No cover when we arrived but it seemed like they had a cover starting later for the DJs that night. If you arrive earlier in the night, you can grab a drink for the happy hour and find a spot to sit and chit chat. When we were there they had plenty of spots to sit. Bartenders were quick and attentive. The vibe is dark and divey. I didn't get make it tot he dance floor by my friend who did later around 2am said it was a good time. Drinks weren't too expensive though I did find them a little on the sweet side. Might be fun to start with one and then go for the standard vodka soda. I'd come back her for the vibes but not the drinks.

If you've been to Rise in Manhattan, this is basically the Brooklyn version--but with a few key differences: they start charging a $10 cover after 10pm on weekends, the music leans more disco, and the bathroom situation is...rough. There are only two toilets, so the line gets long fast and people start getting a little tense. That said, ANIMAL still hits. It brings a classy, slightly retro vibe to Williamsburg that you don't really get anywhere else, and there's a reason the line is always wrapped around the block.

The music was good, the crowd is fun, but unfortunately the energy from the management and bar…read morestaff was so overwhelmingly hostile and entitled. A friend of ours was trying to throw out an empty can while we were heading in (instead of leaving it on the street) and they berated her for even holding it at the door. When she went to throw it away (at the only trash can that's just past the bouncers) they screamed at her and told her she wasn't allowed in anymore. They then continued to talk down on her even when we were "lucky they were being nice" as she tried to contact the rest of the group that was already in for help. Whether it was intentional or not, it felt like they were stereotyping her. Basically, if you're a white guy, you'll have a great time!

You'll find everything from disco parties to drag performances (including queens from RuPaul's Drag Race), plus Survivor and The Traitors watch parties. The circuit parties are always a good time, but if you need a breather, the back patio is clutch. In the summer, the big outdoor downstairs space opens up, and if the weather's nice, it turns into a "who's who" of gay NYC. There's also a food stall out on the patio that absolutely comes through when you need a late-night bite.

ATM in there is super convenient as I totally forgot cash and needed it for the show lol. I plan to come back for many more events. Amazing night, and I can't say enough how welcoming it feels there. I came alone, and was a little nervous but everyone was so warm that I had so much fun and even met some new people. Really great place to socialize and just enjoy yourself.

Our bartenders, Mike and I cannot remember the woman's name, were very friendly and chatty with my friend (another African American male) and me. I will admit that we visited the bar on a weeknight so there were not a lot of other visitors in the establishment. Luckily, I did not have the same negative experience as some of some of the other reviewers. I hope this means that the establishment has changed some of it business practices. I guess time will tell.

I understand this is something they have a rule against, but we didn't know upon entering the restroom. We are a group of women who just always go into together. I was literally pulling my pants down when a bouncer started banging on the door, yelling that we leave the restroom. I hurried to get myself decent again and we opened the door to a bouncer who said "if y'all are gonna do drugs in here, go one at a time." So, we were not doing drugs, several of us just had to piss. Shocker. Anyway, we go one at a time, and while we're waiting on each other, somebody is on the mic going " who has drugs? Give us your drugs!" So obviously that was pretty ironic given how we were just accosted and accused of doing drugs when we weren't. Get it together.

However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
