The met was AMAZINGGG. I can't praise them enough for the service and how they catered to me and my bf. It was our 3 month anniversary and our server very nicely treated us with champagne and a burnt creme which were both high quality. We got the long bone dinner for 2 and the presentation was out of this world. Huge tomahawk, could barely finish a few slices and I feel like it was fairly priced for the quality and presentation as it was cut table side. Every time we finished a glass or a plate they were there within minutes to wipe the table and get us new silverware if needed. It's definitely pricey but a once in a lifetime restaurant for me. read more

I mean, what can I say, it's the Metro. I went for a day party and honestly remember this place being a lot nicer back in the day. This time, it just felt a little dirty and unkept. Drinks were okay, but nothing special. The VIP section definitely wasn't giving VIP vibes. Overall, my experience was just meh. read more

Whoaaaaa! College-aged crowd mixed with Boomer men with money who buy tables & bottles to lure the young girls. It will be hard to move through the crowd for ANYTHING! Drinks, forgidabboutit ... go shmooze with the old men. Bathroom... good luck. You MAY get lucky with a minimal extra charge for VIP access to the balcony... but the women's bathroom only has 2 stalls and the sound is shit and there is not one good viewing location of the musical act from the balcony. As I entered the manager told security to stop searching people and just get them in. Obviously questionable. If there was a fire, you're gonna be fucked. Will not be back. read more

"Go get a security guard to get him a water", this is what the bartender had to say to someone attempting to get water for someone literally passed out. Wanna feel what it's like to be a sardine, stank and everything?? Go here! This place is dangerous, Travis Scott vibes all the way. Too packed, and 9/10 times the show isn't even quality. Dillon Francis sucked, no seven lions, and tables and chairs EVERYWHERE for people to trip on. I'd give it 0 stars if I could. Also prices are outrageous. Lame venue that doesn't give a rats behind about their customers. read more

I have been going to the welcoming party given on the Thursday the week of Essence Festival and the 4th of July for years; I never paid attention to the cost of drinks mainly because I'm there to enjoy my time with friends. Last year during the same time I purchased a drink from one bars in the club which was normal pricing but later when I purchased the same drink from another bar in the club the price was 10$ more! This year, last night!, I purchased a double shot of Ciroc with orange juice for 30$!... you can purchase a 750ML bottle for 30$ if not less. The problem is that I use cash; I ask how much, they give me a price, I give them cash, they give the change without a receipt. I'm done with that place. read more

Every time I buy a ticket to see a performer they don't come on until 2am. I am very disappointed every time. This will be the last time I come. Place gets way too overcrowded, you can barely walk anywhere. Has great potential, but needs to step it up on the amount of space and the main show starting at least at midnight. read more

It is a beautiful venue, poorly ran consistently. In service from front door to bar to bottle service. Somehow they never change over a decade of consistency that's what they have.. waste of money and time every-time every event. read more

Pretty cool venue looks great and there are many reatrooms. Bars are pretty big and bartenders are friendly. read more

The Metropolitan - Dance Clubs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

So on a regular night here, this is not my scene or my crowd, but I have to give it to them: it's a great space and all the staff were really nice last night. If you've never been, it also goes by the name of Generations Hall. I think the Metro is the club while Generations Hall is the space, but the party was thrown by "Metropolitan" on the flyer, so we'll roll with that. Finkle is Einhorn. Einhorn is Finkle. The crowd tends to be a more presumably posh group and they don't really get there till 11 in high heels and gel'd hair, and they're looking at everyone while sipping 'tinis (I'm exaggerating a little for effect on the 'tinis). Some of them are cordoned off in little VIP sections that remind me of roping off cattle in little pens. NOTHING wrong with gel or heels...they usually all look really great and clean as opposed to some of the dirty bums in the dives I love. Just not really my scene. But last night, was a pretty great time. We arrived around 7pm for the Crown Royal "Bag The Birds" viewing party there. I got a black and gold Crown Royal tshirt that isn't an XXXXL or a baby tee made for a Barbie Doll...I think it's gonna be my new favorite tee. So The Metro consists of multiple rooms and levels. This is probably why their clientele is so fit, all those stairs. The first room has a giant bar in the middle and the dance floor to the right of it, bathrooms on the other side of the bar. There was a buffet of finger sandwiches, mediocre jambalaya, bouncy meatballs as my friend referred to them as, and pretty good wings as well as a cheese tray, with three types: cheddar, pepper jack, and gross (not sure what flavor the gross was, I just did NOT like it and I kept getting it confused with the pepper jack). This buffet was complimentary and I greatly appreciated it, since the drinks they made were delightfully strong. In the middle room, where there is also a raised bar that you can watch down on people from had three corn hole games set up where our Stomper krewe (who were performing that night) and the gelled hair guys could compete to see who could get the corn bags in the hole the most. I played a decent game. In the very, very back though....was the piece de resistance. A jump jump house with four inflated pedestals and in the center...an inflated wrecking ball that you pushed at your opponents to knock them off of their inflated pedestals (the metaphorical comparison of knocking a Stomper off his inflated pedestal is hilarious to me). But watch out...those boys can throw a mean wrecking ball. This inflated jump jump of awesomeness was enough for me to score the party itself as a 5 star. For Metro's staff to put up with me and my reversion to an 8 year old was remarkable as well. It's a great, fun space and you can spread out quite a bit. The staff was pretty awesome and they had multiple bars open so it was never hard to get a drink. Oh yeah, and the game...TVs EVERYWHERE and no one can block them 'cause they're all pretty high up. I would say if an event is being hosted here, don't fear the usual crowd. They won't get there till 11. read more

The Metropolitan - This just happened. - Dance Clubs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Nice venue 3 stories and all lay different music but overly crowded and a bunch of old people lol maybe we just went on the wrong night .

This venue literally sucks. I didn't even get to see the main act because it was so overcrowded..... like what did I spend $40 for? Outside? People warned me about this place but I wasted my money anyway haha. Never again. Could have had an amazing night at Republic for much less than a poopoo night here. read more

Came here for Essence Fest and never again. First, I paid for bottle service. As soon as I got there I showed the person at the entrance my QR code. We're sat in our section and told that a bottle girl would be with us shortly. We waited for like 20 minutes and no one showed up. Then, the same person that checked us in out front tells us that if we're not getting bottle service we have to leave the section. What?! So u show my code again and ask her to send a waitress over. In the meantime, someone is sat in the section next to us. I look over and a waitress comes right over to them. I flag her down and she tells me to hold on. Now we've probably been waiting over 30 minutes. Maybe another 15 minutes later she comes back over to the other table but still doesn't stop at ours. So I go grab her and tell her we've been waiting for 45 minutes with no service. So she finally comes over to take our order. And then they mistakenly bring out the wrong bottles. Then when we finally get our bottles. She just leaves them on the table for us to open and pour ourselves. But she opened and poured bottles for the other table. Lucky for her gratuity is automatically added or she wouldn't have received a tip. Next year I'll definitely be going to another club. read more

Dont ever go here! We were in town for two days and herd that this was one of the best clubs to go to. We were lied to. First of all there was an 8 dollar entrance fee, fine considering the reputation We entered and were shocked by the low amount of people that were there. The music was bad and the people not very nice. We went straight out. We went out literally after just oke minute. I told them what i wrote here and demanded a refund. I mean come on. 1 minute? A manager came and refused us a refund. I even tried to meet halfway and get half of the money back. But it was a big no. This is not how you treat your customers. I strongly advice you not to go here. read more

Metro is pretty inside and outside and very spacious but I didn't feel so safe the whole time I was there. A drunk girl pulled my friend's hair for no reason. There were too many bar fights and not enough security. Someone might end up dying in this place tbh. Staff are super lazy too. read more

The Metropolitan - The Chainsmokers!!!! - Dance Clubs Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

They have a few dozen really good events to attend throughout the year. The Black and white party, fashion shows, Halloween, New Year's Eve bash etc. The venue has 3, YES count them three separate rooms for dancing. They only open the first and middle ones for regular weekend nights and for the big events they open the third room. They also have 5 bars when all three rooms are open including one upstairs. Upstairs is usually sectioned off for VIP during a crowded event. All three of their rooms have separate music. So the first one will be playing r&b/hip hop while the middle one night play more digital/techno sounds. Lasers/fog and your basic VIP couch sections with tables and bottle service. The VIP sections will run you a pretty penny, but as long as you have a few people with you and you're splitting it, it's reasonable. Drinks are pretty expensive with minimal alcohol content so it's better to pre-game before. They usually charge about $20-25 to enter and then you have to buy drinks. But this is one of the more clean clubs that locals like to go to and meet/hang out with a big group. The best time to arrive is around 11:30p and stay till around 2am. Anything after 2 usually ends in really sloppy drunks, fights, an empty club. It's by far one of my favorite clubs because it's so versatile and able to hold large events as well as not being small, cramped and not able to move around. read more

Now this is definitely one of the best night spots I have been to hands down... Despite the cover beign a little steep ($25 Friday, at 1am!) it is definitely one of the hottest spots to see and be seen with an adult clientele (grown & sexy)... just mad I missed Anthony Hamilton.. but was lmao when I saw that the hostess was that chick from America's Next Top Model!! read more

Ahh, I spent many a drunkily drunk dances here! This place is always under constant rennovation. However, that being said, Metro is one of the better and nicer clubs with a fantastic interior and limited wide spaces for weaving in and out. usually there are three rooms: 1) white ppl room (heaven) - with your high technie trance/jungle music. here you will find the abercrombie poster boys and juicy couture posers. 2) yellow ppl room (purgatory) - all the asian ppls gather here...a sea of yellow. 3) black folks room (hell) - all the great hip hop music and oddly enough, the best room! hahaha.... drinks are tough to get b/c im so damn short! haha its okay though, it's nice knowing tons of friends to get your drinks for you! most def dress to impress. no ripped jeans!!! whatever you wear, make sure you don't wear it again in about 6 months! oh and dont be dumb and get valet, you'll be waiting for your car longer than it takes for most ppl to get home! read more

This place isn't as terrible as some other clubs (*cough* Amps *cough*), but it's still not really my scene. It is a big space with three different bars downstairs and the staff does seem to do pretty well in handling a big crowd. The music is horrible and way too loud. Yeah, I know, it's a nightclub. I guess I'm old. Whatever. When my teeth are vibrating in my head, I'm not having fun. They have different theme parties that they go all out for. I haven't been to one in years, but I remember them being a pretty good time. read more

Well I had no intentions on being inside of a club no time soon but needed to make a visit for a special event. It definitely wasn't what I was expecting but here is the lowdown. Parking: Around The Metro there is street parking, but if you are there anywhere after 8pm it will be hard. Also in the vicinity is two paid lots. If this isn't your style for $20 you can go valet style, especially if you are the type to walk around in extremely high heels that you can't walk in. If no valet be prepared to walk two to three blocks maybe unless parking and near lots. Facilities: It's pretty big location on one side I was able to attend a private party, while the other side club services were going on. This is a good location to have a special event and even a concert in club like settings as well as open up for the opportunity for mingling. Drinks: Pretty decent enough drinks. Bartenders make some okay specialties. No real complaints. I'm not big on clubs but this place is okay. I do feel its great venue space for special events. read more

Saw Alan Walker there other night. Opening DJ and headliner were all pretty short sets with weird transitions in between. Show was advertised to go until 1-2 but was done by 12:15. The club is ok. A couple of the Bartenders were fast while the others were socializing with customers holding up the flow. Club has potential but to expect people to dress to impress on normal nights and we are looking at rough construction floor beams and wiring for the balcony, awkwardly positioned VIP and the dance floor that has a weird slope on the sides is a bit of a stretch. Do not go expecting a Vegas-like experience. read more

I've only been here a handful of times. I've always had a descent time. Once, I walked in a fashion show here back in December. The ambience and atmosphere is very nice, upscale, and classy. The drinks are very expensive so just be aware of that. There is a separate private room in the back for large and private parties. I'm not sure about the upstairs... I only went up for the fashion show and they closed it off for the models only. So I'm not sure if anyone can go up there at anytime. Nice place, it's worth a shot. read more

Club is great,but the staff is not. They were all racist. Everything else is good. I had a good night there till we were racially mistreated. read more

Since the remodel, the "Metro" looks great and sounds better than it had in the past. (Tuned extremely bass-heavy) They've taken the unfortunate Tiered-VIP route, complete with the corded-off VIP seating area in the middle of the dance floor. Also, top 100 festival/radio music is all that's played here. Bring in some musical diversity and this place would shine. Sound Quality 5/10 - Bass heavy Decor 10/10 Production 8/10 Cleanliness 8/10 Service 8/10 read more

I've been to a few music events here and it definitely needs some changes. The rooms are pretty and the stage/music was good, but the workers were pretty bad. One security guard pushed me hard while he was walking through the crowd from behind while I was just watching the music, so I pushed back and said "stop pushing" (not realizing it was security in the moment) and he came back and pushed my with both hands VERY HARD. I'm a smaller girl and this really turns me off on this place. Also, they charge $4 for very small water bottles. No free water or ice like most places serving alcohol have.. They sometimes sell more tickets than they have room for, and it can get very cramped. Workers don't seem to know what's going on, and I do not feel very safe here. It seems to attract big cliques of friends who are also violent and rude. read more

Partied at this club for Essence Music Festival 2015 and I will never go back my friends and I did bottle service and purchased two bottles of Moët and the waitress gave us plastic cups to drink out of. It wasn't until I asked to speak with someone in charge to get champagne glasses. We spent good money at the club and recieved horrible service read more

I've attempted to enjoy myself many times in this venue but it just isn't my scene. DJ techo/hip hop/rap music just isn't a form of sound that I find pleasurable. The clientele here just doesn't seem to be the kind of folks I easily meld with but that might have a great deal to do with the fact that its usually so loud you can't communicate with anyone verbally. It just seems like a cheesy place to me and I can't get into the groove this place offers. It seems like the crowd is mostly folks from the suburbs and I don't know anybody that hangs out here. When I've gone here with friends we never make it even an hour before we feel like we're getting our teeth pulled and we run out as fast as we can. read more

Went there recently and was suprised, because again, they are renovating it seems, but that's a good thing. They had a heaven and hell theme going on(Purgatory?) Anyways, hell was jumpin because hip-hop and dirty south rap was being played and of course lotsa peeps in that room were getting low. Then there is heaven where trance was being spinned, the middle room looks like it was in the middle of a renovation, the club owners had a corridor going back and forth from heaven and hell. Along the way you will find the bars, drunk people, money on the floor, obnoxious loud girls and guys. For the most part, I liked it and enjoyed my night because I got down and dirty in hell, but I mellowed out in heaven room. Take your pick cowboy Cover charge is $10, parking is a pain in the ass and the real partying doesnt start til after 12 so if you come early(like 9PM), you are gonna end up sitting there nursing your drink or waiting for it to get packed, once it hits midnight----it's on. Dress code is dress jeans for you gents, dress shoes, no tanks or wife beaters allowed. In other words, dress to impress. read more

Came for my cousin's bachelorette party on our last night in NOLA. We arrive around 11:30 pm and it was dead. There was a few stragglers and 3 2 other parties. Around 1 am more people started coming in. The music was good. The bathrooms were clean and very nicely decorated with a variety of mirrors. If we ever go back I'd most likely come here again. read more

Went here for a show and had VIP tickets. They had oversold the event. Even with VIP tickets it took more than 1hour to get inside. Floor and door staff usually aren't friendly. Bartenders are cool thou. All around management could do better at promoting a friendlier concert goer environment. That being said, they do book solid EDM shows so I'll probably be back until a better venue opens up. read more

Went to this club for adventure club for Mardi Gras the club and music was great but the manager is the biggest peice of scumbag to ever walk this earth. I ordered specifically 8 waters and was counting because I was getting them for a friend and he had to pay me back well when I got the tab it said 15 waters and 3 beers. When I tried to dispute the charge the manager was very rude to me and said he would call the cops on me for trying to steal. I have pleanty money and probably make more then him so I have no need to steal. But it's the principle that I was over charged and he did nothing to fix the situation. He judged me as some drunk kid before even giving me a chance to explain myself. Don't know who this manager is but I hope he rotts in hell. read more

Not open when they said they're open. Went Saturday night but the place is totally dark

Visited NOLA for a week and was looking for a nice place to dance that plays EDM. Did some research and discovered this place. So...all the websites say it has 2 rooms - one for mainstream/top 40 stuff, and the other for EDM - so I arrived, paid my $10 cover, and went in expecting 2 rooms... when I asked about it, I was told, "We don't do that anymore." Someone needs to update their website. read more

I have attempted to contact the metro on several different occasions to book a VIP and bottle service for my birthday. I only got through to someone once who assured me I would hear back in the next day or two. It has now been weeks and I have heard nothing. Terrible management and obviously run poorly if someone willing to pay hundreds of dollars at their business has still not heard back. I'm astonished that it's this difficult to get in contact with ANYONE working here. read more

Worst venue I've ever been at, go to Republic for a better experience. The Manager I met last night was extremely rude & the employees were disorganized. I'm from out of state and dropped my ID on the ground. When I came back for it (needing it to catch my flight home on Monday) one security guard said he grabbed it, another thought it was fake, lied and said it was thrown away and I had to argue with the manager to finally get it back. The manager lied and said it didn't scan, but they scanned it to let me into the club in the first place. read more

I've only been here for special events, you know when they class it up and call it, "Generations Hall". The bartenders were friendly, fast, and made good drinks. A-ok in my book. The place itself is alright, it can be a little cramped since its spliced up into different sections. Although, that can be good if you are trying to duck out on someone. read more

The staff and owner are extremely rude. They also wouldn't let me bring in my camel pack, and presumed to charge me $4 for water. Way to accommodate for the rave community. I doubt I'll ever come here again, regardless of the event. read more

Came here for an event with my SO. I didn't realize they must have renovated the place recently, because it's way different than I remember. Anyway, it was nice enough. Comfortable couches and chairs around tables were available, as were tall chairs and tables. Getting drinks at the (open) bar didn't take too long, and the whole place seemed to be pretty clean. In general, the venue did a good job. I just hope the food wasn't catered by them... read more

This venue is HUGE. Probably one of largest clubs I've ever been in. there are several rooms with different DJs and there are two levels. There's a stage in the main room as well and several side VIP areas. My friends and I had VIP tickets for our party and were not pleased to find that the general admission line was moving much faster than our VIP line; however once inside, things got better. There were plenty of available seats to sit when my feet began to hurt in my shoes which is a major plus for me lol. I'd visit here again. read more

Paid VIP and had to wait. Letting folks thru bc they know them. Won't ever do this again. They have my money but won't let me in. What's the point of paying in advance if can't go in first. Party was cool but they have to go back to prepaid....walkin... read more

It is a nice atmosphere. I wish the dj blended his music better. Other than that, I enjoyed myself. I would have to give it another shot when I am back in Nola. Also, when we used our coupon they had no idea it was on yelp, but they still honoured it (which was good). read more
