I can only speak on this place from what I've seen. I recently went on a Friday night because I heard it was reggae night.... I love reggae music, i've seen this place from the outside but it was my first time going in. It looked big, seemed like it would be fun. We put our names on the guest list, which gets you in free before 12. We get to the ladies that collect your money a few minutes before 12, she says the guest list is closed. It's $20 to get in.... which isnt a big deal except that its not even 12 yet. Im all about principle with these places, so that was strike 1. Strike 2... was the coat check. This lady made me check my scarf, jacket, and umbrella onto 3 different hangers.... Thats $9 just to hang some stuff up. Ridiculous.... so i go in the place...its just about 12, and its PACKED. The music is going, no problem.... except that i look around and a) im not impressed with the crowd at all.... I'm not sure how strict they are on saturdays but they were letting any old people in on Friday. From the young boys to the old heads.... dressed in god knows what. I wasnt even dressed my best, but i still felt over dressed compared to this. Acting a hot mess.... I dont go out to deal with the non-sense. And b) the place was much smaller than i expected.... Moving on, i go to the bar. Drinks are more expensive than at the Pegu Club!!! (high class martini bar in the west village) and im pretty sure i was being fed bankers club and other non-sense liquors that make you die.... at about $15 a pop. Needless to say $180 later, Its the worst club experience I've had since i moved to NY.... But to each his own, I expected more.
Pros: They played reggae
Cons: Everything else that followed....
