205 Club - New York

The workers are SO WEIRD. They’re so unhappy and they literally just stand there and watch over the crowd? Extreme mood killer feeling like you’re being watched at your middle school dance. Music was decent. $120 drink minimum is outrageous but not completely unheard of

Severe warning that you need to check your tab when you pay. We ordered 6 tequila sodas and our bill had that plus 4 beers!! I honestly don’t think it was malicious because no one could hear anyone else but still.

Really good music, they had 80’s, 70’s hits playing and it was so good. the bouncer wasn’t nice at all but the owner and staff on the inside were great.

Scam of a bar. Overpriced and auto tip 20% regardless of what you get. Beware, they may overcharge your tab with extra drinks. My group ordered 4x cocktails and we got charged for 7x; raised with the bartender and they argued back saying we ordered the amount on the tab. Plenty of other bars in the vicinity that are much better.

Not worth the money. Cost $255 for the night for two people. Didn't get really drunk either. Went for the millennial party from 5-10 and it was honestly a lot of fun, but id never go back. Charged. 20% tip automatically so a default $40 tip is a bit crazy plus a $25 pp cover through eventbrite. Dj was a good time imo but if the drinks were like $6 less, id go back every chance i could. The well vodka was absolutely trash too. Like exceptionally bad.

Wow this place sucks. They charged us a bar tab for an empty club because we didn't have a "reservation" (nobody had a reservation)
Can't believe they then had the gall to charge $20 before tip/tax for a cocktail that was by far the worst mixed drink I've had in my life.

Do yourself a favor, go literally anywhere else - you'll have a much better time and spend far less money!

The ultimate lower east side club. Snug and intimate with one of the best staff in NYC. Always attentive and making sure each guest has the most memorable experience. Kudos to up keeping the downtown history of what an small nightclub is suppose to be.

Bouncers inside are way too aggressive. Shone flashlight directly in my eyes after I took a picture and said it wasn’t allowed while holding the flashlight to light in my eyes. Just tell me no next time, no need to yell at me and hurt my eyes for a first offense warning. Drinks are also $24 which is insane even for NYC. Acts exclusive even when no one is inside. DJ doesn’t take requests and can be weird. They take way more people than then fire marshall allows to the point you can’t move and feel unsafe. Crazy they haven’t been investigated for that yet. Also feels like they are racist? If we go with more white friends, let in easy. If with a diverse group, will make you pay a cover in my experience

Would give a zero if able lol. Worst most rude bouncers of all time.
