I enjoyed my time at little sister! I think you need to dress the part if you want in. Coming early helps too. Most people were wearing classy clothes and a lot of black dresses and cool girl outfits! The crowd was actually diverse as well. Bartenders and bouncer were really nice. I think they want to maintain a sleek, classy environment. There were way more women than men in there as well so if you’re a fellow woman I think if you just dress classy and have confidence, and come early, you’ll be good!

Headline: (Un)Fortunately a fun club, small but good music, fine vibes; there are better clubs in NYC for sure no matter what facet you want to compare to

Details: Of course we’ve heard about this place as one of THE nightclubs in NYC, so we had to go. We had already done The Box and gotten in (somehow), so we weren’t strangers to the fickle bouncer scene but we were still worried. We showed up around 11:15pm, the line was kind of long but we waited in it and it moved, about 11:45pm we got to the front. The bouncer man that everyone talks about was there, he looked at us eventually and said we would have a $200 minimum at the bar. We (Asian male, white hot female) agreed and we went in; they took my ID and credit card and charged it immediately. Props to the bartenders for keeping track, honestly; they made it a point to communicate to me where we were in regards to the minimum, and about 4 drinks each (8 total) we were close enough to the minimum to feel like we got the deal of it. The bartenders are lovely! To be fair, a lower cover at another bar but plus the cost of drinks would be roughly the same cost. Not sure on how the bouncer came to minimum for us — not sure if it was standard, the couple in front of us somehow settled with a $1000/$2000+ table?

My girl friend dressed up in a balanced classy/showy black top and skirt, and I went in a nice going out collared shirt, pants, and good boots. We’re very used to “going out” attire and we stuck to that — people inside are wearing anything from suits and jackets to t-shirts and baggy jeans; again, likely many reasons for all of those. Probably dress to impress if you’re waiting in line like we were.

Re: the racism, we did see a South Asian couple
(man and woman) get turned away. Not sure why. We did see a fair amount of POC inside the club, so really can’t speak to the process and procedures of the bouncer. There is probably some rhyme or reason, but it wasn’t clear to us what it was (probably as arbitrary as every other “exclusive” NYC club).

Inside, it’s small, the drinks are strong enough, $22 for a mid-tier shot of tequila is fair enough in this city. The music was surprisingly good — mostly 90s/00s hip hop and pop, with some infusions of more contemporary music as the night went on. I can see why people enjoy the music here. It gets pretty crowded inside after a while, but we didn’t ever feel suffocated — probably more space per person than the average nightclub. We never felt cramped or that we were fighting to keep our space.

The bouncer did tell us that it’s good we got there early, because “by 12:30, it’s really happening”.

Will we go back? Definitely not needed, there are better clubs out there — we had a better time at Loosie’s, The Stranger, and even The Box offered something more memorable (but The Box has much worse dancing scene, if any). Come on by to see it, but I think there isn’t a need to be a regular.

I saw a shorter male bouncer shove a
90 pound girl who was walking out of the club, not resisting, with full force outside of the rope barrier. Absolutely disgusting, I will never return and he should be fired because he assaulted a woman who wasn’t doing anything wrong.

My jacket was stolen here. Before I could even react, the thief had already run off. Absolutely unacceptable. When I reported it to the staff, they showed little to no concern and were unwilling to check the security cameras. Their lack of effort and interest in helping was extremely disappointing. I expected at least some level of assistance in such a situation.
