Located on 2nd Street on the same block as the Glass House, The Haven is a small but mighty place…read moreto see a live show. The Haven is a 125 capacity space with brick walls and wood laminate floors. It's a pretty cool picture when you walk in. The Haven used to host all sorts of music but in recent times they've dialed back on hosting hardcore punk shows because people can't control themselves. But if you're interested in all sorts of alternative bands there's still something here for you. Absolutely no alcohol on premises but you can get water. Security is pretty cool and aren't afraid to kick folks out for acting a fool. Parking is anywhere you'd park if you were going to the Fox or Glass House. The Haven is an awesome venue and I hope they start to host hardcore punk shows more often but I don't blame for putting down a pause. That said the sound is real good and it's an awesome place to see your favorites up close. Check their IG for upcoming events if this sounds like your vibe. Highly recommended!

The set is located in the 80s bar in Montclair. This…read moreHalloween season the theme is "Macabre Manor." Reservations are required which entail a $15 charge per person. Basically it's a cover charge as the 80s bar does a cover on the weekends too. Be sure to check in with the host on the left. They have you wait in line until the next group is done with their timed seating. We had a 10pm reservation and probably waited about 15-20 minutes to enter. Walking through the 80s bar it gives off very clubby and busy vibes so it was hard to imagine a speakeasy at the end of it. I was actually shocked upon entrance and really impressed with the detail and ambiance. It is a small space and keep in mind you may share a table with another group if necessary. The drinks were actually phenomenal. On the pricier end of $22 and up but we're so good. I loved the horror theme play on the cocktail names! The candy man was delicious and my favorite. The Lester drink came in a light bulb with an edible flower and that was definitely an experience! My hubby loved the Samara which was a delicious espresso. I wish I could have tried more cocktails but our timed seating was up (90minutes). Overall, I was a bit worried with all the poor reviews but we had a good time and definitely got you into the spooky season spirit! The staff was also very kind. I do wish they had more horror actors but still a good time. Tip: parking ample and free All ordering is done on your phone so if you have Apple Pay it makes it so much quicker to close out the tab when ordering.

We get wristbands and assigned a table. We were told to wait in another line but we were let in shortly after. We bypass the 80's bar and go to a back room to make it feel like a "speakeasy." They gave us some ground rules and led us to our tables. At the table you have a QR code where you can place drink orders. The bar brings out your drinks to the table. Service was fairly quick and friendly. The drinks were all sweet cocktails and in the "Matterhorn Lodge" theme. There is a 2 drink minimum purchase (per guest) and each drink is $20+ so it can add up. I'm more of a beer person but some of the drinks were delicious. There was one that tasted like Christmas morning (cinnamon, clove, milky) and another drink that had popping boba that was also fun. If you're a butterfinger or peanut butter fan, there was one drink that tasted like it (you'll see it on the drink menu). I wouldn't say the drinks were strong. They do a good job of enforcing the theme. They had a "Yeti" come out and interact with the tables. Good for photo ops. They also had a magician doing a few tricks, and I enjoyed that the most. The place was kept fairly chilly! Even the bathrooms had jokes and signage on the walls that alluded to the alps. Overall a great time. Small venue but pretty chill. Can be pricey. Take a sweater. Good for dates and small groups.

They have security who was respectful and nice, and the bartenders are cool and help you get a drink quick. They have a quarter machine to exchange your dollars and also offer to purchase coins at the bar. I recommend this place to any gamers and will definitely be back.

This review in re: The Daft Punk v. Crystal Castles night at Flyway. The main mixup had to be that…read morevery little Daft Punk or Crystal Castles was played at the event. I almost thought it was an 80s night with the Bowie and When in Rome I heard. There was a screen that projected a montage of photos of club attendees from previous events with the occasional Daft Punk robot picture mixed in. Other than the occasional photo, I found the house and electronic music non-existent on Daft Punk v. Crystal Castles night. There was some dancing, but the Flyway photographers regularly interrupted it to snap photos of people posing as if they were having fun. One star for trying too hard in ironic and sad fashion.

I don't drink, I'm sober and when I go in she finds any excuse to tell me I have to buy a drink, in front of everyone and doesn't even give me a chance to settle in.

I thought it was kinda a money grab about how they charge you $200 to hold the table and that doesn't include the bottle or tickets to enter so whatever I just got the regular skip the line ticket for me and my man we decided the same day that I got the tickets that we didn't wanna go. We didn't like the reviews of the venue and we didn't like the area so we canceled our tickets. I see an immediate adjustment on my banking so I'm like OK damn I'm OK. That was cool. Today is Sunday. I go to look at my account. They refunded me and then snatched the payment back immediately. At first I was a little confused but only reason why I was able to catch on is because my account balance changed when they took it back . they never really credited me so I just contacted my bank and did a dispute with them and sent them over receipts of me canceling the ticket getting the email that a refund was on the way and the refund policy. Yeah I would never purchase another fucking ticket from this promoter or venue. I'll just wait to see them at a reputable venue with reputable promoters

This place was such a letdown. My friend and I came here expecting a fun night and it ended up…read morebeing one of the worst club experiences I've had. The bouncers were rude from the start. We were wearing tank tops and got denied entry at first for no real reason. It felt weirdly targeted and just left a bad taste before we even got inside. Once we got in (after realizing we were actually in the wrong line), the place was dead. Like... no one dancing, barely any energy, people just sitting around. It felt awkward more than anything. They also charge $30 cash only at the door. No credit cards. If you don't have cash, you're stuck using their ATM. That alone was annoying. Most of the tables were reserved and overall the vibe just wasn't it. Definitely not worth the money. I wouldn't come back and wouldn't recommend it either. If you're choosing between this and the club next door, go to Flexx Nightclub instead. Way more fun and actually feels like a club.

Came to Flexx Nightclub with my best friend to see Cade Maddox and had a pretty good time overall…read more The best part was the show. I really liked how interactive it was and how the crowd could be part of it. That's something more clubs should be doing. My only complaint is that it felt way too short. It started around 9:30 and we came a little late, so it was basically over by the time we got settled in. After that, it just turned into a typical nightclub. The music was solid and easy to vibe to, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. The owner was also really nice, which added to the experience. I do wish they had more gogo dancers and that they weren't just stationed up high. It would feel more fun and energetic if they were walking around and interacting more. There were only a couple when we went, so it didn't feel as lively as it could be. Overall, I enjoyed it and would come back, but I think it has potential to be even better with longer shows and more performers.

I came in about midnight so it was still fairly empty, but the owner said it gets more crowded and busy around 1-2am, and closing at 4am. There's a few bars/clubs that are next to this spot so expect a lot of foot traffic and moving cars. Parking is about a block away in parking lot area but you could try your luck in parking in front of this place (don't bother). When you enter this hookah spot they not only ID you but they also pat you down to make sure you're clean. Inside is a pretty cool vibe with some fairly loud rap music playing and a few TV's playing music videos. They have a bunch of different hookah flavors and I got the Blue Ballz. Hookah is about $30 a piece. He made it in about 5 minutes and the hookah was great! The vibes were definitely good and the ambiance was quite enjoyable. If you want a spot to CHILL, this is cool - but don't come here at 1-2 am if you're not trying to be in a crowd and possibly loud people (most people are probably drunk and leaving the bars/clubs at that point) Overall, I'd definitely come back here with my friends!
