HelenSeptember 8, 2013Your claustrophobia fades (shoulder to shoulder in a space about the size of a New York apartment) once you realize the crowd is pretty amazing. Music is mainly 90s-early 2000. There is a $5 cover.Upvote4Downvote
Francisco Feliz SanchezJanuary 5, 2013This is exactly what you get in the LES for small size (busy nights can be overcrowded) and hip scene but the music is so on point if you like hip hop bangers, classics and Thee throwback tooUpvote2Downvote
A L E XMay 14, 2012Little pricy, gets pretty packed, had a cover charge...However, Music is on point! Old hip/hop and R&B going back to 70s-00s. One room to dance and really enjoy your self.UpvoteDownvote
One of the best places to be if you're into hip hop music. DJs are of quality and really understand the importance of maintaining beats and counts.Upvote4Downvote
Jasmine MehrabiMarch 10, 2019Good for 90s and today hip hop and rap. Fast paced DJ. Small place and $5 cover. Worth it.UpvoteDownvote
Tinashe DhliwayoNovember 27, 2014Go a bit early because it gets super packed. Worth the $5 cover, great DJ, hip-hop and some reggae.UpvoteDownvote
Stephanie S.August 7, 2011Gets EXTREMELY packed and sometimes you may have to wait 30 minutes since over capacity, but definitely head over because they play reggae, hiphop aka REAL dancing music! Lol always a good time.UpvoteDownvote
Bee WilliamsDecember 29, 2016This place was cool! DJ was good! Only downside was it's small interior. Gets very crowded on the weekends.UpvoteDownvote

thmSeptember 3, 2014This place is way too small and packed with students. Womp. They played random rap/hip hop on Saturday night. It's like the music we loved maybe 10-15 years ago but most of the songs...eh.UpvoteDownvote
