The Stranger 311 West 57th Street, Manhattan, New York 10019

"Great time, and great performances but the drinks are insanely pricey at $30ish each. Not cool that they already sneak the tip into the price then ask you to tip on it again which is hard to catch. I tipped twice because of that and realized after. No way to push a back button. My friend paid $40 for one drink. I paid about $30 for a simple house vodka sprite. Also don't leave anything in coat check. There is no clear way to get it back on the website and if you call to ask they will hang up on you before you even finish asking where to access lost and found. Well that's what happened to me and I was being very friendly. I sent an email to the help address on the website and no one has replied. I need my jacket before I leave town and just need to know if someone will be there if I make the hour trip to go there today. Update: Came to the location to see if I could talk to someone since no one has responded to my emails or calls about what was left. No one here. Guess they have zero avenues to help you if you are leaving town. I repeat, don't use the coat check and don't leave anything at this club. If this was your wallet or cell phone you would be in a very bad position."

"Headline: This is THE place to be if you want a fun, memorable night of dancing and nightlife in NYC. EDIT: Came back another time after this — still a phenomenal clubbing experience. Details: I’m no stranger to nightclubs, and I’m sure everyone is used to the nightclubs with the (boring) house music and it’s a one-dimensional experience. The music here is not that different from the aforementioned music, the experience certainly is. There’s a LARGE main dance floor with elevated surfaces, performances, a high ceiling, lights, and I think it’s important to note that it’s not all fenced off for reserved tables; in fact it seemed like it was all general access, which is fantastic. Exploring the other spaces: there’s a karaoke room, multiple bars, a casino/minigame type space, confetti room, mirror room — the service and energy of the people working here is amazing. You won’t be bored, there are things to do, and a night to live! My friend and I got our tickets about a week in advance for the earliest (cheapest) time slot and the space got busy pretty quickly, so don’t be worried about an early time slot. 10/10 I want to come back, the most memorable nightclub I’ve been to in NYC so far. EDIT: A friend who loves to party came into town, and after mulling over places to go clubbing, this is where I settled on (I was only resisting because I wanted to try somewhere I hadn’t been, but I knew all along this was the right choice for her). It was, maybe if possible, an even better experience the second time. Did NOT disappoint — so much fun with the people and the dancing and the vibes; so highly recommend!"

"Love this venue! There’s no shortage of things to entertain you with multiple floors to explore, crazy decor on every surface and live performance artists of every sort roaming around. It’s like house of yes but with way more space which makes it a way better experience. Incredibly nice staff as well from the front door hostess to the bar staff. So rare to have an overwhelmingly positive club experience in the middle of Manhattan!"
