Jane Hotel Lobby Bar Hosts Away
Recent rumors have spread that the Jane Hotel's booze plans are going nowhere fast, mainly due to community board issues and pushback from its Jane Street neighbors. We never bought it, since Socialista managed to open and operate for a time in the space and get along OK. Well, unless you count that whole Hep A scare. Mostly the delays are because owners Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson simply take their time to get things right, which is why the planned April opening has slipped in June. However, certain events are beginning to take advantage the new lobby bar, with a small little film premiere party being held in the space last night. Since there is no pending application for the hotel on the Community Board's June calendar and CB's don't meet in July, we expect the Jane to try and wrap up the roof top application in August, allowing for 1-3 months of sweet Hudson views.

Forget about The Jane lobby bar. The ACE lobby bar is where it's at!!!
ace is not that cool and in a terrible location. big giant room and the whole style of its design has been done to death in nyc.
Jane bar is beautiful... I've seen it. Hope they get the liquor license soon!
Fat chance getting liquor license Jane, the odds are stacked against you: politician's dream of poor, helpless SRO tenants live in the hotel and fight you with every last ounce of energy to shut you down, ultra-wealthy residents next door, behind you, across the street do NOT want bars with loud music and abnoxious cellphone yellers and smokers...
snow ball's chance in hell they will open a 5,000 ft^2 night club AND 1,000 ft^2 bar/restaurant AND rooftop bar.
