What People Are Saying About Plan B
The Owner
Plan B
Owner
Plan B is located on 10th street (Ave B) on the North side of Tompkins Square Park. It opened up on Valentines Day of 2004 and has quickly become a favorite in the East Village. The main lounge area has set a stage for groups who come to mingle and dance while the two private rooms host private events, birthdays, and intimate gatherings. Plan B has acheived what it set out to do in becoming a hip scene without the hassle. The philosophy has been great music and staff equals a good time. We're open nightly from 7pm - 4am. Plan B is available for Private Events, birthday parties, and charity benefits.

Large fake plants, zebra-striped banquettes and a lone disco ball twirling in the corner make for a dressing that only slightly spruces up the main dance floor area. Those wanting to relax with a drink head to the white-walled, white padded-leather side room. Singles on the prowl may appreciate the tight surroundings, which quickly force patrons to get up-close and personal in a meat market-like atmosphere. A young, mixed, 20-something crowd grooves to Top 40 tunes on weekends, with sparser crowds during the week. The back hallway with bathrooms next to the DJ booth offer a more tranquil hangout spot, where conversation inevitably draws in the next stranger in line.

Me and a friend looked at the reivews for Plan B and thought we can give it a try. You definitely cannot judge this place by the outside. From the outside, it does not look too small, but it in the inside it was way to small. I don't know if it was too packed or what.. but we had to get out of there! We paid a cover charge and struggled and was pushed through the crowd to check out the back because we always look around. Plan B is the type of place where you order a drink and someone spills it right on you before you can take a sip!! ugh.. what a waste. We went to Solas right around the neighborhood and had a blast. Solas is more roomy since it has 2 floors. I am warning you.. do not go to Plan B if you dont like overcrowded places!

The only reason my friends and I went to Plan B was to see a certain DJ spin. I had heard about how crowded it was, and sure enough, they were true. After a $5 cover + $3 coat check, we had stayed for an hour. We would've left sooner but we wanted to make the best of it and tried to dance, but it was nearly impossible to move anywhere without people bumping into you... and people weren't even dancing anyway. On top of it, it wasn't dark enough; we had moved to the entrance where there was more room, but there isn't a speaker installed there so we couldn't even hear the awesome music being played.

I've been to Plan B twice on Friday nights and both experiences were consistently good. One of Fridays the DJ was amazing and mixed different types of music really well (mainly hip hop with some other cool stuff mixed in). I like Plan B as a low key place to hang out without all the pomp and circumstance of the city. I still like the uppity, cutesy lounges but this place I think is a nice balance and also a great area. Better to get there early since it's not a huge location. I've gotten there at 1 and it was fine, but it's just more ideal to get there earlier.
