The Flatiron Room
8.2
A whiskey-leaning supper club with nightly live music energy, built for late nights that still feel like a sit-down occasion. The best move is to treat it like dinner plus a show: order a composed meal early, then settle in with a pour while the room warms up.
Must-Try Dishes:
Steak frites, Tuna tartare, Whiskey flight
Scores:
Value: 7.4
Service: 8.1
Consistency: 8.3
Food Quality: 8
Atmosphere: 9
Cultural Relevance: 8
What makes it special: Dinner-and-live-music late nights with a deep whiskey program.
Who should go: Dates and groups who want music with dinner
When to visit: Weeknight late for the smoothest experience
What to order: Steak frites, tuna tartare, a whiskey flight
Insider tip: Eat first, then lean into drinks once the set starts.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is very limited in NoMad, especially after 6pm; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy—jeans are fine, but this leans toward date-night polish rather than bar casual.
Noise level: Loud during live music sets—conversation is possible between songs but not ideal during performances.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, longer once live music sets begin.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—dinner and late-night focused.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited but workable—salads, sides, and a couple of composed starters.
Vegan options: Very limited—best for drinks rather than a full vegan meal.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free dishes available; staff can guide, but no dedicated prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you like energy—great for confident first dates who enjoy music and atmosphere more than quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible on weeknights if you arrive early; once live music starts, reservations are strongly recommended.
Is it kid-friendly? No—this is an adult-focused supper club with late hours, alcohol-forward service, and live music.
Best For
Better for: Late-night dinner that still feels like an event—live jazz energy paired with a serious whiskey program.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, broad dietary flexibility, or a purely food-driven experience without performance.
The Flatiron Room
8.4
A whiskey-forward lounge with live-music energy and a happy hour that feels designed for the after-work crowd: settle into the bar, keep the order tight, and let the room carry the vibe. It’s at its best when you treat it like a drinks-first hang with a few smart bites rather than a full dinner mission.
Must-Try Dishes:
Flatiron smash burger + Transmitter beer pairing, Spicy tuna roll, Roasted beet salad
Scores:
Value: 7.5
Service: 8.2
Consistency: 8.7
Food Quality: 8.3
Atmosphere: 9.1
Cultural Relevance: 8.2
What makes it special: Whiskey lounge glamour with a legit weekday happy hour menu.
Who should go: After-work drinks with music
When to visit: Mon–Fri 5–7 pm happy hour
What to order: Smash burger set, one roll, one cocktail
Insider tip: Sit at the bar for the smoothest happy hour flow.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: No valet. Street parking is limited and difficult after 6pm; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option.
Dress code: Smart casual to dressy. Jeans are fine, but lean polished—this is a lounge, not a bar-bar.
Noise level: Moderate to lively. You can hold a conversation early, but live music raises the volume later in the evening.
Weekend wait: 45–60 minutes without a reservation, especially during live music sets.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—this is primarily an evening and happy hour destination.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—limited but workable options among small plates and sides.
Vegan options: Very limited—best for drinks rather than food-focused visits.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some small plates and drinks work, but not a dedicated program.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—especially for drinks. The lighting, live music, and lounge energy create instant atmosphere, but plan to keep it cocktails-first rather than a full dinner.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Sometimes, but the bar is the safer bet. Tables fill quickly during happy hour and live music nights, while bar seating turns over more smoothly.
Is it kid-friendly? No. This is an adult-focused whiskey lounge with live music and a nightlife crowd.
Best For
Better for: After-work happy hour with live music, whiskey-forward cocktails, and date-night energy that feels elevated without being stiff.
Skip if: You want a quiet catch-up, a food-driven meal, or a budget-friendly happy hour—this is about vibe and drinks, not volume eating.
