Waited in line just to hear no
Spent 2000 on a table and the staff spills two glasses of champagne and doesn't even offer a refund or extra drinks.
The actual show was 30 minutes tops and not even debaucherous or shocking anymore. Show didn't start til 2 and all they had was a teddy bear doing the same dance for hours to fill the space. The box is no longer what made it special.
We went for the event Never Sleep Alone and it was a total scam. It was advertised as a comedy show thing and that afterwards, the tickets would allow us to stay for the after party. The show was funny, but only lasted about an hour and then they kicked us out because the after party was at a different location! I never would have bought tickets for this if I knew that. And the drinks were bad. The bartender should know how to make a dirty martini at a place where it costs over $25.
Service were not so good, serves were trying to overcharge you. If someone come to you table it is $200 extra

We have booked this place as a rental and been here plenty of times. But today seemed like a power trip. There is no dress code so they need to stop because the guy with the outta shaped tank top was outta control and got in. Security was being rude and for what. The lady with the Afro SIO asked for our reservation left came back and said no. Why make the reservation take credit card info just to not talk to us. They said we were dressed too casual. And i know NY is about fashion so we spent 10k on clothes to come just to be treated like we wasn’t dressed to impress. They did a horrible job tonight they explain what the dress code was and still let a loose hanging tank top in

I'm pretty sure they spiked my drink behind the bar. I was feeling woozy and dizzy. One of the staff tried to lead me behind some curtains. Thankfully I wasn't there alone and my friend grabbed me just in time to leave. When I got home I blacked out. Super creepy
I hate to say this, but this place has changed. It breaks my heart but as a New York native i have spent years coming to the box. I used to walk up and they would say yes or no based on your vibes….there was NO line out the door. Now, you are lined up with all of the out of state people (no hate) and expected to wait for up to an hour to be “considered entry.” I understand that tourism is part of the economy, but I thought that the box was immune to that. Even the shows have become more muted and less extravagant. I wish the management knew that this is the #1 way to lose business in the long run. Keep this place as a sacred home for all true New Yorkers and the people cool enough to be accepted! It is a privilege to be vibe checked by the box, and now it has become a thing of monetary value. If you want tourism…allow people to feel the privilege of being in a higher end place, even if they are just visiting! There is nothing wrong with tourism, but use it to your advantage because you are becoming like every other club…and soon you will go out of business because your primary marketing tactic was your exclusivity, not the fake exclusivity manifesting itself as a line out the door.
