Went to La boom last night for 2 grupos that came from California. The Entertainment was great! Legado 7 and Fuerza Regida did their thing and we enjoyed the performance BUT the service was horrible!!! We had a bartender who kept on over charging us every time we ordered a drink (we ordered the same drinks over and over again) finally I asked her why and she claimed that she was including her tip, and we were also leaving her tips in cash.. then I asked her for a receipt and she refused to give me a receipt because she overcharged my husband (its $35 for one 6 pack of beer, he ordered one 6 pack but she charged him for 2) finally I asked to speak to the bar manager and she flat out said "No!" I then became angry but still kept it cordial. I simply asked one of the security guys to please get me the bar manager which he did... and I thanked him for being so nice. The bar manager came and I was trying to explain my situation but it was so loud I don't think he understood... he did get me the receipt which only said she charged my husband for one 6 pack but I explained she charged him $70 ... she charged him for 2! He was very Nice and came and gave us the other 6pack but I just wanted my money back. I didn't want to argue anymore and just left it as is. The bar manager was nice and he tried to fix the situation but it was so loud I don't think he was understanding, as for the female bartender with long straight black hair, Latina and petite.. she was Rude and she was demanding tips which is just Nasty... We were a group of 8 who paid $440 worth of tickets to get in and then spent maybe another $400 on liquor alone at the bar... Not worth it. We drive from White Plain, Ny to Queens and the only good thing was the entertainment. Everything else including that bartender was shitty! read more

ZERO STARS 1. flier said that there would b open bar b4 11pm. No employees knew what I was talking about when I got there at 10:30pm 2. Flier said the entrance was $30 for the 1st 200 ppl after it was $35. When I was let in there wasn't even 50 ppl in there n I was charged $40. When my friends arrived at 12am they were charged $50~ yes I kno retarded! 3. They charged you $10 to park on the street in front of the club!!! There has to b some law against that. What do u own the street? 4. I asked 5 different employees 4 hookah...nobody ever came through. 5. When I asked to close out my bar tab the bar tender stuck his disgusting tounge at me. How do u do that to customers? 6. At the door they took away my gum? Wtf? read more

You're kidding right? We were first told that there was a $40 cover charge then asked about it and we're then told there was actually a $60 cover charge. Sure, let's pay $60 on a Sunday night to be stared at by old men and listen to bad music in an overcrowded nightclub with no gum (confiscated at the door) with a staff that is unsure of the cover charge price. Needless to say we turned around immediately and took a pass on this nightclub, and you should do the same. I should've asked the owner for $1.49 the full pack of gum that was discarded at the door. I'm sure it wouldn't have been a problem considering the cover charge on Sundays is "apparently" $60. read more

Before going to LaBOOM for my first time, I was very hesitant because of the bad reviews on here. But lemme tell you what to do to minimize a bad time here. 1. Pre-game while being on the line or beforehand. 2. Go online and get your ass on that VIP line. I went with a group of six and we got in fairly quick. 3.Just sip free water when your inside. The result = You don't spend anything. Unless you REALLY want that extra buzz, then spending only $10 in a nightclub isn't so bad. The music was merengue, reggaeton, bachata, and a bit of house music. The girls looked really polished in here, even the big girls. For some reason big girls always have more confidence than these in-shape pretty girls. There are GoGo dancers and occasionally, Beetlejuice stands up and pours free shots on girls. He even got a boner -_- da fuq was that about thou? The crowd is mainly Hispanic, but I def saw a blend of others in there too. Overall, not a bad place if you follow my rule of thumb at the top. read more

Worst place! NEVER returning. The rudest and bought bouncers. This place should get shut down. I went on a Saturday night with two other girl friends. They highly recommended this place due to their first experience. I said "Why not?" When we got there the bouncers were SO RUDE. I'm extremely positive they were tipsy or drunk. We denied drinks from old intoxicated men. When my friends and I decided it was time to go home we sat down to call a cab. The bouncer walked up to us and said "you have to leave, your friend is too drunk". We didn't drink the whole night!!! The bouncer walked us all the way to the door and cut our wrist bands. A friend told me that the bouncers are bought. If you deny a drink and aren't making them money they will kick you out. NEVER AGAIN. read more

The worse experience ever!! They are so rude and so mean!! they didnt let us in for no reason!!!!! what the hell! so disrespectful.!

Wow I just came from this place and one word 'horrific'. I came at 1am the cover was $25. There was a HIGH abundance of south american/mexican folks. Nothing against them just little diversity. TOO much house music. I was wearing peep toe shoes and my toes at the end of the night were dirt black wtf O_o yea idk either. The men are ugly. Guys ask you to dance then turn to savage beasts humping the shizz outta you while you give your friend a look of despair. One star because they have like this food place after you come in and I was starving!! And it cured my appetite. Another star because the bathroom was clean and there were no lines. So let's see...this is NYC with plenty of other venues... AVOID !!! read more

Absolute garbage. Awful from the line in to leaving. The security staff literally stole a tool knife from my husbands pocket. Grabbed it from his pocket during check and instead of warning him, took it for himself. Literally pick-pocketing him. He asked if he could get it back and leave he said no. We asked if he could get it on his way out later on and he still said no. On our way in we paid $30 to see Alex Sensation and spoke to a higher up who said there would be no problem- we could pick up the knife the next day before opening. In the club itself it was disgustingly packed (maybe because of the special guest). But still, there was no way in hell you could get a drink or bottle service if you wanted to. And the music was so awful even with dj Kazzanova . All the dj's after Kazzanova literally replayed the same set. The layout of the space was so horrible you couldn't even dance if you wanted to. Over half the dance floor was covered with chairs and tables. And at the end of the night, Alex Sensation did not even show (which i hear happens often at this place). Apart from the false advertisement - the crowds on the way out grew increasingly violent and security did nothing but watch, even bystanders were being assaulted. The next day we went to recover the tool knife and were told the box with confiscated items had just been emptied before we got there and discarded with the trash. Yet when head of security opened the box with all confiscated items, it was still full. And somehow my husbands tool knife was not in it. Then the head of security said we were supposed have asked for it before we left and the security who took the tool himself even confirmed that he specifically told us not to. We were escorted off the premises after accusing him of stealing it with not even an apology. If you're looking for a place to stand and bop your head while having hookah water spilled on you this might be a nice fit. If you're looking for a place where security can rob you with no consequences - this is definitely the place for you. read more

3 stars for the big dance floor, the GoGo dancers and maybe the music??.... Pros -Dance floor is great, big and spacious! -Music was great for the first 2 hours. After that it was almost repetitive. Same songs over and over again which was a little annoying, but okay if your having a good time. I'm putting the music in the "Pros" because I danced most of the night. lol -Coat check. -Nice GoGo dancers! ;) lol Cons -Cover charge is impressively high. ($25) -There needs to be more organization at the front door. The Guestlist line gets too long, and its extremely slow, literally moves every 5 mins. Please be there at least an hour early if you plan to not pay entrance and are on a guestlist. -Drinks are completely overpriced. -Bartenders have no personality and are not attentive. -A lot of creeps!! ladies stay with your group of friends!(Highly recommend it) read more

This year this club have decreased in the quality of music they play!! The dj plays a whole 1 hr and 30 min of hip-hop! and suppose to be a latin club I ended up leaving because I got bore of the music! They only played 10 min of bachata and it sucked! please try to evaluate the DJ they bring to the club because you guys are going to loose customers! very disappointed ! this happened in July 28! read more

Wow these bad reviews are bad. My friend and I had gone to another spot on a Friday night cuz we just wanted to get our dance on (I won't disclose the name of the other place because I've had a good time there before). But that night, it was DEAD. So after giving it a chance for an hour, we just left and got in a cab. My friend suggested La Boom, and since I'd heard about it on the radio I wanted to check it out. Yes, there was a cover, but after being in such a deserted spot, we were happy to see the crowd so we just paid it and went in. Best Decision Ever! The music was awesome, the place was packed, the go-go dancers were such a cool touch, and the drinks were reasonable. We danced our butts off for 2 hours. I imagine it being soooo much fun with a big group, that's the plan for the next time around :) read more

I went to this club bc la mega was there and the live broadcast music was slammin. I live 10 blocks away and I drove. Couldn't find parking for half an hour. im thinking "Damn this place must be poppin." The line was long and I swear... NO JOKE. 90% of the men on the line was short and stalky. There was no mix of people. Mainly Hispanics. We definitely got on the line before 1130 and of course got in after midnight when the cover charge starts and miraculously the line started to move faster. So we go up the stairs to enter, forced to do a coat check then pay entrance fee and finally walk in to an empty dance floor. My friend and I made the best of our time and got drunk and danced with each other. Ooh and the plus was the stripper. Girls are crazy. Poor guy was being molested. He needed security to walk out. FYI I'm 5'6. Not too tall. A lot of youngings there. I'd go to Astoria or the city where the adults hang out. read more

The ambiance is ok, but it takes to long for them to start the show that they advertise. There is too much DJ time and are not clear at how long or how many opening acts they will have before any of the star attractions. They should be clear on how they advertise the events that they host. Like most places, they get you with a bunch of hidden fees. Coat check and if you sit at a table you have to pay for bottle services, the cheapest being $130 and not always available (per the waiter) and included gratuity= $158. Like any hosting location, it would be nice that the clarity of cost and time be clear to the consumer. It's ridiculous that after a four hour wait for an attraction, all I got is a $158 bill for a bottle of alcohol I won't finish, 1 horrible opening act and 3 hours of DJ music. I could stay home and listen to my own mix of music instead of coming here. read more

I came here on a Saturday night (last night), pretty much expecting the worst after having read the other reviews here. I arrived after midnight and had to pay 25$ (instead of the 20 before midnight) to get in. That's the reason I only gave 4/5 stars. Pretty ridiculous cover charge for a place in the middle of nowhere. The music was great and dancing was so much fun. I had a really great and awesome time there! Having never been to a real spanish club, I didn't know what to expect. 2 long island iced teas later ($12 ea), I was gettin my dance on!! The place was very very spacious. They had 2 bars (one on each side on the dance floor that had stairs escalating to the bar area). They also had male and female go go dancers. The crowd wad pretty diverse. Mostly adolescent girls and guys. Girls mostly wore dresses and pumps or jeans and heels and a nice top. Guys had on simple button downs (plaid, dressy, etc) with jeans and casual kicks. All in all, I will definitely be coming back for another great time!! read more

First of all I called le boom this afternoon they said no hats no hoodies no rip pants no Timberlands it was casual night I seen a lot of people in they're with sneakers and the other part I got a Long Island Iced Tea it tastes like cough medicine it was so disgusting read more

Went here for a dual birthday. We paid a lot of money to be seated on the dancefloor. We had to argue with someone to be seated away from the crowd until they realized we were a separate party. Also (not a bad thing) but my bags were checked and they confiscated my CBD oil that was prescribed as well as a lighter. But somehow they missed the knife I have which is in plain view. They don't give their "confiscated" items back either. I had to fight with the fake security guard to get my property back and a manager was called out. I will NEVER go back there. Also, I've had Yelp for 2 years and this is my first review.. I've had bad service but this was foul. read more

Experience was terrible waited almost 40min for a bottle. When I approached manger about issue he act like he can careless will never come again do not recommend. read more

My friend made a reservation for 3 people. We signed up to participate for the party upstairs of the lounge for Halloween. It was just the three of us but the woman upstairs gave us a difficult time to go in. She was really rude and nasty about letting us in when we clearly signed up for it. We never did got in. Completely unsatisfied, disappointed when we just wanted to celebrate Halloween. Not returning back that's for sure. read more

I enjoy this place because ladies are usually always free before midnight & it's 18+ for ladies on most big event nights. It's a great tropical night club, the music is always great I've seen Frank Reyes, De La Ghetto and Nengo Flow at La boom and all events were fun. It's a great place to dance it's big and the music is great on Fridays! read more

I do not recommend this place, very disorganized, I paid a lot of money to be on the vip section, I made reservations to get a table for 4 people , when we got there they gave me a broken table with two chairs, the employees were rude and they didn't treat people with respect and fairness, I couldn't enjoy the show because the waiters instead of working were in front of me watching the show and trying to get a date with the young ladies, taking them by hand to the vip section to the front of the stage to get a better view of the celebrity and the bouncer allowed that.... very disappointed with the place... please don't waste your money and time in La Boom... read more

Had a good time , got really drunk and they were able to get my coat and walk me to lyft. Hannn lol

Went here last night (Saturday night). This place charged us $25 each to get in!!! Twenty five dollars to go in and not be allowed to sit on your stupid empty seats because it's for bottle service only!!!! I HAVE ON FOUR INCH HEALS!! SMH Drinks are $10 and up and weak as shit! Oh and guys What do you call that white stage smoke that comes out of a machine ? (probably, white stage smoke...lmfao) That was everywhere, you could hardly see where you were walking. Green neon lights flashing everywhere which made it all worse. The stage had a little person dressed as a clown dancing with random girls. There was a woman on stilts with an umbrella walking around pouring watered down Bacardi shots in peoples mouth. (I know this because my friend took a shot) There were two women hanging from ropes doing acrobatic stuff. Random guys walking around with hookah's in there hands asking if you want a puff. (disgusting how people were doing it without there own mouth piece) WHAT IS THIS THE CIRCUS!!!!! The only nice thing about this place is that it has a huge dance floor. Freaking spanish music played all night, really DJ you couldn't switch it up? I was not there all night obviously with my four inch heals, not being able to sit down on empty seats because they were hoping for bottle service buyers. There were only two tables out of the seven that were occupied and it's 2am. yeah good luck with that. Didn't get to see the party rooms because I was on the other side of the club. Which reminds me the floor is sticky as hell in this place. GROSS! I won't be returning to this place at all unless I'm forced to for a birthday or something. =/ read more

I've been here maybe 7 times or so over the last few years. If you want to dance Spanish tunes then this is a good place. They bring in different artist and I've always seen a lively crowd. You'll see all ages here on the dance floor. Drinks will run you over $10, water is $5. It can get crowded on the dance floor and standing room can become limited.(not everyone comes to dance) Just be smart because it's not the best area and I would recommend going in a group. They have a little stand inside that has tacos and some other food to munch on if you get hungry, but I've never tried it. read more

No good. Water down expensive drinks. Over charge for a crappy place. Securities are terrible. There's certain ways to talk to people, i don't know where they get these people to work there . read more

Not worth it!! The first issue was at the door kindly asked a security guard of their weapon policy since I saw them taking away pocket knives and not registering it for people. After my question he considered me a threat !!! And took me outside to speak with a supervisor whom quickly became as confused as I was. The supervisor at least kindly answered my question but I had to make the line all over again. All mixed drinks are $14 on apparent 6-8oz cups full of ice. However, both bartenders that took care of me seem nice. The venue is nicely decorated. However, at times it feels like the music is on repeat. They played Shock Wes, Taki Taki, and All I do win 3 times each! Which was really a mood killer for everyone at the club. Before leaving my gf asked if we will be returning, guess what I said...? read more

Fun. Dj had a good mix and variety. A bit young. The guys still did ask if we wanted to dance instead of just grinding on us. Drinks $ were resonance. Bouncers were polite. The line moved fast. Just sad when you go to certain clubs in the city they frisk you. That is not a good sign. Place is big and has two large bars. Bathroom for the ladies was clean. They have a VIP section but the place had about 20% of people in the entire place so VIP didn't matter. Right when you walk in and pay and before you go in the dance/ bar area there is a snack bar selling empanadas and other Spanish goodies. Weird and good I guess. read more

I was invited by a few friends and had a good time. The food is good and so are the drinks. If you want to enjoy yourself for a great nice out, come here! read more

This is terrible club. No space for dancing and also a lot of kids younger than 21. Rude security and you need pay for everything. Never ever again read more

I went to this place years ago, wasn't impressed. I only went one time. Then last night I went for the first time.. during this time my close friend **Ana (changes name for confidential reasons) passes out on the floor.... SHE WAS NOT DRUNK. She has health problems but nothing that bad for anyone to think she'd randomly just stop. While she was on the ground.. all the bouncers tried rushing us out... I kept telling them that she is not drunk she has health problems. The f**king manager was so worried about his image and reputation, he did absolutely nothing to help. He tried to rush us, tried to pressure us, tried to do everything possible to get rid of us even tho my close friend Ana was in like diabetic shock. He was a coward. A disgrace for a man, if you will. He had 0 empathy for my poor friend. All the other bouncers sucked too. Nobody gave a damn about anybody but themselves. I'm disgusted with myself foy even giving their business money....... The only person i can honest to god say what an angel sent from heaven was WANDA. The female bouncer. She knew my friend *Ana was not drinking like that. She knew it was serious, she showed passion and empathy. And was the only one who made us feel safe. I am forever indebted to her.. i dont know if we will ever see her again because we're never going back... but, if she ever reAds this or if anyone who knows her reads this.. please let her know I think she is an amazing women & I respect her insane amounts because of the way she handled the whole situation last night. She was the ONLY one who was caring, attentive, respectful, empathetic and nice. Thank you Wanda for being the only person in there that I trusted and respected. I Will NEVER go back. But thank you Wanda. Seriously, you're an angel. Ps.. the hookah SUCKS!!! And the drinks were weak... and I'm not even saying that because of tonight, I'm letting future goers know. It's not worth it. Never going back to La boom. read more

I went on Saturday the 10th for my 25th Birthday and had a GREAT time. Got the Gold Package and it was worth it!...Mostly Spanish music (just in case lol) read more

I went on a friday night binomio concert and it was crowded (I hate empty dance floors so I liked it) yeah line is a little long but common guys that's not a big deal, I wanted a bottle for my sisters bday so at the door I was attended by a table host (dont know her name :( lol) she was really nice. Waitress was always attentive, music was nice, a mix of everything salsa, house, hip hop, bachata, techno, Cumbia, merengue, pop... Drinks at the bar hmmm not the best but tried the tiki bar the coco loco (served in a coconut) was strong and omg I loved it! If you want to see hot people go to their Colombian concerts, women are gorgeous! Pros -music -service from bouncers, hostess and waitress -huge dancefloor -nice sound -clean bathrooms -nice frozen drinks (tiki bar) Cons -unfriendly bartenders read more

They played good Hispanic music in the beginning but at the end they just finish with whack ass 90s hip hop man we tryna dance bachata merengue or salsa. read more

Good afternoon IG, just wanted to share my story. Yesterday around 12:40AM at @laboomny . Celebrating (@jessy15169 ) 39th birthday just as a girls night out. You know how that goes ladies! Like let's leave the men at home kinda night. This red shirt, tall, Brolic MAN decided to constantly elbow my mother as we were dancing. It's a CLUB, this is normal. No harm done. All of a sudden gets in my face just because my hand was around her as he was doing this. So my sister in law (@eve_boys4) puts her hand between our faces(The man and I). This man tries going at (@eve_boys4 )my sister in law. My mother reacts and throws her drink at him. He starts swinging and hits my grandmother, her glasses go flying. @chey_miranda16 gets grabbed by her face by this man. He let her go because I kept hitting him with my phone and mushed her as he let go. (You guys get the point) As all of us ladies try protecting eachother. The security guards that were everywhere yesterday night. But in this moment were nowhere to be found. It took about 10-15 people to hold this horrific nightmare back. In this moment, this club that was so packed opened up the dance floor. People with their phones out recording as if it's a boxing match. My point here is @laboomny has the weakest security I've ever seen. This red shirt man was so built he had @laboomny guards intimidated. DISGUSTING. read more

Dance floor is great, big and spacious! All the people we met were very nice and polite. I went there for a concert, ended up fainting in the middle of the concert. The security guys were extra nice from the moment they took my friend and I out of the dance floor until right before we left. They kept checking on me every couple of minutes to make sure I was okay. Did not hesitate to ask me if I needed anything at all times. They were all super nice even towards the end of the night. I will definitely go back if they have other concerts like the one I attended. read more

I have come here for their events at night and I must say the setup is a bit strange to have a "nightclub" type of event. The reason is due in part because the place is setup as a restaurant and the space available for dancing is very limited. I do like the atmosphere as well as the food. That is why I give it four stars out of five. read more

My experience at this place was horrible because of their overselling of tickets. We were in line for about 1.5 hours to get in even though we'd bought tickets in advance. I went to see a concert (Kjarkas) and it was the most packed event I've ever been to; there was no space to dance and even standing still led to being shoved by everyone around us while we were there. We left early because it was not enjoyable to be so tightly packed with other people, the performers didn't start the show until 1:30am, and I was concerned about safety due to the number of people and their increasing pushiness. I would never return for an event here. I will say, the staff was very nice (including the bartender and the security folks). read more

This place has went downhill in less than a year. Drinks are either way too strong, or watered down. This used to b the spot for my girlfriends and I, but not anymore. The crowd has gotten younger and younger and the staff super disrespectful. Bottle girls are rude ..the list goes on and on. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time. read more

I went to La Boom last night for a sunday Mexican event. A popular Mexican group from the 90's was offering a show there. I purchased tickets for my parents, my sister, my boyfriend and myself. I have been to La boom many times before but this was the first time I was going with my family. Doors were to open at 9 yet in reality they opened at 10. We waited for an hour in the freezing cold for them to open... which was very annoying. I immediately walked over to the wait staff to request to be seated in the VIP section and they told me I could sit at the table that I was requesting. When I walked back to get my family they told me that the table was reserved. I was outraged. I was the first one there! When I tried to complain the waiter told me that the table was taken because a bottle was already paid for and that since I hadn't purchased anything yet they had given the table to paying customers. We ended up taking another table but ended up getting treated very rudely by their incompetent staff. We ordered a bottle of champagne and were given a more expensive one. What completely pissed me off was that we were expected to pay for their mistake! I requested to speak to the manager but was denied access to him. Anywho... to make the long story short, the waiters are rude, the place is over priced ( we had to pay $100 just to sit in the VIP section and another $ 250 for their mistake.... and they included tip for the lousy service.) This place sucks... big time! We ended up buying three more bottles but the fact that they tried to make us seem like we werent paying customers pissed me off. Sorry La Boom you lost me as a customer. read more

I was mostly curious about this place more than anything. But now that I know, never goin back..... The reason this place gets 2 stars is because the place is huge and well designed. It really deserves 1. (truth) It was a Saturday night and thankfully, i didn't have to pay like most reviews I've read, my husband knew the promoters so we breezed in otherwise, I would've given this place a 1 (if that were possible). We didn't wait in line so that was a plus, it was cold and women in line were wearing little to nothing. If I were a single, straight man, I'd be pleased.... There was a radio station playing live that night so there was a cover but I don't think we paid since we were escorted in. We showed up after midnight so the only table they could give us was on the stage. I didn't have a problem with that but it seemed like a few desperate girls were crowding the stage trying to get close to the DJ or something. They were asked to leave after too many got on. Our bottle was paid for as well. So now your thinking "spoiled brat! why only 2 stars?" & i will tell you... upon arrival we were donned TWO separate bracelets, 1 for VIP and 1 that says "we're in". the music was fine, a mix of Spanish (all types from Mana to old salsa) and pop/techno. We didn't have to stand and wait for a drink in the crush of the bar or maneuver the dance floor with our drinks. Which was nice. It was when we left our bottle unattended just to smoke a cigarette outside in the smoking area. When we returned our Hennessy bottle that had more than a 1/4 liquor left inside was EMPTY!! People that were supposedly in the VIP section, finished our poor bottle that was left by it's lonesome. Even our ice was decimated.... :( AND, when we returned, we saw some youngster sucking on our hookah that was also left at our table. Just, attacking it like the coal was goin out and it had to be revived...... so.... sad...... After questioning the youth, and asking (jokingly of course) if he was the same fiend to steal our drink, he replied "I.... I don no wha happin to it......... I, (giggle, giggle, laugh) I didn see nutin......) we left.............. Wouldn't you? TL;DR, WATCH YOUR BOTTLES!!! it'll b gone if left alone, music was fine as was venue, too many sketchy looking ppl......IN MY OPINION!!!!! read more

As soon as I stepped on the line and saw the amount of underage-d kids and over-aged men/women, I wanted to bail. Unfortunately, my friend's cousin was itching to go in and ran ahead of us. The bouncer barely glanced at my ID before we went up the stairs to retrieve her. At the top of the steps, I saw undressed and over-sexed high school girls and MUCH older "gentlemen" and that's when I had enough.One of the "gentlemen" approached me and told me to go in and give the place a try. I looked at him and ran back down the stairs. The promoters were hollering at me and asked where I was going. One word, YUCK. Never again! read more
