YaniqueAugust 25, 2014Don't let the outside fool you,the club is spacious! You never feel like you're suffocating in here! Different themes every night of the week so it's definitely worth the long lines! Clean bathrooms!
Serg RamzSeptember 1, 2013Great night club the price was about $20 to go in but it was so worth it you never know what artists or Dj you are going to see. I got to see Kristen W and DJ Tony Moran 20 dollars well spent.
This club has it all (except a back room) I love the sound system, the spacious dance floor w/many ports of access.... I love College Nights, because of the FUN MUSIC ..But it has NO Wi-Fi !!!!
XL has a ton of great parties throughout the week. There is always a great crowd. My personal favorites are Hot Mess on Wednesdays and 20 Something Thursdays and late night Saturdays for some beats!
✨#IamRomdelacrème✨February 23, 2012Don't let the front area fool you- this new NYC club goes deeper than you'd imagine! The extra dance space- the 2 floored bathroom- the performance space in the back- This club has a LOT to offer!
Sean MundyJuly 27, 2012Came on a Thursday night for the first time. Tipped Cathy (sp?) up front for the open bar (10-11), she treated me well all night! Be a good patron, they treat you well!
Randy BettisMay 14, 2012Had a great time at XL last night during Christina Visca's Tea. Great space, great sound, amazing visuals, thanks Mitch Amtråk, Jason McCarthy & the staff of XL. Thanks Kim Sozzi & The Groove Factory
being a hater would be saying that they bring prompter with dying Parties. The precinct is a fact. Be aware & we ll talk later when one of your friend will be busted with goodies in his pocket !!
Come on Monday Tuesday's and wednesdays for the lie shows..Wednesday's HOT MESS is one of the best shows in the city! It will have you laughing all night long !
Thurs and sat are great days to party. Thurs are free and Sat has the best house music you'll find at a gay club! Party rages until 4am!!
Steve GianacaJune 23, 2012Cool place and atmosphere but pay in cash and wear long pants. The bar auto charges 15% gratuity on cards and the sloppy ones will spill drinks on the dance floor, hence the pants.
amazing new space. see jarrod at the front bar. amazing bartender in a great new club. take cards too! well $9 :)
Nice club - definitely new and needs to catch on but great staff - very friendly and just an all in all good time.
Village VoiceOctober 25, 2012Critics' Pick winner of The Village Voice Best of NYC 2012 Best Gay Dance Club!
Say Kevin Wiltz & Frank C. At the door on Thursday nights for free admission!
Hugo LimaJune 2, 2012Amazing place, but the music is sucks! When asked "it will be played progressive or tribal house, they said: - what? We are not that cool!
Ricardo McKenzieNovember 23, 2014Well versed DJ's, seamless bars, spacious dance floors, this club is it!
Great new fresh bar. Get this polite and hot bartenders What a novel concept. You have my business just in time
Neat light show. If you're looking for any other substance, ponder bypassing this wannabe Vegas scene and hitting a true locals spot.
VJanuary 1, 2014The bald bartender is incredibly rude. Didn't know ordering an amaretto sour could cause such an offense. Snobby atmosphere as well. Phantom of the Opera performance was great though.
$20 for 2 Coronas... It's great and all it's always a fun excuse to come on a friend's bday or something... Nuf said!
NY WaterwayJuly 24, 2012Sometimes they have really big DJ's come here! Look out for those special events. Well worth it!
Ted CraneDecember 16, 2012No other venue compares when it comes to gay clubs. Watch out though, cover is 25$ and drinks double in price as the night goes on.
@JaumePrimeroApril 22, 2012Seriously the cleanest club I have been to in my life. Also I could hang out in the bathroom the whole night!
J MMarch 22, 2012Used to be my favorite bar back on 16th street before the hotel closed it. Went for one 1 and didn't feel the same vibe. But, I have to praise the space and design! Drinks too expensive and watered!
- Daniel you can say i m a hater but are you gonna deny that the precinct is right next door ??i m just saying it s gonna be a interesting to see the night crowd meeting the police officer at 4am
BooieApril 1, 2013Tip is already included in price of drinks .... Of course bar tenders wont tell you that
Jayson LittmanApril 19, 2012Wed night drag show with Bianca Del Rio is a riot! Great hosting and performers!
Darnell T.August 24, 2013XL NIGHTCLUB YOU ARE IN THE WRONG CITY IF YOU ALL CAN'T TREAT EVERYONE WITH THE SAME RESPECT.- Alexa DOctober 14, 2012Place is great for music on Saturdays. But Snotty staff at the door. Drink prices are outrageous.
- Thursday's are 20 Something @ XL nightclub! Say my name @ the door for free admission all night long! The weekend starts on Thursday!
AP SSeptember 23, 2012$30 cover on a random Saturday that doesn't include ANYTHING...no thanks. Been here before, not that great!!!
Join Freedom to Marry and the Interbank Roundtable Committee for GET ENGAGED at XL on February 16!.
Tyson MorganMay 2, 2012Airbrushed dancers, really? Also don't dance up on me and then demand a tip. You can't dance and you had to paint on your six pack. #gayforpay
JonJune 2, 2013In a neighborhood full of great bars, there is zero reason to come to this incredibly overpriced bar with a high cover charge. Skip it.- J MMarch 22, 2012Agree: does not have the same feeling as the old, though the old was smaller by far. Was happy when it opened right around from me, but disappointed that is not as good as it used to. Overpriced exp.
Sexy hot spot....is it just me or are the bartenders a little slow?
Illuminare WellnessOctober 28, 2012Over priced, rude staff and owner John Blair said "I don't care" when a patron complained to him at how rude and discriminatory the staff are. Apparently the only thing he cares about is your money.
Adomako AlternativeMarch 3, 2012This place is another version of Splash by nicer. The guys look decent but the waiters and others were rude. I also don't like the fact that I have to pay 15 dollars to hear generic pop music.
Oel AzardepJanuary 27, 2012Pretty bad: nutcase people, overpriced drinks, coat check loses things, & felt like the 90s. Don't think NYers will pay to get in, but might appeal to tourists. Saving grace: Lady Bunny spinning
Jess D.April 29, 2012Dear women, you cannot get in without a gentleman. Talk about reverse discrimination.
