I'll admit - I've ever gotten myself in here so I'm not sure if it's a total pain or not or if there's some crazy cover (thank God I've got some dialed NY friends!). But what I do know is that, for years now, the crowd has remained consistently good and there's always great music to dance to. I prefer to hang upstairs with the tables/table service (although it's easier to use the bathrooms downstairs) and feel like I'm at my own little dance party while I watch the crowd boogie on the main floor.
Everytime I have been there it has been a good night!
