Reading some of the negative reviews of this place is honestly hilarious; a whole lot of people who…read moreclearly don't belong at a techno after hours and are entering not knowing why they're there. It's like showing up at a line dancing club and being upset they are playing country music. look, if you're unfamiliar with this culture, if you have never experienced being in the same room with someone on drugs before, if you're not well aware that bylaws prevent the sale of alcohol after 3am, or consider that operating such a venue is going to be costly and some of those costs are going to be handed down to the consumer - then yes, obviously don't go. Save yourself the $50 and the typing you'll have to do on a 1 star review later. This is not a venue where a site like Yelp is going to be of much use to you. If you're going here because you're aware of the reputation of this place for audiophile-quality sound, and enjoy underground dance music culture then you're going to have a good time. If you're only showing up because you're a tourist who is looking at a list of clubs and you see this one has some attention, it's probably best to steer clear. this type of thing isn't for everybody. it's mainly going to be big room techno, a genre that offers limited thrills to many of the uninitiated. if you already know you like this music, you'll be good. Stereo absolutely does live up to the hype in terms of its famous sound system, and it's a thoughtfully laid out club, and a fun, safe (honestly the people who feel unsafe are people unused to after hours dance party culture/seeing otherwise harmless people on drugs etc.) place to dance. However, a place like this is never going to have the romantic DIY underground appeal of a TBA warehouse party, or some european clubs, and as such is a little soulless and pulls a wealthier downtown crowd who are a little soulless themselves. Definitely a feast for the ears but I struggle to imagine having your absolute best dance floor memories at a place like this.

Easily one of the best clubs in North America. A lot of the negative reviews clearly come from…read morepeople who didn't bother to read the simple rules that are posted in huge font in multiples places around the entrance and coat check. The rules are straightforward: 1. No alcohol 2. No gum 3. No photos or videos (... also the unofficial rule that the right side is the gay side and the left is the straight side by the end of the night. It's not an actual rule, but a cultural thing). Complaints about it being alcohol-free, having gum taken away, or being told to put phones away miss the point entirely. Those are exactly the kinds of behaviors the club is trying to filter out, and it's part of what makes the experience what it is. Don't go expecting a flashy or luxurious venue. There is no VIP area on purpose - everyone in the club is considered equal. The lighting is minimal, and the layout is simple... mostly a large seating area and a big dance floor. You're there for the sound system, which is arguably the best currently functioning club speaker system anywhere on the planet, and for the atmosphere, which is on another level. There's a reason it consistently ranks among the favorite venues of top DJs worldwide.
