A cute vibe. It is definitely dated and make shifty when it comes down to security, tickets, not accepting Apple Pay, the list goes on. I get it’s typical for a club to charge $500+ for 2 bottles in NYC, but this venue is tripping with those prices.

The d.j’s are good, we went on a Saturday night. It was supposed to be r&b night but it was everything in between. They play a lot of songs from the early 2000’s. I didn’t see a food menu, and I wouldn’t eat from there at all anyway.

The bartenders are nice enough, but the bar is very dated and looks like a pile of plastic in front of old bottles of alcohol. I think if they want people to pay for those sections, they need to create an atmosphere that is worth it. If the owner reaches out, I’d happily advise on cost effective updates that will transition from a 2013 Webster hall vibe, to a happening Williamsburg lounge/bar.

Place is selling the drinks as if they are a high end rooftop club. I paid $45 plus tip for a shot of Jack Daniel’s and a Tito’s cranberry. Sound system is really loud and not great. However, dancing was fun despite how many times they played the same songs. Despite the other reviews, our experience with the bouncer and staff was pretty good

WARNING TO WOMEN: we were here on May 4th for Beegees night. Watched a man put something in an unattended drink belonging to a woman. We reported this to the bartender and identified the man who did so. The bartender did not take any action against the man nor did he inform the woman when she came back. All the bartender did was replace the drink.

Truly sickening to witness this.

It's unacceptable in this day and age for a club of all places to not accept card, expect to see signs everywhere to pay everything by cash and I'm glad I didn't bring any from the reviews the prices are outrageous.

Went to the place for a Yoi Toki concert, the music and dj didn't let me down but the absolutely garbage service did. I couldn't even Zelle for a coat check, the ATM was no help either because it was busted and the one was "working" didn't accept the card. The ATMs look they were there since the 90s, owners must be really cheap even though the prices are so high.

Couldn't even enjoy myself without having to worry about getting thirsty since it's CASH ONLY. Want to go out to drink outside? Too bad because all EXITS are FINAL. Trash.

I liked this venue, it's not the trendiest but they had great music. I came to the tame impala dance party, I didn't have to pay for seating or a coat check. Safe, clean, spacious, and good music. The drinks I kept simple cause it got busy.

I've been to this club a handful of times and had great experiences each visit!

The disco balls and lights make for great atmosphere during their Daft Disko parties! (If you're looking for a similar vibe of future funk/disco, look up Yoi Toki parties on Instagram that are hosted here as well, so much fun and the vibes are immaculate!)

Lots of space to dance, and there is seating off to the sides when you need a break. It can get crowded midway through the night so coming right when they open at 10pm is a great idea if you want more room.

Drinks are okay, not the best I've ever had, but certainly not the worst. Expensive, but that's due to the location, so I don't count that against them. I suggest just getting shots to be economical.

Coat check is 4 bucks and never had any trouble with security here. The ladies who check your bags and give you a pat down are polite and friendly and keep the line moving to get everyone inside in a timely manner.

Food trucks are nearby and open all night, great for a quick snack after drinking and dancing all night. Usually Mexican food, I suggest getting a chicken quesadilla and horchata, can't go wrong with those.

Leaving a petty review just because they wouldn’t give me a cup of water at the bar when I was feeling faint from dancing and I had been buying HIGHLY overpriced alcohol from them all night so I just felt like it was the decent thing to do as an establishment taking care of drunk people not to try and charge me $5 for it. And shots should not be $12, couldn’t even get a beer for less than $9. Otherwise the night was decently good, I enjoyed the music but there was virtually no transitions between songs and they couldve used more beat/added elements. I feel like they were trying extra hard to be respectful when patting people down at the door and there were places to sit down which was good!

It’s a great time and has a really good space for parties and middle tier to up and coming talent but “Bro culture” continues to seep in from Manhattan so very belligerent and annoying people can be found here on select nights. Sound & projections are great though.
