Located in Greenwich Village just one block from Union Square, Forum lures young professionals with the feeling of a high-end bar and an upscale lounge. After work, singles mingle at the beautiful fifty foot mahogany bar. Later on in the evening, the red rope comes out and a DJ heats things up on the dance floor. An inexpensive wine list lets you stick to your budget with glasses going for either $8 or $9. They also offer beer, champagne and specialty cocktails like the aptly named Julius Caesar (Vodka, Gran Marnier, Blood Orange puree and lime juice). The bar menu is perfect for drinking and snacking and a full menu satisfies larger appetites.
The upscale atmosphere and interior décor, including lit up white stone walls, poured concrete floors and Corinthian columns, makes this venue a popular event space. A projection screen, state of the art sound system and audiovisual compatibility allow for seamless business presentations. A full kitchen staff is on hand to cater private events.
