Went here for a Caribbean style party with 3 other people. Nice tropical vibes with lots of plants and flowers. It was a daytime event with great DJ and very crowded. Most attendees were younger than my adult children. (This is the case in most places these days.) We still had a nice time moving in spot to the grooves. Everyone seemed to be having a great time. Drinks were pricey but that’s expected. Stayed for about an hour then headed downstairs and chilled in a lounge area with A/C to cool off before heading to our next stop.

Played an acoustic show here on a Tuesday night in 2009. The place was empty so we played to just the bartender haha but it still had super cool vibes. 5 stars because I’m sure it’s a cool place when it’s busy too!

This place was amazing. 3 levels of music, and you can sit on the Rooftop before the reservations roll in with no hastle at all.The waitresses were so kind and let us chill out until the music came on, and we even got free promotion tacos! Great service and amazing atmosphere.

Been here twice for birthdays where we rented the rooftop. Service was great and friendly. They were good about kicking out strangers at our tables.Music is house / disco. Not sure how downstairs is, but the rooftop is more lounge vibes and ppl don’t really dance / music isn’t lit enough for it

Second floor was great for us, music was cool, security was everywhere, bathroom area was treated by several people on the go. Drinks were good. The only thumbs down that we were told about dress code in place while after certain hour they started to let everybody in, includin in baggy clothes, sneakers and etc. attire that i was told is not acceptable. Its not that I care much, its just why tell me that over whatsapp if the establishment doesnt follow these rules.

A nice 2 story place. The upstairs kind of gives me a nice club house kind of feel. It has a lot of space and is great for an event. It has full liquor on both floors and lot of options for the venue you can customize for an event.

Pretty nice place to start the party. Nice little rooftop area to get some drinks and dance but the music and party vibe was so much better downstairs, mostly because of the music. They should switch it up so the cool music is upstairs and the lame teen girl pop music is downstairs.

Good spot depending on the night. Safera nights on Fridays are good but extremely crowded and they let way too many people in. If you dont mind drunk college kids and a bunch of guys standing in the way doing nothing trying to talk to girls have at it.Basement is house party vibes.Main floor is 90s & 2000s music.The highlight of the delancy is the rooftop where I go a lot to house, EDM music plus more mature people are upstairs and easier to get a drink from the bartenders.Security is on point there on all floors.

Had a great time at The Delancey! It was crowded at the second floor and quiet in the basement, but the energy was amazing. Prices were average, and it’s a perfect spot if youre looking to party with friends. Would definitely recommend!

Be careful bc they put a gratuity fee on drinks without telling you and then ask for another tip. I paid almost $10 more for a $20 drink lol…

Spent my birthday here last year, and it was so much fun that my boyfriend had his here as well!We got the vip room with out own bartender. My birthday we did cash bar where my guests paid for their own drinks for the night, and my boyfriend did bottle service with sparklers and the whole shabang.So so so much fun. Everyone was so nice and attentive. Super nice place and very reasonable minimums. Also lost a jacket, and was able to come back and get it from their lost and found the next day.

Great club. Great mix of rock and electronic music down there and some great indie rock. Friendly people, passionate youth. A very pleasant time. Great find. I really liked the concert venue, especially for lovers of good rock. The bar has a good selection of beer and drinks, snacks, hamburgers. I really liked it, I will definitely come again!

Came here with my long term partner who loves a vodka-based mixed drink. No cover for us before midnight, great energy within the club, multiple dance floors with a rooftop too. Rooftop was a bit more quiet with most of the dancing going on on the ground floor. We got a few beers, vodka redbulls, and cosmos. Nice time!

Review 24 (2017-02-09 - Rating: 4)
Such a cute location with lovely decor.. Awesome staff and security..my only complaint is how small the space is, and they still allow people to pack in..Manhattan is already crowded, going to an indoor establishment shouldnt be the same exact way/experience.. Other then that small detail, this place is nice for networking & drinks!

Just had a birthday party on the rooftop of The Delancey. Ive been in NYC almost a decade now and this is now my favorite venue for a party. From the very beginning of our correspondence they were responsive, organized and very courteous. Even during the event today they were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure the seating arrangement would work out for my party. Highly recommend this venue and so grateful for them with helping create an unforgettable atmosphere and ambience for my birthday.

Went here for some spoken word poetry and stayed for all of the talent they had coming on stage. Drinks were about $20 each so can be pricey, but the bartender knew how to make a cocktail. The place is beautiful and they have 3 different floors. We didn’t eat any food.

I love that it has three separate floors (downstairs, main, rooftop) meaning 3 different djs. if you get tired of one of them you could simply go upstairs or downstairs and try out the others. theres no cover charge which is always a plus

Review 48 (2022-11-08 - Rating: 5)
Love it, prob one of the best clubs around. No cover charge and they don’t do any bull💩 at the door. You get in quick and staff is very friendly. They have a basement with Latin music, first floor with more American music and rooftop with the same American music but just a lot lower volume. It’s perfect to talk to pretty girls. Drinks are 15 each. And bar service is always fast. I recommend coming if your going on vacation

I spent my Saturday night here. Arrived around 1am. When I got there plenty of people were on the dance floor. I enjoyed my experience. The staff was pleasant.. the coat checker was cheerful (it was only $3)... the bartenders were perky and sweet.... and the bouncers made you feel safe and secure. (If youre a minority be prepared to be surrounded by white people lol) Its a good time. Check it out.

Review 55 (2020-01-16 - Rating: 4)
The best part is the rooftop, it has a very earthy feeling, almost feels like your in a forest. Coming here on a Saturday night it gets really packed so being able to go upstairs to the rooftop to get a breath of fresh air was really nice. The place is a really nice place to come to and unwind, not necessarily have to be a party location. The only reason why I have it 4 stars and not 5, is because I didnt enjoy the DJ too much. Overall he played music you can enjoy, but there were times where his choice of music was just bad, and the transition between songs was very choppy.

Review 56 (2024-11-23 - Rating: 4)
Great place yes . Music hmmm depends who is the DJ. Drinks ( delicious and strong ) . Staff amazing . Only downside * ( spoiler ) do management realize that the basement has no air conditioner no ventilation . As soon as you pay cover charge and go downstairs you feel you walking into a sauna . I see all air conditioners off. 2 fans by the DJ booth and thats what you get. Sometimes a bouncer ( security ) will open the side door for air to flow but is so bad that you dont even wanna drink anymore you just want to run out of there. So I have an idea only for the basement lets change the dress code to swimsuits. That way everyone is happy. Cause all I see is people asking for water at the bar. Oh security is amazing I dont know how the surveillance in there ( basement ) but is something happens (any altercations) security arrives faster than NYPD . Safe place just wear something very light so you can dance the night away. Cause is not hot is a sauna .By the way halloween nights are amazing !

This club lounge is a must bust whenever anyone visits the NYC Music and the atmosphere is amazing on the very first floor is a bar lounge second floor is for 60’s 70’s and 80’s Music lovers then the very top floor is your more young adult hip hop vibe

Review 63 (2023-03-18 - Rating: 4)
Large, two-story bar that works well for a late-ish night, large group meet up spot that trades the aesthetics/boujee drinks usual NYC bars can have with not having to wait in a ridiculous line/buying a table. $12 a drink. 4/5 stars as a night spot.

It was lit! Great music! I love that they have 3 floors AND a rooftop! The basement also has its own vibe and music.Free entry for men and women (friday). Drinks are expensive though lol not surprising. Staff is prompt and courteous. And despite being packed, they have someone who is alert and cleaning up spills and empty glasses/bottles.The only reason they got 4 and not 5 stars is because the basement is waaaaay too hot to fully enjoy. It feels like youre suffocating down there. A few ceiling fans or some strong ac in the basement and this place would easily be a 5/5

Review 66 (2021-05-15 - Rating: 5)
The place was amazing and the 3 levels is a plus. The DJ was on point, the people were amazing the staff were tentative. I was in the rooftop. it was a very diverse crowd the ambiance was intimate. I love the indoor outdoorsy feel it gave off with the decor and the plants.

I usually dont review clubs, but we were in the area to check out a neighboring bar and we happened to discover this spot. Were glad we did.The music was great! DJ seemed to have played all the best hip hop of New York artists. They had a rooftop as well, but it was overly crowded, so we just hung out at the downstairs part.No cover that night. Would return!

Review 71 (2019-03-12 - Rating: 4)
Didnt see the lower area, but the ground floor is really nice and the roof has a super cool greenhouse kinda vibe. I love how much space there is to sit and chat, not too loud to hear your friends but loud enough to not hear your neighbors. My only suggestion for improvement would be the bar, its not really big enough for people to sit at, but its long enough for everyone to think theyre first in line for a drink. It would be better to have a designated line for people getting drinks and then moving away from the bar.

One of my favorite bars in the city for live music. This bar is one that bands from far and wide aspire to list on their musical resume. I have discovered some really great acts here as well as attended some amazing after show parties on the top floor,

This venue is really cool! You certainly cannot get bored with the three storey venue in the heart of the buzzing Lower East Side.Here we go and watching bands in the basement, dancing on the first floor to some genius and some not so ..... DJ mixes, hanging out on the beautiful roof garden ( the interior is created by palm trees bamboo furniture & super comfortable sofas).

I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :)Drinks: Great.Space: This is a multi-level club/music venue. It has a very open and intimate floor layout on each level. The basement features live music performances, the main floor is the dance club, and the roof top is the lounge and an oasis. The dance floor gets really crowded, people get really drunk and bouncers are posted on the dance floor.Crowd: 20-30s Pick-up scene. Single scene.Service: Good.

Dont go to this place for food. Thats not really what its for. This is a place to hang out, meet people, drink and pretend to sway to incredibly loud music that you can still barely hear over the sound of the crowd. That said, the pizza and the turkey club panini are surprisingly good and inexpensive for a place that shouldnt really have food anyway.

Review 93 (2020-08-23 - Rating: 5)
Let me tell you a little something about the delancey. This place is a stand up place service-wise. I had a friend celebrating her 25th bday who got a little too drunk. Any other place would have booted us out and left us for dead. The staff here gave us access to a secondary stairscase to leave covertlyand was attentive and helpful till the minute our uber arrived. The security the management the staff all deserve an award for his nice and considerate they were when they didnt even have to be. Additionally their staff has always been attentive and helpful and sweet when to comes to my past experience ordering drinks and being served there. Long story short I just wanted it known that they won me over today and I will never forget that. I will suggest this place to all my friends going forward. Thank you for your help.

Very fun spot to go to. Downstairs is like a club with great music. The DJ (James... Right?) Was amazing! He seamlessly mixed hip hop and dance and took requests. It was awesome. It is very high energy downstairs and lots of people milling around everywhere but everyone is really considerate.I love loved the rooftop and spent most time there. There is reserved seating and it is airy and a bit tropical yet chic. The music was Latin mostly and people were talking and also dancing (but not intensely like downstairs). It is like two different spots. The bartenders upstairs were the best ever. My bartender had long black hair and grey eyes. She was so kind and funny and amazingly fast! I love love love the rooftop.The best thing is that you can have two different experiences in the same space so there is something for everyone. I also appreciated the great bouncers who made me feel extremely safe. Nothing ever happened but their calm attentiveness was impressive. I was really impressed with how this place was run and the staff are professional and amazing. I definitely recommend visiting.
