NYC nightlife has definitely taken a hit since COVID, but Bentley's has managed to hold onto its vibrant energy. This spot has been a Brooklyn staple for years, I've been coming here since it had a different name, and if you know, you know.
Bentley's is best known for hosting top-tier Caribbean live shows. If a major Caribbean artist is performing in Brooklyn, chances are they're hitting this stage. The venue is huge, and after recent renovations, it's sleek and modern inside. There are plenty of spacious VIP booths too which is perfect if you're celebrating with a group.
A few tips if you're planning a night out here:
* This is a traditional nightclub, so expect a cover charge. It varies by event, but if there's a major artist performing, it can run you $50-$100.
* The bar can get very crowded, so if that's not your vibe, consider booking a section with friends to avoid the wait.
* Ladies, the main floor is upstairs--so plan your footwear accordingly!
* Lastly, skip driving if you can. Parking gets tight once the crowd shows up, and it's safer (and smarter) to just grab an Uber, especially if you're planning to drink.
Overall, Bentley's continues to bring the energy and culture Brooklyn nightlife is known for. Highly recommend if you're looking for a lively, authentic Caribbean night out. read more
