Apparently Michael B. Jordan is owner or partner of this speak easy type of lounge bar. Went randomly with a group of associates and I like the petite romantic aesthetic. The bar tenders, music, and some of the food were great! The bar tenders were friendly and attentive. They made delicious drinks and you get the alcohol for the price of drinks. I don't drink but ordered the moss mango ginger juice. My associates ordered coconut cocktail and nespresso martini which was strong. Also ordered a strawberry cocktail that was sweet but heavy alcohol which is a good thing. The food was decent but can be spicy. Petite Caribbean late night menu but we ordered veggie Pattie's and jerk chicken egg rolls which was the star choice. The jerk rolls come with a sweet spicy and jerk bbq sauce. The veggie Pattie's were spicy, but still needed flavor so we used the jerk rolls dip. I hope they change the recipe of the veggie patty, they seasoned it with just spices, couldn't taste the food and the breading wasn't flaky like traditional cooking. Least favorite item. All and all, this romantic dim lounge can get crowded but it's a great date, group meet up spot late night in lower Manhattan. The music is mostly 90s and 2000s rnb soul but a sight dance vibe. Definitely give this diverse lounge a try and wc are located under the stairs in rear and menu is available by QR code on bar or tables. 21+ individuals only.

I did not try the food so I can only give it 4 stars even though I loved it here! Now, as a former or recovering New Yorker it felt like the Twilight Zone when I walked in, I didn't realized Las Lap was housed in the former Spur Street spot at 74 Orchard St, and I will say not much has changed in the best of ways. The vibes are immaculate, the cocktails are stellar ($13 HH /$17 standard), the playlist is an old school to early 2000's sing-a-long, and all the food that passed by smelled amazing even though I did not taste. I went for happy hour just after 5, tables are reservation only and accommodate smaller parties, for a seat at the bar arrive early. Great place to strike up a conversation with a stranger or meet a few friends. Highly recommend.

The Lower East Side can be a bit overwhelming for those of us who have left our college days behind, but nestled among the bars frequented by NYU students is a true gem: Las' Lap. This spot guarantees a memorable night, even on a Wednesday evening. While it's not the largest bar, its coziness, excellent music, and welcoming atmosphere create a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The drinks are top-notch, and the food is even better. I savored curry chicken alongside some rum punches and a mezcal-based mixed drink--everything was impeccable. The bartender and staff were exceptional, and the music was superb. I will definitely be returning.

Went for apps and drinks on an off night, service perfect, music perfect. Can't judge how it is later and on weekends, but heard great things. Cocktails were great. Wine was pretty poor table wine, would avoid. Food was great--patties were flavorful with heat, especially the vegan. The veggie patty also happens to be vegan. Classic patty crust for the veggie, whole wheat for the vegan. Never seen coco bread the same cost as a patty though, which gave I heart NY tourism pricing but whatever works. Overall prices were reasonable anyways and it's a bar with curated food, not a patty shop, so we were pleased. Appreciate them doing a small menu well. Would love to return.

Las' Lap has a nice vibe to it. The downstairs has about 2 decent size tables and then I believe 2 side tables that seat 1-2 persons along with the bar. It can get kind of cozy in there, but they do have an upstairs seating area. I've visited various Caribbean food spots in the city and although this doesn't make my top restaurants list it's still a decent restaurant. The jerk chicken egg rolls were def my favorite and soO delicious. 5/5! I could go there and eat those alone with a delicious cocktail. The jerk chicken was also not bad, but I do wish that it had a bit more spice and flavor. The rice and beans were okay and felt as if they had been sitting out for a while (room temp) Overall, I think it's a nice place to stop by to have a few cocktails and apps before heading elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend coming with a big group as the place is quite small around the bar area. The staff is also friendly and the music was a vibe.

Absolute vibes. For all occasions you wanna to go to the late night spot with all the vibes but dont want to be where all the 24 years are on a sweaty dance floor. This is your spot - mature energy, good aesthetics, wonderfully curated cocktails, and awesome staff. Can't attest for the food, I never had it. Friday and Saturday it is buzzing. Best to go as pregame spot (8-9ish pm) or set up shop at 10:30pm at bar and stay all night. Only issue it is very tight in there. tight standing room. Also the number one worse part is the inconsistent cover charges in the front during late nights. That's annoying.

The beef patty was full of meat. The apps filled us up. Got the veggie, beef, jerk chicken egg roll and jerk shrimp sliders and was good. Liked the passionfruit moss and passionfruit mango (?) juice too. Nice and tart. Will be back to try entrees. Good attentive staff but one thing I will say is the place is a little small for large parties and you can quite literally hear what the next table is discussing in depth. This is a general space issue I believe because everywhere small and on top of each other here.

Went here on a Friday night around 10pm and it was pretty packed, only standing room. We didn't have an rsvp. I enjoyed the music and only stayed for a drink. The rum punch was good but it's definitely overpriced.

I've been to Las Lap many times over the years, on different days and different times and I've always enjoyed myself. I've come here for private birthday parties in the loft space, dropped by for brunch and more recently stopped by during the week day for happy hour. While the main floor is pretty small, we were lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar on a Wednesday evening. The cocktails we ordered were great and the music was exactly what I was hoping to hear (Reggae, Reggaeton, Soca etc) which put me in an upbeat mood to enjoy a rather mellow happy hour. Just be mindful since the space isn't very big, I'm guessing it' can get pretty packed on the weekends so probably not the best choice if you're rolling with a big group. But otherwise, good vibes all around!
