If you are looking for a venue that has great decor and staff with a great attitude to match, then you should definitely go to Katra (Downtown NYC). My birthday party was Saturda...

Pretty sure I outgrew this place back when I turned 22. It was ok. Really crowded after about 11:30 which made for lots of hands where they were not welcome. Drinks were not ba...

Deffinately a Must! 10/28/2006

I held my birthday here last night and I have to say "Thank You" Katra for a wonderful night. Everything was wonderful from the food to the service and the easy door policy. Even though it was very very busy which is normal for Halloween you still made my night very special. Will be sure to have more parties here. Pros: Door Policy, Service Cons: Very Warm more

Best of NY 10/28/2006

Simply put! Katra is amazing and has all the personality of a hot club with little or no Attitude . We loved this spot and had a great party there . We wish it was bigger and you do have to book well in advance. All our guests were given free entry even though some were friends calling friends but the door staff were very flexible. This place is great Pros: Beautiful in NY Cons: Size more

Arabian Nights on the Lower East Side 10/18/2006

The best Friday night I have spent in a long time. Seductive music, delicious cocktails, and some seriously hot people. My girlfriends and I took a cabana and drank right through the gorgoues drinks list --Babylon Garden, with stawberry and vodka my fav! Yummy...and don't get me started on the cutie behind the bar....I'd live here if they let me! Pros: Ambience, Service, Drink Menu more

Great private party space! 10/16/2006

Just had my 40th birthday party in the private lounge downstairs. It was fantastic. The room is beautiful and the staff were wonderful. Chris the manager was great to work with and made everything very easy for me. Thanks! The food was delicious too!! I've had a great response from all my friends who loved it. I can honestly recommend having a party here. Thanks to everyone! Pros: Great party space, service, food and drinks. more

Great Night Out! 10/12/2006

I celebrated my birthday party here last Saturday and had a great time! The owner Chris made sure we had everything we needed at all times. As soon as we arrived the staff promptly set up for my party and we had a corner to ourselves which was great. We had a great waitress who was very attentive and friendly. The best thing about this place is that its initmate which makes it ideal for a bday party and the decor is just beautiful. Also the no cover, fair dress policy, good music & friendly staff makes a trip to Katra worth taking. I usually do not hang out downtown but this place is definitely worth the trek and I will be going back again. Pros: ambience, staff, value more

Excellent Moroccan Fries! 10/10/2006

Katra is the best and in fact, I hesitate to write this because I'd like to keep it a secret. Beautiful decor, delicious food, really good drinks and fun music. The staff, and especially Christopher, the general manager/owner could not have been more accommodating. I held a birthday party there last weekend and really enjoyed myself. Great fun, cool vibe... more

Nice Event 10/7/2006

Compliments to Katra and its staff for a woderfull party this week. The professionalism and value out party was given was amazing. Thanks you guys and the service was top class. The Irish owner was very conscientious and made sure everything was perfect. This was the same as a top rated hotel space without the huge price. Thanks you guys. more

Why go to Katra? 9/27/2006

My compliments to Katra's management, specifically Christopher for running a tight ship. I planned a surprise birthday party at Katra late last month and was quite pleased with the service and attention our group was given. Despite last minute changes in reservations, Christopher made sure we were well-accommodated. Overall, Katra is an ideal venue for private events due to it's layout, atmosphere, and pleasant staff. The space didn't get uncomfortably packed and safe to say the crowd was mature and orderly. All in all, an enjoyable experience and I would recommend Katra as a fun tasteful lounge, with good music, tasty cocktails, and quality standards. Pros: Atmosphere, service more

Beautiful 9/26/2006

This is a beautiful spot on the Bowery with fine food and great service. The decor is authentic and warm which brings you back to the North African countryside. Effort and time have been put in this business and it shows. Also the running of the place is very efficient and you can see that by how it is kept and how the staff are to the patrons. This is a beautiful edition to New York's late nite scene and will definately be worth another trip Pros: Beautiful more

Nice place to party 9/25/2006

You know what I like in NYC? Well let me tell you! A place with no fake and still hot, and great fun and on Sat I found it in "Katra". This place on the Bowery has a no trouble door policy witha dress code which was fair. No hats, baggy or sports gear. The doormen were polite and actually funny. Inside you are greeted with beautiful Morroccan decorations which seemed like they came from North Africa. The food was really nice which was is not the norm is busy clubs like this. The drinks were excellent and the prices the same for all major clubs but the btl service was cheaper as I noticed most btls in clubs are gone up $50. Our waitress was beautiful and hot and if my girl was not there well you never know! The music was excellent and he played everything. It got very busy and a little cramped but if it was like our party we actually called our friends to come join us as there was no cover and it felt like everyone did the same. The people who were there were beautiful and polite and it was deffinately a great night. Our party had three bottles and then the owner sent us over a comp bottle of Grey Goose to our surprise which really got us messed up. But do you know what? This place was the most fun we have had in months. Great job Katra and I will be telling everyone about your spot Pros: Everything more

Sat Party Amazing 9/23/2006

Went to this spot on the Bowery as one of my friends said it was good and to my surprise it was better then good! The service was very good and the food was excellent. My friends and I had a wonderful night. P.S Music rocked more

Sat Nite One Big Party 9/17/2006

This is the place right now. Hot crowd, waitress, food and drink and music. Place was full but the music was pumping. Easy door policy and no cover. What more do you need on Sat night in NYC Pros: Party more

My favorite new bar 9/15/2006

This is one of the coolest bars in New York without a doubt.I have been in there on a number of days and there is always a good buzz about the place.Especially happy hour 5 till 8pm.Also tuesdays and thursday nights are great,the dj's are always bringing more new flavours with guest dj's from all around the world.I highly recommend it,as an expat from the uk I find it refreshing to actually experience some true diversity music,atmosphere,and over all vibe this spot exudes makes it an a+ in my books Pros: Great for a Party more

This place is pretty Cool 9/11/2006

I really liked this spot with its warm decor and friendly staff. I found it to have plenty of personality with a little bit of mystery. It feels like a neighbourhood spot even with a club atmosphere. The staff are not rude and money hungry like most other clubs and they still greet you like you are at a local bar. Its food is nice and tapas in style but I wish the menu was a little more larger. But overall this place is cool and refreshing compared to most other places out there Pros: Cool and Refreshing Cons: Bowery more

Fun 9/10/2006

Had a great nite here on Sat. Easy door policy and nice patrons. Drink similar in price to other clubs but cocktails are lovely. Staff are attentive and polite and I found this place to be warm and inviting. Pros: Very Nice Place Cons: Busy more

VIPs and not famous? 9/9/2006

We had the vip room for our party and it was nice to feel special and not be famous. The waitress was amazing and took care of everything and we were also given a btl of Grey Goose for "FREE" after we had purchased three and we never even asked it. I hope other clubs take note as this place is "PHAT" and will be huge in the future. It was very busy and the VIP was nice because we had our own waitress and security and so we had our own space. Did not try the food as we had eaten earlier but will come back again if its anything like everything else here. My ratings are as follows Chris (Really Hot bartender) 10 Waitress 10 Security 9 Decor 10 Music 7 Atmosphere 9 Eye Candy 8 Owner with cute accent 10 This place is a 10 in general Pros: Staff, Management, decor and service Cons: V. Busy more

Great Night Out 9/8/2006

Pros: Beautiful sevice and decor and a great buzz Cons: Packed more

Very Nice Spot 9/4/2006

Was at an event here last Sat and after reading all the reviews I was very happy to report that this place is all that and a little bit more! Its was a great party and everyone was taken care of including a comp btl of champ for the birthday girl. Staff are wonderful! With no complaints I have to say that this place is worth a visit Pros: Service and Food more

Love this place 9/1/2006

Having had three parties here now I had to put pen to paper and say how amazing Katra is and all the staff who work there. The ambience and the mood are set by beautiful Moroccan decor which brings you to the Middle East in style and elegance. The staff and the service are second to none in any hot spot in NYC. There open door policy with standards that keep the bad crowd out make the place so comfortable with plenty of eye candy available including the two Irish owners who must be brothers.The drink are pretty unique and a little pricey but when you don't have to pay cover its worth while. The music rocks!!! Simply put this place has a great future if they keep up with there policies of easy door, great service and beautiful staff. P.S Check out the hot bartender downstairs. He is a dream!!!! more

The original home of multi-millionaire athletes and glitterati, the crowd at Mission shifts throughout the week as this glitzy club features a variety of events. While some say the place is overpriced or somehow poorly located, it nevertheless has a great draw on the wildly-popular Bowery, and the beautiful decor and stylish surroundings guarantee a fun night out--albeit at a price.
