But recently I kept seeing good comedy clips of Comedy Cellar on YT so decided what the hell, why not give it a try? Pro tips: - it is worth it. cover charge is not bad, you basically get to see 5-6 comedians. some nights are $25, but it was Sunday, so was $18. plus 2 drinks, so not an expensive night out. - definitely get a reservation. don't be those 20 people sadly standing in the standby section on the sidewalk, hoping to get an open spot. between the 3 jointly-owned clubs (incl Comedy Cellar & Fat Black Pussycat), they probably do 15 2-hour shows a night. You can always grab a resv for tomm, if tonight is full. - expect organization/chaos. they sort of have this down to a science. they line up the 200 people on the street out front, check ids, assign your table, get your phones into bags, etc. but once inside the system can break down a tad and long waits for drink service and your bill at the end, so be patient. - you will be forced to put your phone on silent and placed into a sealed pouch for the show. no exceptions. literally, your table # is written on the outside of the pouch. - be sure to check-in the minute you arrive, to get your pouch and then get in line (there is no one telling you this) - overall it's a fun time. comedians are talented, it's one of the best places in the country to see comedy and quite a NY experience.

I went to their Gyalhattan event, which was a mix of dancehall and hip hop, and the energy was great. The crowd is mixed but tends to skew younger, and it attracts people from a lot of different backgrounds. Visually, the space is very cool. The dark interior is covered with artistic, almost glow-in-the-dark designs that give the club a distinctive vibe. The staff has also always been pleasant and attentive, from the bouncers to coat check to the cleaning staff. Every interaction I've had there has been positive. Bathrooms are surprisingly clean too (and actually feel safe). There can sometimes be a line to get in, but it usually moves quickly. For ticketed events like Gyalhattan, prices are reasonable, and if you plan ahead you can sometimes grab early bird tickets for free. They have a good-sized dance floor, and DJs rotate throughout the night, with the best sets usually hitting after 1 a.m. There's also a lounge seating area if you want to take a break from the dance floor. Overall it's a fun spot with great music and a real dancing crowd. I'll definitely be back with friends.

FIVE STARS FOR RUMPUS ROOM! We just planned my boyfriend's 30th birthday party at Rumpus Room (a Mardi Gras themed party for over 60 guests) - and I can't say enough about how amazing the night turned out. The party was so much fun, and it wouldn't have been such a perfect night without all the help we received from the owner, Gabe. In our planning, we reached out to many different venues - but it was easy to tell that Gabe was by far the most helpful and accommodating of them all. Every single question we asked him, Gabe went above and beyond to get it done. Gabe helped us secure all the extra necessities to make our night as special as possible. The party was enhanced by on-theme decorations (which Gabe helped us hang himself), catered food (which Gabe helped us get from Fool's Gold, the bar next door), and a customized drink menu (which Gabe + team helped create for us). Gabe was accessible throughout the entire process - he answered all of our questions through emails, texts, and phone calls - which is not the kind of service you would get from a regular corporate bar or restaurant. The space and lighting contributed to making it the perfect atmosphere. The DJ (Marc Montoya) created a great party vibe the entire night. AND Gabe actually took some professional photos of us, so we have the memories of this night for a long time to come. We can't say enough good things about Rumpus Room AND Gabe - we would truly recommend this venue to anyone looking to have an amazing, fun, and very special event!!! read more

From start to finish Gabriel and his staff were top class. Reached out to Gabriel through email to book my birthday and he was very prompt and more than helpful with all information and instructions for the booking. We were looking for a place where we could hang out just the six of us and dance without being stepped on all night and standing behind ten people to order a drink. This was the perfect spot very intimate feel with awesome music and a very mixed crowd of people which we really enjoyed. We were greeted at the table with a sign for my birthday which read "Rays Birthday at the Rumpus." The staff was excellent throughout the whole night making sure we had everything we needed and even letting us skip the line for bathrooms since we had a VIP table. At one point I forgot my phone in the bathroom and the bathroom attendant brought it to our table for me. One person in particular Renee was the highlight of our night constantly checking on us and making sure we were having a great time. The security was top notch as well. The music by Dina Regine did not disappoint either. She had everyone up and dancing all night with an excellent mix from all time periods and genres. Cannot say enough about this place and will definitely be visiting again. read more

I was having a hard time trying to plan my big birthday celebration until we discovered the Rumpus Room. Shortly after we sent an email to inquire about the option of organizing my birthday there, Gabriel called me to discuss options and he was so helpful and accommodating. We booked the private area with the private bar so we could bring 35 people and it offered a great value for such a big group and for the great options provided. We just had the party this Saturday and the private space felt spacious and comfortable for my big group to dance, mingle, and enjoy the private bar which was well staffed and convenient for everyone to get drinks served any time. The music was the best and everyone danced the whole time. The service was so great and everyone was incredibly helpful. The bouncer that was looking after our private area was so fun and helpful. I would highly recommend this venue for any party where you want your group to get a great service, space and just the perfect music to dance to all night. Gabriel and his team made my birthday extra special and incredibly fun. read more

The Rumpus Room was the perfect spot to host our 30th birthday party. We worked with Gabriel, who made the entire process seamless from start to finish. When I first reached out, we had a detailed phone call and went over all the options and possible add ons. We decided to go with a minimum spend, although there were also great open bar options. We had 40-50 people in the back area, which was roped off with a bouncer and had its own dedicated bar and bartender. Gabriel set us up with complimentary birthday signs and sparklers, and even VIP cards that let us cut the bathroom line. He also gave us recommendations for vendors for balloons and the photobooth take over, which we took advantage of. All of the staff were friendly and accommodating throughout the night. I highly recommend Rumpus Room to anyone looking for a fun birthday venue and a stress free planning process. read more

At the time of the event, the staff was awesome, the atmosphere was so fun and my guests and I had a phenomenal time. The Photo Booth is also a great added bonus too!

This is by far one of my favorite clubs in Manhattan. There is no negative attitude at the front door keeping you outside in the cold for no reason. If there's space inside, they'll get you in. The dress code is lenient and the staff is friendly. Above anything, the sound system in here is amazing! It has a full, warm sound. It envelopes the dance floor, And really sets the ambience for the place, letting everyone get down whenever and however they want. I will certainly return, and would highly recommend people to try this place out read more

Hands down one of the best places to celebrate a birthday in NYC! We worked with Gabriel to book two tables for our group of 15ish. The entire process was so easy and organized, and the night went above and beyond our expectations. Fantastic music, great crowd. We were up in the front but had plenty of space/never felt too crowded, and the pass to skip the bathroom line was a huge perk. Gabriel took great care of us and even sent great pictures from our celebration the very next day. Can't wait to go back again!! read more

Played every genre and music through the years. Cover charge wasn't bad at all. Less than $20 each. Bouncer at the door was straight forward.

I braved the rain with two friends on a Saturday night. We took advantage of the free 9 PM beginner salsa lesson, which was fun. Shout-out to the teacher, Andres - he's very patient and even though I know how to dance salsa, I appreciate the way he breaks down the moves for absolute beginners. Ladies can get in free before 10 PM on some days, and after that, it seems to be $16 before midnight. Not sure what the price after midnight is; in the past when I've walked past, the bouncer was saying $20, but maybe that has changed. That said, the night we were there, between 10-11:30 PM, it was pretty empty and low-energy. I'm not sure if it was because of the weather or what, but it was disappointing. There are 2 parts to the club - a Latin music part, and a Hip Hop/Pop/Techno part and you can go in between them. We checked out both - the music was definitely better on the Latin side. Even though more people came in, no one was really dancing. Everyone was just standing or sitting along the wall or at the bar. I know people need to warm up, but still! The DJ was good! 3 stars for the lesson, the tequila shot, and the Latin music, but I'm being generous. Note: coat check is $3.
