by Jennifer L. on I'm not quite sure what to say about this place.. it really runs the fine line between awesome and freak show. I was at Carnival for a friend's party on a Saturday night. Another friend and I got there right at 12, just as they started to charge cover. Since we were there for a party (and because I shot a sad puppy dog face at the bouncer) he let us in with no cover. We then climbed the 5 flights of stairs (no elevator?) in heels up to Carnival. The atmosphere was cool -- fun house mirrors, concession stand, carnival games. The games are a bit pricey but what else can you expect from a carnival gone NYC? Tickets are $1 each and each game is about 4+ tickets. Didn't try the food although I noticed popcorn and hot dogs among other typical fare. Drinks were good, roughly $15-20 each and decently strong. They have a yummy giant fishbowl drink for $85, we were told that there are 60 shots of liquor in it, so don't attempt it alone. Waitress service for drinks was terribly slow (one waitress for our whole group - about 25 people). We mainly hung out in the lounge area but there is also a dance floor in the "funhouse" that was really cheesy and reminded us of prom. The burlesque dancers seemed to be having fun as they pranced around on their own elevated dance floor. We got lost on the way out (those damn funhouse mirrors) and somehow ended up in the bowling alley a few floors down. This place is an experience, maybe not the best but definitely an experience.
by Billy Mentel on great bartenders, cheap drinks, good music. I always have a good time. I know the djs gotta get paid but I would rather pay more for drinks and not have a cover but that is just me. Also long lines for bathrooms on busy nights...maybe should have a guys and a girls with stalls instead of 2 unisex singles toilets. Anyway still love the place and the owners are super cool. not really into tacos but heard taco tuesdays are really fun.
