Goodbye (closing weekend)

by abcohen

Ok, this wall to wall people place wasnt filled with the IT crowd -- actually I cant even tell the type of crowd -- but it was fun for me (being 4 or 5 drinks into the night) okie waiting on a line really sucks.. when your told its pack and when people leave people go in.... Guess thats BS as they let more people in with no one leaving... and to pay a cover for this bar isnt that painfull but having a "password" should have worked until anytime not just midnight...

Oh and the music is soooooooo loud if you can get your name across your doing better then I was.... This is a great place if you have a group of friends - but not to meet new people.

• Pros: music
• Cons: , lines (4 no reason)

Hole in the wall with great music...

by punky21

We chose Filter 14 to celebrate a friend's 25th Birthday. We got a password for the party so that we all got in with no cover... very helpful for those with low funds. The bar was pretty much desolate when we got there at 11:30PM but by 2AM the places was jumpin'. The DJ played 80's early on and then Hip Hop once the crowd started rolling in. The old school made the night great for dancing and dancing on the stage was fun.

The crowd is mixed. This place is definitely a hole in the wall... you migh miss it if you walk by too quickly.

• Pros: music, mixed corwd

great saturdays

by LTunney

i had been to filter a lot on saturdays and liked it and just held a birthday party there which worked out great. the day staff was very helpful in giving me and my friends a "password" so we all got in free, and because the place is small, it was better than the big clubs becqause i could always find my friends. the crowd is mostly 25 - 30 year olds, but ranges in type of people from artists to bankers to writers. it is nice that it has real dancing in what feels like a neighborhood bar. boys are remarkably well behaved and generally cute. music on saturdays generally seems to be hip-hop, 80's and some raock and reggae sometimes in the lounge room. the lounge is usually the better room for me, but i danced on the stage in the main room once after too many drinks!

• Pros: dancing, fun crowd, inexpensive
• Cons: crowded occaisionally

Good Times

by charlenejahr

Like a small private club in the middle of the meatpacking district. the place has a raw decor and is sort of like an old-style bar with dancing. I went Saturday and they were playing 80's and Hip-Hop, although I know they play electronic stuff other nights. Carson Daly was there the night I was which was cool. There was no VIP lounge or anything--just everyone hanging together. relaxed vibe early, dancing on the bars late. inexpensive compared to typical lounges, but the low prices show in the weak decor. but good dancing (which is rare these days). definately fun.
