I enjoy visiting Jupiter Disco. Its location is great, in Bushwick right on the border of buzzing Ridgewood. It's also near the train and other venues, such as House of Yes. I think Jupiter Disco is a great pregame spot or first stop on your night out -- it's usually free entry before 11 and the drinks are solid. Their house cocktails are $15 which is a tad pricey, but they're definitely strong and well-crafted. The bartenders, even on busy nights, put in the time and effort to make each drink perfectly.
The vibe is great. You might miss the place if you go by too quickly, since it doesn't have a sign and is inconspicuously settled in the industrial side of town. Inside is super cool, a dark-lit room with a DJ and disco ball, purple and red lights and a cool neon space-looking thing behind the bar. The drink menu appears on TV screens in a matrix-style font. The crowd who goes there is that pretentious hipster type, but they're not annoying and don't bother anybody. It's actual of-age people in here. The bathrooms aren't immaculate, but the two that are in there are OK for the size of the place and the amount of people in there. You don't usually wait on line long.
My only complaint is the music. While I absolutely adore that the DJs spin actual records, they play mostly obscure techno music with no lyrics. It's not bad at all, but I find myself standing there with my friend like "what am I dancing to?" If they could switch it up between that type of music (because it does fit the vibe) with some old-school disco hits that folks can sing along to, Jupiter Disco would be my dream bar.
