Pogby Review: SideBar

Sports bar’s have the misfortune of being lumped together by unwary denizens. All too often when he hear of an establishment being described as a sports bar we automatically think of generic “sports bar qualities”; large, impersonal, serving greasy overpriced wings, a monstrosity that ruefully represents modern day Americana.   Fortunately SideBar, located on 118 East 15th street, redefines what connoisseurs’ have come to expect from sports bars, proving that it certainly is possible to stand-out in an era where businesses all to happily adopt cookie-cutter exteriors.

Comfortably situated in Gramercy, many have described SideBar as a “chic sports bar with an urban attitude”.  While we at Pogby.com whole heartedly agree with this sentiment to us, however, SideBar is much more than just a pleasant night spot; it is an emerging NYC venue poised to rewrite how events have been perceived. Upon entering SideBar one can’t help but be spell-bound by the Front Bar (cap. 150), with its elegantly carved Bauhaus-inspired  wall tastefully dotted with numerous liquor bottles and 7 HD TV’s,  it is an entertainment lover’s dream.  Due to its proximity to the venue’s entrance, events held at this event space can be run so that they have either a private or a semi-private feel, depending on your choosing.  This event space comes connected with its very own DJ booth, and can even be transformed into a dance floor with a little rearranging.

Great offerings in the Front Bar space include the Open Bar (mid shelf) packages where for only $35 per person, guests can enjoy an assortment of domestic and imported beverages for a full 2 hours enjoying all that SideBar has to offer.

For the event planner looking to entertain a slightly smaller audience SideBar’s has its famed Mezzanine (cap. 50) space specifically for that need. Nestled comfortably along the inside perimeter of the venue, this event space overlooks the front bar.  Separated by a railing, the Mezzanine has a semi-private feel to it, enjoying the bustling ambiance of the bar yet not being subject to the discomforts that come with a crowd. Equipped with its own DJ booth and allowing for conversion into a dance floor, this event space is well suited for any birthday party or after-work company happy hour.  Pogby.com is currently offering great deals in this space. For example, the Open bar (well) package is available for just $40 per person allowing you and 50 peers to mingle for a full 3 hours, celebrating (or unwinding) to your own tunes.

If exclusivity and refinement are your most important criteria, SideBar’s BackLounge (cap. 100) will more-than satisfy those needs. Snugly hidden away behind the Front bar, the Back Lounge has an ambiance all of its own.  Serving as prime real-estate any given weekend, for those looking to mingle the Back Lounge maintains that allure for private events as well. With lavish velvet curtains partitioning it off from the rest of the venue, and booths of the softest Mohairs dotting its interior, it is no wonder why many have described this event space as intimate.

Over the years it has garnered a reputation as West Chelsea’s most avant-garde and chic venue with its turn-of-the-century interior and high profile clientele.

Our visit there proved them to be nothing but superb, providing ideas and information to get the most out of any event.

Pogby Review: Pop Burger (Midtown)

Which NYC venue has been frequented by stars such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Matt Dillon and also hosted events for Sports illustrated and Buzz Media? It surprisingly isn’t a super exclusive location catering to only the bourgeois, in fact it is none other than Pop Burger, located at 58-60 9th ave. Notable for remaining one of the last reasonably priced chic burger joints in NYC Pop Burger, however, is so much more than just a pleasant eatery. Pop Burger is also growing, with two locations in Midtown and Meatpacking, there are two more planned for opening later in the year. The Midtown location is right next to Central Park and at the top of one of the most popular areas for shopping in NYC. Its exterior curiously dotted with spherical convex windows Pop Burger, even before entering, is a crowd pleaser. Upon passing through its doors one can’t help but notice the unique décor of the place. Themed after the timeless progressive aesthetic of Andy Warhol, while also taking into account the comfort of the customer, Pop Burger elegantly balances beauty with functionality. While the manager playfully told us that the “Pop” in Pop Burger doesn’t officially stand for anything we both agreed that if it had to there’d be no better definition for it than “Pop Culture”. Labeling Pop Burger’s vibe as solely pop culture influenced can be misleading, however, in that people generally tend to fixate the term “pop culture” to present day trends. Perhaps, to avoid being incorrectly pigeonholed, “youthful” is what best encompasses the ambience of this event space; I mean how else do you describe their Jean Prouve molded plywood Antony chairs and rock-concert sound system?

Maintaining a reputation earned through their delectable cuisine of combining class with affordability, Pop Burger manages to do just that with their event space rates as well. Ideal for both corporate functions and personal parties, The Lounge/Bar (cap. 130), located on the 2nd floor, is an event planners sandbox. With its own private entrance and fully stocked bar, this event space is perfectly suited for those looking to keep things hassle-free. Pogby.com is presently offering great deals on this event space for August and September ONLY – Open Bar Packages with NO RENTAL FEE! Their Lounge Open Bar (cap.130) package for instance at only $20 a person, you and 130 others can enjoy an open bar for a full hour, additional time comes at a meager $10 an hr/per person.

For those looking to entertain a smaller more select crowd Pop Burger’s got you covered with their 3rd floor Pool room/Den (cap.40). While slightly smaller in size this event space is just as well ordained with fantastic amenities. Containing its own DJ booth, for which an in-house DJ can be hired for a nominal fee, a full bar and a pool table there is no end to the fun that can be had here. For only $25 per person you and 40 other guests, for a full hour, can enjoy the premium/top shelf beverages in one of the hottest spots in NYC! Look under Pool Room Open bar on pogby.com to book. Elegant yet affordable Pop Burger is one venue every event planner should look into. With a staff that’s both knowledgeable and efficient, planning an event here is a breeze for those hosting and a thrill for those attending. Allowing for  outside catering on items they’re unable to provide, Pop Burger will bend over backwards for the event planner; it is truly no wonder how they’ve managed to maintain themselves in such a competitive and niche market. In an era where good reputations are hard to come by Pop Burger has yet to be derailed; earning fans one satisfied client at a time.
