Adi Dahiya: Amazing sound system, beautiful architecture, and tasteful programming. Drinks are a little pricey but it’s worth making the trip outside of BK’s usual locus of club music to visit this place.
AmateurConcierge: Great music programming and sound system, but also 3 separate venues/vibes with the bar, the listening room and the outside. Awesome spot. One of the best things in nyc right now
Dave Pinter: Arguably the best listening room sound system in NYC defeated by improperly mounted door hinges. Once you notice the squeaks, you can’t un-hear them. Still a pretty awesome place.

Heidi: $4 coat check. Peak times to pick up coats are insane as there is no line, just a crush of people shoving you. Venue itself: sound system could be better and there are support beams blocking the view.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: Circus-style tents set up as a nightclub! Sounds like a joke to me but says who?! I always have a great time partying here. Sound system and lighting setup are amazeballs. Drinks are really great too
Tian Xie: Coat check is a nightmare.
