by Maggie L. on I want to hate this place, but my twisted sense of humor won't let me. It has the absolute most redonkulous design I've ever seen as a place trying to host a decent DJ, with that massive circular bar that takes up, oh, 70% of the club. The dance floor is about as large as a parking spot. For a Hybrid. The sound system is superb. If you're downstairs. If you're upstairs it sounds kinda muffled. It's douche central. Funny though, the one time I show up in work clothes, no make up, and ballerina flats, I seem to be the hottest thing in the house. Maybe it's because the men could tell I was female, as I wasn't dressed as, or had enough make up on to pass for a clown. Some guys invited us to their VIP table, then didn't talk to us. That's fine, thanks for the drinks, peace. I think I saw Tom Green on a stripper pole but turned away when he whipped his manhood out... ... and they apparently charge $13 for redbull + vodka.
by Sonia S. on Got a chance to see this newly re-opened club in full effect with DJ AM spinning Friday night. Love the overall vibe of this place and really like the decor (exposed brick, industrial feel). The stage works well in the club- as you can dance in the main area or up on stage and be that much closer to the dj :) I'd love to come back for a concert- glad to have this place in my neighborhood.
by Delois Asturias on If you want to get gussied up and be "seen", Cielo isn't necessarily your best bet. There are many more fitting institutions in the immediate Meatpacking vicinity to grace your presence with. So why Cielo? Certainly not to check out your cool outfit. We're here for the MUSIC. So skip the attitude, stop preening, and just allow yourself to be immersed in the music. The water's nice. Jump in. And go to this small Meatpacking club on a Monday night for Deep Space and your soul will be transformed. Just trust me on this.
