Guaranteed a good time!

by adanielle at Citysearch

I go to Tenjune quite frequently and no matter what it never has managed to let me down. Great place to start the night. The crowd is attractive, classy, and I always have a fantastic time. The DJ is great, he mixes old and new stuff together, things get progressively crazier as the evening gets later... always manage to spot celebs there. Definitely one of the best clubs around. Enjoy!

• Pros: always a good time
• Cons: none

It's okay

by RileyM at Citysearch

I had an okay time at Tenjune. The music was not great, everything I've heard before and some pretty bad songs from back in the day. People were pretty, but they didn't seem like very much fun. The crowd outside was way to drunk and annoying. Inside there were a lot of business men. The crowd is getting weirder and weirder. It's overrated and outdated.

Doorman Alex Deserves to be on the reality show Tool Academy

by PublishingGuru at Citysearch

I have partied here almost a half a dozen times. Mainly because my g/f and her friends like it.

A couple of times I have seen the ego of Alex but always got my group in.

I will agree with all the reviews the guy at the door Alex acts like a real douche most of the time. Ignores people, sets ridiculous bottle minimums. Totally Unecessary!!!

The last time I went, a group of 8 just in front of me was told they had a $4,000 bottle service minimum?!?!?!

People want to go out and have fun, if there is a certain image a place is trying to achieve then be selective how the people entering look or select a target age group etc...

An average night out for a group of 8 should be around $1,000 - $1,500.. haha not $4,000!

Seriously! I have been to much better lounges with heavier celebrity presence that arent that out of touch.

• Pros: Great Location - Nice Decor - Decent Crowd
• Cons: The Way its Managed! Alex the doorman!

Go somewhere else!

by H2theZ at Citysearch

For starters the doorman is just plain old rude.

For those who said he's a nice person, perhaps it's bc you know him outside of his "doorman" role. There was a group of 10 of us (all NYC girls) and 1 friend got turned down. That's just awful.

We then had a bouncer right by our table who kept shoving something up his nose...that of course made our table location extra special and completely uncomfortable.

To top our night off after 3 bottles of Belvedere and repeatedly being asked to dance closer to our table the waitress then tried to get my drunk friend to give her a larger tip after the tip included already came out to $300.

Talk about low class. This place went from an nyc hot spot to a total rip off where apprently tools only hang out.

• Pros: music
• Cons: mostly everything else

He's actually a nice person..

by brunette1 at Citysearch

I've never had a problem w/ Alex, and neither have my friends, including guys. I know him personally to a certain extent and he's actually a nice person. Like someone previously stated, it's not his venue- he's only doing his Job, which includes a memo from the owners on what kinds of people get in... If anything, he's been more lenient these past few winter months as I've seen not-so-pretty or skinny girls slip by... But once the weather warms up and people come out of hibernation, I hope the doors get tighter. ; )

• Pros: Mostly everything.
• Cons: Bad cell phone reception; pretty much lose all bars past coat check.

Loser doorman Alex, even bigger loser owner Mark

by citygurl09 at Citysearch

Went there last weekend with some gf's and wow , this place is so done. Sure it was good a year ago but the only people trickling into this place now are D listers if there were such a thing. One of the owners or some pathetic loser claiming to be an owner said his name was Mark, tried desperately to pick us up. He worked at one of my girlfriends at first and after she turned him down tried the same thing on me. It was pathetic and desperate. We wont bet back.

• Cons: Tenjune.

Boring

by What2Know at Citysearch

Me and my friends used to be up in Tenjune every weekend for three months about a year ago. We were all between the ages of 17 and 19. Maybe one or two 20 year olds. But yeah for the most part all in high school. I'm a dude by the way so you don't get it twisted and think I'm some hot girl that was just getting in. But basically some kid I know had a table there every weekend and we'd just go. That's not to say is was always easy. That ridiculous doorman, I think his name is Alex or something, was such a pain. One time I showed up late and my friends came up to tell him. He said no and was acting like the clown that he is. Anyways, four of my friends went into the smoking area and talked to me. We pushed the barrier forward slowly as we talked. Then, when I was sure none of the bouncers were looking I slipped into the smoking area, finished my cigarette, and went in. It's totally easy. Obviously not the most classy style but if you really want in sometimes you gotta keep it real. Ultimately inside was boring. I only ever went there cause that kid had a table and it was easy (usually). Hot girls. But trashy hot. Perfect for the guys in there. Mostly the terrible banker types that all were a variation of the same outfit. Leather shoes or loafers, designer bootcut jeans, and a tucked in fresh pressed button down. Here and there you see the typical skeezy promoter type wearing a corny fedora. I'm somewhat of a hipster so I looked out of place in my trashed Vans, skinny jeans, and hoodie or t-shirt. But I loved looking out of place for those god awful people in there. So corny and played out. Same with the whole area. I've since moved on to the whole divebar/hipster scene which I find corny too. But if you're in need of a breath of fresh air from Tenjune and the Meat Packing district then try your luck at Beatrice. It's gotten old and corny for me but I had fun times there at one point.

• Pros: It used to be a hard door so we felt cool being 17 and inside while 35 rish bankers got the axe
• Cons: Everything... it's just boring corny music, trashy crowd, ridiculously priced drinks, and horrible door

Great time, Great crowd, RESERVATIONS RECCOMMENDED

by dpconway at Citysearch

I went to tenjune for my girlfriends birthday. I made a reservation for my party and when I got there, there seemed to be no problem. The door guy was nice and we all walked right in. When we got inside I was amazed at how nice this club is. The seating at the table wasnt very big but it served as a home base for my party. The music was good, a mix of rock, top 40 and hip hop. I was surprised to see a mixture of ppl all ages there, yet it was saturday night . All in all my experience was good, the waitress I had was on point and security was helpful. I would def go back

• Pros: great amostphere, good looking crowd, great staff, awesome energy and music
• Cons: crowded, long line
