by Muji B. on I love 1Oak. It's one of a kind. There are new spots opening up every day and I check them all out but in the end 1Oak is like no other place. It's where everyone goes to at some point or another during the night so it tends to be pretty empty around midnight and only starts to fill out after 1am. The doorman Binn... He may get many hate complaints however I have to say that he is actually a fair guy who is surprisingly polite. I've heard doorman in different clubs insult people. Despite that I go there every week at least once, Binn still won't give me hugs and kisses and instead maintains a professional attitude. (so don't be upset if he is not all smiles when you approach him for the first time.. it's just the way he is) The staff... They are polite and even the bouncers are very friendly and civil. The decor and ambiance... is very chic and upscale in a welcoming, comfortable way. The music... well it's mixed and they do offer some great Djs. Lately it's very IN to have the djs play a song for only 5 seconds. As if they want to make sure that you cannot dance to a song.. ever! I feel like the Djs are trying to show off by playing 4 thousand songs a night. Even though they may have Djs like Behrouz ( Few weeks ago.. it was awesome) they are more on the Hiphop style. (almost every night there are many celebrities and often singers like Jay-z just show up) The Crowd.. People of every race can get it as long as they look the part. By that I don't mean if they are blonde and hot. I mean whatever their skin color is they must be dressed right. Some girls might show up in tight sexy dressed and sexy heels but 1Oak is not that type of a club. Most people are dressed comfortable in a stylish way. Think hipster without the heroin-addict look. You might see men wearing business suits partying next to the guy wearing skinny jeans and converse shoes. Ladies are wearing little dresses to leggings etc but the sexy look has to be tastefully done. So no tight jersey dresses with leopard print. Many celebrities, models, and socialites. It would pay off to know a good promoter who can get you in and offer you drinks or get a table of your own otherwise you're in the middle of everyone and it gets packed. Smoking.. There are 2 smoking areas. If you can hold it off, do that because there is no air in there.. it's tiny and gets packed and the smoke is thick. (on the good side, being there for 5 minutes will give you the motivation to quit smoking) Bathrooms.. words to remember; try not to be too drunk or almost sick as the bathrooms are located downstairs and the stair is like a test for drunks. How to get in; Know some people, be polite, dress the part, act the part.. since they can tell the fakers.. be the part. Once you're inside, you will definitely have an amazing time. I highly recommend 1Oak to everyone who wants a genuine NYC spot with real NewYorkers. PS. Sunday nights are a promoter driven party apparently. It's an ok party. Not bad. If you've never been able to get in, then go on a Sunday to check out the place. Sunday nights are a bit off in the city anyways. I prefer to go on Wednesdays and Thursdays. See you there :)
by Son Thieme on I decided to have an LA birthday weekend and Boulevard 3 was the Saturday venue. I have been emailing the VIP coordinator Mark back and forth about my VIP/bottle reservation. Mark is great, patient and accommodated all my needs. THANKS MARK! He got all my guests in with no problem. The balcony area was great. 2 bottle service, plus strawberries, chocolate fondue and tacos. Great venue, hip hop was on point, dancers were awesome. Our server Crystal was really SUPER, she made sure we had a good time and even treated my bf and i to a jager bomb shot. LOVE it. I would definitely go back again. Everyone seemed to like the place alot. Different from the typical daygo clubs.
by Arthur Boesch on Hi everyone! First thing I'd like to say is that my bf DJ Kelly works there, so stop by and check him out. He plays House from 11 til 2. He's a dope DJ so come support him. This is a little club, but there's two dance floors to get your boogie on. Music's cool! Atmosphere's cool! One thing I'd like to say, "Girls, watch our for your dresses!" I went there to support my bf once and this guy stuck his hands under my skirt and grabbed my cheeks. He denied it, but I was sure that it was him. What an A*hole!!! Luckily, he was thrown out! Other than that, check out my BF DJ Kelly "my ALLSTAR DJ"
