    Atmosphere and service was amazing. We came early on a Saturday evening. The food was overpriced and not really good, but it’s a bar so we didn’t expect much. Espresso Martini was great! Will come back again.

    I have tried to go here on a few different occasions but the line situation outside is always concerning because I can’t usually deal with visual chaos for very long. But I finally had time to show up early and see what the vibe was. Their bar is beautifully made and I think the lounge to dance floor spacing is so well thought through! I also LOVE that they are a club that also has a good selection of natural wines, as I’ve recently made the decision to stop drinking hard liquor and stick to wines. The music in the venue was amazing as well. While I was there Extra Meesh was DJing and I can say for a fact, I will go every single time I see his name on the flyer for Laissez Faire. GOOD WORK, I can’t wait to come back.

    The atmosphere in this bar is very pleasant, and the jazz band on Wednesdays is really good! Food and cocktails are great too so overall, let’s say it’s an hidden gem in NYC for a date night!

    This was a nice little tucked away spot. The vibe was everything it should have been.

    My favourite club / lounge in NYC. Incredible staff and ambiance out of control. So fun.

    Perfect place for the night around the town. Delicious crafted cocktails, nice vibes and sexy ambiance. We visited on several occasions. From private events to Wednesday Jazz night. You can’t go wrong. Great service as well.

    One of my fav new spots in Fidi, great music , great crowd, overall great time.

  • Review 9 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    Very taken by this place. Sound is amazing, cocktails- diverse & sublime. Good music- your favorite songs from days past but nothing too commercial & formulaic. The sound system is insane. Looking forward to checking out their jazz nights on Wednesdays with a martini in hand, some oysters, heck maybe even some caviar if I’m feeling adventurous.

    Laissez Faire is hands down one of the coolest nightclubs I’ve been to in NYC! The martinis were perfection, and the DJ kept the energy alive all night.

    Definitely not what I’d consider a cocktail bar… definitely more of a club for those who prefer cocktails over their vodka sodas and tequila shots. The cocktails were pretty good, tho…

  • Review 17 (2024-10-25 - Rating: 5)

    The financial district never knew how to throw a party until these guys came to town. Now, it’s a quintessential party destination in the city.

    🥂. Fav spot in NYC

  • Review 26 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    Cinematic entry.. lives up to the hype.. caviar and martinis.. vibes..

  • Review 27 (2023-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    As the sound guy & DJ on Wednesday nights I am giving this slightly biased review of what I know to be an exceptional venue with a focus on old school entertainment in a neighborhood that is positively changing. I must commend the zoned sound system, the bookings team and Alex’s dirty martinis. And look pal, here’s the scoop: Food is being piped in from upstairs soon.

  • Review 28 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    It is really difficult to walk by the purple neon sign tucked away in an alley and not feel intrigued. Entering the space takes you on a journey back in time. The decor, lighting and sound are curated to hit your senses right in the sweet spot. Oysters and Martinis are the move early and when the clock strikes midnight you know things will get interesting here. I also heard there will be live jazz during the week! I think I found the best new spot in fidi.

  • Review 29 (2023-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    Attended a standup comedy show here. Felt very premium, and for NYC the drinks were priced fairly reasonably! Wasn’t the easiest to find, but definitely worth visiting!

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

    Epic spot! 12/10 would go back! Had the best night here. Sound system was great and music was fantastic. Resident DJ Mac Petrycki brought it all together!

  • Review 31 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    Gotham at its finest! Felt like Batman entering a secret location down the alley way, to then go full Bruce Wayne mode once entering the venue itself with its lavish and luxurious aesthetic of Old New York. Can’t wait to go back for more!

  • Review 32 (2023-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    Such a great spot. Vibes are great. Velvet seats. Amazing cocktail menu and even better music.

    Wow this place was absolutely incredible. As native New Yorker is alway difficult to find a new spot to actually hang out!! Laissez Faire delivers!! Will be returning soon!!

  • Review 36 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    Like out of a movie. My experience began when I turned onto Theatre Alley, the backside of the austere Beekman Hotel. There I stood, flanked on both sides by skyscrapers that dwarf you in comparison. Down the alley, a porous manhole exhaled steam. It fluttered upwards, and caught the neon sign above the entrance, turning the smoke into a plume of purple light. My eyes tracked down from the sign to the velvet rope encircling a nondescript door, and a queue of eager revelers awaiting the doorman’s verdict. In the words of the great David Byrne, this must be the place.

  • Review 37 (2023-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    Incredible night. A sophisticated modern club with amazing music and an even better crowd.
