House of Yes isn't just a venue--it's a state of mind, a glitter-drenched fever dream of queer joy,…read moreradical self-expression, and performance art that swings from the ceiling (literally). If you walk in expecting a traditional night out, prepare to be lovingly and fabulously corrected. From the moment I entered with a friend, it was clear this place plays by its own, very sparkly rules. The first room was more of a whimsical prelude than a line-up zone: drinks flowing, people mingling like old friends at a costume party, and a gloriously casual pile of pillows where you could recline like a disco-era Roman god. And yes--there was a tarot reader, naturally, because no true evening of hedonistic joy is complete without a stranger telling you your moon energy needs grounding. Once the main room opened, things escalated--in the best way possible. Performers appeared everywhere: on stage, above our heads, behind the crowd--acrobats, dancers, aerialists, all oozing talent, glitter, and just enough danger to keep you watching with your mouth open and your drink clutched tightly. It wasn't just a dance floor--it was a full-blown immersive experience. The music kept the energy up all night: infectious, thumping, and curated to make even the shyest feet consider their moment of main-character glory. The crowd? Pure magic. Full of respectful, expressive, and joyful people, the kind of fellow partygoers you dream about meeting in New York. Everyone was there to dance, to celebrate, to vibe--not to posture or preen. What makes House of Yes so special is that it's not just a nightclub--it's a celebration of freedom in all its forms. Of identity, of movement, of art, of joy. It's campy, chaotic, oddly intimate, and--somehow--profound. In short: if you're craving a space that feels like Studio 54 met a circus in a utopian queer commune, House of Yes is your new church. Bring an open mind, comfortable shoes, and a healthy appreciation for sequins.

A GREAT time was had at this night club. Don't have many photos to post from it because the phones…read morewere in the purse, but the hosts put on a great event and everything was so well put together and the venue was just as great! Would love to come back even though I live so far.

I've now seen several productions by Company XIV, most recently Petite Rouge, as well as Queen of…read moreHearts and Cocktail Magique, and every experience has been wonderful. Each production has its own unique style and atmosphere, yet all are filled with incredible talent, artistry, and attention to detail that continually brings me back for the next show. The performances are mesmerizing, and the ambiance at the venue where I saw Queen of Hearts and Petite Rouge is stunning and immersive from the moment you walk in. Highly recommend experiencing Company XIV at least once - though chances are you'll want to return again. As both a designer and photographer, I also wanted to include a few photographs I took that capture some of the visual beauty of the performances and venue.

What a stunning theater! I enjoyed this establishment over the weekend for a concert experience,…read moreand was not disappointed one bit. There is spacious parking behind the building, which gave me great peace of mind. Getting into the building and through security was streamlined and easily manageable. The architecture and decor of the theater is so regal, I could not believe my eyes. My friend and I ordered drinks and popcorn and our bartender was very friendly and quick with service. Prices, of course, were on par with NYC theater prices (a drink costing about $25). We both loved the concert and would definitely come back here for another!

King's Theatre is absolutely beautiful. The architecture, décor, and overall atmosphere are…read morestunning. I've been twice...once in the orchestra and once in the mezzanine and there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. The seats are comfortable, spacious, and even have cup holders. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the bathrooms were sparkling clean. Since it's a historic theater, there are no elevators, so be prepared to take the stairs if you're sitting in the mezzanine. Also, the mezzanine has concession stands but no restrooms, so you'll need to go downstairs. Getting inside was a little hectic, but once everyone was seated, everything went smoothly. I recommend arriving early so you can explore the theater and take photos--there are so many beautiful spots. I couldn't take pictures during the show because the Jill Scott concert was acell phone-free experience. The only downside is that the concessions are pricey. My $22 drink from the bar was disappointing and definitely not worth the price. Overall, it's a gorgeous venue, and I'd absolutely come back.

I wanted to begin by thanking my girlfriend and the staff for making this an exciting and memorable…read moreevent. My gf surprised me with front row seats to the show. We were literally in front of the stage. If you buy a seat and not a table you must go to bar and order whatever drinks you like. The drinks are fairly priced (had goose island on draft all night). Now let's assess the show. It starts with this quirky MC that comes out and introduces his quirky self and the performing aerialist and burlesque dancers. All of the burlesque dancers were very talented and they all had different personalities. You had the happy one, the sassy one, the fun one, and the evil one lol. The aerialists were very talented and disciplined as well. The Brazilian girl kicked ass! Now to make the night even more interesting I was volunteered on the stage by my gf for a little competition to win a free drink. I will keep the details of what I had to do to myself but I ended winning a free drink on stage. Overall I had a great night and the staff was very friendly and interactive. I would definitely come here in a big group or with a significant other. There are also plenty of things to do in the area such as Brooklyn bridge park. FYI look out for Groupon and LivingSocial deals.

Much to my dismay, the nearby Galapagos art space closed down a few months ago -- forcing it's…read moreinhabitants to scatter across the city. I started receiving emails that some of the performers transitioned from Galapagos to Below the Bridges and welcomed the opportunity to check it out. The host, bastard Keith was raunchy as always. He worked the audience and while entertaining, his entire performance was less scandalous than something you'd see at the slipper room. Sometimes it's more fun when things are eluded to than blatant, outright perversion.. Jenny Rocha and her troupe exude class, talent and skill. All of their lineups were engaging and appealing, especially the "hospital/surgery" performance. I was snickering the entire time! The rest of the performances were professional, all with some form of appeal and talent. The venue space is fantastically lit but, a little uncomfortable. The Aeriel/ribbon performers looked precariously close to the tables. We were awkwardly seated under the stairs at the end of the back row. As the stage manager was moving props next to me, I felt cramped between the bottom of the stairs and the wall. Additionally, I had to constantly reposition and myself so I could see the acts that weren't performed directly on stage. In short, I couldn't easily see the show - and for once in my life it wasn't because of any vertical disadvantage. While a table certainly would have been more cozy, and had a much better view, I didn't feel the $50 minimum per person (in addition to the ticket) was worthwhile. I also didn't want to be forced to eat there considering the plethora of dinner options across the east river... Doors open at 8:30, but it's essentially dead until 9:10.

This show was not very funny, pretty crass in parts, and just overall silly. It's supposed to be…read moregay friendly yet none of the people she called up on stage were gay. It just isn't that clever of a show. Simulating head at the end with a banana was ridiculously juvenile. Save your money!

Her…read moreand her talented crew have put together a raucous event that is non-stop from beginning to end. In a word, "fun". In a few words "an inclusive, often barrier-breaking experience." Your choice if you buy a ticket in the "participant" section (or) not but being close to the stage feels like riding very sexy roller-coaster. Perfect for a date night, for those couples that are looking to spice things up, and if you're single like me, also plenty of room to explore and make new friends. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely breathtaking. This show blew all of my expectations out of the water. The ambiance is…read moreperfect, the entire staff is incredibly friendly and the performances-- damn. I am so happy I went. I can't recommend this show enough. I got a Groupon and sat in row D, which felt very close to the stage. The tickets I bought included a champagne upgrade and that was a good choice. The upgrade includes a cocktail that comes with a small bottle of champagne, so about 2.5 glasses. They have 2 intermissions. The show is a little under 2 hours. It starts a few minutes after 8 pm. The performers are insanely talented. I'm pretty sure I sat there with my mouth gaping open for half of the time. I am definitely coming back and going to see their other show.

I can't love this place enough. I can't rave about it enough. Sexy burlesque girls (and this time…read morethere were a lot of fine looking men!). Something for everyone! There were also acrobats and aerialists this time. Bastard Keith (that's literally his stage name) brought the laughs again as emcee. And yes, he pulled out his testicle again. I even got called up on stage and had some very interesting moments with Bastard Keith, which was captured by an artist stage side (you know I bought that sketch too). This time I went on a Saturday night and again bought reserved seating. I got another seat right up front. I don't think it was 85 dollars this time though, maybe more in the 60s range. Still 100 percent worth it. Again, it was laughter til tears rolled down my face. It was joy. It was love and acceptance. If you're not a prude and you need some respite from today's hard times, the slipper room is for you. Can't wait to go back again. Ignore the hater reviews. They have multiple acts every night and you can tell the performers work hard on them. They are impressive. If you don't like it, please get up there and YOU do it.

I am not rating the theater based on the play I came to see, which was a vampire cabaret event that…read moreI found on the Fever app. It wouldn't be fair to the theater because then the ratings would be a one for lack of story, no props other than the beautiful big moon on stage, and the worst Dracula I've ever seen. The choreography was terrible because it seemed like the dances were made up on the spot except for one of the dancers who seemed to have a dancing background but not even that could save this show that was overly-priced. I wish I could ask for my $45 back but at last, this was a lesson to me to not go to anything that doesn't have any reviews because I have a feeling that they would have been all one-stars. The theater itself was very disorganized and had chairs set very closely to each other in what was the orchestra area. The stage itself looked like it belonged in a middle school and the balcony sets were too close to one another. The staff was nice and friendly but that was the only good thing about this whole experience.

Unfortunately, the show I went to see did not make me want to go back to the Roulette ever again. Went there with one of my besties to see a Vampire cabaret show that she found on fever. Loving vampire stuff I was eager to go and see an amazing show. Instead we paid $45 to see a show that looked like it was planned at the last minutes. There was barely a story line, the dancers were "meh" and Dracula.. Ill leave it at that. The venue wasn't the most organized but the staff was friendly/pleasant. The poor rating is mostly for the show, not the theater.

Looking for a unique night out? Get tickets to The Moth instantly. No really, they run out in five…read moreminutes, get on that. The Moth is a storytellers event that occurs at different places, and the one I went to was at Housing Works Bookstore and Cafe, which was the perfect venue. It started at 7:30 and ended at 9:30, there's no drink minimum, you can bring your own food, and tickets are cheap, but hard to get. It's essentially a show where people who'd previously entered their names get picked to tell stories in under five minutes. Anyone can do it, and anything can be said. There were funny ones, sad ones, dramatic ones, silly ones, overall twelve performances along with a host who introduces each one. They also sell drinks and snacks there, which goes to a great cause. Whether you're looking for something New Yorky, cheap, chill, cute, or thought-provoking, The Moth will satisfy.

Going to a Story Slam hosted by The Moth is actually one of my favorite things to do in the city…read more The story slams happen 4-6 times a month at various locations around Manhattan and Brooklyn (see the website for schedule). Each slam has a different theme. If you feel that you have a worthy 5-min story, you can put your name in the bag, where they draw out names. Ten storytellers go up and these stories are judged by three teams of judges from the audience. The winner of the slam goes on to the Quarterly GrandSLAM Championship. It lasts about 2.5 hrs and costs $8. I've gone to a couple of these at the Housing Works and I'm always really impressed by the quality and talent of most of the storytellers. Many of them take this quite seriously and you can tell that they spent time crafting their story and delivery. The best stories aren't the ones that are merely funny, but they're poignant, send you on an emotional roller coaster of highs and lows, and leave you with a message and something to think about. There's a certain raw honesty and catharsis that comes through and the audience is always supportive, especially so for the new storytellers who stand up there alone and vulnerable. Indeed, if the audience feels the judges are too harsh, the audience lets the judges know. At the Story Slam at Housing Works, the doors open at 7 pm (stories start at 7:30). There are limited seats, so if you're dead set on sitting, stand in line by 5:30. There are plenty places to stand and get a good view as Housing Works' second floor is a mezzanine. Recently I got to the line by 6:30 and easily found a comfortable spot to stand and watch (wear comfortable shoes!). The ticket sales of the Story Slam goes directly to The Moth. Housing Works, which is a wonderful organization that helps people with HIV/AIDS, sells alcohol and snacks, so you're giving to a great cause by drinking.
