WOULDNT GO BACK. FIRST OF ALL LET ME START BY HAVING TO WAIT AN HOUR AND A HALF ON LINE TRYING TO GET IN AS IF THE PRESIDENT WAS IN THERE, SECOND OF ALL THE PLACE WAS OVER CROWDED. I HAVE TO SAY THEY PLAYED GOOD MUSIC ALL NIGHT LONG BUT THE WOMEN UP IN THERE XMELLED SO BAD IVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THAT. THEN WHEN WE GET OUTSIDE AND DUDES TRYING TO HOLLAH AT MY GIRLS AND I THEY ASKED US WHERE WE WERE COMING FROM AND WE TOLD THEM EUGENES THEY WERE LIKE I'LL. I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT BUT I'LL NEVER GO BACK

ELECTRIC AVENUE FRIDAYS / SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE ...EUGENES=THAT SH*T. I've been to Eugene's a total of 4 times and I haven't had a negative experience there. I went through a website to be on the guestlist each time and got in free before 12. The only issueI had on line were some rude partygoers who were starting arguements and pushing. The line is only long AFTER 12. The bouncers have never given me a problem. Coat check was fast and easy. Drinks were a bit pricey, But it's NYC, Thats expected. The DJ kept the hip-hop, r&b and dancehall poppin' all night. People were well dressed. However, there were a lot of women in there with attitudes which I can do without. Some people came dressed to pose for pictures, some came to dance. A lot of people talk about Eugene's like its some low class hood club, Its far from such. I would definitely recommend going before 12am on a Friday or Saturday and leaving your attitude at home. You'll definitely have a great time!

Editorial Review. Upscale restaurant with a seasonal menu serves signature cocktails in a swanky setting.

most demeaning and offensive treatment i've experienced on any continent. alright...to be fair, i never actually made it inside; so it could be decent once you get through the international-airport-style line...but my friends and i, all well-dressed attractive folks and ON THE GUEST LIST mind you, were so unbelievably offended by the way the bouncers handled not only ourselves but the other patrons that we couldn't bring ourselves to go in and instead left for another venue. first we were YELLED AT for stepping a few inches too far to one side of an imaginary line created by the bouncer in the first of the three line-sections required to enter the bar; we then were accused of "ruining HIS night" for not knowing about said imaginary line and being better skilled at the whole line-waiting thing. we get to the second of the three sections and a portion of our group (again, ON the guest list) is held back while the rest pass to the next level, and we are stuck there for 15 minutes while the 3 bouncers huff cigar smoke in our faces and gripe about all the people trying to get into the bar like our very existence is putting them out...time to find alternate employment? finally we progress to the last portion of the line, already deeply offended and soured on the whole experience, and while one bouncer is frisking another customer airport-style (arms spread, etc) a friend who is having her purse and personal items dug through by another employee is told that if she wants to enter the premises she'll have to relinquish her cigarettes, lighter, and pens and pencils also found in the bag. This was the last straw. being condescended and scolded like kindergarteners is one thing, but who wants to be in an establishment where it is assumed that the customers will use their writing utensils as weapons? again, i can't say that it's not a decent place once you're inside, but i for one will never find out because no incentives or apologies could ever persuade me to give another chance to a place that allows its customers to be treated this way.

User review by shebdathustla. I used to promote this venue back in 03' and it was the place to be...the VIP room was serious...all sorts of celebs...the management has always been kinda stuck up...the bartenders are pretty cool and hook you up with the drinks. Fridays are cool but GET THERE EARLY because the line is crazy and you will end up paying $20 or more to get in but it's actually worth it when you get in...There's usually celebs or athletes hosting so that is why it gets so packed out but I guarantee you will enjoy yourself. Now I just coordinate parties and this is one of the venues that I book for my clients.

nothing special. I went there two years ago for my 21st b-day and i had a great time. I went again last weekend and it was horrible. RUDE is the word to describe everyone in this place. Especially the bartender. me and my friends were on a b-day guest list. before we went in i called the promoter through which we got a guest list and confirmed that it will be free for girls and guys before 11. we got in 10:40 and my bf had to pay $20. we were told that reg admission is $35-40. i dont know what they think they are to charge that much. it is not worth it. their 'open bar' was rum only. the line to the coat check was horribly long, it took us about 15 min to check our coats. nothing special, chose a different place...

LOVE it!. I am so surprised to see so many negative reviews here, because I LOVE this place! I always have good time here. The music is great, and there's room to dance or just lounge. But get there early, or be prepared to shell our $20 to get in.

HORRIBLE Place, HORRIBLE Staff. Worst NYC experience of my life. This place is so horrible that I had to sign up to CitySearch JUST to write a bad review. My friends and I went there last weekend for a bachelorette which was already supposed to be set up for us. The bride-to-be got in for FREE but everyone else was charged $25. When we voiced how ridiculous that was, the event coordinator basically told the bride-to-be to leave and take her friends with her because he didn't need our business, and whoever had already paid, even if they stayed for only 5 minutes, won't get their money back. Well guess what buddy, that's the last time this group of 30 would step into your place, and we'll make sure everyone else we know doesn't either. I highly NOT recommend this place if you want to have a good time in NYC.

What a Waste of Time. The staff is rude, the crowd is way too young and the drinks are way over priced. With all of the better options in the area skip this one.
