I went on a friday night and had no regrets. I was all prepared to dance the night away and I did. The mix drinks were not great. My motto was proven right again female bartenders slack with making good tasting drinks to other females so I stuck with the male bartender. Boy did he get paid that night.smiling.The ambience was a different setting from the normal clubs I 've been to, variety of cultures attended(good), well dressed male/females. I had no problem with the bouncers, matter of fact there was a cutie there.smiling. Place to go when you want to shake your booty, drink and be tired in the morning.

Pros: ambience, variety of caribbean

Cons: mix drinks

You guys totally saved me for my best friends birthday. I was scrambling last week to find a place to go and when I came across your birthday promotion on the website I was sceptical at first but it was everything you said. Free to get in for the whole party, free bottle of champagne and our own table. I know I kept asking how much is it and what's the catch - sorry for being a pain. When we arrived the door girl found us in line and brought us right past everybody in to our table. Then the champagne came with a big sparkler. The club is awesome. Everyone had a blast. I love you guys!

Pros: Birthday party is the best

Cons: None for me :-)

This place has got to be the hottest spot in the city at this point! We went on a Saturday and they had just finished a show for bachelorettes so the place was packed with ladies. The music was a mix of Hip Hop, Rock, R&B, Top 40 - Good dance music all night. Sound system was perfect and the lights and space are amazing. We ended up getting a bottle so we could have access to the VIP section in the upstairs balcony. Bottle prices wer very reasonable - a bit less than the meatpacking prices, I guess because they are on the Lower East Side. Anyway, a great night out with a great vibe!

Pros: Great music, crowd, service

Cons: A bit crowded on the dance floor

DO NOT GO TO THIS CLUB. IF YOU LIKE WAITING IN THE RAIN FOR AN HOUR TO GET INTO AN EMPTY CLUB THEN BY ALL MEANS GO. THE BOUNCERS WERE RUDE. THE MUSIC WAS HORRIBLE, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME. FOR ALL THE MONEY MY FRIENDS AND I SPENT THERE, SERVICEWAS HORRIBLE. STAY AWAY!

Dear Element just wanted to commend you for the wonderful work you guys do, I've been to other popular bachelorette party destinations in NYC and you guys are by far the best, the club is beautiful, the drinks were strong and well mixed, the staff was very accommodating, courteous, polite and even the manager brought out a sparkling bottle of champagne for us on the house. Although the place was packed to capacity everyone seemed to be having a great time. I brought a group of 15 women to the Hunkamania show last night for my best friend's bachelorette party and you guys made it special for every member of the bride’s family from her grandmother-in-law, to her mother-in-law, and of course the beautiful bride to be. Everyone was so nice from the gentleman who answered the phones before the show, to the dancers, and even the waiters. I just wanted to thank you and I will certainly be recommending other girlfriends to visit Element and plan future events with you guys. We definitely had a better time than the groom and his buddies did on his bachelor party and your show was definitely a lot better than theirs. This is the best one stop bachelorette party and club dancing experience anywhere...If I were a guy I wouldn't even want to go anywhere else cause when the show ended the place was swarmed with gorgeous women. Again, I can’t say thank you enough but I will say thank you by referring you to many many more brides to be and any girls who just want to have a fun girls’ night out. Take care and keep up the good work! Sincerely, Elizabeth H.

Pros: The service, the music, the drinks and the Hunkamania show!

Cons: The long lines

We paid extra in advance to get to the VIP section for my bachelorette party. It turns out everyone is "VIP". Our seats were behind a pole and we couldn't see any of the show! Plus, even though we had paid in advance, they still charged us an extra $20 a person, and we missed a portion of the show arguing with them! Plus, we missed even more of the show because the two groups in front of us had the same issue, and they made everyone behind them on line wait while the issue was resolved!

Pros: The Hunk-A-Mania show is really funny and great for Bachelorette Parties

Cons: Fake VIP Section, horrible managers, terrible line (they don't care how much of the show you miss!)

This place is AWFUL! The people at the door are so rude that it was shocking. I have lived in NYC for 7 years and as a woman, have not received such rude treatment, not even at some of the more exclusive clubs in meatpacking! I also think the $25 cover is very steep. It was pretty late (around 2am) when my 2 friends and I arrived, yet they insisted that we still had to pay the cover even though we were not going to stay that long. As we were deciding what we were going to do, one of the bouncers told us we could not stand there and told us to go out in the rain to figure things out (even though there was no one in the entrance and we were not blocking anyone). SO RUDE!!

I had my birthday party here this past weekend and my head is still spinning. The dj's and music is AMAZING!They totally hooked me up. My friends and I had our own little room right next to the dance floor with a velvet rope, free cd's and chocolates. The carpet guy is a freak!!! Realized he was real when he smiled at me once I started walking on his crotch in 4 inch stilettos. Definately a night to remember. To bad the party's only once a month. Can't wait to go there again though.

Pros: music and dancing

I have been to most of the clubs in the city and I am still stunned every time I go back to element. It's so tastefully done and it's one of the few places that still has that big dance floor feeling. It seems like most of the nights are themed in some way which is good for me because I like all kinds of music but you might want to check the website to see what's going on before you go. I've been to a bunch of good parties there - everything from reggea to house to hip hop and rock.

Pros: Beautiful space, really good staff

I celebrated my birthday here in mid-December with over 20 friends, and we had an amazing time. The staff was very friendly, and they really took care of us. As I was planning my party beforehand, they emailed me clear-cut information that made everything run all the smoother. The security check at the entrance was pretty intense but that was definitely a very good thing. Lots of dance space on the main floor; the basement dance floor was a great intimate alternative. But Element seems to host a lot of themed events, so you’ll definitely want to coordinate your event with their calendar – just to avoid unexpected surprises (in music, crowd, dress, etc.). All in all, it was a great place to have a party. Thanks for an awesome time!

Pros: Service +++
