Etro Lounge is a neighborhood bar & lounge geared towards the social drinker where you can appreciate the unique interior in more ways than you would expect to find in some of your upper midtown establishments with an industrial twist.

Music during the week varies from indie, electro, EDM, and 80's underground, while a DJ spins during the week and at night with the same taste in the style of music.
