    The blonde is such a beautiful place to be. The service is absolutely fantastic and the view of the dance floor was absolutely amazing as well. the music is good. The vibes is dark and sexy. Perfect nightclub come through.

  • Review 2 (2024-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    Let’s get this out of the way: the signature cocktails are $24 apiece. But they’re really tasty and well made, the decor of the place is great, and the bartenders are experienced and friendly and stylish. If you’re staying at 11 Howard, you’d be remiss to not have at least one drink here.

    The gentleman that looks like Jeremy Allen White is easily the best bartender I’ve came across. Killed it back to back years on NYE. Incredibly efficient and talented.2 stars for the lady working the side of the bar closer to the bathrooms.

    Great spot. Love the vibes. Sounds are great too. Get there early or you will be told tables are reserved for ghosts that never come, and u will need to pay $1500 for a $20 bottle of vodka

    Great vibes and great drinks. Very loungey. Come dressed to impress. Very dark though lol

  • Review 9 (2023-02-25 - Rating: 5)

    My girlfriend and I ( 2 girls ) were there last weekend. Crowd was amazing. Definitely higher ratio of girls to guys. It should be tough for guys to get in because some tend to get handsy with the girls. Music was great. If you are preety young girl they will let you in. If not you better make a table reservation or arrive earlier before it becomes a club. I have been two other times and the crowd and music has been great. I do feel bad for the people that can’t get in.

    The Blond is one of New Yorks prestigious venues located in Lower Manhattan. Nestled inside the 11 Howard Hotel, it is reminiscent of Los Angeles Sky Bar. The entrance is subtle but lavish with a healthy set of stairs which leads into a dimly lit bar. We were here in celebration of LaRopas expansion. Music is a blend of the past, the present and perhaps the future. The staff was courteous and professional, especially the bartender, promoters and bouncers. Remember, the crowd is young and elegant. Do not waste your time if you do not belong to the culture of clandestine clubs and on a list. Bottle service is probably your best course of action. All in all, this is definitely a mood. And, after a crowded night at this spot, youll feel like the pandemic never happened.

    Fun lounge Amazing selection of liquor and cocktails, Bartender Alex - She rocks! Love the lace blouse !

  • Review 12 (2024-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place! More comfortable! Music awesome!

  • Review 13 (2017-09-23 - Rating: 4)

    Certainly a nice place to bring a date or hang with your buddies. Somber lighting, or mood lighting... the waitresses are professional and courteous. The bus boys are on point placing and removing food from your table. A very nice place for late drinks.

  • Review 14 (2023-03-08 - Rating: 5)

    Love this place. Feels fun and ritzy on a Tuesday night. Get a cozy corner booth with your friends and order some martinis. The bar noshes are dece too.

  • Review 15 (2018-02-11 - Rating: 4)

    This place starts out as an old fashioned cocktail bar and the later in the evening, it transforms itself to a club. The audience was therefore a bit younger than I had expected. The cocktails were good and the atmosphere was sophisticated.

  • Review 16 (2024-12-26 - Rating: 5)

    Good music and vibes

  • Review 19 (2023-09-30 - Rating: 5)

    Almost everyone in the venue was dancing to eclectic mix of dance music ranging from disco too early 2000s hip-hop.

  • Review 20 (2017-09-19 - Rating: 5)

    Wednesday night is great once the dance floor gets going. Drinks are strong and bar tenders offer quick service. Staff is nothing but friendly. Atmosphere is unbeatable for Wednesday.

  • Review 21 (2019-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Loved this place my friend found for drinks in the Soho area! It has a great ambience, the servers are all very nice, and fun music! I would definitely come back.

  • Review 22 (2022-04-20 - Rating: 5)

    I honestly have no pictures because I had so much fun I didnt look at my cellphone. I loved the music the vibe and the drinks. Ask for a sweet rose drink and you will be happy.

  • Review 23 (2024-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    Ppl work there friendly plus it’s best place in area

  • Review 24 (2019-09-09 - Rating: 5)

    We had the most sexy get together here. I enjoyed the Bombshell (less Tabasco) and the cheese plate. Great atmosphere and just Soho Sexy vibes.

    Great cocktails and space. Highly professional staff and an inventive drinks menu.

    Dope spot if you want an upscale experience, from the cocktails to the service is top, I’d be coming more often

  • Review 28 (2019-05-28 - Rating: 4)

    It was a cool vibe. Music was pretty good. But at that point my night was a blur. I hopped between a few places so I was rocked at that point but all and all had a great time.

  • Review 29 (2024-06-16 - Rating: 5)

    High end dance lounge. Table service. Mixed format music.

  • Review 30 (2018-05-22 - Rating: 4)

    Great bar, extra swanky. It can get very crowded on the weekends and Fridays, but worth it to hearsome goos music and nice drinks.

  • Review 31 (2017-06-20 - Rating: 4)

    Trendy, & musically different from the usual club scene. Nice clientele (model type, fashionista and cool people), the door is somewhat selective. My drink of choice: Old Fashion.

  • Review 32 (2017-02-14 - Rating: 5)

    Dont expect to come here dressed casually! If you look nice, youll have no issues, an exclusive spot, and great NYC gem!

  • Review 33 (2024-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    Taylor at the blonde bar is seriously a hair wizard! I walked in with a vague idea and left with the coolest hair color and cut in a long time! His talent is off the charts, and hes got this laid-back vibe that makes the whole experience chill. If youre looking for a hair guru, Taylors your guy!

  • Review 34 (2017-08-23 - Rating: 4)

    Beautiful crowd of adults! Great nite out...professional staff, great bartenders that actually know how to make a drink right...Dj rocked until 04:00... Malcolms guest list on Thursday night for a great time. Yes they have coal check for $5...easiest parking ever 1/2 block away FREE on street...Again, beautiful crowd of adults...Great music. Enjoy

  • Review 38 (2023-11-22 - Rating: 4)

    Went here Saturday evening around 2am. Was a really fun spot to end the evening with a variety of good music and nice energy. Would come again on a night out.

    Fun place, dress up if you want to get in

  • Review 45 (2018-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    Beautiful cocktail lounge in a hotel. Late night starts at midnight every night

  • Review 46 (2023-04-30 - Rating: 5)

    Ok based on these reviews. Im Middle eastern 36 and have no issues getting in.Plenty of diversity age and race inside. Go dressed to the 9’s and with no attitude and the bouncers will let you in. Don’t be drunk and sloppy. Hearing all the complaints about how you cant get in is probably why I frequent the place. A real pick up bar after 1 on Friday and Saturday. If you want something cheap and less issues try gold bar or the palace nearby. If you can’t get into either the problem isn’t the doorman its you. Lol.

    Fun Halloween party. Great energy and vibe. Good diverse crowd and drinks hit the spot.

  • Review 56 (2022-07-03 - Rating: 4)

    Went to meet a friend who was staying at the hotel visiting from LA, and I can attest that the vibe is similar to what the other reviewer (360 Magazine) said....It has the Sky Bar feel from The Mondrian hotel in West Hollywood, CA. I know as my friend and I have been there many times.Yes definitely Millenial crowd so much younger than my friend and I but it was 4th of July weekend and though I thought it was packed, apparently not as other normal weekends more crowded. DJ Music was good but not great. Could do better.As for barely lit bar...oh yeah DEFINITELY. Almost to the point of needing my smartphones flashlight. Music a bit too loud to chat but overall I had fun. Its as if there was NO pandemic feeling and glad.As for the bouncer, he seemed not TOO strict but again I got there at 9:45pm Any later and I probably wouldve had my friend whos a guest come down and get me in. Its right in SoHo near Canal St. and Chinatown.Definitely worth to checkout.

  • Review 60 (2019-12-10 - Rating: 4)

    This cafe turned into nightclub at night is beautiful and was a place where a lot of the whos who in NY would go for a night out. Like with most clubs, your time as one of the cooler clubs/lounges runs out. Still fun for a night out, but not as cool as it once used to be.

  • Review 61 (2019-12-27 - Rating: 4)

  • Review 64 (2019-08-07 - Rating: 4)

    I just called to ask if the Blond was open and she said sure. I asked what time they would be open until. She told me they were a separate entity and she had no idea. I asked if it would go to 4am like normally. She didn’t know and she eventually hung up on me. I went to the blonde and it was open thankfully. Had a great time otherwise!
