Editorial Review for STAY – by Kara Zuaro
The Scene
A very subtle sign on its front window makes this nightspot feel discreet--despite its well-traveled Houston Street location. A mod, curvaceous couch lines one wall, '60s-style lounge chairs provide additional seating, and retro-futuristic pendant lamps cast a sexy red glow. The only thing that's missing in this chic space is a snooty attitude; instead, there's a welcoming, inclusive, laid-back vibe.
The Draw
Thanks to a generous no-cover policy and mainstream-friendly house, hip-hop, and '80s DJs, an unpretentious crowd packs the house on weekends, and full bars at either end of the long, slim space ensure service without much of a wait. The affable staffers deftly pour several popular house cocktails, including the achingly sweet and naughtily named Punani, a blue pina colada served in a martini glass. The bar covers all the bases, with beer, wine, and bottle service available, too.

Insider Tips
Save MoneyThe $2 to $3 discounts on drinks from 7pm to 10pm makes martinis a cool $5 during happy hour. The bar doesn't get crowded until later in the evening, so plenty of seating is available.

My going away celebration at STAY this past weekend was an fun. I didn't like the fact that I had to ask for my complimentary bottle of champagne, they should just have given it to me upon arrival when they seated my group. The male bartender with the french accent in the front was really sweet but slow as a turtle. I counted at least 7 or 8 people waiting on drinks. Not good. The vibe inside was ok, typical lower east wanna-be hipsters filled with mostly Europeans and to my dismay not as diverse as I expected. Other than that I'd like to point out that the music made my night and everyone loved the DJ, oh and the bouncers are awesome! never met security that was so cool.
Pros: Music Music Music , DJ, clean
Cons: not as crowded as hyped up to be

I had my 25th bday party at STAY Saturday,and had a blast and worry free time. No hassles at the door,immediate seating, and comp champagne to celebrate. The bartenders were generous and friendly. I met one of the managers,Lance,and he hooked us up with some yummy shots. He's so hot!!!! The only issue was it got a bit packed and the smoking section outside is tight.
Pros: fun staff
Cons: crowded
