What People Are Saying About Cielo

Velvet rope? "Barbed wire" might be a more apt description. After sufficient grilling from the requisite outlandish bouncers, a narrow hallway illuminated by a single blue light leads into a sceney New York moment. With a maximum capacity of just 250, former Pacha DJ Nicolas Matar's club is both cozy and conducive to some serious grooving, even if its bar and doorstaff are not. The small space's ski chalet-meets-beach surf style--with warmly lit walls resembling insulating "logs," and the pool-blue, sunken dance floor as inviting as a mid-summer dip--caters to those seeking a rarefied atmosphere. Rest assured that the music will be high-energy, the champagne perfectly chilled, and the ladies (and gentlemen) gorgeous.

I had come to Cielo 3 years ago and have a good time with my then boyfriend. now that i'm single and my girls and i like to party in the meat packing district, we decided to give Cielo a try again. Thank God we did. That hot boy at the door is a breath of fresh air in regards to the asses around town. i'd heard he was tough and remember him from the last time but he was so sweet to us (although we had to pay). ): the dj was pretty good, think his name was Ted paterson but the sound was insane. i dont remember leaving but that's a good thing sometimes. i'll definately be back to cielo . do they own any other places in the city?

We were one of the first people there. Dressed to the nines. Conceited doorman still insisted we purchase bottle service. There was nobody there and the music sucked!! I have been to dance clubs all over the country and all over the world and I would rate this the WORST club ever!!!! C'mon, this is no Studio 54! Get over yourselves! ANY place in NYC is better than this club! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!! This place will be out of business in less than a year!!

whoever is writing these disgusting emails bashing CIELO should be ashamed of yourself. Nicolas Matar is a genius and the staff he hired has been the same since the day they opened the door. maybe all of you angry haters should behave like gentleman and ladies when trying to gain entry instead of name-dropping and barking commands to the door people. also, try dressing up one in a while and leaving your 4 buddies at home. come on people, get with the times. Yes, Cielo might be difficult to get in on some nights but with the right attitude and just being a pleasant human being, you might actually get to hear the wonderful sounds that come from those speakers for once. CIELO, please continue to do what you do and forget what these idiots say. hey weren't the ones who made you what you are and they'll be the first to go to the next wannabe Cielo when it opens. LOVE LIVE NICOLAS AND CIELO!!!!!

Know Before You Go:

With only nine banquettes, you won't find any spare nooks to store your layers. Coat check is a must.
