Kanvas

 

CLOSED
When it’s time to retire from those mega Chelsea clubs (or, let’s face it, you couldn’t get in), find your soul mate in this stylish lounge/bar/gallery. Visit the underbelly to groove out to DJs spinning catchy beats while downing strawberry mojitos ($4-$5 during happy hour, 4pm-8pm). Are you a my-way-or-the-highway believer? With Kanvas’s iPod sound system, you can choose the tunes. Upstairs, the softly lit lounge speaks to Wall Street money men who wash down caramel apple martinis on comfy couches. A smoker-friendly patio combined with the eye-candy staff is like catnip to the hip Chelsea crowd, and rotating art work keeps the bohemians coming back for more.

I've been to Kanvas quite a few times after work for drinks. I loved the laid back atmosphere. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an after work spot.

Hot (not fun) in the summertime

I had a birthday party here, and yes, I understand the NYC gets hot in the summer, but this was a bit much. Even with the front windows open, all of my guests were sweating up a storm. Either the AC wasn't working or wasn't turned on but we didn't even last two hours. The atmosphere was a lot different on the weekend as it was when I came after work to check it out. I understand the plight of the overworked wait staff, but I'd rather have a few more bartenders than try to flag down a tired waiter/waitress to bring me a single drink. Sorry, Kanvas, but I won't be coming back.

Never will go there again!!!

Kanvas used to be the place to just kick back and relax after a long day at work. They used to have a friendly staff that made you feel like you belonged. Well, not anymore.
