XES Lounge (Closed Permanently)

(105 Ratings)
Casual lounge for your weekend bar hopping.
The drinks are strong and the crowd is friendly at this newer Chelsea spot. Pop and dance music plays on the TVs (when they aren't playing the latest gay fave TV shows) and there's a nice patio out back. Come here for happy hour or later on weekend nights to catch a bigger crowd.

The BEST Happy Hour in town. The drinks are so strong here, and you get 2 for 1 until 9 PM on weekdays at an avg price of $7. Also, gotta love that you can have a drink AND a smoke on the back patio.

Doesn't really stand out

A very nice place, and great outdoor space, but nothing really that makes it stand out from others.

Younger Crowd

I'm in my fifties and was clearly out of my element here, with everyone else pretty much in their twenties and thirties. That said, it was a lively, friendly place. And a terrific outdoor patio area. Well worth a visit for those in their thirties and twenties, especially.
