This past weekend we had my girlfriend's 30th bday at 49 Grove. The space itself leaves a lot to be desired, it reminds me of a high school party at a friends house in his basement when his parents are away. There's not a lot of room to move let alone dance, and the "back rooms" they provide are disconnected from the rest of the place. They also had a flat screen in the room itself but it was broken.
The stafff was nice and responsive but only because I made sure of it by sweetening the deal for them. The manager was also accessible as well if/when we had any issues. With that said their billing department and their follow through has been awful to date. They mischarged me for the night, TWICE, and even though my bank is saying both charges were placed by 49 Grove, they don't seem to have a record of it which has become very annoying to deal with and I'm skeptical to their claim that this "never happens."
My suggestion is you either go to 49 Grove randomly so you're not trapped there if you hate it or find an alternative place to have a party cause this place did not live up to the hype.
