Downtime was AMAZING!! I booked a table for my best friend’s bachelorette trip and our expectations were blown out of the water. We were greeted at the door with our WONDERFUL waitress, Emily, and were taken care of from the time we stepped foot in the door until we left. The vibes and atmosphere were immaculate, the smaller space made the night so intimate. We also felt safe and comfortable, which means everything!! I will be back and will recommend to anyone visiting the city! 100000/10!!!! LOVE DOWNTIME!!!!!!

disappointingly and wholly unnecessarily genuinely rude and disrespectful bouncer. you could be white and wink at him though and he’d let you in with a smile. even though we were a group of 5 people there for our friends BIRTHDAY and he didn’t let us through though we had a paid table. He gave us the excuse of being packed and said we’d have to wait 30 minutes in the cold. We did. Because it was our friends birthday. Which was ending in 30 minutes….and then the guy proceeded to let a larger group of people than us cut the, now long, line entirely. And denied us entry after the birthday girl came to get us after all her friends had to disrupt the party to let people who are already on a list into the paid venue. Utterly shocking and his attitude was genuinely disgusting.

Best nightlife spot in east village/alphabet city by far! Doors up at 11pm on Friday and Saturday and it fills up quick. Great dance vibes and DJ.

Bouncer was extremely weird and rude, made me and my whole group uncomfortable. We arrived at 11:30 on a Saturday excited to check it out, and he gave us a weird attitude, acting as if this bar was exclusive. We got downstairs to find an empty bar so I’m not sure why he was on such a high horse.

I recently visited downtime , while the bouncer and the rest of the staff were fantastic, my experience was completely ruined by one incredibly rude bottle girl. From the moment she approached our table, she was dismissive and condescending. Any questions we had were met with eye rolls and short, snappy answers. It felt like she couldn't be bothered to provide even a basic level of service.
It's really unfortunate because the rest of the staff were amazing. The bouncer was friendly and professional, and the bartenders and bar backs were attentive and kind. However, the behavior of this one bottle girl left such a bad taste in my mouth that it's hard to overlook. I hope management addresses this issue, as it significantly impacted what could have been a great night out.
Until then, I can't see myself returning or recommending this place to others. It's a shame one person can overshadow an otherwise excellent team.

Resident DJ is openly gay bashing on Instagram. Unacceptable.

Would give this place zero stars if I could. The bouncers and security were rude and racist.
Rude bouncers and mandatory coat check that you have to pay for. Music is also trash
