205 is such a good time! I went their for the first time recently and had a blast. Despite the other reviews the doormen were totally cool and fine- we didn't have any problems with them at all. The downstairs is the best- music is amazing and the crowd is great. If you want to dance and are sick of the snooty NYC clubs, this is the spot to go!
Pros: Great Music Great Crowd
Cons: nothing

I love this place, I get wated, dance, get more wasted & get to meet those hot girls you see walking down the street in the summertime in Manhattan. Love the decor & I'm glad to see these spots popping up in the neighborhood!! DK

Call me jaded but there is nothing new here. Maybe for the younger kids, but I'm one of those. I used to go to the former 6's and 8's and the upstairs has changed for the worse I think. I understand the minimalism but I just don't buy it. The in house dj wasn't bad though. I wouldn't go if I had to wait in some line. Otherwise, hop in.
Pros: I saw some old New York people that I haven't seen in awhile
Cons: They pretty much allow smoking where ever there.

I was at the Monday night karaoke party the other night at 205. It was by far the best, and friendliest party I've been to in a very long time. Strangers were dancing together, Rosie Perez sang a cute 1980's funk song, and everyone had the an amazing time. I found my new Monday night venue!! There was no cocktail service, but the bar was pretty attentive. At one point they seemed a little overwhelmed, but otherwise I got my beer under 5 minutes..The space is cutely done, reminiscent of The Factory - but it can get a little cramped at times. Update: I've gone back 7 or 8 times since I posted the above review -and the last time with a crew who used to go to the original Factory - and everyone loved it. More celebrities were spotted (Sam Rockwell, Cisco Adler, Sienna Miller )and the best part - NO one acted like they were any different than normal NY'ers and no one treated them any differently, either. They had to wait for a beer just like anyone else- what a great, old new york vibe! I've seen a lot of crappy reviews about this place, but judging from the reviews of other places these people have visited, they feel more at home at Lotus or PM, or one of the cheesy B&T venues.... 205 is good - down, get-dirty old skool NYC.
Pros: cute crowd, friendly atmosphere
Cons: a little cramped, wet floor in many spots
