I really hope they stick around, I'm really sad about all of the local bars and restaurants constantly closing in this neighborhood due to corporations buying out buildings. We need a place for the youth to congregate! What I really love about this space is you can dance your heart away inside or go outside for fresh air and chill drinks. Being able to go back and forth is so underrated. Highly recommend if you have a large group. It was a great way to end my birthday celebration

I ended up spending most of my time in their outdoor area in the back, which was more chill. There's also lots of space along with a bar and food there, which was nice. I will say that it took me awhile to get a bartender's attention though and my food was ready but they didn't even notice until I pointed it out. Good spot, but service is lacking.

I didn't get their name but it was a white male presenting person with long tawny brown blond hair and a septum piercing. 6/15 around 11:30 pm at the very end of the event I was attending a wonderful event for Tales of a Cocktail x Espolon and at the end of the night I was trying to get my friend to register with Campari academy // the QR codes were all over the bar... I asked "Hi do you guys still have any of the QR codes that were on the bar ? For Campari academy" and this person laughed in my face sneered at me like they were mocking me and said "i don't even know wtf that is" I clarified "oh the Pink QR codes that were all over the bar are they gone ?" Again they repeated " i don't even know what you're even talking about .. so no" The interaction was so rude and really put a bad taste in my mouth I went further and asked "oh yall probably threw them out already" , i asked him "you work for elsewhere right? And not espolon" - he laughed in my face again and said no ... I was trying to be nice and remain positive so I told him "oh you should look into it then! You're a bartender right ? They do lots of free parties and events like this one" His response was so nasty he smiles in my faces and said "yeah I don't wanna do that I don't really care" so I kept my composure because at the end of the day this was an event for all industry professionals, bar owners, bartenders LIQOUR reps, hospitality leaders etc- and this was the demeanor this person had.... I replied "oh you don't care huh? Well the information is there if you want it have a goodnight" and as I was walking away he said "I really don't" This was such an unfortunate and unexpected interaction just a few days short of the NBA playoffs party I attended with NYx Cosmetics at Elsewhere. - I work in hospitality because I genuinely want to be there and I want to give people exciting memorable experiences- not mock them to their face and try to make them feel small...

Nublu -- A Cool Little Music Spot in NYC!…read more What a fun evening at Nublu! I went to see my friend's daughter perform with her band, and they were fantastic! It's always special getting to support the next generation of musicians, especially when they are this talented. Nublu is a small, intimate venue with a cool vibe. I loved the pictures displayed throughout the space, and there is additional seating upstairs. Since it's a smaller place, I was especially happy to find a few stools where I could give my feet a break! The neighborhood has a great vibe, too, making it a fun spot for a night out. Great music, a unique venue, and a wonderful evening with friends. If you're looking for a cool place to catch live music in NYC, Nublu is worth checking out!

The video screens on the walls and ceiling playing old music and dance clips is a nice touch. I came here for a jazz night featuring CAFFEINE. A band everyone should see! The sound was perfect. The volume was nice without blowing out your ears. You felt more immersed in the groove than it being so loud you feel it in your body. The drinks were delicious and well priced. If you're looking for a gem, this is your place!

While I had my gripes about Brooklyn Mirage, like that they often oversold the venue and it would…read moreget too crowded or that it attracted a bro-y crowd that tended to push, I still ended up there often, and now I'm missing aspects of it that its replacement is missing. Mirage's closure left a void in the Brookyln nightlife space for a venue of this scale, and at the start of the summer season, images of Pacha still under construction proliferated social media and had us all suspecting we'd go yet another summer without this venue. But they pulled it together and the sentiment I've heard from most folks attending has been mixed, with some bright spots. The sound system is excellent, which can definitely make or break the experience. The stage set up is replete with high quality effects like well timed smoke machines and neon lights, so it does feel like high production worth paying for. I also like that there's a railing/path by the stage meant to funnel people moving through the crowd, so you don't have to wander and push as you're leaving to go to the bar, bathrooms, or to leave. The bathrooms were pretty clean and I didn't have to wait in line. The prices for drinks were pretty outrageous-- like $40 for a whiskey and $20 something for a Stella. The drink packages they sell may be worth it if you're going to imbibe. I also miss the upstairs area that existed at Mirage for a reprieve from dancing which this space doesn't have. In past summers we were at Mirage several times a month. Pacha to me feels like a once in a while venue.

Finally made my way to check out the new space & it's very cool. Great new set up walking in it's a nice open space so u at least don't feel crowded as u wait in line. After getting past this u walk in to what seems to be the only seating area, u can grab drinks, merch & food here. Love the new color scheme in the bathrooms . no multi level any more just one level above for VIP which is not terrible. The sound system is crazy, good lights & overall set up a bit on the corporate side but I mean let's face it is a business. Few bars set up, service was quick enough, price wise ahhh on the high side of course better to pregame. First visit back & overall it was a fun one, am sure I will be back plenty of times as long as the DJ's are worth coming to check out.

There's a two drink minimum (yay canned water for $8 does count) and you make reservations beforehand. The aesthetic itself is great - very romantic mood lighting and live music.   Only thing is - bring some earplugs to protect your ears. Or don't. I expected better of myself.

I went to the Studio Ghibli Jazz w/ Alyssa Chetrick Quartet in February and the music was great but…read moreI have some words about the venue. I paid for two seats and it was soooooooooo close together with other tables. See attached pictures. I was basically shoulder to shoulder with the table next to me. The table in front of us was also super close too. We were seated next to the bar and it was so loud and it disrupted the music. The music sometimes had soft vocals and you would hear the bartender shaking drinks and scooping ice so loudly lol. It was mandatory two drinks per person so with the seat reservation, it was $140 for two people. Gratuity is also automatically included at 20% which is fine. For the seated ticketed event, I was expecting a nicer experience but it didn't deliver. I feel like I was overcharged for the experience. Also a bunch of people were standing by the bar talking and a whole bunch of people were standing behind us. I think for the price, it could have been better.

My concert doors opened maybe 20 min late and I was fortunate enough to see band playing on the rooftop too. I was maybe 5 min late to doors opening and all of the good spots were already taken! I guess that's New York for you. I found a little nook that no one thought of & placed myself there for the rest of the night. Highly recommend as a concert venue!

Upon arrival, I presented a government-issued Real ID -- only to have it not just dismissed, but bent in half by the bouncer, who seemed more interested in posturing than professionalism. What could have been a routine ID check instead became an exercise in unnecessary hostility. There is a clear difference between enforcing policy and enacting power trips. Sadly, the latter seems to be the prevailing culture at the door. A night out should be memorable for the right reasons. If you value respectful treatment, competent staff, and a welcoming atmosphere, I would advise looking elsewhere. There are many venues in the city that understand hospitality isn't just about the drinks -- it's about how you treat people.
