by Cat H. on Popped in with the girls for my friend's bday. Walked in to a tiny 2 story venue with a long oak looking bar. Tables surrounded the dance floor and people looked down from above. Suk Sung was promoting so it was thankfully a pretty hot crowd. Eye candy everywhere, people popping bottles and a good vibe. Some rapper dude Paul Wall came in n rapped bc it was his bday. Although I'm not into rap, it was interesting. The bartenders poured really heavy n the bouncers were really nice to help me wrangle the bday girl. Overall, it was fun n quite easy for the 3 of us girls to walk in.
by Herschel Shutts on What the hell? I got an invitation from Gallery Bar to come to come to the opening night of their new lounge, Ella: a "glamour of the roaring 20s" party that was supposed to go from 8pm-something after midnight. They requested that we "try to dress your best", think 20s and 30s glam, etc. I had a confirmed RSVP email from the designated list person. I know the "laws of the nightclub door" in this town. I took time to try to dress as requested. I looked and acted just fine. I got there close to 9, which is on time when you consider that many clubs make people stand outside in any weather for 30 to 45 minutes after the event is supposed to begin. How dumb I is! "TRY to dress your best" should have been the tip off. At least I created a new word from the experience; one that's long-been lacking in our language. Behold the door-on! It's true it might not have been all his fault, but he's ultimately the one who could say yes or no. The ONLY people in front of the club were the door-on, bouncers and a stylish, well-dressed young couple who had just been turned away and looked stunned. Then I got turned away because, door-on said, they stopped letting in Gallery Bar RSVPs. When I asked why, since that's one of the owners' places, he said they overbooked their RSVPs and it was sooooo crowded. THEN WHY DID THEY BOTHER TO CONFIRM RSVPS?!?!?! Why didn't he even look at his list for more than a millisecond? Door-on said we had to be text-messaged to get in. What the hell is wrong with an email confirmation? Door-on: "Too many people, there's just too many people!" If a place is crowded, there's usually some indication of that outside, like smokers, people hanging out in front, going in and out, etc. There was no one there but us. WHAT K-HOLE WAS THE DOOR-ON IN? Were all the people inside, who ostensibly got there at 8pm, going to stay until the very end of the party? He was like the door-on at the Emerald City Gate in Oz. The couple had gotten the same story. We just stood there for a couple of minutes, kind of bewildered since so few people were even coming to get in. And we were all dressed up with no place to go nearby, because it was AVENUE A. But while we were there, they DID let in about 6 people who came after us--who did/didn't bother dressing as requested for the occasion, including an older guy with a worn, faded Adidas gym jacket and a phony press pass. (I can say becuz I know him--he doesn't even write this kind of review--just gets in to free eatin-n-drinkin things with his pass.) There was a guy in a plaid shirt & jeans they let in. Glamour of the whaaa? Sooooo crowded! Sooooo full of shit! Ohhhh and there's all their hype-itty about that interior. Well, I can't comment on that and never will, since I won't go back there. But I can tell you the club's exterior was more "Martha Stewart After 5" than Ella Fitzgerald. Was there any kind of acknowledgment of or or apology for door problems from the owners or promoters the following day? Of course not! Smart promoters will do that, but whatever. The previous reviewer is right; there are loads of other places to go in this city. And plenty that aren't as crappy to potential customers as this. But hey, it's only Avenue A. Don't get too dressed up!
by Liza B. on I come here with friends of owners/mgt and I'm still only giving this place 2 stars (what does that say). I had friends in from out of town and we all know that we have to take the out-of-towners to the meatpacking at least once. So we headed over and even knowing people at the door they still gave us shit and even having drink tickets we still had a bad time inside. The music is cheesy and very typical of clubs - can't the DJ just stick with hip hop and not go into the 80s classics that they play in Irish Pubs? The one thing I will say about this place is the drinks are strong. I'm not sure how much they are but they are def strong in a good way. The interesting thing is that even though the door policy is so hardcore the place is PACKED inside. It's difficult to move even if you have your own table. The weekend is def the Long Island/Jersey kids while the week is mostly new yorkers coming out for some event. If you have the option go on a weekday. My favorite thing about this place is the long hallways with mirror when you first enter. Don't expect much when you come here...it's just another city club.
