We were lucky to get in?

This is an odd review because we worked so hard to get in--the street was blocked off at both ends and there were 300-400 younger and better dressed people standing in the street waiting to get in (this was even before the club doors opened!) Once inside, we stayed to the bitter end (well, almost) and as hard as we tried; we never did really have a good time. The main floor was so jampacked everywhere that we wound up wearing our drinks several times. We even tried to pay $250 bottle service in hopes of getting a table but all were taken. The music was astonishingly monotonous for hours--the DJ that night was Boris--with no words or tunes and NO ONE DANCED!--even in the middle of the dance floor they mostly stood and drank. Pockets of dancing broke out here and there but it was too little too late. When we left, the street was still packed with people hoping to get in!! (Whenever 4 people come out, apparently, they let 4 more in.) In the future, I would chose a smaller club that really does want you to dance, not just drink.

Crobar is not worth the $30 cover and expensive drinks. Not to mention staff (bouncer) who have the nerve to grab girls' asses! Save your money and go somewhere else....

The limo ride to this dump almost made it worth the trip, but unless you're looking for another Studio 54 wannabe club in a bleek part of the city, don't waste your time.

OH dear. Though Crobar has many of its ducks in order [good parties, good dj's, lots of room to run around and be silly] it still has not quite gotten either their door policy down pat, or their VIP room treatment. Too many suburbanites in bad clothing and pearl and black dress clad women of the classic entitlement look to make it entertaining to a local. However their timing is good in that NYers are ready for a fun place to dance and play with their friends again. Though it needs some bridge and tunnel to make it profitable, something has to change to give this club the variety of attendees that large clubs need to keep them going. I think in time they'll get it - or at least I hope so.

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
