169 BAR IS AVAILABLE FOR PARTIES & EVENTS! If your looking for a fantastic, warm and fun New Orleans flavored bar/tavern, to hold a birthday or other special event, you could not do better than making a reservation the 169 Bar. Please contact Charles, in advance at astrochuck@hotmail.com AND TEXT 2126410357 to make sure I get the reservation request. For last minute "day of" reservations, just use the text line 2126410357 after 4pm, instead of email. RESERVATION POLICIES We are happy to make seated reservations, from two to 25. The areas available are up by the front window, max of 25 seated, plus 20-30 standing for parties of 40-50. Two table areas; tables for up to 11, in the middle of the bar, a group of tables for up to 15 in the corner booth facing the main room. With an expanded backroom capacity we can now offer a simi-private party space for up to 50 standing, and about 24 seated. All party, event & table reservations are organized like any restaurant, we expect all guests, reserved to be seated, to arrive no later than 30 minutes past reservation time. In all cases, table reservations are for two hours, longer at our discretion. Tables are to be used for sitting and ordering food and drinks, not coat check (unless you have reserved a BOO) If you are not sitting at your tables or ordering through a server and/or text ordering, your tables will be given to a party who wants to use the table for its intended purpose, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAD A RESERVATION OR NOT. We request that all sitting at a table order through a server or text order. The server, is allowed and just as likely, if not more so, to give you buy backs, stiff drinks, and freebies, as the bartender. As long as you are nice, respectful & generous. It makes no sense to walk to the bar and struggle back to your table, with a handful of drinks and wait on your own table. For last minute "DAY OF" reservations before 10:30, or to ask to be seated to avoid standing in line (typically only on weekends after 10:30) text 212-641-0357 2126410357 and state the amount of people in your party and your name. We will text you back and make arrangements for your table. Once we get you a table, you will be allowed in, past the line. For this service, and only on weekends when theres a line, we ask a $25 minimum order per person, IF and ONLY IF, there is a line. If there is no line you can just walk on in, no minimum. Some of the following policies are generally more enforced on weekends when space is at a premium. Please do not allow your guests to think of your invitation and reservation as a "guest list" to be used at anytime of the night. For guests to have priority over any possible line out front when its busy, guests must arrive no later than 10:30. We will only be able to allow the number of guests you made the reservation for, others will have to wait on line. We cannot make advance reservations later than 10pm for groups greater than 10 on weekends. We can make "day of" reservations through the text line. 2126410357 ________ WE ARE HAPPY TO ANOUNCE OUR OYSTER BAR AND KITCHEN RECEIVED AN "A" ON OUR HEALTH DEPT RATING!!
