Very good place. Very good drinks at just the right prices. And a very good, sexy crowd. Try it at least once.

Deity provided us with the wedding we dreamt of, and more ! From start to finish, we were completely accommodated, and our perfect wedding came to life on the big day. From touring the venue, to the food tasting, to our pre-wedding meeting with the staff, all the way up through the big day... every detail was seamless. We are still hearing great feedback from our guests months after our wedding... Deity is such a beautiful and timeless space, with staff who deliver! read more

Pretty cool lounge, atmosphere is good...I went there a couple sunday nights last summer where they had reggae nights and once on a Saturday, bouncers are pretty cool as well as bartenders read more

Diety stands alone! I was here on a Wednesday night and not rain or late subway trains could hold me back. My friend and I came in to this spot like we had a theme song, break on three, you hit the dance floor, I hit the bar, BOOM! The place had some good music, the dance floor was small but when you get down, theres always room. The drinks were fair priced and the doods were cool and quick. Come here if you like good music, good crowds and good times. read more

We are thrilled with our decision to have our wedding at Deity. When we first reached out for a quote, we thought that surely it was too good to be true -- except that it was all true! From the beginning, the staff at Deity were quick and clear with their communication, completely transparent with their (very reasonable) pricing, and made our wedding planning process exponentially easier. I was pleasantly shocked by how much is included in their packages -- a day-of-coordinator, catering, table linens and candle decor, and even a DJ. The space is unique and beautiful, with three floors that give each part of your event a different vibe. We had 108 guests at our wedding and had plenty of room, and could have comfortably fit more people. They also have an incredible bridal suite that I highly recommend renting to stay in overnight -- it made our experience all the more special! On the day of our wedding, every detail was executed flawlessly. The food and wine were delicious, the staff made our guests feel welcome, and the DJ was so awesome that our guests didn't want to stop dancing at the end of the night. Most of all, we never had to think twice about a single thing. We had many DIY decor items and personal details, and nothing was overlooked. Everything ran smoothly. We would barley mention a need and the staff would take care of it. It meant so much to know that we were in expert hands from beginning to end. Deity gave us the Brooklyn wedding of our dreams, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

I go to Deity most Wednesday nights for their Salsa Fever party. Held in the lower level this party is hot! The music is a mix of Salsa, Merengue & Bachata. I found the crowd friendly, the bartenders quick & generous and the lack of pretension refreshing. I also went one Sat. night and while the music was different the vibe was the same. I think it's tough to find a good place to dance in this part of Brooklyn and Deity definitely serves it up. I'd recommend checking it out. read more

My husband and I had our wedding at Deity on 10/08/16, and couldn't be happier that we chose Deity as our venue!!!! Our goal in planning this wedding was to be stress free, and we definitely achieved that! Caio, the owner of the venue, is super super helpful---he responded to all of our emails quickly, and addressed all of our questions and concerns. He listened to what was our vision for the night, and ensured that it came true. Also, it needs to be noted that if you are looking for a "different" type of wedding, you will certainly get that at Deity. The decor of the building is absolutely gorgeous that we literally did not need to purchase any decorations besides the centerpieces for the dinner tables. Each floor is unique and elegant in its own right. Additionally, the night of our wedding, my husband and I were treated like gold by Yulia and all the staff (James was awesome running the bar, Tom was an absolute gentleman as well as all the other staff members). Yulia is literally a gem! She made me feel like a queen and my husband a king. She kept the night running so smooth, and our families loved her. She ensured that everyone felt like royalty. She is truly an amazing person to work with. Also, we were so so concerned about our guests and family being "confused" by the layout and flow of our wedding, as our family are so used to the "typical Long Island wedding." But the next day, our families literally could not stop talking about how cool and different our wedding was. All in all, we are so happy with how everything turned out for our wedding. All of the vendors we used (which were all recommended by Deity) were absolutely amazing! We had a total of 123 guests and we felt like that was the perfect number of people to fit in the venue space. We also wanted to mention that the food was delicious (since good food is essential at a wedding)!! It is family style, which our guests loved because rather than ordering their meal and then having to wait to be served, once everyone was seated for dinner, all the trays of food were served on the tables, and since it is family style, everyone can try a little of everything! We would HIGHLY recommend Deity as the perfect venue for your wedding! The staff are amazing there and Caio is awesome to work with! Our night was unforgettable! read more

Went to a private party so I don't know what this place is like on a regular friday or saturday, but I did like it. They do have one vip booth with some comfy couches, but other than that, nowhere to sit! Good dj, good drinks, I would go again. read more

I can't thank you enough, Caio and Christine. What a night this was. You have my highest recommendation, and I will be happy to be a reference or write a proper testimonial for you. My son's Bar Mitzvah celebration tonight was perfect. The food, the service, the music, the efficiency with which you got everything together.... and your good advice on all the big and small details... was all a truly wonderful experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope some of my friends have their parties here so I can have the opportunity to be a guest. Have I said thank you?? read more

I really wished that I was a guest at my own wedding. On my wedding day, everything was streamlined and no one was bored. Every single one our guests talked about how beautiful the space was and how much they loved the food. The Deity team was so accessible for any and all questions, they are very upfront about costs, and they are extremely organized and professional. I couldn't be happier with my wedding day because these guys made it so easy. read more

My fiancé and I fell in love with Deity the second we saw the pictures online! We went and viewed the venue two times and it was just breathtaking!! Although we didn't end up booking here (by no fault of Deity, but just due to shifting circumstances) we both agreed we had to share our experience and thoughts with anyone searching for the perfect venue. Without an ounce of your own personal decoration included, the venue alone is stunning- exposed brick and candle lit rooms...it's seriously something else! Besides the venue being beautiful, we had the pleasure of meeting with the owner Caio. He was very professional, personable, down to earth, and very genuine and upfront about everything. We had no concerns and were so happy that they would have been taking care of nearly everything for us. Caio took the time to personally show us through the venue not just once, but twice. It really was a true pleasure speaking with him, and he was very easy to reach and very responsive. We knew we would have been in good hands at Deity. Although we couldn't book them this time around, we are absolutely looking forward to planning another event in our future at Deity. read more

I live in San Francisco now and i really miss this place. It has everything: atmosphere, beautiful decor, tight music, great cocktails AND a nice wine selection, and a truly diverse, hot crowd of people. It feel like the place to be yet it's not into itself. The lounge area is mellow and great for talking with old and new friends. The dance floor downstairs is the perfect size and the 2 djs I have heard there were awesome. I can't wait to visit the next time I'm in BK. read more

No fun at all... Paid $10 cover to go sit on round table... Limited Lounge area was closed... How nice is that ? On a saturday too... Went downstairs to dance floor... Which was decent... But 4-5 ppl standing around :( read more

Our wedding at Deity was amazing! From the beginning of planning until the end of the night, the owner and the staff executed everything flawlessly. Planning was incredibly easy. Caio, the owner, and Jay, the event planner, answered all of my questions promptly and were incredibly easy to work with. The venue itself is beautiful! The space is so exquisite and interesting that I didn't need to get floral arrangements. There is an incredible tree in the middle of the bar/lounge! The food was phenomenal and was served family style, which makes for a smooth and lovely dinner service! It makes dinner much more social. The house DJ, Ben, was great as well! He played incredible music and kept our guests on their feet until the very last song! I truly cannot recommend Deity enough! The night was perfect from beginning to end.!! read more

This place has a pretty cool vibe...Recently attended a wedding there so hard to say if it was the places selection or the couples that made the vibe but the general appearance was nice, Rustic cityish, there is a big tree in the middle of the main room which I loved along with the soft lighting in the place gave it a romantic feel. The space felt small and like other reviews I wasn't a fan of all the stairs or the bathrooms being awkwardly at the front of the bar. The staff was friendly. Great place for a small event. read more

My wedding was a dream come true thanks to the incredible team at Deity. My husband and I got married at Deity on 3/14/19 and everything from first contact, up until the day of, was seamless and stress free. My husband and I got engaged at the end of September and wanted a March wedding. With such a short engagement I was worried we would not find the right place, but Deity came through for us in such an incredible way. We booked a tour in November and as soon as I entered the ceremony space I gasped at how beautiful the space is. This is when I knew we had to pick this location. The email exchanges were so professional and the staff answered every single question I had. This being such a big moment in my life, you can just imagine all of the things that rush through your mind, but each email response reassured me everything was going to work out. I met with Caio for a planning meeting in February and he was able to accommodate my vegan diet and made some delicious suggestions for the rest of my guests. We hosted a wedding for only 72 guests including my husband and I and everything was perfect. Caio was kind enough to allow me to drop off wedding decor the day before so that I would not have to worry about it. I can't thank you enough Caio for making this experience so fun and stress-free. As the wedding day approached, I emailed back and forth with Melissa to iron out all of the day of details and she assured me everything would be beautiful. When I arrived to the venue, oh my goodness. I was blown away. The backdrop we used was set up perfectly and from the moment I stepped into the venue, I was treated like a queen. After the ceremony, Melissa and Anna (the second day of coordinator who was incredibly helpful as well) made sure my husband and I had a moment to ourselves with the hors d'oeuvres that were being served. Thank goodness because once we joined our guests, we were so busy chatting that we would not have had a chance to eat. Thank you, Melissa. The guests raved about how good the food was and how much fun they were having. Even though we were running behind schedule, Melissa and Anna did not rush us or even let us know we were running behind. They were so calm and kept checking in on us throughout the night. Again, my guests all said the venue was beautiful and the atmosphere was full of love and peace. I can't say enough good things about my experience at Deity. I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again. Thank you Caio and the Deity team, you made my wedding dreams come true. I wish you continued success and doing the same for future couples. read more

I can't say enough about the Deity staff! First off, Caio, the owner, was awesome and totally put me at ease. I'd decided to DIY some decorations and a candy/dessert bar for my wedding, and I was so nervous about just how much stuff it all came out to be. He let me drop it all off the day before, but I was sure he was going to say it was way too much and it would be too complicated or something. Not at all! He helped unload the car and had such a positive, "can-do" attitude about it all, and kept telling me not to worry, that they would handle all of it. I was so, so grateful. As for the day of, my husband and I were treated like royalty! I'd forgotten my drink at the dinner table, and realized it as I was about to head downstairs. Caio heard me mentioning it, and by the time I'd gotten to the end of the stairs, another drink was already waiting for me. I also have to rave about our day coordinator, Anna. She was absolutely amazing. She saw when I was getting kind of overwhelmed and told everyone she needed the bride, and brought me into the bathroom, handed me some wipes, my chapstick that she somehow knew to ask my sister for, and some water, and just told me to take a minute to breathe. She kind of stood guard over me when I finally had a minute to sit down, right before the bouquet toss, to make sure I had a moment to relax. She even fixed my hair when it kept falling down, and offered me her scrunchie at the end of the night! Seriously, the Deity staff is absolutely phenomenal, and I couldn't recommend them enough. read more

Where do I begin? Ambience and location was perfect. It was magical. I really thought I found a place that I could use time and time again. At the beginning of my event I would have given this place 5 stars! But by the end of my event sad to say they get 1 star!!! At the beginning of my event, I was referred to as the "boss" and things started to slowly decline. Everything felt rushed. This was because they had another event shortly after mine. The manager we were dealing with and I signed the contract with promised many things that were not done the day of the event. This is not a cheap place to rent so the money I paid should have equaled to the same stellar service, NOT!!! FRUIT AND CHEESE SPREAD --- basically there were the tiniest pieces of strawberries that looked like garnish on the cheese platter, so no assortment of fruit. We were supposed to have passed items None of the below items were served UPSTAIRS. KALE CEASAR SALAD (NUT FREE) LACINATA KALE, PARMAGIANO REGGIANO WITH VINAGRETTE ---well when i questioned this at the end of the end, the response received was the chef does not like kale ceasar salad and decided not to serve this. No one communicated this prior to me the client. They decided to remove a minimal amount from my bill. WAFFLE BITES (NUT FREE) MAPLE SYRUP POWDER -- served downstairs should have been served upstairs per the menu I signed off on. CRAB CAKES (NUT FREE) JUMBO LUMP CRAB, SPICY REMOULADE, -- served downstairs served downstairs should have been served upstairs per the menu I signed off on. PANKO SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN (NUT FREE) COUNTRY GRAVY --- did not get! CHIVE SALAD: MOZZERELLA SALAD (GLUTEN AND NUT FREE) WILD ARUGULA,---NO WILD ARUGULA just tomatoes, mozarella HEIRLOOM TOMATOES, MOZZERELLA, BASIL, WHITE BASALMIC did not get HOMEFRIES --- a lot of guests mentioned to me home fries were so hard they couldn't eat. BACON --- was not cooked all the way! FRENCH TOAST (NUT FREE) TEXAS TOAST, MAPLE SYRUP, BUTTER, POWDERED SUGAR, STRAWBERRIES --- they brought out the french toast without any syrup, powdered sugar and strawberries. just a plain plate of texas toast french toast. I had to ask for maple syrup for all tables. and french toast was cold by the time we received syrup for all the tables. With all the issues, it was clearl that they were not going to address or compensate for anything, they already received my money!!! When it was time to close out my bill, I was charged incorrectly someone else's balance. I didn't know this until the bartender came out and asked me to come inside and provide my credit card again as he made a mistake. Highly disappointed and not worth all the money. read more

Deity was a perfect fit for this Brooklyn based couple! The location is central and within walking distance of lots of good hotels. The all inclusive aspect was key to us, as I'm not a DIY person! It was such a relief to turn over pretty much every aspect of the wedding and have recommendations for all the outside vendors needed (flowers, cake, etc). Deity was professional leading up to the wedding, always responding back quickly to my endless emails. Any issue was immediately solved and all questions answered. The day of execution was flexible (it rained so we got to Deity earlier than planned) and organized. My husband and I could relax and let them handle everything and we had an absolute blast! We got tons of compliments on the atmosphere, the food, and the service. I can't wait to see the pictures, as Deity is so pretty! A wonderful wedding experience. read more

Diety Saturday...very cool bar/lounge, reasonably priced drinks; mixed, nicely dressed crowd who loved to dance; good DJ's who played mix of r&b/hip-hop/soul. Definitely recommend to all my Brooklyn (and Manhattan) friends who want to switch things up a bit read more

This place is beautiful and I am not just saying that because I frequent the place on the reggae sunday night... you just have to see for yourself.... read more

My partner and I held our commitment celebration at Deity on Friday, September 3rd 2010. We hosted a party of approximately 55 guests, dining between 8pm and 11pm at the Supperclub and dancing thereafter at the Underground. The owners, Caio and Kristine, as well as their staff were professional yet personable and very accommodating. Our event ran seamlessly and everyone left feeling like they experienced a part of Brooklyn nightlife that is typically associated with Manhattan's upscale night spots. Breathtaking architecture and dramatic interior aside, this place has positive vibrations for sure. Lovers of old school hip hop, reggae, and R&B hits of yesteryear would have appreciated the DJ's spinning that night. They were digging in the crates...think Pharcyde, Stevie Wonder, Biggie, Next, Lil' Vicious...and the list goes on! Above all else, this is definitely a spot to introduce non-Brooklynites who want to get a feel of what Brooklyn truly encompasses. The Brooklyn fare is dinner sized and reasonably priced as well as the drinks. They offer an unbeatable quote for food, service, drinks, venue use, and VIP access that allowed us to not only feed 55 people but also have our guests enjoy open bar the night through. This place isn't about draining your funds or charging up your credit card. No surprises here! It was a pleasure doing business with Caio and Kristine and I highly recommend their establishment without any reservations. read more

This place is real gem!! The food, drinks, and atmosphere are all great but the best part of all is the couple that owns it. Organizing a company christmas party is no mean feat and they really made it happen, accomodating everyone and giving us a great deal to boot. The party went off great and I owe them for all their help! read more

My husband and I recently had our wedding reception at Deity and not only did we get a great deal, but the owner and staff were excellent! Throughout the night our guests remarked how courteous, attentive, and fast the staff was and how hard they worked to accommodate our needs. The space is beautiful and everyone had a great time. I would enthusiastically recommend this space to anyone. read more

My partner and I stumbled upon this hidden gem about a year ago and booked it immediately for our wedding. From start to finish the owners were a sincere pleasure to work with and were able to accommodate our travel themed wedding down to the menu and drinks. Fast forward to our wedding...the owners ensured that everything was set up just right and the space was beautiful. We were beyond impressed with the food - it was excellent. Both of us are foodies and were concerned about the quality and quantity only to be blown away the day of. All of our guests have since commented about the food and space. The DJs we booked through the venue were amazing...the dance party went all night and everyone (EVERYONE) was dancing all night. I just wish I could relive it because it seriously was the best party I have been to. It has been two weeks and guests are still commenting on how it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Some are already asking when we will renew our vows and to make sure it is at Deity. If you are looking for the PERFECT venue with food that is sure to WOW your guests Deity is the place. The space is ideal for corporate functions, engagement parties, bridal showers and weddings. I can't wait until we renew our vows at this hot spot. read more

You never really expect a place to be this exceptional. Good, maybe great, but so perfect? The entire preparation and process seemed so clear and straightforward, we were 'almost' concerned that they were missing something! Nothing could be further from the truth. The food was incredible. We still hear about it. The worst thing about it was trying to make selections from the incredible list. That said, I imagine you could not choose something wrong. The staff was flawless. They were the perfect balance of attention and discreetness. Each person did their role exceptionally. I've never been at a wedding where I saw so many guests take the unsolicited time to tell the bride and groom how thoughtful and professional that service and staff were during the event - for months afterward too! In fact, the team there stepped up and adapted to a few minor changes we (bride and groom) suggested during the event. No one even noticed the switch. Deity flowed their process to meet our style, our family's needs and our hopes for the event, not the other way around. Being an all-in place can seem concerning, but controlling your event is not what they are about. It was all about helping us craft it the way we wanted it. I can be occasionally accused of being too cynical, so it's something for me to say that this was the best day of my life to date, and - marrying the love of my life aside! - it's in part because of Deity. read more

My daughter had her wedding reception here and it was perfect. the service was kind and attentive and the food is very good. Our out of town guests were very impressed. Best part: very little work for me. Caio and his team took care of everything. I hope to never plan another wedding, but if I did, I'd return to Deity. read more

Caio, Jay, DJ Trauma, and the whole staff were AMAZING! Very attentive, very easy to work with and our guests loved them and so did we! The venue is beautiful and perfect on every floor and our wedding went off without a hitch! read more

This review is overdue, but our March 2016 wedding was everything we could have hoped for and more, thanks to Caio and Jay. Leading up to the day of, Caio was a pleasure to deal with and set our minds at ease at every possible turn. When it came to our wedding day, we were immediately in great, capable hands, and Jay made sure we did not worry at all at any point during the ceremony or reception. As two busy professionals, my wife and I were looking for a venue at which we would not need to micromanage every detail, and we definitely found that in Deity. Our ceremony and reception were wonderfully personalized for us, but simultaneously met and exceeded our expectations of what a wedding should be. We received innumerable compliments regarding the food, service, space, music, and just about everything else that was taken care of by Deity. We have been to tons of weddings and know how forgettable food and service can be at anonymous venues. We were looking for a much more individual and personalized experience for our own wedding, and we absolutely found that with Caio, Jay, and the rest of the wonderful staff at Deity! We felt so lucky to find such a unique venue that managed to capture every single thing we wanted from our wedding. We only hope that everyone else gets to experience a wedding where they are free to focus on the best day of their life, unencumbered by logistical concerns or stresses. read more

I got married at Deity this past June and everything went perfectly. Considering our wedding was LGBT, my now wife and I were firstly concerned with finding a venue that supported our marriage and treated us with respect throughout the entire process. That was our number one priority when selecting all vendors. Deity, the owner Caio, and all his staff succeeded in doing just that, from start to finish! Where to begin... I am pretty type A and a big "planner" so the weekend after I got engaged I started contacting wedding venues in NYC and Brooklyn (we lived in Flatbush Brooklyn at the time). After hearing back from 10 or so places about initial pricing, I noticed that Deity was BY FAR the most affordable. It's really a one-stop shop--the per person cost includes food, bar to a certain amount, service, DJ, dining ware, simple table decor including hurricane vases and votives, gratuity, and a day-of wedding planner. All you need to do is bring your officiant, buy cake/dessert, and extra decor or flowers if you want (but you don't really need it). It was our first pick for these many reasons so we scheduled a tour. Honestly, it was the first and only place we saw and we booked right away because #1 you can't beat this price and #2 the venue is beautiful and unique. Our wedding themes was Gatsby glam/speakeasy and the aesthetic went perfectly. We absolutely didn't want a large ballroom wedding, but something with more character. Deity actually used to be a club before it was a an event venue, and you can in a good way. The wedding happens on three floors--the space is narrow and deep. We chose to have our ceremony upstairs, then cocktail hour on the ground bar level. This was our favorite floor. Then the ceremony space is turned over into the dining room. Lastly, all of the guests are ushered into the basement for cake and dance party. DJ Trauma was an awesome DJ and a charming emcee. Our guests can't stop raving about how it didn't feel like "a wedding" but more "an awesome party." Which is exactly what we wanted! As far as communication goes, Caio exceeded my expectations. We sent over 200 emails during the 15 months leading up to the wedding and he always responded promptly and patiently--no matter how crazy all my questions and requests were. And that's crucial when you're in the throes of wedding planning. The food was delicious all around, I highly recommend the shorts ribs and mac and cheese for dinner. The dance floor was jumping the whole time, for our guests young and old. We didn't want it to end! During the wedding, Caio and his captain kept us updated about the flow of the evening and were non-stop checking in on us. Our glasses were always full and they made sure that we got a chance to eat before we had to mingle and entertain our guests. We chose to hire a florist and bring some of our own decor which Caio happily set up for us at no additional charge. They really don't try to nickel and dime you. They are upfront about the costs and do a wonderful job at managing expectations. They took care of everything on the day-of. We have all been to weddings where the bridal party is running around like chickens with their heads cut off--fixing this and complaining about that. Seriously, you will have no worries at Deity. If you want a unique experience for your guests, that feels intimate and fresh, and want many aspects of your wedding to be taken care of by one vendor, Deity is the place for you. Thanks so much Caio!!! read more

My husband and I got married at Deity and let me tell you... our wedding was nothing short of EXTRAORDINARY!! I honestly could not have pictured it to go any better than it did. I stumbled upon this venue through a random blog and I am so grateful that I did. As soon as we went to see the venue in person, we fell in LOVE. It was exactly the place we had in mind, literally, as if this place was made for our wedding. The fact that it was an all-inclusive package made it so easy to plan. Caio was beyond accommodating, extremely easy to work with, and his response rate was fantastic. We had our planning meeting 3 months before our wedding and we went over all the details, small and big. The day of our wedding, Anna was basically our right hand, all-around renaissance woman. She was AWESOME and completely took care of my husband and I throughout the entire night until we walked out the door. The food and drinks were delicious and plentiful! DJ Zeke really listened to our musical preferences and totally delivered! Our family and friends kept telling us how beautiful and different this venue was (compared to other wedding venues) and most importantly, how amazing the staff was to our party. The entire staff went above and beyond - the customer service at Deity was exactly what you would want at your wedding. I HIGHLY recommend getting married here. Planning a wedding involves so many moving parts and eventually becomes so stressful, but we never felt that way during our planning process (seriously). Caio provided us with a planning website with recommended vendors, which is where we found our photo/video guys and photo booth (Le Image!). If you're planning your wedding and looking for something a little different than the typical ballroom style venues, then you need to visit Deity. The ambiance inside is so beautiful and romantic, but also very intimate. It's the perfect setting for what will be one of the most special days of your lives!! read more

I've gone here a couple of times, and if you hit it on the right night - it's like the bar from Cheers meshed with the swankier Manhattan night clubs, which is perfect for a Brooklyn club. The music rocked - the right mix of stuff I had no idea about but got my hips moving combined with stuff I knew the words to. It's worth going to - no line, no door charge, no attitude and a really interesting mix of people. read more

Deity is one of my favorite places to go in Brooklyn! The owners are beyond amazing and the loungey atmosphere upstairs is incredible. I always feel like I'm in a sexy Manhattan lounge without the attitude... there is definitely no other place in Brooklyn like this. The supperclub has great food (any place with good grilled cheese on the menu gets an A+ in my book), beautiful stained glass windows and a large table which is great for groups, all centered around a tree!! Love it! Also, the bartenders definitely mix up some of the best cocktails I've tasted! This place is definitely a great escape! read more

Amazing venue for weddings. The staff caters to every need and nothing is a challenge for the crew over in Brooklyn. Food was incredible (as per the guests) and the music was great. The venue handles everything and removes stress from the equation when planning a wedding. Highly recommend. read more

I waited a good month before posting this review to make sure my thoughts were clear and not clouded by anger and disappointment. My fiancé and I booked Deity with the owner Caio after my mother and best friend went to see the venue. We both live out of town but based on reviews, pictures and how helpful the initial phone meeting and tour with my mom turned out we signed the contract. Well, things were good for awhile then things started happening. I questioned the allocation of gratuity on the initial deposit and was told "What difference does it make to you." (All quotes are taken from actual emails between me and the owner) Next I hired a wedding planner after my mom could no longer assist after two car accidents. Well this was a game changer. Neither Caio nor his director of events were pleased. Lets be clear their contract says outside vendors and wedding planners need to be cleared and approved prior to the wedding day so their refusal to even email my planner was simply rude and a heads up of the customer service to come later. We talked, thought we moved beyond this then the next issue. The tasting. Ladies and Gents take note their tasting is $300, yes $300 and this won't be on your contract and it simply said "fee" on their website. Did we get the tasting? No...even though this was requested 2 days after we signed in September, the only date offered during our trip in November was 2 hours after our flight was leaving. At this point the emails and word choice became pretty rude and condescending. Part of me feels that if I told the owner that I was an attorney licensed to practice law in both NY and Florida that he would have treated me better...which is sad. I knew Caio and Christine didn't intend to make our day stress free when I requested that he call me or give me his number so that we could talk on the phone. That request was ignored. At that point after being told I didn't need cake or flowers as a way to rid me of my wedding planner, consistently rude emails and lack of consideration we were forced to see this as they don't want to do business here. Of course we didn't get any part of our deposit back nor an apology for making our lives miserable in the process. Take note if you are an out of town bride make them show you everything prior to signing the contract, do the tasting, see the linens. Failure to do so will result in a major headache and a loss of your hard earned money. Deity...you need to do better. I'm just happy I have better now. read more

Went here last night to celebrate a friends birthday. After waiting outside with the bday girl for 30 mins (only because other friends were inside and the line was filled with hoodlums) I went directly to the bathroom on the 1st floor. After using the bathroom I immediately realized that I forgot my purse on the sink, so I waited for the girl who went in after me to come out. After she came out, my purse is missing. After fishing around for it, I realized my purse thrown in the trash and she stole my iphone and money. I tried to get security to help me, but to no avail. While waiting for the police outside the girl pretend she knew nothing. There were also other altercations happening outside as the police tried to calm everything down. I would say far away from this place, its just not worth the drama! read more

My wife and I had our wedding here over Memorial Day weekend and we can say that we had an unequivocally great experience. Caio and Christine were amazing hosts, the food was great, and the staff was super attentive. The place has a really fun vibe and the upstairs space was just the right size and atmosphere for a 90 person wedding. The downstairs club area is great for dancing and Deity provided a great DJ. read more

Exceptional service. I had my wedding 2 days ago (Dec 11, 2016). The staff are extremely organized. We have a 4-week newborn and this venue made planning very easy. They have an intuitive website that provides the answers to all your questions, recommendation for all your needs (photographer, officiant, bakery etc) and a blog of several chic weddings for inspiration. The decor is gorgeous so you don't have to budget for flowers if you don't want to. Deity has a unique space for ceremony, cocktail hour, and dance floor that makes a beautiful background for your wedding photos. Food is done by a chef who runs his own business in Murray Hill. We rented the 4th Fl suite for our newborn to hang out in during the evening and for a quick retreat after the party was over. Also with its vintage feel, it too was a great backdrop for our wedding photos. Cake cutting, and an excellent DJ and day-of-event coordinator, Yulia are included in the cost of the venue. Caio, the owner meets with you 3 months in advance to sort of all of details of your event. I thought planning a wedding would be dreadful. Deity made every step easy and enjoyable, even with a newborn in tow. read more

Deity is one of those amazing, eclectic, locally owned and run businesses that define this great Brooklyn neighborhood. The owners are awesome and really care about their place! The drink menu is out of control (the bartender-Blake- is the best in Brooklyn!) And don't miss salsa night! read more
