Where to start with Bembe... reimagined from years ago... not the Bembe that Dj Gringo cultivated…read morethrough the years but a new vibe with Reggae/dancehall, afrobeats and other themed nights. Music is always good, sometimes a couple decades back as they dig in the crates and nostalgic dancehall plays... the service is always attentive and the female bartenders are always friendly... my fave drinks are the passionfruit margarita or the rum punch either one will do you just right. The real vibe starts a little late for the weeknight events... so be prepared to lose some sleep before work... always a vibe.. always safe and a staple in the Williamsburg communityfor Caribbean.

Delaceiba cookin' up the dope vibes!…read more Came out to see the DJ, Delaceiba, and he did not disappoint! The energies he provided kept the party MOVIN'. I loved that there were congas by the ready for a quick jam sesh! My only gripe was the drinks. My first drink was an "old fashioned" and it had a bunch of raw coarse sugar at the bottom. It actually looked like a Long Island iced tea, so I'm not sure what it was. It was a bit loud, so maybe they misunderstood my order. My second drink seemed accurate, and was just fine. Anyway, I'd definitely hit this spot up again, especially if Delaceiba is in the house. Much much love Bembe!

I also had a specialty drink that was refreshing and well-balanced. The bar is beautiful and definitely worth a return trip just to sample more from the drink menu. Though we only stayed for brunch, the lunch and dinner menu looked amazing. Think avocado fries, chicken wings, tacos, and quesadillas. Great food, great vibe--will definitely be back for the day party scene!

There were a few people downstairs at the bar, but there were lots of open seats and the music wasn't turned up too loud just yet. I ordered the pretzel bites, the wings, and the jerk chicken tacos. Everything was good but the wings were the star! The ranch and blue cheese dips seemed like they were homemade. The chef came out for a bit and they were really nice and made sure everything was good with the meal. I also ordered a delicious mocktail. All of the staff was friendly and attentive. Some other deetz about this place: * Lots of bathrooms and they are all different colors; very cute! * The upstairs area has the cute dance cave/cavern vibe. * Their instagram has all of the info on visiting DJs and art installations. I'm not much of a club/dancing person, but I love that this place has really good food and NA drink options. Will definitely be back!

I didn't get their name but it was a white male presenting person with long tawny brown blond hair and a septum piercing. 6/15 around 11:30 pm at the very end of the event I was attending a wonderful event for Tales of a Cocktail x Espolon and at the end of the night I was trying to get my friend to register with Campari academy // the QR codes were all over the bar... I asked "Hi do you guys still have any of the QR codes that were on the bar ? For Campari academy" and this person laughed in my face sneered at me like they were mocking me and said "i don't even know wtf that is" I clarified "oh the Pink QR codes that were all over the bar are they gone ?" Again they repeated " i don't even know what you're even talking about .. so no" The interaction was so rude and really put a bad taste in my mouth I went further and asked "oh yall probably threw them out already" , i asked him "you work for elsewhere right? And not espolon" - he laughed in my face again and said no ... I was trying to be nice and remain positive so I told him "oh you should look into it then! You're a bartender right ? They do lots of free parties and events like this one" His response was so nasty he smiles in my faces and said "yeah I don't wanna do that I don't really care" so I kept my composure because at the end of the day this was an event for all industry professionals, bar owners, bartenders LIQOUR reps, hospitality leaders etc- and this was the demeanor this person had.... I replied "oh you don't care huh? Well the information is there if you want it have a goodnight" and as I was walking away he said "I really don't" This was such an unfortunate and unexpected interaction just a few days short of the NBA playoffs party I attended with NYx Cosmetics at Elsewhere. - I work in hospitality because I genuinely want to be there and I want to give people exciting memorable experiences- not mock them to their face and try to make them feel small...

They have a good cocktail selection too, but its not on happy hour (they $15-17 if i remember correctly?). Playlist was great, a lot of pop punk/2000s emo so it was great to relive the classics. Pretty spacious front area of the bar, and there is a back room where people can hold events. It also seems like they host things regularly - I was intrigued by the crafting Friday's, and would love to come back for one! They also have a food pop up from Strange Flavor which serves burgers and such if you're feeling hungry. Cool spot with a great vibe! Will definitely be back.

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.

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.
