Had the most amazing time here. I was only in NYC for one night (saw Taylor Swift in Pittsburgh) and had a lay over before I flew back to Toronto.

This bar is the absolute best time. It’s not pretentious or condescending in the way many NYC bars are. The bartenders, servers and security all are so fun and so gracious. The crowd is so fun, it was such a good time meeting so many fun, party people from NYC. One of my favourite nights out I’ve ever really had. 10/10 recommend, especially as a person visiting NYC under 30 - SO fun and unreal vibes!

If I could give 10 stars, I would. I had my rehearsal dinner the Friday before my wedding at Hotel Ocho, and it was the most amazing event. Sela (event coordinator) goes above and beyond in every way. She answers emails, phone calls and questions instantaneously. She is gracious and patient and brings the best, genuine, upbeat vibes to your event while catering to your every need. I cannot say enough good things. All of the staff at Hotel Ocho are amazing, every server and bartender was the perfect balance of fun and polished professionalism, especially the manager Morgan, who goes above and beyond! The staff here really add the extra sparkle to an already awesome space. The venue itself is gorgeous, the food is amazing...it's hard for me to picture having an event anywhere else in the future.

10/10.
