A lot of fun with pool tables, ping pong, and fun games. The bar has great drinks. The DJ had great music upstairs and downstairs. Would highly recommend this place

Food and drinks were dissatisfying but relatively cheap. Great for renting out for a corp event but wouldn’t recommend for a casual drop in. Cute games and layout but generally underwhelming compared to what is presented online. Felt more like a Pub, nightlife is most likely better there.

This place was fantastic; the food was 10/10 and the drinks were delicious. The staff was really busy, but friendly and accommodating, even though we went during the busiest hour. Shoutout to Joe Cusmano for being swift with answering emails and helping us organize things.

This place is fun for a late night vibe. At around 11pm they open up the first floor dance floor, and that makes it feel like a club. Below is the gaming area with a bar. They have pool tables, bowling, and various other games. It’s sometimes difficult to get a game you want to play, so come earlier in the night. Drinks are ~$15. No cover fee.

Response from the owner

From pool, bowling, and arcade-style games to craft cocktails and nightlife vibes, we aim to create one of the most unique social destinations in New York City. We appreciate the tip about arriving earlier for games and hope to welcome you back again soon for another great night out at Slate NY!

Was at Slate for the UMiami vs Indy college football game. Screen turned off many times, no sound many times and fire alarm ringing starting at 3rd quarter lasting for a long time. If everyone wasn't focused on UM, people would be furious. What is going on Slate? Can't handle the heat? A mess......

The staff was rude, unprofessional, and trashy from the bouncers to the waitresses. Came here with my bf and a friend, paid $20 each to get in (which was fine) but then was told to spend $100 in drinks just to play 1 game by waitresses. We could understand paying a reasonable amount but $100 seemed like a scam so we asked other guests and were told that the waitresses did not tell them to spend any specific amount. Whenever we asked for drinks or asked to play games the waitresses were very rude and wouldn’t want to help us. And the music and food were terrible, the drinks were okay but the service was slow. The staff acts like they don’t want to work there yet it’s their job and the place was not that busy. They must have different management b/c in 2022 & 2023 we came here and the service and staff were great, professional, and fast and you could play games without spending a certain amount, and the DJs used to be great. And this was when Slate used to be even more packed with people. Unfortunately, this place has gone downhill. After our distasteful experience at Slate NYC, we went to Moxie Hour rooftop lounge and had a truly amazing time with great service and professionalism. We’ve had better experiences at bars than this place. Don’t waste your time here.

Came here for my company’s holiday party and it was chill for the most part. Games were fun. Food and drinks were fine. But the behavior of the bouncer and the woman at the front desk was awful and completely unprofessional.<br>One of my coworkers stepped outside to take a call from his mother and the bouncer refused to let him back in, even though he had a wristband and was clearly part of our group.<br>It was also quite warm, so a group of us were by the door trying to cool off. We were not blocking the door and there was plenty of space around us. The woman at the front desk yelled at us and made a large shooing gesture at us.<br>Fun was had, but these experiences soured the evening and a few coworkers and I left early. Can’t say I’d rush to go back and I highly doubt they will be getting my company’s business ever again.

Had an office holiday party. Fun vibes due to the games and slide. Food was mid. Half the staff was rude and half were friendly. We continued to hang out after the official party ended. Were told to move. Would've stayed longer and ordered more drinks and food had they been more gracious.

Had a blast for a friend’s b-day. Drinks were strong as hell 😂 I had to dilute it with juice twice(2x). Will definitely be back in the near future 🥂

Came with my bestie for birthday, we thought the nightclub was open but got disappointed when it said it wasn’t. The atmosphere was very boring and our first server didn’t seem interested in anything. So we decided to go sit at the bar. BEST DECISION EVER!! Moriah was behind the bar and was an amazing server and bartender!☺️ Turned our experience better since she was honest and amazing. I’d come back here if she’s working and the nightclub was working but my bestie and I agreed that her service and hospitality was the best part of coming here 😁😁 The games were cool!

Slate NYC – A Whole Vibe from Start to Finish<br><br>Pulled up to Slate NYC for a birthday and had a time! From the jump, security was cool, cracked jokes—set the tone for the night.<br><br>Downstairs was spacious and vibey (FYI: AT&T users, signal might dip but there’s WiFi). Shoutout to Krissi, our waitress—super sweet, just be patient, she’ll take care of you.<br><br>The food? Fire. Tacos, garlic parm wings, fries—everything hit. No videos because we were too busy eating.<br><br>Our suite had games—darts, Jenga, Connect Four, plus pool tables, foosball, arcade games, giant UNO and more. It’s a fun spot, not just a “stand around and look cute” kind of place.<br><br>When the DJ hit, it was up. She even took requests and had the whole room singing. Once it hit 2am, they moved the party upstairs—and that’s when the club started clubbing. Bottle service, energy, music—10/10.<br><br>If you’re looking for a spot with good vibes, great food, games, and music that’ll have you lit all night—Slate is it. I’m definitely coming back.

Slate NY is an experience, not just a venue! 🎉<br>Came here for a work event and was seriously impressed — where else can you enter via a slide 🛝 and immediately be surrounded by arcade games 🎯, multiple levels 🆙, and flexible event spaces that cater to any vibe?<br><br>Whether you’re hosting something corporate 💼, social 🥂, or just plain fun 🎲, Slate has the perfect setup. The space is smartly designed to keep groups separate but energized — and the coat check is a lifesaver 🧥✅.<br><br>Bonus: It’s conveniently located between Grand Central 🚆 and Penn Station 🗽, so getting there is a breeze. Definitely a go-to spot for memorable events in the city! 🌆

🔥 A Spot You Just Can’t Miss! 🔥<br>One visit and I was hooked – this club has it all: amazing vibes, great music, crazy cool design, and tons of fun, unique games that take the experience to the next level.<br>Between dancing, laughing, and challenges – there’s never a dull moment!<br><br>If you’re looking for the perfect night out with good energy, this is the place to be.<br>🎶🎯🙌

Super cool, vibrant & different lounge/club with a slide to express yourself down into the fun (I found this extremely dope). On the main floor there is a bar and the club, down is the game level with massive space to entertain yourself with the arcade games, mini bowling section, jenga or lounging plus this is a great place to watch sports or events. I went on a Saturday night and of course the place was packed with good music and good vibes, I enjoyed myself with my husband while there yet in my opinion I think we would have had more fun & enjoy better all the games if we came with our own crew, definitely this is the spot to come with a group of friends.
