Looking for NYC Bar suggestions (Bachelorette Party)

I had posted awhile back about Hoboken Bars.. my sister is my MOH and she really wants my input on where I want to go for my bachelorette party.

We had decided on Hoboken, and narrowed it down to either 200 Lounge or Room 84 (leaning towards Room 84 because we liked the bottle service package better). We've never been to either place, so I'm only going by input here, and on Yelp.

I really want to go somewhere with good dance music, where I won't feel like the oldest person there (I'll be 33), with a good crowd on a Friday night in September, and somewhere that has a good bottle service package.

So now I'm wondering if we can find a better place to go in NYC. I really have no experience with any NYC bars. The only place I've ever really been like this, is 230 Fifth (went there for a friend's Bachelorette party). I really like that place, but don't want go to there because we were just there for her party, and I want mine to be different.

Does anybody have suggestions of places in NYC similar to 230 Fifth?
TIA!!

    I am in my 30's and mine was here  http://www.lipsnyc.com/
    It was an absolute blast, after we went to a karaoke bar around the corner.

    ooh, yeah I've heard about that place. Don't think it is for me though.

    Not sure what the responses will be like since it's really slow, but maybe try posting on the NYC board, too.

    I really like the Gansevoort Hotel, Tao, and Lavo.

    <div>Me too. Mid-30's and went to Lips last Saturday.  So entertaining!  My girls loved it.  Finding good bars afterwards, however, was difficult.</div>

    -This!  Any place you go in the Meatpacking district is very posh, and have pretty lounges with a diverse crowd and not too many creepers.  I wouldn't suggest LIPS unless you like getting up on stage and doing some more embarrassing things.  Also try the Empire Lounge, it's a rooftop bar on the top of the Empire hotel by Lincoln Center.

    We did LIPS, High Bar then Taos. You could also check out 230 fifth. It has a rooftop bar with an amazing view of the Empire State Building. They also have dancing inside on the floor below.

    Mé bar in Korea town is a nice roof top bar , though small. Great view of the Empire state building though. It's on top of La Quinta hotel. I like Beauty Bar as a fun bachlorette party spot too.

    As I said, I was just at 230 fifth for my friend's B-Party, so we want to try somewhere different. :)
