I will echo the comments regarding doorman’s attitude to the potential guests. Despite being well dressed for the occasion, my best friend and I were denied entry, judged by the looks of the doorman saying our outfits were not “elegant” enough. Meanwhile, we saw some people coming out in sneakers and casual outfits. I wonder if we were with Drake, his jogging pants & sneakers would have been “too casual” for that doorman. It is all a power show for no reason which ruins the reputation of this place.

I went last night because I loved how it looked on their social media platforms and they have live music. While the bartender were very attentive, the reason for this review is how bad the bouncer and hosting staff at the front treated me and my friends. They treated us like if they were making me a favor for letting my friends and I stand at the bar. I will never be going here again, I was a paying customer that spent over $200 and all we wanted was to let our third friend in, when we were already inside and they said no. The bar is full of promoters and girls getting comp drinks. They don’t care about you and your business unless you are a older white man or a pretty 20 year old girl wearing provocative clothes. SO RUDE.

This is one of my favorite lounges in new York city. Great music, drinks and fun vibe. Also ordered the finger food which is same menu from the restaurant upstairs. The staff is super nice and courteous. I messed up my reservation by canceling it accidently and they still did their best to accomdate us. The bartender was also very welcoming and seemed to know their stuff. I did wish they made whiskey sours.

One of a kind, fun live jaaz music, great crowd. Very sceney but not presumptuous. Fun energy all around, great cocktail program. Fun staff and great energy all around.

My friends and I get to the door and were asked if we made a reservation. Didn't know that you needed to make a reservation for a lounge. The door person then huddled with a few staff members and inspected us from head to toe before letting us enter. Place was super pretentious the drinks are not that great. The old fashion that I ordered seemed rushed, too much vermouth and way to much bitters.

This is such a pretentious place with mediocre ambiance and cocktails. If you make a reservation for the bar and expect to have a seat…think again! It is truly a place that tries too hard and delivers little. Not worth the time or money. We made a reservation for the bar thinking this was a classy cocktail bar (as it is marketed). When we arrived they told us to go to the bar and we could find coat check inside. We went in and there were NO bar seats and the coatcheck was nowhere to be found. When we asked a staff member where the coatcheck was she looked at us like we were idiots and it was obviously behind a black door with no sign on it or person getting the coats. Then we went back to the host to see where our seats were because the bar was full. They said they take reservations but they don’t reserve the seats (????). What type of system is that? Oh and did I mention they charge you a cancellation fee if you don’t go? Why are they charging a cancellation fee if they are not holding up their reservations? Utterly ridiculous. I only had a cocktail, which was over $20 and it was okay at best. I was so underwhelmed by the whole experience I just left.

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Was meeting friends here but did not know the name under who the reservation was in and the guy at the door would just not let us (me and my girlfriend) in, not even to find them. Could not make a on the spot "reservation" ourselves despite the place being empty. Trying to support the NYC economy as a business owner myself (with an expense account) and these people have learned nothing from Covid and the lack of customers. Finally was able to get a hold of my friend by phone and we were admitted to a mostly empty club. It's amazing that we have money to spend and they treat you this way. There are plenty of better and friendlier bars and clubs in the City. Never going back and will tell everyone of my corporate friends about this experience.

Best live music in town, my girl and I got to listen to Richie Nuzz and his brass band tear it up. We even got to take a photo with him after his set. The food was 5-star and the service is top notch. The staff is very attentive and friendly. If you love seafood, try the scallops and charred octopus! Be sure to reserve a seat though, it fills up quick.

This place had a lovely Manhattan cocktail lounge vibe. Great music and atmosphere. The food and drinks were so good and the bartenders were very efficient. The people I met were all awesome too! The only thing is that you should definitely make a reservation and come ON TIME or else you may not be let in.

The WORST experience. I have truly never experienced worse customer service and all around human decency than at the Seville. The bouncer at the “club” was SO RUDE!!!! Go elsewhere. This place is a waste of your precious time. No one has an ounce of care about you if you didn’t get a table…certainly not the rude AF bouncer we dealt with who had the most Unnecessary attitude I’ve ever experienced

This is a very nice (kinda hidden) lounge to get drinks in the flat iron area . Open till late, not crowded and no reservations needed during the first days of the week . And cocktails were top . Great selection of cocktails .

The owner of this nightclub is a poor pretentious selfie-loving clown. It discriminates against customers at the entrance. Flee, there are others places much more pleasant.

400$ for water down mojitos, cold food and gratuity included ? Do yourself a favor and skip this place the staff was the most pretentious and unfriendly I’ve ever encounter anywhere… we had a reservation for our two year anniversary and they treat us like we weren’t wanted, won’t be coming back to this place ever again

We payed (a lot) for the NYE event and we were treated horribly. We had emailed and texted several times requesting a table. We never got any reply. The hostesses in the entrance were really rude disrespectful. The service is terrible. I won’t be recommending this place ever.

Decent music on this night, nice bar and lounge environment, cocktails are ok. Pricey and when giving feedback on a whiskey sour with too much agave, the bartender didn’t want to hear it, fix it, or offer an alternative

Popped in without reservations and sat at the bar. Loved the look and feel. The drinks were very very good.

Just attended a neat tasting event here. It was a great venue. Good for talking with great atmosphere. Has a bit of a speakeasy vibe. I entered via The James Hotel entance. Head down the stairs to the left of hotel desk. There's also a street entrance off Madison Ave, just before the corner, marked with a subtle S sign that looks like a question mark. The hos d'oeuvres they were circulating for the event were amazing and diverse. Not your standard canapes. Lovely staff.

1st - Wonderful place - great vibes, awesome live and DJ'd music, food....people. I've met some really kind strangers here (staff and customers alike). The Seville treats me well. I love going there. 2nd - The place is definitely inclusive - just follow the rules and make reservations. I got turned away once - not because of how I thought the staff perceived us, but because they reserve space for people who make the effort. There are a lot of bars out there where you can just walk in and that is fine. The Seville is not one of them. Do yourself a favor and do the research and make the reservation - you will be super happy, have no worries when you head out, and have a great time!

Such a gorgeous place but the staff are so rude! I came downstairs as a guest of the hotel to see if there were any tables available. The hostess was very rude and demeaning since I didn’t make a reservation. Had no problem at another lovely bar just down the street. Do better

This is a sexy night club. The ambiance is nice the drinks were strong and the service was phenomenal.

Great atmosphere and awesome cocktails ! The music band make the expression so special and the bartender’s are just outstanding ! I’ve brought here almost every friend i know and I won’t stop doing it hehe

I love the vibe. It's laid back with dim lighting and that's a plus if you're looking for a more intimate place.

1ST of all Preston is a gracious & classy GM….reminds me of the hospitality NYC night life was known for once upon a time b4 Covid. So refreshing to meet it post Covid as the city opens her arms again. My cousin had his birthday here & it was all he wanted it to be. The live band is nice but the dj was on point!!!! I’m a private chef & don’t like pasta or bread /it’s not my “go-to” BUT that pasta was a 10 out of 10!!!! It was a long nail-sized pasta cooked all the way through but still firm cuddled up in some lamby-ness. The warm assorted breads made me eat it. The drinks are well made & delicious & generously boozy so I opted for prosecco & mocktail which did not disappoint. Lovely place worth getting dressed up for to drink & eat dishes made with passion in a vibe. WONDERFUL!

Great little spot with a consistently excellent crowd. Great service and ambience, and music!. Always have fun here.

Best music around! Small but they never overcrowd it. Strict dress code policy. Guys make sure you have nice shoes on, no sneakers. Great place to dance 💃

Good ambiance & good vibes. The service was decent. Food was good, but I feel they should have more choices. Live music was entertaining. Overall was a good evening experience.

Great drinks, amazing live music, really fun, swanky vibe. Service was tremendous, we were well taken care of. Make a reservation.

My favorite lounge in the city. Underneath the James hotel and associated with Scarpetta. Beautiful people, amazing music, fantastic cocktails. The door is tough but worth it if you can get in. Make a reservation for an easier entrance. Go on Wednesday for live music early, followed by the great DJ. Location - 8 Service - 8 Quality - 9 Ambiance - 10

Awesome ambiance! Came here for a drink Thursday late afternoon and they had live music playing hip hop & r&b from the 90’s, the night followed with a DJ. Didn’t get to try the food as the kitchen closes early. This place is a vibe, would recommend making a reservation. Suggest formal casual attire.

Beautiful place with good drinks and food, something people play over there so it’s very nice and romantic. The place is not big so there is not so many tables.

Dim-lit lounge in a beautiful ambience with delicious cocktails & spirit list, beautiful people and excellent service. Thursdays are the most popular night. Music is generally always hip hop and r&b from the 90’s with early evening having live music followed by a DJ as it gets late. Food is surprisingly tasty. The place is a vibe but make a reservation and dress nice.

The staff is very rude people of color beware! The manager jumped in my face told me and friends weren’t allowed.

The DJ was TOO loud. It was tough to talk even across the table. The drinks were great and I loved their decor. Would be perfect with the music turned down a little.

Their general manager kicked our friend and tried to start a fight. I have never seen more embarrassing management team in New York.

I had a great time. I went on a Thursday and got there 7ish and by 730 it was getting packed reservations are a must even to sit at the bar and I learned the bar is not guaranteed. I guess the sofa reservation I guess is a phone call.. The band was amazing it was a great vibe. Lay back and enjoy, no chips on shoulder or ego vibe.

Very Bad Experience yesterday night. No hostess and we went to the club but the waiter told us that they’re closed when we already were at the bar to order some drinks. Customers still going to the club anyway around 1/1:30 AM. The waiter also looked a little bit drunk. They kick me out. Never happened in New York City before. The worst!
