Profile
Bagatelle’s entry into the exclusive basement lounge genre is the type of place where Brazilian models and mixologists with complicated facial hair feel right at home. If you pass muster, you’ll be ushered hush-hush down a deliberately nondescript flight of stairs and into a large room that -- with its Thai-silk couches, vintage Victorian chairs, and shock-value surrealist artwork -- looks a bit a grand foyer on acid. Some standout details amid the clutter: giant candle-holders that look heisted from the Vatican; an antique foosball game; electric-green palms; an ironically Old-Master-styled painting of a pug; and one particularly questionable painting of a woman in the throes of ecstasy.

Very Chic
NYCDucky from 10001 | Posted on 9/27/09
It was my frist time going there, i didnt even know how to find it. there was a huge crowd of people there waiting to get. Everyone that was going in seemed to be 6'2 european models. luckly my friend knows some people and got us in, or else i feel like we could have never gotten in. Once in the Enviroment felt awesome, very calm fresh feeling. the music was great and so were the people, very friendly. the bathroom were very cute too. It's def my new favorite club.
Exclusivity at its Best

When you call the office to make a table reservation, you learn that "RdV is currently not open to the public." Luckily, my business partner is on the permanant guest-list for this private lounge. The design is timeless. One moment you feel as if you are lounging in a room in the early 20th century, yet you are on modern fabrics, staring at a painting frame straight out of the 16th century.The thought-process that went into the design of this space is meticulous and truly ahead of its time. The lighting in RdV is low and soft, creating a calm and peaceful ambiance. It is perfect for a romantic night out, or a night where you simply want to sit and talk to your friends over a few drinks. It is stylish, sexy and private. Alltogether, a great experience.
