House of Yes isn't just a venue--it's a state of mind, a glitter-drenched fever dream of queer joy,…read moreradical self-expression, and performance art that swings from the ceiling (literally). If you walk in expecting a traditional night out, prepare to be lovingly and fabulously corrected. From the moment I entered with a friend, it was clear this place plays by its own, very sparkly rules. The first room was more of a whimsical prelude than a line-up zone: drinks flowing, people mingling like old friends at a costume party, and a gloriously casual pile of pillows where you could recline like a disco-era Roman god. And yes--there was a tarot reader, naturally, because no true evening of hedonistic joy is complete without a stranger telling you your moon energy needs grounding. Once the main room opened, things escalated--in the best way possible. Performers appeared everywhere: on stage, above our heads, behind the crowd--acrobats, dancers, aerialists, all oozing talent, glitter, and just enough danger to keep you watching with your mouth open and your drink clutched tightly. It wasn't just a dance floor--it was a full-blown immersive experience. The music kept the energy up all night: infectious, thumping, and curated to make even the shyest feet consider their moment of main-character glory. The crowd? Pure magic. Full of respectful, expressive, and joyful people, the kind of fellow partygoers you dream about meeting in New York. Everyone was there to dance, to celebrate, to vibe--not to posture or preen. What makes House of Yes so special is that it's not just a nightclub--it's a celebration of freedom in all its forms. Of identity, of movement, of art, of joy. It's campy, chaotic, oddly intimate, and--somehow--profound. In short: if you're craving a space that feels like Studio 54 met a circus in a utopian queer commune, House of Yes is your new church. Bring an open mind, comfortable shoes, and a healthy appreciation for sequins.

I wanted to begin by thanking my girlfriend and the staff for making this an exciting and memorable…read moreevent. My gf surprised me with front row seats to the show. We were literally in front of the stage. If you buy a seat and not a table you must go to bar and order whatever drinks you like. The drinks are fairly priced (had goose island on draft all night). Now let's assess the show. It starts with this quirky MC that comes out and introduces his quirky self and the performing aerialist and burlesque dancers. All of the burlesque dancers were very talented and they all had different personalities. You had the happy one, the sassy one, the fun one, and the evil one lol. The aerialists were very talented and disciplined as well. The Brazilian girl kicked ass! Now to make the night even more interesting I was volunteered on the stage by my gf for a little competition to win a free drink. I will keep the details of what I had to do to myself but I ended winning a free drink on stage. Overall I had a great night and the staff was very friendly and interactive. I would definitely come here in a big group or with a significant other. There are also plenty of things to do in the area such as Brooklyn bridge park. FYI look out for Groupon and LivingSocial deals.

Much to my dismay, the nearby Galapagos art space closed down a few months ago -- forcing it's…read moreinhabitants to scatter across the city. I started receiving emails that some of the performers transitioned from Galapagos to Below the Bridges and welcomed the opportunity to check it out. The host, bastard Keith was raunchy as always. He worked the audience and while entertaining, his entire performance was less scandalous than something you'd see at the slipper room. Sometimes it's more fun when things are eluded to than blatant, outright perversion.. Jenny Rocha and her troupe exude class, talent and skill. All of their lineups were engaging and appealing, especially the "hospital/surgery" performance. I was snickering the entire time! The rest of the performances were professional, all with some form of appeal and talent. The venue space is fantastically lit but, a little uncomfortable. The Aeriel/ribbon performers looked precariously close to the tables. We were awkwardly seated under the stairs at the end of the back row. As the stage manager was moving props next to me, I felt cramped between the bottom of the stairs and the wall. Additionally, I had to constantly reposition and myself so I could see the acts that weren't performed directly on stage. In short, I couldn't easily see the show - and for once in my life it wasn't because of any vertical disadvantage. While a table certainly would have been more cozy, and had a much better view, I didn't feel the $50 minimum per person (in addition to the ticket) was worthwhile. I also didn't want to be forced to eat there considering the plethora of dinner options across the east river... Doors open at 8:30, but it's essentially dead until 9:10.

My first time here at this venue and they have more than 1 stage for more than 1 event going on…read more They got the main stage and black box with a waiting area with table games to kill time. I came here yesterday with my friends to go see MC Jin and it was a sold out venue. The main stage was pretty lit especially the lit up sign on stage. When MC Jin came on stage there was a huge standing ovation. I had a good time with his material and I admired his enthusiasm that did not let me down nor did I ever got bored. He kept the audience going on and alive. So I wish Second City had more food options because it just got 4 items for food. You got pickles, hummus, and fries for appetizers and only one entree on the menu, which is a burger with fries. That's not a lot of food options. My friends and I got fries and hummus to share. The portions were large for sharing. The hummus included pita bread, cucumbers, red bell peppers, and carrots. Pretty filling. Now with the drinks, Second City had a huge list. I ended up getting Learn Chinese cocktail, which is exclusively for the MC Jin venue. I was disappointed at the contents and how much was in my glass. They did not fill it up to the top. It was like 2/3s of the cocktail in the glass when they served it to me. I was so shocked at how little it was. It also did not get me hooked. It felt like nothing although it did taste fruity. I should have gotten a draft beer or something else instead.

It's a "combined live-work space and presentation arena for international artists across multiple disciplines". I came for a BYOB music event with Hundred Hounds. It was my birthday week and I was determined to have champagne on ice. Two days worth of ice cube making and it was a success! Ice cold bubbly on a balmy summer's day with the Hounds, 2 DJs and a light show. On my Top 10 list of nights-out for sure. The artwork inside the residence made me wish I had Patron-level kind of money to drop. There were quite a few pieces by the founder Sol Kjøk that I was really smitten with. I'm name dropping one Danish director and a Norwegian artist... add my fascination with Scandinavian furniture, I have a bit of a thing going on. Given the location, not too far from the G and not too close to residential buildings, you can experience the roof deck entertainment space to its fullest. There were a few plastic chairs about, but the best view was from the rooftop ledge. Full Manhattan views to the West, the lovingly lit "Shit Tits" sewage treatment plant of Greenpoint to the East. The coolest, raw, rooftop venue reminiscent of my beloved old gritty NYC. I am looking forward to hitting it again.

Highly recommend experiencing Company XIV at least once - though chances are you'll want to return again.

They have 2 intermissions. The show is a little under 2 hours. It starts a few minutes after 8 pm. The performers are insanely talented. I'm pretty sure I sat there with my mouth gaping open for half of the time. I am definitely coming back and going to see their other show.

The Flowers from Nyssa such a lovely, sweet touch!…read more Okay rented this lovely, cozy space for Sexual Assault Awareness Month Event. The event went smoothly! I would recommend to any charity looking for decent budget space. It was a smaller cozy place, good for less than 60 people standing including 20 people or so sitting. The venue was safe and clean space for us to use. It was easy to setup and put things back when it was time. On to the owner of the space -- I felt that Nyssa, went above and beyond to make sure the event was a success! She was helpful with all details, prompt and great to work with. She is a very kind and down to earth person who cared about our efforts in this event. In the future I hope to host another SAAM event. Of course, if need to a venue like this again, being it's not booked up. Nyssa's The Living Art Gallery will be my go and the main place I'd ever recommend to anyone in need of a venue. Thank you Nyssa!!!
