Babou's

Do not leave an open tab, card was charged multiple times and we only had 2 drinks. We had 5 transactions to happen on our card. Trifling. Nice place but music definitely did fit the vibe.

Probably the most comical, ridiculously overhyped, wannabe high-class bar I've ever been to. The whole experience was comedy, but the real kicker was when I thought the bartender accidently charged my card for TWO glasses of red wine. We ordered our wine, paid, got our cards back but didn't get our checks (shady), I took a sip, my friend says, "this tastes like airplane wine, I wonder how much they charged us." I went to get my check.. and I couldn't believe that I actually saw $32 for ONE glass of wine!!! The craziest part was, they only had 1 option of red wine to choose from and somehow they thought it was okay to charge $32 for it! I have gone to actual mixologist/cocktail lounges in NYC, speakeasys, restaurants all over and have never paid $32 for a glass of wine unknowing the bottle of wine. Also, there was cork in it! The atmosphere.. EMPTY for a Friday night.. Probably a total for 25 people at 11pm on a Friday. What a shame, I thought this place could've been a great local bar for a night out or a night cap, but I will definitely never be returning and am appalled that the owners actually overcharge people like this- the bar is really not that cool and exclusive- it's lame, not unique, and similar aesthetic to every other cocktail bar opening up in this area. ooo a library and disco balls - never seen that before!
