    We went to the Xmas Spectacular at the House of Yes on Sun, Dec 22, 2024, 6:00 - 9:00 PM in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn right after a show by Company XIV. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We enjoyed it, but it is a bit "wacky" and not overly professional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The story line was silly and a bit hard to follow and hear at times, but it was still very fun and entertaining, overall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Our favorite part was the two aerialists dressed as naughty nuns. That whole act and accompanying music was sexy AF![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a few people with extraordinary talent and several who are just having fun while performing, but don't necessarily have any formal training in anything (kind of felt like a community theater group or a group of like-minded friends performing).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is nudity, crude language and concepts, anti-religious, and politically progressive themes. We loved it, but it might bother your grandma. No kids allowed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We bought (2) "Premium Seats" for $213, inclusive of fees. I recommend getting the premium seats, but the theater is very small, so not necessary at all[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Take a look at my pics for perspective. I think Premium is basically any front row seat to the stages. There are signs on the seats denoting which are which and you seat yourself where you want within your level, on a first come, first served basis. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dress fun...it's a wacky group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Follow @houseofyesnyc on instagram for event updates. Arrive early to grab a cocktail in their front room before you are admitted into the theater. The bar takes both card & cash. They have non-alcoholic drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]YES, there is an after show dance party.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can bring cash to tip the performers, but it was not obvious that many did, so don't feel obligated if that's a concern. Photos and videos are encouraged and so is tagging them @houseofyesnyc on socials. No flash!! I suggest to combine this with either a show at Cocktail Magique or Company XIV, as they are both AMAZING, a minute walk away, and similar in the sense of being "adult" oriented.

    House Of Yes is such a gorgeous place to attend an event. I went to a burlesque show there, several nights ago. The atmosphere was dark, velvety and vintage. Chairs were set up around the stage in a way that ensured that every seat was the best seat in the house. House Of Yes looks like it may have been a theater or play house in the olden days. It's nicely maintained and trimmed in so many gorgeously gawdy, lights and frills. There's an enclosed patio area that patrons are allowed to smoke in. There are also a few giant Roman statues out there to keep you company. I look forward to attending more events at this space. I didn't indulge in any of the bar offerings. I was told that the drinks are pretty weak, unfortunately. Still a great place to have a fun night.

    I had heard of HoY for a while, and when I saw Glitterbox was coming to town I figured it was worth planning a trip. They released free tickets for early arrival, so we were there around 10:30pm and there was no line, even though there was already a few people inside. The venue is adorable, cute decor and lots of disco balls. They have coat check, and a few different areas. Bartenders were quick and nice, and sound was great. Plus the dancers were amazing. A great night, even if we left early. Plus side, great food trucks outside!

    We came to House of Yes for their Dirty Circus on a Saturday night. It was a great 2 hour plus intermission show. Our event was hosted by Pixel the Drag Jester, who was very funny. I loved her rendition of the wicked witch. The show was sexy and fun with performers who were incredibly talented and did some amazing stunts. My favorite part was the Aerialist duo, who performed twice during the show. The drinks were ok. I did like the Oaxacan drink and the frozen strawberry margarita. TIP: The popcorn was naked and bland if you don't use the butter and salt provided on the counter;) I loved the eccentric decor of the place and how they decorated the bathroom stalls. At times, they have different stalls in front. Today, it was a beauty bar. Other times, it has been a tattoo artist. After the show you can stay and dance in the club which becomes busy after 12am:) It has become more touristy after the New York Times article that it was the #2 party place at that time(I think around 2020).

    This was a knee slapping good time. I had a fabulous time. All the acts we're good and the seating was excellent!! They have a bar but the drink could have been better at those prices! Overall I had a very good time and will be back for another show

    Hi Marina! House of Yes does not sell food inside the venue but on special occasions we do provide refreshments where indicated on the event page. We invite you to grab dinner at QUEEN, a delicious mediterranean restaurant just 1 block away from the… 

    Hi , does the venue have a smoking section?

    Yes! A huge smoking area that also has a bar!

    Is it mandatory to be dressed according to whatever theme the club is hosting? Can I come in with another costume on or will I be denied entry?

    They welcome everyone no matter what you wear.

    I dont see a party listed on the calendar for the Sunday night I'm in town, is HOY open on Sunday nights?

    I've only been to one show at HOY. General tickets are standing but the VIP ones include seats and tables.

    Could someone enlighten me on their experience here?

    Each night has its own theme which adds to the craziness of this place, good company makes the difference this place is wild & free I’ve always has a great time.

    Does this establishment accept outside food? I plan to bake a cake for my friend birthday and would like to know if i can bring it along

    Most places generally don’t have a problem w bringing a cake along for birthday celebrations however since this is not your typical restaurant I would call them to verify.

    If I have tickets for 1:30am entry, can I still try to go earlier or will I be denied?

    Thanks for reaching out. 1:30am entry tickets grant entry only after 1:30am. If there is room in the venue earlier, you may be able to pay the difference in price to enter earlier - at the door’s discretion.

    Cute spot to go out and boogie…read more Bar serves cute drinks including non-alcoholic ones that are presented across a screen like something out of Star Trek. So good and not horribly expensive! Dance floor is an intimate vibe, where phone use is discouraged and everyone is moving. Really electric place with great sound and vibes.

    Preface: I was down bad, y'all. I had the norovirus - which has been rapidly spreading in NYC - and…read morewalking pneumonia at the same time. I'm not sure how this happened because I'm always mindful (and demure ) of the places I go and religiously wash my hands when I get home. BUT after narrowly avoiding death, my friends decided to celebrate my full recovery, and life in general, by dragging me to Jupiter Disc, last night. I'm not sure what the cover was because my friend paid for tickets in advance. For a dive bar, it's quite spacious it was compared to similar spots, which are usually smaller and have you stuffed like you're inside a tin can of sardines. Don't get me wrong, it's not huge but roomie enough to get your dance on without stepping on someone else's shoes. It's also super clean and has proper air ventilation... if you're into that sort of thing. The light fixture in the middle of the ceiling... should I call it a centerpiece? is impressive as well. I've seen many LED fixtures over the years. This is amongst my favorites. Another win of Jupiter Disco: on a cold, January night they had an adequate number of bartenders. Something other places struggle with. I can only speak to the cocktail I had and it was wonderful: Professional Widow ( Tequila + Lemon + Ginger + Cardamom + Blackberry Balsamic). I had a few of those and they were all made to perfection. My friends ordered other drinks but they said everything was to their liking. The DJ - For Future's Sake: Just wanted to drop a quick additional note about the DJ, For Future's Sake. Each time I hear his sets I become more and more impressed. His ability to mix top 40 hits with obscure and niche dance and EDM tracks together is unmatched. Shoutout to him for keeping the vibes pretty epic last night.

    BEWARE: Multiple Phones Stolen in One Night, Management Showed No Concern…read more Both my friend and I had our phones stolen inside Ciao Ciao. We later learned that at least two other women also had their phones stolen that same night. When we reported it to the bouncers and management, they showed little concern and made no meaningful effort to investigate, review security footage, or help locate the stolen phones. We even pointed out an individual whose behavior seemed suspicious, but instead of investigating him, management defended him. After I questioned him myself, I watched him immediately leave, get into a car parked directly in front of the club, and drive away. Something seemed quite fishy about his relationship with the club. What makes this especially concerning is the safety aspect. If I had not been with my friends, I would have been stranded for the rest of the night without a phone to contact anyone, get directions, or access transportation. Having multiple phones stolen in one evening should be a major red flag for any venue, yet staff seemed completely uninterested in addressing it. Based on this experience, I would not return and would urge anyone visiting to keep a very close eye on their belongings.

    Overall rating: 4.7…read more I am obsessed with this place, but you have to come in with low expectations. A night out dancing with friends will do just fine. There's a $10 cover after a certain time which is most places for dancing. Drinks are delicious as well. Definitely helps if you're tall.
