Don’t bother! The staff in this place is rude. The place is empty inside but they still keep people queuing outside under the rain for no reason. Cover entry is $60 and the place is empty. Absurd.

Three floors guaranteed to satisfy whatever music suits your taste. Multiple dance floors and an outdoor patio for some much needed cooling off, either from dancing or a burlesque show!

Beware of top shelf alcohol not actually being top shelf & an "automatic" 18% gratuity when you pay with a credit card at the bar. With such a great roof space, I wish I had been more impressed.

The vibe inside is a cozy chic, with gothic fixtures and several chandeliers hanging above. The giant floor to ceiling windows along two of the walls allow for great people watching. Read more

A place where you can go if you've had a rough week and want to have some drinks and dance. Yes, it's crowded but if you're in for a club-like feel in the lower part of the city, this is your place

Unisex bathrooms on the rooftop, save yourself from an awkward moment by having the attendant point out an open stall for you.

John is a terrific bartender. You can't go wrong with him serving you.
Fabian MartinAugust 20, 2022
Love this spot but don’t show up before 1 AM and don’t let them make you pay some ridiculous 100$ cover it’s not worth that
Amy ParkFebruary 25, 2019
Never have I ever encountered such rude, horrible, and RACIST staff at any place of business. DO NOT COME HERE. save your money and go literally ANYWHERE else.

Look at the virtual tour before you go or plan an event! Read more

Be careful of the bar tenders here. Don't leave an open tab, they'll add extra charges to ur bill.
Stephen CastroFebruary 23, 2014
They have shady and unprofessional bartenders that don't give itemized bills so they can tack on automatic 18% gratuity and bogus charges so you get to the ridiculous $40 credit card minimum.

Too crowded on the third floor! Second floor was fun
Kaitlyn PezikMay 10, 2015
They bleed your wallet dry. there's always a cover and if you are there for a happy hour, they con you into buying a bottle. not worth the money.
JoshJuly 13, 2013
Hold on to your bag/wallet/iPhone. They love to steal them here.
Gerson MendonceFebruary 14, 2014
Please do this place's neighbors a favor and don't show up. Thx !
Jackie S.September 8, 2013
They don't support those with small bladders because the bathroom attendant is on a power trip...
Keith HarveyAugust 3, 2016
Rooftop is the reason I love going to this spot. Also, great place to be in the summer time too to enjoy the beautiful scenes of the LES.

If you can get on the list, stop by for biweekly brunch party Everyday People, a who’s who of the music, fashion and art worlds. It's $30 for brunch and 3 hours of unlimited mimosas. Read more

40 dollar minimum for credit cards... Absurd

Head straight to the third floor with its retractable roof for some delicious tapas on a warm summer night – get the PB&J, Truffle Pops and Lobster Crack.
Oliver Swan-JacksonJune 8, 2013
Filled with douchebags... Esp on Friday nights

If the bathroom lines on the 2nd/3rd floor are too line and you don't mind the trek, the basement bathrooms usually have no line!
Damian BayonaApril 16, 2016
Dining on the first floor. Clubbing on the second. Rooftop bar on the third. Typical NYC club lines to get in.
MerleeOctober 26, 2014
If you like a place full of douche bags and the bitchiest girls ever, this is the place for you. Oh also the bathroom is full of fucking SWASTIKAS. Fuck this place.
Ashley VelazquezAugust 31, 2013
Diverse crowd. Great atmosphere. Ladies only in the water on the top floor!! (Attract a few guys and kick off those heels, lol. I'm telling you its worth it) :)
The Luvely RaeMarch 29, 2012
Tapas good for sharing. Try the lamb moussaka (that's burning rosemary not weed, silly) or lobster crack-- a titillating adventure for the tongue. For veggies- get the shitake and kale. www.luvrae.com

SO crowded
Christina XuMay 8, 2013
$30 credit card minimum??!?
Fanny GSeptember 4, 2014
This place is Hit or Miss, went on a Saturday night, our girls night out and did lots of dancing, the outdoor patio is great, drinks were $14 for one Jack and Coke. Kind of steep
Naomi GheorgheOctober 14, 2016
Brief: The Bouncers took a REAL ID and then SOLD it. Do not go here
NYC PrideMay 31, 2017
Teaze is NYC Pride’s official Saturday event exclusively for women. After over a decade of “rocking women’s worlds,” we are shaking things up with a whole new rooftop location and more. Read more

Gets wayyyyy to crowded for comfort... My favorite spot is always the smokers rooftop section... Friendly ppl... A bit bridge and tunnel but usually a good crowd...
KarenJune 8, 2017
Total flapper era style design and feel to this place. Love the upper floors with the terrace and open roof.
Annie LowApril 11, 2013
Go for dinner instead of drinks. Surprisingly amazing food and great service. Will definitely go back.
Victoria NatenzonMay 3, 2014
This place is so big and so much fun especially in the summer when they open the rooftop. Good music it's really pretty :)
NYC BirthdayJuly 21, 2014
Great spot, especially on a Friday in the summer. If you are hosting your birthday or just want to come on out, let us know at NYCBirthday.com or call 646-389-2550.

$8 for a Bud Light. Um, what? No thanks.

Great party spot.. Multi-service venue for all occasions.. Not the cleanest but hey it's Manhattan.. People pay for location.

Calling young girls, or guys that like them. This is the spot where they go. Hotties, trendy music, decent but overpriced speciality drinks. I didn't go upstairs but it looks huge from the outside

I only go here for ticketed events put on by an outside agent. but it's good fun if you can brave the lines and the crowds inside on a typical night.
