Stop by for a show recently after having not been in a while and I had a great time. One thing that surprised me as I don’t remember food being on the menu, but to be fair, I mostly visited to get wasted but the food was better than I expected. The chicken sandwich when I tell you, it was delicious, it was delicious. Definitely something you should try!Oh and for the oldies, no open tabs anymore so be prepared to pay per drink.

Gender neutral restroom why not but 3 restrooms for an all club that’s a problem !

Haven't been to this place in years. The bouncers/doormen make it impossible to enjoy! One time I had 3 female friends come from Cali who were supposed to meet me here on a Thursday. They got they before me so I told them go ahead in. When I arrived the bouncer told me I couldn't get in without a female. So I told him I had 3 females from Cali inside. The other bouncer even remember carding them, so he knew I wasn't lying. Yet still wouldn't let me in. One of them even came down to get me, but the bouncer told us we would have to go to the back of the line and wait to get back in again. Smh Needless to say we contacted our friends inside and we all left and spent out money elsewhere.Another time I had a friend come over form London (England), celebrating her bday. She was dancing and stood on one of the little tables. They were signaling her to come down with flashlights, but she thought they were cheering her on. I get her attention and help get down and let her know she cant stand up there. 30 secs later the bouncer (who literally watched me get her down) grabs her and walks her all the way downstairs and kicks her out. She apologized and explained. He heard her accent and everything. Knew she wasn't from the country and didn't know the protocols, but was hellbent on throwing her out. All the doormen/bouncers ruined this place YEARS AGO (pre pandemic), and based on these comments I'm reading, nothing has changed! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE! It's NYC, there PLENTY of other better spots that'll treat you better.

The worst venue in New York City! I tried to reenter the premisis after smoking a cig but the bouncer told me I had to pay the fanum tax and he took my drink from me and drank half of it! Awful unprofessional demeanor from the staff!

I had a horrible time at this place. As a native New Yorker, I have obviously heard horror stories from Pianos, but... yeah this place is not great. I came here to listen to music-- the bouncers pushed me around, and told me that I looked like I took front shots from a girl who listens to Duster. I was deeply humiliated. The night was almost saved by a 10/10 dining experience, however. The french fries were divine! The music was great as well! They were playing my favorite genre, Rock and Roll. After stepping out for a moment, and trying to re-enter, I was told they don't serve my kind. The two men yelled expletives at me until I left. They called me slurs, pushed me around, and told me I had too much to drink. I couldn't really respond to the bouncers' taunts, as I have intense social anxiety, but I don't even drink alcohol! As their hands struck my body, I could sense a great power within these men. I could feel their energy. A dark aura engulfed me. They did not care that I had already paid 15 dollars to watch the bands. It became clear; they are the taskmasters. Heed their orders. They wanted me to be their slave. Fulfill their every desire. I saw how one of them was looking at me--he was licking his lips. I was scared. As I gingerly walked away from them, I could feel their gaze still haunting me. I began sprinting. Eventually, I escaped their radius of terror. Upon reflection, I am thankful that I escaped Pianos with my life.

They said I couldn’t come in with black sweatpants, but allowed a girl with bright green sweatpants to pass in line. Here is video evidence. I’m not sure why the bouncers selectively enforced the “dress code,” but it was extremely weird.

Worst experience ever with rude, aggressive and practically abusive
