Katra

Went to Katra lounge on Sunday and was surprised to have been at a cougars party. The women were amazing. I will make sure to be there this coming Sunday. more

Went to a COUGARS party yesterday night. Had a great time! New liquor called Rhythm had a nice open bar and there were some nice OCUGARS there!! lol People were still coming in as I was leaving around 11 so the party does pick up especially for a Sunday night. They will do even better once the weather gets nicer too I would recommend this place!!! Glad the cougar party is a weekly thing too!!!! lol Pros: Nice atmosphere great music, great staff more

My friend dragged me out on a Sunday but I'm glad I came out. Staff was good and the drinks were strong! The cougars were there and looking great. They were even promoting a reality tv show about cougars. I also tried some new liquor called Rhythm . Perfect way to spend a Sunday. See u there next week! Pros: COUHARS were hot Cons: it had to end more

Had a birthday party bringing about 40-50 guests. Must give props to Chris, the general manager. He was a man of his word and everything he promised, was provided. From service, to drinks, to no cover, and no wait for friends/guests, the night went smoothly and without a hitch. I won't say just how much he hooked me up, but Chris takes good care of his customers. I dropped a good amount here, and even more with friends, but it's definitely worth the trip, for a party, or even just to chill with friends. Pros: Awesome service, great management Cons: can be a bit crowded more

I have been looking for a Cougar party for some time now. I am so glad that Katra is doing them every Sunday now. The music was good and the Cougars were on the prowl! Me and 7 of my buddies had a great night and WILL be back every Sunday!! Thanks Katra Pros: HOT COUGARS CHICKS!!!! more

I always go to Katra, however, was surprised they are having cougar parties, which was crazy because I just read an article on cougars yesterday. This is my new favorite Sunday spot Pros: started early Cons: ended early more

I was VIP for my little brothers 21st. I got in contact with Chris through my party planner and he made sure I was comfortable and gave me confidence having the party @ Katra was the place to be. I was served by Blair who was great all night long and kept my table full and made sure we were loaded with all our mixers cups etc all night long. She was great. The bus boy was also up numerous time to keep the table/floor all mopped up so it was clean and non slippery all night. Crowd is 21-30 divers and attractive. The setting is all dark lots of black and red, If your throwing a party you needa go VIP the place get crowded as the night goes. However your goin with 2-4 friends this place is still great crowd/scene and can deal with squeezing through the crowd. Price on drinks? IDK I just bought bottles :). Also got a hookah witch was a change for me. Never had a hookah in a bar. It was smooth and tasted great. Definably recommend Katra Lounge to anyone. Pros: Service more

Had a great time here but the place was really crowded. Usually a good thing but too crowded just isn't fun when you are trying to buy a drink in line! Cons: Crowded more

From booking it with the owner to the end of the party when the owner brought me a bottle of champagne for my birthday.....Katra was wonderful. Yes it is busy and there is that period where its overcrowded but it was that time where everybody arrives at the same time. Christine the waitress was great and none of my crowd had a hard time getting in. No lines or cover which is wonderful and you know the personal attention was just all there, I wish all places were like this and I will definately tell my friends to come here Pros: Great Service, Food and Music and Wonderful Door Policy Cons: Very Busy more

Ok, So I did my 30th here on Saturday. The manager (Chris) was great, although he was very busy on Sat night. When we first arrived my friend and I had to wait by the door while my waitress came out to show us our table and take my credit card. Personally I feel there should be a seperate hostess with the doorpeople for that purpose. Also, some of my guests had a hard time getting in, even though I had a party going on...this should never happen, people who have parties should not have friends waiting outside and told that they need to take a walk around for a few mins, while they let a swarm of others in. However, when I spoke to Chris, he let my people in, though, I was still frustrated. At first I was not happy sitting in the front by the coat check, but when I thought about it, the crowd in the back would have frustrated me more than people coming back and forth for their coats. I was not happy with the crowd, the music was ok, lots of hip hop that night, old school stuff...they should change up the DJ...I was under the impression the crowd and music was more diverse...but it wasnt...I wasn't happy with my events coordinator either, she was very rude to me on a couple occasions, and personally I was about to cancel here just because of her. However, the waitress (Christina) was magnificant, Chris was very nice. The bottle service prices are a bit outrageous considering all of the above. I was quoted something less by one of the events people, and then they tried to charge me something different, not once but twice...in the end, however, they stuck to the deal, which was still ridiculous considering, and definitely not worth EVERY penny. I say, come here before a big event such as 30th, and see for yourself on the exact day you are planning it for. If I wouldve done that, I wouldn't have come here. But I made the most of it, because if you don't your entire night can be ruined. Lastly, to Katra's credit, I do like the follow-up, and I will be calling shortly to let them know how it all went. Pros: Service Cons: Crowd more

A friend made arrangements for me to have my 45th birthday celebration @ Katra. I've heard of it, but never set my foot in the door until Valentine's Day evening. And what a pleasant surprise! As an interior designer the first thing I look at is the decor & layout, and it was niceIy done. A very cozy and sultry atmosphere. I had approximately 60 people throughout the evening, and Chris (the manager) did everything possible to accomodate me and my group. After paying what I thought a reasonable price, we were stationed in the V.I.P. lounge, and the rest was beautiful history. My friends were able to eat, drink, dance, and lounge. The waitresses were extremely attentive and the attitude of all the other staff members was very pleasant and helpful. My only frown was when trying to order several bottles of "house" champagne they were out and I was offered the next level, and lo and behold they were out of those. I was a bit annoyed but Katra redeemed itself by discounting the bottles I did purchase as well as giving me a bottle gratis. Also, I chose to pay cash for my night (it helped keep me on the straight & narrow), and our waitress was sweet, but could have used a bit more decorum when asking for the money since I did not use my credit card. The drinks were in my opinion, standard for New York City, so no surprises there. The menu had great appetizers, and just about all my friends ordered from the menu and were satisfied. It was just enough to tie them over for a few hours. Overall I would definitely recommend Katra to anyone looking to chill, have dinner, & drinks; or to anyone looking to set it off! Everyone one from the young lady in the coat check room to the bathroom attendants, to the gentlemen at the door to the bouncer at the VIP area were great! You are guaranteed a good time at Katra. Trust me, I partied like it was my birthday!!!.... And I am 45 and fabulous!! THANK YOU CHRIS!!! Pros: Ambience, Great for groups, great management Cons: Champagne choices more

I run an event series in NYC and have worked with dozens of venues. I love it when I come across a venue where the management and staff make the event a breeze. Absolutely everyone at Katra - Chris, Emily, Ismael, Mo - was professional, friendly and helpful. The venue also happens to be gorgeous - and the downstairs space, where we did our event, was ideal for a party of 100. more

Hi Chris, What can I say............You ARE a man of your words!! We CAN"T praise you enough for all that you did!! From the first time I spoke to you (if you remember I said I had found the right place) to last night! PERFECTION!!!! Most service businesses could take a lesson from you. Your staff, (Emily and all the rest) are the consumate professionals, and I know that begins and ends with you~! Steven already rang up today and couldn"t stop saying what a wonderful time he had!! From Katra, itself, to the food, the staff,all of it. I could go on forever, but I'll leave it with, Allan and I will be back to have dinner soon more

Hosted a private party at Katra and was very pleased. Management and staff were very accomodating to special needs. Prices were reasonable. And food was tasty. The venue is a perfect place for a hosted, private evening. 5-stars. Pros: good location, on trend decor, accomodating mgmt and staff Cons: On a sat nite, the late night crowd is a bit young. more

I had my party at Katra last weekend and I could not have been happier. They took care of everything for me and there were no problems at all. From getting in, to getting a drink every last bit was top notch!!! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone. Good Times... more

thank you thank you thank youuu!!!!!!!!!!!!! my party was absolutely awesome. the table was great the club was poppin and the vip waitress celeste was awesome. i just wanted to make sure i told you thank you for makin my birthday absolutely fabulous :-D more

I have been going to Katra for quite a while now and have to say that this is an amazing venue!! This is a perfect location for birthdays, celebrations, reunions, corporate parties or night out with friends. I absolutely love everything about this place, the ambiance, the look, the food, the drinks and the music. The wait staff is one of the best I have ever experienced. Another favorite at Katra is Chris, the General Manager. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are all set! There are absolutely no cons just pro's at this place!!! Love it! Pros: Beautiful venue, Great food, music and drinks, Nice looking crowd Cons: None at all more

We read all the great reviews before booking our office party, and to be honest were sold on KATRA even before we went to socpe out the location. Once inside we knew we had the right place; Beautiful, Simple, Elegant, Mysterious and Divine. Wonderful from start to finish! The staff bent over backwards to make sure we were all set for the best time possible. Everything was perfect. Drinks were exquisite. We chose the Lychee Martini and Morroccan Mojito as our signature cocktails, but in the end, the variety of different martini's and mixed drinks coming out of the bar was amazing!!! Both the Bar and Wait staff were great! And the FOOD?! - absolutely Scrumptious! Thank you Chef! Chris, the manager, knows exactly what it will take to make your party a success. Just let him know what you are after and he will look after you. He was onsite the entire time, popping in, making sure all was ok. He's a charmer! (ask him to make you his Irish Apple Martini....and don't forget to ask what makes it Irish!!) You are in good hands!! Sit back, grab a Lychee Martini, and enjoy! Cheers! more

Myself and a few friends were in town for a party that was canceled at the last minute. We stumbled on Katra and had 1 hell of a time. Many good looking woman,not snobby as in most NYC bars,clubs and lounges and the female bartenders are totally nice and helpful at the same time. The coat check staff are very friendly and make you wanna go and have a blast. NONE of my belongings were lost and I didn't have to wait 5 minutes to get it. overall Katra is a great place and I suggest if you are reading this to check out the scene. GREAT MUSIC,DJ'S, STAFF, DRINKS AND FOOD. It was worth every penny Pros: The entire KATRA is a blast, you will enjoy it! Cons: A little expensive but hey its New York,Crowded more
