This "high-end" lounge in Midtown's W New York Hotel draws everyone from "worker bees" to "out-of-town" business types with a "fancy" mix of "great drinks", "dark" lights and foxy waitresses; it's "always busy" during the "after-work" cocktail crush, when the "people-watching" alone is worth the "expensive" tabs.
Rande Gerber's nightclub juggernaut continues on the East Side.:
Whiskey Blue Restaurant Review: You don’t have to be a registered guest at the swanky W Hotel to partake in the libations at this Midtown club---in fact, some might actually call this lounge welcoming. Rande Gerber owns this nightclub (he also owns Underbar and The Whiskey in two of the city's other W hotels), and you'd be forgiven if you mistook the leather pants-clad, knee-high-boots-wearing...
Experience nightlife in the city that never sleeps. Rande Gerber’s New York hotspot Whiskey Blue is Gotham’s answer to the candle-lit cocktail bar. Slip into a leather booth or go classic at the bar. Mingle. Sip Manhattans and soak up the scene.
Doesn't cater to the bourgeois. Throw on a suit and wave your black AmEx at the bar to get staff's attention. 30-something men and women flock here to bask in attractiveness, and snag an out-of-towner from the adjacent W Hotel. Pricy drinks are worth bar-side people watching, and sexy, low lit ambiance makes everyone look a little more attractive.
