Warmly inviting and casually cool, the semiprivate Lounge sits just off AKB’s main bar — close enough to enjoy the spirited ambiance but with a more-intimate vibe. Below the retro-modern crystal chandelier and amid large-format prints of iconic 1950s city scenes that connect this industrial-chic gathering spot to the neighborhood’s heyday, guests nestle in comfortable soft seating and velvet couches.
