Marquee New York

I have a love/hate relationship with the sponsor of this establishment, Tao Group. They run clubs that generally rely on the outdated business model of driving maximum revenue from attending men. They employ promoters to corral young women to try to entice men to accept overpriced tables and drinks. Sometimes the women are hot, but it's a highly transactional, degrading business model. People frequently have friction with employees, such as the bouncers, who are tasked with enforcing this proposition.

This is one of the lower class clubs in Tao's stable. The upshot is they sometimes have good music acts. Still, the problem is that when a music act is good, they'll uncomfortably pack the club so assume any movement, such as dancing, will be hindered. There are good clubs in Manhattan, but this is not one of them. As a local, I feel it's unfortunate that places like this make Manhattan seem scummy and tip the hat towards Brooklyn.

This is a really fun club to see some big name EDM acts. The bass is SO loud, you'll still be feeling it in your head 2 days later (bring earplugs if you care about saving your hearing). The light set-up and DJ booth are decent, and most of the tables are at the back and so they don't interfere with the dance floor. Had a great time dancing here, and really felt like the DJs were able to put on a great show in the space.

That being said, this is an expensive/highly transactional club - similar to most/all clubs from the Tao Group, so it has everything that comes with that. Money talks in this club - expect to pay $19 for a single basic cocktail, have the 'high-rollers' from the table service booths cut ahead of you the bathroom lines, semi-aggressive bathroom attendants with their hands out for tips, the whole 9 yards.

They also really pack the dance floor, and at the peak of the evening, it can be hard to even move. But it's fun - if you're in the right mindset.

Loud luxury are the best DJs to ever play this club. Club is good. Bass so loud your ancestors will feel it.

I think it is one of the under rated clubs of New York. The place is really nice and they bring some great artists occasionally. Went over there last month for Alan walker and the night turned out to be super amazing. The crowd is also great comparing to most of the other clubs.
Their lighting and set up also seemed to be really good. You can get a wide range of personal care product in the washroom, which seemed a nice gesture to me.
The only thing that people can complain is their price for drinks. Which seemed slightly high, but I think it’s supposed to be like that in these clubs.

There is too tight dance floor, bathroom you gonna wait loooong time to get in, Security guys pushing like people for them like animals. Never come back again! But Gareth Emery great DJ, that’s why i put 2 not 1

Giving this place 4 stars for the amazing DJ talent they get in here, but it’s nobody’s fave, this much I can promise. Way too packed with the bridge and tunnel crowd but if you snag a table you’re Gucci. While not my go to (Brooklyn Mirage 10x better on a bad day), I still keep coming back for the shows

WORST CLUB EVER. RUDE PEOPLE & FATPHOBIC. I was Turned away for being “different than everyone else” (my size)! Don’t come here.

Worst club ever. Paid 50 bucks for entrance fee, worst music, ppl are so rude, guards are so aggressive and treat you like animals. I hope this club will be closed soon. Worst club in NY.

Must buy tickets in advance. As they will NOT let you in at all. Or you could become friends with the manager Jimmy. Or there’s no way to get in. Anyways lots of people pushing each other etc and not being let in.

Ridiculous, horrible management. We went to get GA tickets and we’re told by one guy that it was $100 for each, the next guy said $100 each plus minimum spend of $400, and then another guy told us minimum spend of $500. I don’t get why they couldn’t have told us what it would really be in the first place. Worst club I have ever been to, will not be returning.

Very nice venue, but it’s over capacitated, you won’t be able to move at all! Tickets are about 50$ and they oversell by huge margins!

Vicious criminals.

They Charged my card ($950 service Fee).

We ordered 6 drinks that costed $300

Total charge was $1250

I only realized a day later when I checked my account.

Disgusting!

I honestly enjoyed everything about this. From getting into the booth, to recording and everything else. Even those things far and few in between. The booth I was recording in had a beautiful view of the city skyscrapers in the distance and I can’t wait to see what they’ll look like when I start doing recording sessions at night.

Went to see Elephante a while back. The concert was great and tickets were a super fair price. The major down side was the drinks were super expensive, which is why I think tickets were so cheap because they know you will spend a small fortune on your drinks.

Ah bootie. Something to experience at least once during the time you live in NY. Get to bootie before 10PM, then go across the street to butter for jello shots or your drink of choice, before getting back across the street an hour later.

Super fun place on Saturdays, no BS, $15! Really good and mixed crowd, lots of space with two floors but the stage always gets super crowded with crowd surfers and barely 18 girls. Still, a good place for a chill night and cheap drinks!
