there is so much i can say about this place, one of my favorites in nyc... in summary it is a large, spacious basement restaurant/bar/lounge that has been transformed into a cave complete with stalactites, cave paintings, waterfall fountains, and a roughly 4ft statue of the venus of willendorf. it took over a year to build out the interior (est 2002). they are usually playing dance/EDM style music. the drinks and calamari are good. i have celebrated my birthday here at least four times over the years it is my obsession ā„

full disclosure i work with the venue but that is only because i went and loved it so much. itās perfect. some things about it:
- the dance floor is an immersive art installation
- incredible bookings of up and coming artists and big names by the co-owner/operator and creative director who is herself a dj
- the sound is so good its insane. perfectly tuned and balanced
- the dance floor has some āgiveā to it so itās wicked comfy to dance on ā i never get sore
- thereās COAT HOOKS *on* the dance floor
- the drinks are delish. theres this one cocktail called āthe coffeeā it is to die for. thereās a sick happy hour but drink prices are always reasonable
- the bathrooms are made for selfies but in a genuinely cool way
- the dance floor is intimate but thereās tons of seating and tables and places to chill throughout the rest of the venue (and you can hear all the music on the same sound system)
- the service is insanely good everyone who works there is so kind
- i never once have felt awkward or out of place there itās just such a good vibe and i always make new friends
thereās more but i canāt put it all in one post or iāll be here all night

One of my favorite places in New York. Artists doing weird shit for cheap, itās freaky, itās inspiring, itās accessible. Last time I was there I watched a girl sing all of Hamilton naked drinking wine <3

A former church in Amsterdam, converted into a music venue. atmosphere is great and the indoor balconies provide an intimate feeling
