One of my Favorites

My friend has been talking about this place incessantly so I decided to give it a try. The bar is gorgeous! Inside is a beautiful white room with interesting furniture and very nice and cute bartenders....

nice design, good food

Nothing extravagant, but a fun, hip place that I imagine would be good for a later dinner. We were guests at the hotel, and only ate one meal; the pre-theatre atmosphere was a tad thin. Prices are a wee bit...

Great for groups, iffy for dates

If you've got a group of four or more, this place is a fantastic spot -- especially if they're from out of town. They'll be wooed by the atmosphere. Weeknights have become a lil' dull, so if you're looking for...

MEMBERS ONLY

You have to get to the bar before a certain time otherwise you won't be admitted. That's too bad because it is a nice bar -- trendy. Don't bother going to the restaurant. Unless you want some macaroni & cheese...

Don't waste your time...

The staff is incredibly unprofessional, blatantly only picking women to enter the bar while men sat in line for what seemed to be hours. The drinks were mediocre and the crowd was high on itself for no reason....

Upon arriving at the Hudson Bar, one encounters an entourage of goons who attempt to prevent entry to those "unworthy". At times, the bars in the hotel are only open to hotel guests, but the Hudson Bar is...
