Greet the butler, step inside the foyer, sashay past the 20-foot fireplace and be transported back in time to a 1930s Hollywood mansion. The theme is completed with massive crystal chandeliers, Oriental rugs and glass-walled stairs. Upstairs, banquettes with built-in champagne buckets and cushions covered in Pucci fabric overlook throngs of dancing clubgoers getting down to house music on the massive main dance floor or hip-hop in the outer rooms. No mansion would be complete without a billiard table, and this is no exception, though the revelers standing behind the cue ball are more "Night at…

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
There's a $50 minimum to pay with a credit card.
The Extras:
Tables can be reserved in advance, and range from $200 to $2,000 depending on the size of the party.
Fun Fact:
While this is Mark Baker (Lotus) and Opium Group's Eric Milon's outpost of their Miami club, the vibe is all Vegas. And the space--which has a legal capacity for 2,120 guests--was formerly home to Crobar.
Look Good:
Who needs men? Try Mansion's private Cougar Room, a space reserved exclusively for women that features on-site makeup artists, hair stylists, a bevy of sex toys and its own bar.
ambiance
93.75% positive
  1. really like the decor.
  2. Crobar was fun, Studio was horrible, and Mansion is def a step up I've been partying in the city for more then 6 years and Mansion is def on top of the list of my favorite clubs very good looking crowd and staff.
  3. If you want to have fun in a great club you should visit mansion.
  4. For a place with such nice decor you would think they wouldn't let girls in wearing a baggy white t-shirt and jeans.
drinks
25.0% positive
  1. Other issues with the venue included serious overcrowded, rude staff, and selfish bartenders who refused to serve you during open bar unless you gave them a $20+ tip.
  2. The first time I thought it was a fluke - a famous DJ was playing and we had to pay a $60 cover charge for crappy house music and I got three drinks spilled on me by drunk people.
  3. Fighting to get to their ONE bar was ridiculous.
  4. it was overcrowded, misleading "open bar", rude employees, and a bunch of fights broke out also.
service

  1. But Mansion, come on, you should be worried about your reputation and how awful this night was and how many people are going to have bad thoughts about your club because of a night that you had nothing to do with.
  2. The first time I thought it was a fluke - a famous DJ was playing and we had to pay a $60 cover charge for crappy house music and I got three drinks spilled on me by drunk people.
  3. This place had to be in gross violation of the fire code, there were no good guys (agree my single girls), and this was the worst service and music I've ever had.
  4. Other issues with the venue included serious overcrowded, rude staff, and selfish bartenders who refused to serve you during open bar unless you gave them a $20+ tip.
  5. The door staff is a bit too snooty we were on a guestlist and after saying the name the door person said he has no clue who that is and after we asked him to make sure he said " I don't know who that is and if you want to come I can give a reduced ticket"
  6. Crobar was fun, Studio was horrible, and Mansion is def a step up I've been partying in the city for more then 6 years and Mansion is def on top of the list of my favorite clubs very good looking crowd and staff.
  7. it was overcrowded, misleading "open bar", rude employees, and a bunch of fights broke out also.
  8. The bouncer (the dominican one with the beard) and people at the door are realllly nice.
  9. but I would probably NEVER EVER go here again, and NEVER EVER recommend it to ANYONE because of the AWFUL service we had!
  10. The people who worked there were rude and not helpful.
  11. Beautiful space, beautiful people and great music
value

  2. One of my friends almost got punched during a random fight and someone else threw ice that resulted in a huge bump on my forehead while I was innocently dancing.

The best promoters in NYC!!

by jclarke95

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Vero & Marion at Event Premiere, Inc. for organising some top nights out at Pink Elephant, Mansion (M2) and Marquee.

Having recently moved to Manhattan from London, I was keen to check out the club scene. I contacted Vero and she went to a lot of trouble to ensure my party had fun and that there was no hassle at the door.

Whether you are going out in a small or large group, and whether you require guestlist admission or bottles/table service, they will take care of you.

Thanks again for everything. My friends and I look forward to many more excellent nights.

If you want to try some of the most exclusive clubs in Manhattan, give Vero a call or text on 917 569 0979.

  • Pros: Excellent music, good looking people, nice vibe. I love it!
  • Cons: Pricey drinks.

Don't wait in line at Mansion anymore

by myween

Mansion is a great club with a very tough door policy... if you don't get in with a promoter, you will have to pay the 25 dollars cover charge.

If you meet Marion and Vero at 12 sharp you can avoid to pay the cover . They will walk you in no cover by the small door (on the right side). You can text Marion at 917 557 5787 to rsvp.

NYE was bad business and they didn't care cause they got their money $$$$$

by NorCal2NYC

I also went to Mansion on New Years Eve and it was awful. It didn't dawn on me until after I bought my ticket online that ANYONE could buy a ticket which meant that the normal crowd would not be there. Getting in was fast. Cost check was crowded but went pretty fast too. Once you got through the tunnel to get to the dance floor you couldn't move. The bar was 6 deep. So, much for open bar when you can't even get to the bar. All of the bartenders kept asking everyone, "you're going tip me right? you're gonna give me a big tip." It's open bar, just serve the drinks and do your job. Other areas, like the smaller bar down stairs was blocked of because you need a special ticket to get in there. It was sooooo packed. I'm talking fire hazard packed. If FDNY came by it would have got shut down. There was a guy that was bothering me all night, trying to get me to dance, grabing my arm, etc. and the bouncers did nothing. I saw 2 people throwing up on the dance floor! Is this a frat party or a Club in NYC? And the bouncers gave them buckets to do it in. How about you kick them out if they can't handle their liquor?! The night was a mess and it was obvious that the staff didn't care because they already got their money from our pre-paid tickets. I also found out from a bouncer that the owners of Mansion sold the night to a promotions company and it was the promotions company that over sold the tickets to anyone and everyone. So, don't judge Mansion by this night. But Mansion, come on, you should be worried about your reputation and how awful this night was and how many people are going to have bad thoughts about your club because of a night that you had nothing to do with. Mansion, if you want to stay relevent, you need to step it up.

  • Pros: Line at door and bathroom were fast.
  • Cons: Bartenders that were full of themselves. Careless bouncers
