Really sick venue, small and intimate but the “security” guy on duty was extremely aggressive and nearly assaulted several patrons, whoever he is shouldn’t be employed…by anyone. If I were the owner I’d look into his actions and penalize him or fire him because he didn’t make anyone feel secure.

I had a terrible experience here. While I was in the restroom for just a few minutes, the staff member on duty started banging loudly on the door. When I stepped out, she spoke to me in an extremely rude and hostile way. My friend, who was just waiting for me so we could grab drinks, was also told to leave. She even accused me of things I absolutely wasn’t doing, which felt completely out of line. The whole situation was embarrassing and unprofessional. I’ve never been treated like that at any place before, and I won’t be coming back.

Had two tickets to a party here, but the sets had sadly all wrapped by the time I made it to the venue.
Took me over an hour to get there, due to a subway flooding, so I thought I’d have one drink while re-grouping.
However the bartender at the street level bar was a total creep. I literally stood at the near empty bar for 10 minutes, as he ignored me and stared into space, refusing to look at me, speak to me or take a drink order. He did randomly give me a water I didn’t ask for. I don’t know if he thought I was drunk or what— but if that’s the case— BOWERY ELECTRIC, please hire a new bartender. I hadn’t had so much as a beer in a good 5 days, and was really just trying to de-stress from the journey, while texting my friends to see where everyone ended up. Anyway, probably will never come back here short of the downstars.

The bartender made possibly the worse New York sour I ever had, when I asked for it he had no idea of what it was. Unsurprisingly, the drink tasted bad, and after I returned it and told him, I asked for two Red stripe beers instead, he had the nerve to charge me again after charging me 40$ for two drinks that were bad. Dont get a cocktail here. This is a dive bar, wearing a cocktail bar costume. They should have more knowledgeable people behind the bar.

The bands were great & the drinks were flowing. Always a good experience at bowery electric.
First time but not my last. WHAT A VIBE! Sex After Thirty brought so much energy and seductive grooves.

my friends and i stopped here after work/school for a drink. it’s a nice place, but my friends and i were told by the bartender, matt, it wasn’t a place for people our age (we’re all 21/22) because we asked for lemon drop martinis and green shots cause that’s an “immature drink”. we stayed and hung out for a while and were the only ones there until closer to midnight when we were starting to head out. we ordered a few shots before leaving and matt told us “i’ll get them for you but please don’t give me a hard time. i want to close up and leave”. again, there were still people at the bar and we were about to leave anyway. i told him there was no need to be rude and he could’ve said whatever it was he meant in a more respectful way. he then apologized for offending us and making us emotional. it was honestly just a disappointing end to what was a good night with my girls. we will definitely avoid this spot, i guess maybe until we’re older? idk but we definitely didn’t feel very welcomed here

Lol well I was having an amazing time (I came through for a DJ I know) but then the owner ( he was small, white and rude) quite literally PUSHED me down the stairs from the DJ booth. I was up by the DJ area recording my friend and instead of him saying “excuse me” or anything close to that he barreled through me without saying a word. I was wearing heels so it completely knocked me off balance. Honestly I wish it would’ve so then I could sue this place but I was able to save myself by catching the railing last minute. After he ran into me I looked at him confused to see if it was a mistake but it wasn’t. He proceeded to say “there’s too many people up here”… okay? So let us know that in a friendly way (there were TWO other girls up there besides me). I then watched him walk around the room and be rude to his staff. So I’m leaving 1 star because of him only. The bartenders, the security, and the DJs were AMAZING. This was my first time in the space and I had high hopes. The man who I’m talking about not only ruined my experience but made me not want to come back. Just a miserable person taking his personal stuff out on other people. Side note I work in hospitality (am a bartender) so I’ve dealt with these kind of bosses before. Smh he needs to fix his attitude and quick because the rest of the venue was amazing and showed me an incredible time!
Great place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
