Decent spot if you're looking to dance. They have a decently sized dance floor unlike some places. Drinks are pricey and the whiskey sour I had was pretty gross. They offer coat check and generally there is no cover. Although there was a line when I went. Shout out to the doorman who was there Saturday night. Was very polite and professional

DJ was mediocre at best, my friend was slapped multiple times by the bartender, and my other friend was shoved to the floor by the bouncer. If you’re looking for a fun time in the city, this is the last place you should be. There’s safer bars that won’t assault their customers and overcharge you on your tab. Sleazy.

The DJ is trash (easily replaceable). Service was great, beautiful decor and awesome staff. The DJ has an attention span of a 5yr old and is only playing music pre 2010. Which is fine if the songs didn’t last only 20secs. The dancing become abrupt and not the best dancing experience. But you can sit and look cute pretending you’re having a good time.

Doormen (Charles) were super kind and showed us hospitality! Music and DJ were awesome, but the crowd could’ve been older. My friend turned 29 and it was full of college kids who really didn’t look old enough to club and were pretty obnoxious. Will definitely give this place another try though!

Been a couple times, over priced food / drink options with blaring loud top 40 mediocre music. Decor is pleasant but it doesn’t help that the space is pretty small especially on the dance floor

Actually, I was next due at the Double Down, which is fantastic! Quaint, quiet with a nice pool table, music and fun ppl

do not go here. this bar is not safe for women. the people who work here physically assault their customers. the bartender slapped my friend multiple times in the face and the bouncer threw my little sister onto the ground when she offered ro pay her friends tab that wasnt yet paid they physically assault women here. youve been warned.

NOT SAFE. Bouncer threw my friend across the room after she offered to pay her friend’s tab and the bartender slapped her friend across the face multiple times after over-charging him. Do not go unless you want to get assaulted by the staff.

Popped in here for some dancing as my friend was able to secure a table. The drinks were good but a little pricey for what you get and the music was definitely a vibe. Don't come here to have conversation, because you won't be able to hear each other which is fine as that's not the vibe. I know this place is kinda new, but I'm happy they've joined the neighborhood and I look forward to coming back to dance the night away. 4/5

If you like EDM or house music, this is the place for you- especially with the lack of concerts right now. They played the EDM classics and straight bangers the whole time we were there, the atmosphere is great. My POV would be to bring a group of friends here, get a table and just drink the night away to great music. Food was a bit overpriced but that's the trade off for the atmosphere...if you're moreso looking for good vibes versus a full stomach. My beef sliders were tiny for the $18 I paid but the drinks are good.

Honestly the vibe in here is decent and the space is nice. However, I ordered 6 shots and specifically asked for the cheapest vodka they have. It definitely tasted pretty cheap. So I was surprised to see an over $120 charge on my card the next day o.O I'd be careful buying drinks here, I think they know they can get away with overcharging you later at night amidst all the noise and commotion and when you are buzzed.

love this place!! the music was so good and the drinks were super strong. the bartenders were friendly and the lighting/decor is very cute! there was no wait and no cover before 11 PM.

Went here for Halloween event and I can't explain the frustration me and my friends had in the beginning of the night. Between the un-organization to the rude workers... we were very unhappy. We purchased tickets to the event and were the first people online for the open bar at 9:20-10:20pm and did not end up getting inside until 9:45-50. We were told to wait on the GA line not the VIP line, to later find out VIP line was just also normal tickets all getting in before us. Everyone's tickets were scanning invalid and each name had to be searched on a guest list of 300 people, to which my name could not be found on the guest list. All my friends were let in and I was left outside alone waiting for the manager to come resolve the issue. This was such a fail and waste of an open bar, do not go here for an event.

We were trying to come in and the bouncers (including Saad who was our friends promoter!) assumed our gender and didn't let 3/4 of our party in. Absolutely ruined girls night and our girlies on the inside said it was very mid and not worth the wait/walk. Go to another club.

Would avoid at all costs for any type of event. The management here will seem friendly but have repeatedly attempt to defraud us after our event by attempting to charge multiples of the agreed upon amount for completely fabricated expenses.

Great music, drinks a little expensive for LES, Louis Mng and the bartender in front bar deliver a great service !! Be back for sure,

I'm so glad this bar was able to operate during COVID. The entire management team (i.e., Ryan & James) and staff are great! Every single time I've been there with my friends, we always have an incredible time. Writing on the Wall will be our new go to spot for the rest of the summer and moving forward.

I came here on Halloween night and was super disappointed. Overpriced drinks is one thing but they charge you for WATER!! I've never heard of a bar that charges you for some plain water. And bartenders completely ignore you! The space is small and they oversold tickets so the floor was sooo packed you literally couldn't move or dance, or freaking breathe. Will never be coming back. Not worth the money or the trip.

Great party, music, and upscale atmosphere. Love the house/dance music and good vibes.

Dope new spot on the LES. These guys have done a great job opening up safely during really tough times. Great DJs spinning and really quality drinks. Staff is friendly and the place looks really crisp and fresh after recent renovations. Excited to come back again and again!

So rude!! From the bouncers to the bartender. Wouldn't recommend at all honestly. Incredibly pretentious vibes and even the music was trash

Garet W.

This place was so rude!! They wouldn't let my friend and I in because we weren't skinny and wearing the "appropriate" attire. Then we watched them let in. people dressed in sneakers and a t-shirt. Do not go here.
