by Lani Knick on Been here many times and every time I show up before 9pm to avoid the long lines. The concept of this place is visually stimulating. It's my kind of place - the 20s speakeasy prohibition sorta feel. Aside from the delicious drinks they serve, the Truffle Mac & Cheese is AH-MAZING! If you haven't tried it, then you really haven't lived nor have truly enjoyed The Edison. Tip: If you can, make reservations for a small table of 3-4. There's no required bottle service - just a $25pp minimum in food and drinks... and we all know $25 can easily get ya 2 drinks. And after you order the Truffle Mac & Cheese you'll probably want to order another one.
by Buena Gaylord on We arrived past midnight on a Saturday night in which the bouncer told us we needed to pay $25 each as cover. It costed us significant injuries at a nearby bar for us to get into Mansion for free (as a peace offering from the bouncer at that other bar). And thank goodness we didn't have to pay to enter. It wasn't a full house, nor was the venue wasn't as large as we hoped--particularly in the hip hop room where the entire dance floor was blocked off as VIP. So we had to dance in the limited areas around the bar. There was also only 1 bartender in that room. And the music was just ok. Despite the fact that much more was happening in the house room and also that the GoGo dancers there were very attractive, we're just not into that music. So it didn't take us long to leave. This place was just too hyped up, am not impressed.
by Melissa B. on I went here on the pre-opening weekend and was seriously disappointed. Speakeasy, what? Can you say gimmick? There was nothing sexy/hidden/secret about this place, um, NEXT TO RUBY SKYE. It's a club. A regular old club. A sure-to-be B&T haven. Come on, if the crowd was cheesy at the outset, there's nowhere to go but down... Speaking of down, the namesake slide is a joke. There are handlers at the top and bottom saying "slider" into their walkie talkies - are we at Six Flags? Is landing on your ass and looking the fool the thing to do now? Basically there is nothing intimate or provocative or outside the norm here. OK, the piano/DJ setup is sort of cool, and the flatscreens with fake shots of Union Square are interesting for half a second, but there is no soul. That's it. This place is soulless.
