CITY SEARCH SAYS: Follow the pink neon light to find Rose, the first live music venue to land on Williamsburg's Grand Street stretch. The owner has personalized the space with familial touches--his grandmother's patterened chintz and sepia-toned wallpaper, shipped from Europe, dresses up a dark wood room filled with the usual booths. The mostly admission-free performances pull from the world over--see Latin jazz, tango and Afro-beat shows, and sometimes a set from a local DJ.
Comments
A Rose is like any other rose, except when it comes to Rose Lounge. The subtle lighting inside makes it a wonderland for couples. The newly opended wine cellar gives you the variety that no other lounge in Williamsburg offers you. The back patio reminds you of some small cafe in Italy. The Staff are brilliant. The owners C and G ( I wont give up your names) make you feel like family the first minute you come in. This is the first place that I have been to where the owners come and greet you and truly want to know about you. Their performances cannot be beat, from Latin percussion and Jazz, to classical music to old school salsa to hip hop. not to mention the DJ's that put on a great show for all. The drinks are greatly priced and they have some sort of specialized beer dispenser that the beer always comes out ice cold. This is where the heart goes to be free, the crowd is only overwhelming because they are so delightful, and you find it hard to believe that a place like this actually exist in NY. The place is virtually admission free with some exceptions which of course does not stop me from coming in, its worth the payment. I come here every week and I refuse to stop. ROSE lounge is a place where everyone and anyone can come to enjoy themselves. The stage is set in the middle in front of the patrons so that they too can be a part of the music. Rose lounge, the only rose I know without thorns.
