I was having a girls night at this bar, I had the time of my life. We met a promoter who got us in and the experience was amazing. Would definitely recommend going. Everyone was nice and polite. Amazing bartenders. Our promoter was the life of the party and me and my girls found a nice spott!! Would definitely recommend going again.

I was there with a business group so we didnt have to wait in line but honestly I dont get the hype...! Music is average and the place is jammed with literally no room to move or dance and constant elbow jabbing.. You can drop $1000s for bottles but all you get is a spot at the bar, no table. As a matter of fact even after we switched to a table it didnt get any better as all booths are crowded with girls looking for free drinks and perched on top of couches. This place needs much better crowd control.Trust me youd have a much better and enjoyable time in ANY of the less hyped clubs all over the city.

Cool spot with amazing music, go on Thursdays when they play house music!

This is one of my most favorite dance clubs! The mashups are fantastic and the DJs are great! I have been there over 15 times and I have never seen a fight or issue. Lots of dance floors, and they now serve food downstairs, which the pizza is delicious by the way. I love the many different shows they support and put on. Amazing that they support all walks of life. I recommend this place to all of my friends.

Going to Bootie is like going to a huge house party where all the guests are your best friends, except unlike your best friends, you do not know them, and they also happen to share your love for mash-ups and dancing. WIN.Note that your feet will be stepped on and drinks will be spilled here, so dont wear anything too nice or too uncomfortable.

One of the best clubs in NYC! It’s famous for a reason and when I was here Chris Brown show up out of nowhere. It was such a fun time.

Some of my friends Took me out here it was my first time at one oak and I had so much fun! The music is great the drinks are delicious.

VIP at 1OAK is always amazing!

Its one of the most interesting clubs in town to visit with a friend. You will never get bored. I just lost my vallet out there. If anyone gets it then please inform at the earliest.

I recently came from UK and hired a booth over the labor weekend. Working within the hospitality sector I was impressed with the service from one oaks team. Very efficient and professional and will definitely be attending again on my next trip

Great drinks, food, and serve. Super chill place. Great vibes!

If I could rate this no stars I would. Bought a table here for NYE. Arrived at 11:30 PM and ordered bottles at 11:45 PM. We kept seeing bottles come out thinking it was ours, by the time 1 AM came around we still hadn’t received our bottles. We had spoken to management, but the service was the ABSOLUTE worst. Never got bottles or drinks so we left. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. They have horrible service.

I always have a great time at 1OAK whether its the New York one or LA. Awesome music and great people!

I came here for Halloween with my friends. We reserved a table for a set price-given to us by the host. The price was changed after we got to our table -by over a thousand dollars!We had people from out of the country and other people with us from far away-all coming together to celebrate Halloween here before going back home. This was a huge price change and they knew we wouldn’t be able to find another table that late at night on a holiday. If we had known before coming-we would have never booked.And to add insult to injury-after increasing the price, we had a huge table-then they pushed us to the side to squeeze in another group and I had to constantly ask the bouncers to get people out of our extremely expensive section because they kept cramming themselves in there. This was the most expensive night out I’ve ever had in New York. We made the best of it, but we will never go back. I will say that the music was really great that night and the bouncers were very helpful-but I had to constantly find them since it was so packed.

If you are visiting New York and you want to party with celebs or athletes this is deff the place. I dont think it is even possible for this place to ever have an off night!

Had a promoter personally invite me here and then doormen deny me once I arrived. I was really nice about the whole thing - I know the industry.I simply asked the promoter if there was an issue - to which he said: “I don’t make the rules” and turned his face at me - after showing up in time with no one behind me. He didn’t lie - he didn’t make the rules, but he definitely knows them.They profile here no doubt. I got the last laugh because the promoter was brown. Not sure who he works for exactly but he himself probably wouldn’t be granted entry here on a regular night. Hope he wakes up and does better for himself one day.

The service here is very bad and the music is top 40 trash. Overhyped and lame!

The best place to go to when your in the mood to have a girls night out. Make sure you come with your best girlies because they might have a list but you know that goes

If youre not white and underage its not your scene. They charge 500 dollars for bottle service and the cocktails are best mixed at other bars. If you have no better choice for a club take your own spin at it. I recommend staying in the Williamsburg area, much friendlier vibes and faster service.

Really unfriendly staff and bad atmosphere. Music quality is bad and the chub is in general dirty!

1oak used to be fun but we tried to go last night and we were discriminated against. Let’s just say if you aren’t a minority you can’t get in. The bouncers were very degrading and creepy. 3 white girls tried to get in and were told “promoter or reservations only” then black girls went after us and had no problem. Will never come back here. Maybe this is why all of the recent reviews are 1 Star.

Some of the best performances are always here!

Arrogant staff trying to charge you 300$ at 2am on a Wednesday night to get in with a bar tap... they expect every man to bring 5 top models just to enter without a crazy fee... not gonna go back (would give 0 stars if possible)

BEWARE OF SCAM. STAY AWAY. DON’T RUIN YOUR NIGHT!!!Me and my wife had tickets for Wednesday night Rick Ross concert. After waiting on the line for 20 minutes doorman said they were experiencing issues with tickets and they can’t confirm it. They stepped us the side of the line and put us on hold for about extra 25 minutes. While we were waiting I saw that they scan some peoples tickets and let them in and they separate some people for technical issue. I waited for a while and record the lady who was scanning tickets. I asked Doorman about what was going on and he repeated same LIE. When I asked the lady she said that I need to ask to doorman about what is going on. When I start digging more I found out that they pick people as they like. It doesn’t matter what you dressed like they separate you specifically if you don’t fit their discrimination and If you don’t play as their outside crowd puppet they don’t let you in even if you have ticket.

How is this place still showing up in Google. They charge 522$ for a bottle service. How is that even legal in NYC??? I could have flown back to Europe, gotten into Bergheim in Berlin. This is NYC ppl, we come here with expectations. If Google is willing to show this as a part of their reviews, its high time we need to reconsider them.

Cool party on Saturday and Friday

Good vibes, great way to spend a night in NYC

They ask for pictures if you rsvp. Overheard the promoter say don’t allow too many blacks inside. They won’t let you in if your overweight. Very rude people!

To be honest, the bouncers are not professional at all, the patrons are so snobby its insane. Everything is overpriced and the establishment is discriminatory amongst people of gender, race, weight, for what? Stop supporting places like this. You can still keep a certain atmosphere but do it in more positive way. but this aint it chief!

A $500 bar tab for $10 worth of fun. This place sucks.

Hoodville brought me here

I just really loved the atmosphere and how nicely I was treated by the staff

Was once a beacon for night life.... 10+ years ago. Now- a filthy sad shell of what it once was. I hope Richie sees this. Do an overhaul of the promoters you hire to spice up the guests, install air filters- even when the place was half empty it smelled like a urinal. If half the place is cleared out the reasons for the tragic mess towards the back of house beats me. The floor and space reminded me of a dive bar floor with sprinkling of guests to an already thinned out area. Your Friday night DJ needs work- no consistent vibe, or original mixes. Re-structure the placement of your bouncers on the main floor in between the premium tables. Even with the best tables- you don’t want to step down from the booth for the bottleneck of random (and I do mean random as hell) guests who aren’t dancing just standing. Lastly, throw all your old shot glasses and ice buckets away. They look like cheap tattered plastic holders that have been used and scratched since opening. ALSO- the wallpaper in the entrance should be scrapped- the bathrooms were disgusting and not to the fault of the cleaners but you should work on managing the line flow from upstairs because the hallway is narrow and steps are steep so once you get down there is like a septic tank swamp smelling ripe of cheap beer and rail booze. One more thing- hire someone NEW at the front door who can maintain an eye on the curation of people inside. Because your old customers have found better places to party.... BUT 1Oak AINT IT.

The club is very fun, don’t go if your with a bunch of guys tryna spend $50 lol It’s 1 oak b ready to throw dat money

Creepy door guys. And once it gets past 12 am, just not a safe place for ladies. The manager stands there at the door and looks for girls that are drunk and falling over to let in. Just stay away if you are visiting new york. Theres way better venues to check out. This is just trashy.

If The place is great, I love going to 1Oak. Only one bad experience, a bouncer told my friend to step to the side and let the rest of us in. I did not like that at all but other than that, it was a good time and the party is always an awesome one. Excited to go again.

This place is racist and didn’t let my friends in solely because we were colored. We were sober, with proper ID and they still would not let us in. 0 stars, do not recommend!

Such a great place to rack up credit card debt that takes years to pay off smh

It was okay, but not the experience I wanted to have. It is not that great the people are rude and the service was a mess. I couldnt even say hello without rude what do ya want

At the age of 22 and with a valid id license, i was DENIED from this club because of my looks. Horrible place with very rude bouncers. When asked why i wasnt allowed in, they said it was because of my weight.

I Wouldn’t recommend this place. The promoter was extremely Rude and disrespectful. He refused entry to military men who were in uniform on Memorial Day weekend during fleet week who were sober and polite. Men who serve our country. Wouldn’t spend my money in that place!!

Just found out they told a friends daughter she was too fat to come in. Literally a beautiful girl. I was shocked that this still is a thing, that pathetic people pay to feel they can exclude others, or that someone would have such a job as these doormen. Women, you have all the power here--- no one wants to go to a club that women dont like. Use your influence and find a better venue.

The bouncers outside were rude and discriminatory to members in my group. They wouldnt allow everyone in and split my group up. We were all standing in front of the line. They had us waiting outside when absolutely no one was inside the club. What a joke!The groups of models that came in later just stood around on one side of club socializing. I was told it was early (it was around 12am) and party gets better later.Finally I was told they werent going to allow my friends inside. They told one Caucasian girl in my group that she better get to the back of the line. I didnt enjoy the vibe so I finished my drink and left to meet with my friends outside.Its not worth the hassle. My short, thick, afro self got in by luck because the guy in my group knew the promoter. However, there was a limit to who can get in.

Everything about this club is absolutely terrible. We travelled to the city for our friends 21st birthday, and had a promoter who was supposed to get us in with no trouble. When we went up to the bouncers, they were SO sketchy and whispering to each other, and by the time all was said and done they let everyone in except for ONE person in our group, who was the oldest of the group. When we asked why she wasn’t allowed in, they completely ignored us and acted like we were less than the dirt on their shoe. They gave a pitiful excuse that It was because her ID didn’t scan, but It was nothing more than an excuse to be terrible human beings. I’ve never felt so directly disrespected, and for absolutely no reason, in my entire life. I will NEVER go there again, strictly because of how we were all treated, inside and outside of the club.

1Oak bouncers were very rude and nasty..I truly understand you have to do your job but all I asked was a questions and they all were arrogant n nasty..The question was wat time do the doors open and they were extremely rude..Never again will I subject myself to rudeness at your establishment..

We were 2 girls visiting from Denmark and got in through a promoter. Ok music but overall quite disappointing. We were expecting a great party but there were a lot of ppl with tables and bottle service who looked bored as if they were there only there to get noticed and the only ppl having a blast were the too young models. 40$ for two drinks that didn’t even taste good. Also there was an extremely rude and unprofessional security guard who gave us his very unwanted opinion on something he had no business with. Youre not missing out on anything if you dont get in. Really.

Over priced and overrated. People only go here because celebs get paid to show face and then are in shock when they pull up and cover is $100+. Not worth the time or money. Save yourself a waste of a night, horrific service and awful crowd and go somewhere (anywhere) else

The club you go to after the club. Can get a bit raunchy, but fun if you are in the mood. Likely to see some famous faces with a table near the DJ booth.

Amazing vibe and music every single night!!! If you got coin than hit this spot

So tonight we came out to celebrate my sister birthday and decided to go to 1 oak. What a horrible experience that turned out to be. After waiting in line for 30 mins the bouncer told me and my sisters and 2 other individuals to step to the side. When asked why we should step to the side another bouncer told us that we cant get in with no explanation. Funny thing everyone asked to step to the side was black. Wow never experience this before.

Typical VIP style club with a less pretentious atmosphere than I expected.... although the awful smell in the place put me off. Not a brilliant experience but i wouldn’t rule out coming back on a different night to see if there was a better crowd.

Staff is very rude and discriminating, don’t waste your time!

Not the experience I expected. Rude and terrible staff, low vibes

Came on a Sunday the line was ridiculously long and took forever to get in even with a promoter. Bouncers are very selective on who they let it and if you dont have your id out then be prepared to get turned away.Club was small and I wasnt impressed by the setup. Bartenders were slow and it took too long to get a drink. Ive been to much better run clubs in LA and Vegas.On the bright side music was awesome and with enough alcohol in you can ignore all the lacking factors.

I don’t consider myself a partygoer and for the very reason of experiences at places like this is why I stay in. I noticed a place that claims sophisticated standards but lack every bit. Rude and awful staff, lots of prejudice behavior. If you’d like to ruin your night and have the worst experience ever then you’ll end up at 1OAK.

So much, yet simultaneously nothing at all

Literally the worst security and staff. My friend had a Florida ID and they wouldn’t let her in because it wasn’t a NY ID and the staff didn’t know how to read an ID even though it scanned. They asked for her address and she gave it to them and they still didn’t let her in. Don’t go here. Go to Lavo or PHD. So much better.

Apparently it’s $150 for guys to get in. They told my white guy friends that it would be $150 each and then the same bouncer told these black gentleman standing behind us that it was $200 for each of them. We stood in line for over a half hour. When we got in, the club was barely even full. I will never go back here again.

If you want to have fun, I highly recommend this place

Imagine being a big enough idiot to even consider going here and getting scammed..

Girls in club from promotersso be ready for a fake miami style

Love this place bouncers are always nice to me and let me cut the lines never have a problem here

Its fine but expected more after I read the reviews below. Plus hate the narrow areas. If you only care about your immediate neighbors and if you are lucky you have a table next to other fun people then this is a great place. If you want more then that there are quite a few other options in NYC.

Extremely disappointed! I was expecting such a higher caliber of service due to the experience in Las Vegas however the staff in NYC make you feel like dirt on the bottom of their shoe! Avoid at all costs!

Can you give it a zero?

1 oak is a chill spot. Nice design and atmosphere. Bartenders were attractive and smiley. I will make sure to come back here next time I am in the area.

Sherry is a rude middle aged lady. She stands the line and scans for people to let in. She let me in but unfortunately she is wearing like tennis shoes and sweatpants brining the club esthetic down. Sherrys hair was dishelved and not put together it was embarrassing having a lady like her being the voice of reason for this upscale club. Some of her door employees were saying how much they disliked her. If you want to have a good experience visit another club.

Overpriced. Rude staff. Dj nothing special.

Best Club in NYC! Location top!

Waited for a promoter that never came to escort us into the event. Eddy is a scam promoter.

Tough to be a man in this club, if you dont know the doorman or the owner

Nice club, good drinks but staff is very rude and can ruin your night. If you want to get inside just do not waste your time queuing politely... the stronger you are the more chances you have to get in....

I work as a host in a very popular nightclub in NYC and I know how it goes. When I came to this place last night, I was gonna buy a bottle service but a big guy with a black hat at the door asked for 2,000$ min on a table service for 3 guys. We could spent more than a thousand but this is BS. Place is overrated.

Was there with my friends on Christmas party.Music was bad. Service was ok... First we got a table next to the entrance and bouncer was keep pushing us to stay only neat our table, we couldnt move or dance! Anyway. We changed table to the next one and had to share this VERY small space with other party! It could feet only 4-5 people. We had 8. Not the point. We gave one credit card when we arrived and payed with another by the end. So they charged us TWICE! We called the club and they refused to give us money back! So.. $2700 for 2 bottles. Never be back. Worth experience ever!

Lol this club is trash

Very bad service ! Very mean and unprofessional security

Purchased tickets in advance for the Halloween party, got a costume together, rearranged travel plans to be there and spent 1.5 hours in line before being told they werent letting guys in. If you sell me a ticket, I expect to NOT wait in line or be denied entry. Maybe thats just too crazy a concept for 1 Oak.

1 OAK is a business with transphobic door policies and is not one worth supporting. My friend was hired by 1 Oak to host their new Thursday night party. They sent in a list of their guests in advance only to find out they would be denied entry because they were transgender. Door staff said that the group had too many men and that the transgender women in the group basically didnt count as women. The club was nearly empty at the time and the individuals inside were dressed much more casually than this group. There was no reason to deny these individuals entry for any reason other than transphobia. It is 2017, and I kindly ask we all come together and take our fun times and dollars elsewhere.

This place is racist. They did not want our money although we were willing to pay thousands. Take your funds elsewhere.

Never been there but hey gotta start somewhere

The One Thing About 1 Oak People Don’t Understand Is That It’s A Family In it’s own right! Whether you are black, white or green it’s all boils down to if they know you; not personally but just you as a person! I have been going here for 6 years straight on a Tuesday or Friday! I will be honest I do work for one of their main djs but; I have established a rapport with the entire staff on my own! I greet everyone upon entering and leaving the venue right down to the bus boys! My point is people forget a club is basically someone’s house and you can’t just expect to walk in because your paying. 1 Oak has no general admission so technically they reserve the right to be selective you have to respect that! It’s a new year coming in don’t get mad at the club just step your clout up!

Amazing club with a classy ambience

Wednesday nights are not lit

*One of New Yorks biggest cesspool.* Drinks are superbly overpriced, the staff are Jerks. The club does not respect the neighborhood it lives in. The cabs are allowed to line up outside and wake up everyone with honking at 5 a.m. in the morning. And club doesnt care to prevent that from happening. They also take up over 8 parking spots outside the clubs perimeter and no one is allowed to park there from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. #notgoodneighbors

The staff (door men) were rude , very racist and for me to be a visitor of New York it has made me never want to come back again

My daughter went and was denied entry for no reason......she said the black girls were denied entry!!!! Im appalled that in 2018 this goes on....DONT GO !!

Plase is bad

Dont waste your time. Unless youre filthy rich, dont bother.

Agreed the staff is horrible and yes, its very expensive. Welcome to the NYC club scene.

So chic and fun!

Douchey wanna-bes so desperate to be cool theyll stand in line like dorks and pay hilarious amounts of bottle markups to say they were in the same room as some B list personality. Amateurs.

Why is this place still open?? It only takes 100 reviews to realize this place is racist and trying to be selective as if it was a way to attract more business.

Ben likes it a lot. Very intense. A lot like Avenue. Hard core club in meet packing.

I went here recently for a special event that let in even lowly normal folk like myself. From what I hear the doorman is usually pretty impossible, only letting in the known nyc highrollers. But the decor was artsy upscale and there was a good sized dance floor. The drink prices are through the roof though. On regular nights, itd be a nice spot to show off how much more pretentious you are than everyone else.

If i could give negative stars I would.Let me start by saying, oh my gosh. Oh. My. Gosh.So we pull up in a cab. The city is full of cabs, everyone knows this. He pulls over to the side of the street where the club is and sorta pulls on the curb a little, accidently.The bouncers immediately start talking to him, CRAZY. He is trying to respond and all he is sayinh is that he was trying to get out of the way and not hold up the flow of traffic. This is what they said. Verbatim: listen dirt bag, next time dont pull up on the curb, or Ill be taking your green card. Sign number 1 that we should not have gone in.So we get in with promoters and everyone in there is foreign and racist. I mean, I was sober, and I was being shoved out of the way by people and then watching them take their time easing around girls of a different complexion.BUT, this is not what I went out for, and Ive had worse experiences in Miami. So I ignored it and forced myself to have a good time.At the end of the night, coat check had lost my friends coat. I was already outside the club waiting so I do not know what transpired between my friends and the employees inside. But I do know that they were practically pushed out of the club and all she was saying is I want my coat and it was not happening for us. An argument ensued between another friend and the bouncers and he said Im glad i dont have to deal with your ass again.It is problematic for me because black men are already showing us little to no respect. These bouncers disrespected the heck out of us, in front of everyone. I wont be going back.And i think the BEST part about it, is that from the time we got there to the time we left, they played about 3/4 songs that werent by a black artist. We must be monkeys to them. Just there for entertainment but unworthy of basic respect.This review is being written for US. It isnt going to matter any other way. I saw the clientele they care about last night, and i know for sure they could give 2 f**ks about whether any of us show up there again.

If you arent Euro Trash or a tourist this place isnt for you. Try Cielo its 5 mins away. No wait on line. Everyone comes there to dance and listen to dope DJs. Not go where there is a pretentious air for no reason. I saw a guy walk in and give security $2 dollar tip lol laughable. Native New Yorkers dont frequent this club. Its all tourist! Stay away. Your only paying for the name. The club will go out of business soon. Mark my words. Good day

For VIP guest list, or the BEST Table Reservation prices,  or General Information about here or the TOP 20 clubs in NYC 9 1 7 6 1 7 5 2 3 6.

The wannabees snobs take the fun out a place that has the potential to be classy yet laid back. So next.

I went here for a charity event, and my first reaction was the place is gorgeous!. I definitely have a preference for beautiful places, and 1OAK is someplace I would want to take an out of town friend to..I went on a thursday night, and the music was mostly top 40 and the place was nicely crowded..The only downside is that the drinks are terribly watered down, even for meat packing standards, and the bartender can get pretty temperatal..Despite it all, I would still go here again, for the beautiful setting and the crowd.

Probably the worst club in NYC. Arrogant door staff with a very bad attitude. Not a patch on other venues. The staff here could take a lesson from other one oak venues and perhaps the place would be worth a visit. As it is stay away. Avenue is only a few steps away and is infinitely better
