    Extremely fun dance floor downstairs! There are two lines - one to get in and one to get on the dance floor - but the wait is worth it. Plus, there's no cover!

    Cool place, fair price for the beer! Let's just hope it's not vanished for a fashion store as it happened with CBGB a few yards away

    Really cool venue! The downstairs area has a bar area elevated from the main space, so you can watch the show from two levels. The benches on the side are convenient!

    Wanna dance with your crew? Come here on a Friday or Saturday. But be prepared for lines to get into more lines if you get here a little after 11:45

    Perfect party room in the back available by reservation; this is where we had one of my close friend's 21st birthday and it was a huge hit!

    Two floors. Three bars. See a killer band in an intimate setting or dance the night away to fantastic DJs.

    I came here for a band and stayed afterwards for the great music and atmosphere. Really good vibe during the weeknights. The weekends get crazy!

    Come here on Wednesdays for Dorian Gray! Amazing goth night hosted by Anna Evans and Kayvon Zand.

    Noteworthy DJs, non-stop dance parties and a long line on Saturday nights make Bowery Electric a go-to for debauchery on Bowery.

    Head down to the basement if you feel like dancing the night away to awesome Motown music! You'll definitely need some energy for this dance floor.

    Really cool venue with decently priced drinks. Music selection was the perfect mix of 90's and top 40.

    $7 House cocktails. $6 Heineken. Typical drink prices for NYC. Small lounge upstairs. Downstairs nice area for DJ dance parties.

    One of my all time favorite places - worth the wait to get into the basement for some killer throwbacks

    Watch out for the random steps in the back if you're at a reserved table. Especially if you're in heels and intoxicated.

    This space, previously home to Remote Lounge, is known for its dance party, “The Electric Feel,” every weekend.

    Friday/Saturday night parties are great... Danced for like 4 hrs! Try the margaritas @ downstairs bar.

    Don't use the coat check! I checked my coat with my cell phone in the pocket & the attendant gave it to someone else without a claim ticket! And the Bowery did nothing to help! Very irresponsible!

    Beer on tap didn't seem to be flowing that well, but music was good and bar tenders were pleasant!

    Venue is actually 2 separate clubs in one building. The Bowery Electric is downstairs, and The Browery Electric is upstairs. If you're from NYU, don't ever go downstairs. EVER.

    Go downstairs. There's typically a list on Fri & Sat for groups. Ask around for the names of the reservations.

    Weirdest club music I've heard in awhile. I don't go to clubs much anymore but even that was weird to me..mostly 80s -'00s but also like gladys knight thrown in.
