decent music, extremely crowded. Not very exciting

THE most fun place to go out in NYC! Period. End of discussion.The music and overall aesthetic/vibe of Joyface brings so much light to my life. I am forever grateful to have such an incredible place to have weekly therapy dance sessions.I cannot speak higher about Jen and the people she has on her team. Special shout-out to Z, Daniel, and Ben!!Everyone is so welcoming, kind, and SO MUCH FUN to be around.Come here if you’re cool and want to BOOGIE??

I went to Joyface, and I really needed a kidney, the bouncer gave me his kidney. He saved my life, I will go back forever.

My friends and I visited this bar around 8/8:30 on a Wednesday night and we were the only ones in there! The decor and vibe are so cute. The drinks were good but a little pricey (my friends paid $18 per glass of wine and my Negroni was around the same) but pretty normal for nyc. They don’t serve beer or have a menu so have an idea of what cocktails you like or be open to their small selection of wine. Overall, I’d definitely recommend for a lowkey hang with friends! So nice to be somewhere without a crowd that has such a cozy atmosphere.
weirdest place i’ve been to in my life…the pride flag outside made it seem like it would be a gay bar? nooo! VERY straight, and NOT for people over 25! cherry on top; i paid $20 for a negroni made with well liquor (which is what got me to leave after being there for maybe 15 minutes). truly the weirdest spot i’ve ever been to!

I'm writing this review after attending Matinee Social Club's (MSC) event at Joyface on Saturday, February 24th, 2024. This was my first time at Joyface and attending the MSC party. I did not get a chance to order a drink or interact with staff, so I can't speak to the menu or service. However, management needs to be made aware of this! Matinee is a ticketed event that is only open to VIPs on a mailing list. In spite of this exclusivity, this event is wildly popular and highly attended. Joyface is a teeny tiny bar on the LES that has a capacity of maaaaybe 150? (Even that seems generous). My friend and I purchased tickets to this event and arrived at 7, 2 hours after the event started. The bar was so packed we could barely enter and had to shove through a wall of people just to get in the door. We were in there for less than a minute before we turned around and left. There was way too many people inside for this to be safe. If there was a fire or an active shooting, everyone would've been absolutely screwed. I couldn't even see where the exits were because of how crowded and dark the place was. I really think this event needs to be better managed. I'm sure this place is cool but it certainly does not have the capacity to be throwing disco ragers like that. Don't waste your money buying a ticket until they upgrade to a larger venue!

Friday night is a blast. The DJ has a wonderful 80/90 taste, his music lasts only the refrain at times, the audience of the bar is made up of 22-23 mostly girls, energy is vibrant, everybody is singing. On down size only: hard to get in.

this is not a queer friendly/safe space. might as well take your pride flag down.

If you want to feel like you are worthless and ruin your evening then come to Joyface. The bouncer goes by the name Z. Him and his bouncer buddies will be sweet to your face but in reality cheery pick people from the line. Just a waste of time. Egalitarianism comes to die here.
Wonderful eclectic gem.
