinks and a disco ball aint too shabby

  • Review 37 (2018-02-24 - Rating: 4)

    A strange and unusual club for the underground dance scene. Interesting taxidermy adds to the charm and the bar service is good.

  • Review 38 (2018-02-20 - Rating: 5)

    Home Sweet Home is one of my all time favorite bars on the weekends. Saturday is the best night to go for a DJ playing throwbacks. Be ready to dance your pants off. Beer and drinks are reasonably priced and there’s limited seating. Be aware of the $5 cover!

  • Review 67 (2022-09-06 - Rating: 4)

    Kind of a more pregame destination imo. The dance floor is not big enough for it to be what it wants to be. That being said, there wasnt a cover when I went which is always a plus and the drinks werent crazy priced like some of the other nearby bars

  • Review 68 (2022-09-15 - Rating: 4)

    It kind of looks like a bachelor decorated his basement in the 70s. Plastic covered velvet couches, taxidermy animals, vintage lamps. Ive been there a few times when the music has been all dirty blues - always a good dance night.

    This place always has a special spot for my girlfriend and I, so we try to go there every once in a while. Its definitely my kind of bar, as it varies from being a quiet chill place to a place that plays some good music to rock out/dance to. Plus, the taxidermy is a nice touch!

  • Review 96 (2014-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    Um they scan IDs and that would be totally fine if the scanner actually worked.Dude the ID is real. Do I look that young? My friend could easily look 30...Anyway, bouncer took 20 minutes scanning our IDs but at least I made him crack a smile. Geez.And then I almost tripped down the stairs. I think this place is wheelchair accessible so next time I will use the electric platform lol.Whats sad is that I was more concerned about my red lipstick smearing and get, what my friend coined, the joker lipstick look.Bar is decent, I guess. If youre into dark, divey joints. Bartenders are nice. Isnt too crowded & nice and cool during hot summer nights.
