Pyramid Club

I try to stop in on Thursday's 80's New Wave night whenever I can. They have great drink prices ($2 and $3 beers and $4 mixed drinks). The last time I was in there I found out that they are starting to kick off local rock, metal and hardcore bands on Wednesday night. Hey it's only $10 cover at the door for a night of hot local bands. You can't beat that. Plus they sometimes book touring bands.

Pros: Great drink prices!!!

We came here on Friday night, Oct. 27th, theme was "gay 80's" which we thought would be fun, but we didn't end up staying for very long. After one glass of red wine, I asked bartender #1 for a second one when he snapped back that they were "all out" at which point, somewhat taken aback, I asked whether they had white wine. At this point he began spewing out obsenities and insults at myself and a couple of my female friends, bringing me back to those glorious years in elementary school, calling us "hideous", "horseface" and similar clever names. Before long, bartender #1 succeeded in getting bartender #2 turned against us, and both decided they would no longer serve any of the 10 or 12 people affiliated with us. When we objected, they let the bouncer know that we were causing trouble, and none of us was surprised when the bouncer took the 2 gentlemen's word over ours and asked us to leave. As it turned out, one of aforementioned bartenders believed himself to be "the manager" of the place, so we decided the only thing left to do was, um, leave. This sort of lashing out has no place in a public establishment. Girls, stay away from this club.

Went late sept '06 on a friday and the cover charge was 8 bucks. The back room is really small but wasn't too crowded on this particular night. Show up early I guess. Oh yeah, bring ear plugs because the sheer volume of the music will most certainly provide you with some painful ear drum damage. It's really dark in there so you won't feel like a total nerd if you do wear them. And make sure you are somewhat fashion conscious before you go because there are a lot of jerks there that have nothing better to do than to make fun of what you wear (but that's nyc anyway). Where I'm from in the midwest if you talk bad about someone in a bar you'd better be ready to fight because you never know who's gonna snap. This isn't true in new york though. It's like middle school all over again. But anyway, go have fun and dance to some great 80s music!

This place is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small. The music is too much like WPLJ's "80's at 8" and also like WPLJ's "Saturday night at the 80's." If I wanted top-40 80's I 'd stay home and listen to that or to my old WLIR/WDRE "Flashback lunch" tapes and to my LIR/DRE English Muffin tapes!! You can't even turn around in this club. There's no room to dance!!!! But the 5 dollar cover charge can't be beat!!!!!

Pros: 5 bux 2 get in

Cons: needs big dance floor, too small, too crowded

You can dance all night and it's air conditioned and not crowded with 80s hipsters! There are all types of people here, a very diverse crowd which is how it should be. No attitude at the door. Just pay your $5 and dance! Forget New York Times write up hipster Luke and Leroys! If you have an article on you in the sunday styles section, how cool can you be.

Pros: dance, dance, dance

I've gone to 1984 (Friday 80s party) a couple times a year for a long, long time. I've found that the music is hit or miss. I've been present when it is on the mark...non stop dancing - tons of fun. But other times, ugh. This last time sucked...the music selection was amatuerish. Who REALLY wants to dance to "Ghostbusters"? There were too many songs that cleared the dance floor... was this a ploy to drive people to the bar?

The Pyramid on Thursdays is consistently the best club for new wave retro dancing since the Bank. What it lacks in size it makes up for in DJs that refuse to compromise the integrity of "retro" by playing milli-vanilli pop. True to the counter culture that spawned new wave, the music ranges from Joy Division to the Buggles. One rooms for dancing, the other for drinking... makes a good mix for those who can't keep up with 4 hours of dancing friends. Wear black when you go and plan to stay there till closing.
