Girls night at this spot did not disappoint! The atmosphere was electric, with a fantastic music selection that had me dancing all night long. The drinks were good but $$. The hookah service was a nice touch, but definitely have patience to receive your drinks and serviceOverall, I would definitely recommend if youre looking for a fun night out with great drinks and a lively atmosphere.Tip: bring CASH to pay for hookah and coat check. They have an ATM if you are unable to pull out cash before going.

I remember when this place was uptown social. That place was cool but I died a couple times there. El Jefe is more classy and has a great ambiance. The DJs are top notch and so is the service.

Came Friday night just before midnight. Wasnt expecting a $20 cover charge but the bouncer up front was nice enough to let me see inside before I paid. Huge crowd, great music, great atmosphere and great service.My only concern was I ordered a Jim bean neat and it was without a doubt not a Jim bean. Moved to makers mark which definitely was makers so not sure if maybe she grabbed the wrong bottle the first time but I made sure to watch for my remaining drinks.Besides that, intend to be back in the future when Im in the mood for dancing again.

Had fun ...security is tight and the ambience is cool...a bit pricey but besides that all was favorable

Large space, big crowds, great bartenders, and amazing music. Probably *the* spot in the area. Even on Sunday nights theres a party there.

El Jefe is a nice spot, theyre located right off of Dyckman Street in Upper Manhattan. The staff are kind, they took great care of our group (a bunch of us got together here for a friends birthday). The cocktails are delicious & the food is pretty good, too!

My favorite go to bar, here everyone seems to have an understanding that we are here to drink and have fun. Not look for a man to sleep with. Its literally all friendly . The hostess are always super sweet. And the lady at the bathroom does not play around. She makes sure you feel safe going in the bathroom and coming out .

I love El Jefe, The Food is amazing! The Drinks are made very well, not watered down like other places. Staff every time I have been there all the girls are nice, Jaida is the best, always quick and very attentive. As far as waiting in line, it has happened to me a few times, it sometimes super packed in there. If you have not tired it, awesome new gem in dyckman!

Great place with good music to have a good time

I visited with three other guys from the tri state area about an hour and 30 mins from Manhattan. I was impressed once inside. The atmosphere was innovative with the glowing blue eminating from the several large screens on the wall. The dj was on time delivering cuts that kept the floor alive. I met wonderful ladies the first night we exchanged snap usernames and I did get one phone number. The staff was respectful and helpful toward me. People were really friendly. Hard to find clubs with an atmosphere like this these days.

To enter the place they search you, there is a lot of security, they dont let you in even with pepper spray, it is a sports place, they play different music, good atmosphere, I recommend the quesadillas 100%, I loved them, they are big too. Very friendly staff.
