Greenhouse

This place was recommended to me by some colleagues. I am an African American Attorney who wears slacks and a blazer when I go out. Such was my outfit this past Saturday. I was with two females who looked great and dressed to the tee. Some friends who went to the UN were set to join me. Unfortunate, some guy who works at the door felt the need to lie to me about the place being full and I can only come in if I get a table for $1,000.00. What he failed to realize is that right in front of me he told some White patrons a very different story. He told them they could go downstairs for $25.00 if they did not want to get a table. I asked the man for his card and he conveniently did not have one. I shall be writing the manager and making sure that anyone I know who has any sense of fairness does not go to this establishment. Please note that I am a person who has traveled the world and spent money at high end places. I was highly insulted.

Pros: None

Cons: Racial Profiling $$$

I had a good night here and managed to get in via a friend so we didn't have to much of an issue with the line. Probably wouldn't go back in a hurry.

Pros: Good Crowd

Cons: Tough line

Posted 10/18/09

Went in here on sunday of Labor day weekend, thinking it would be a good time. As my cousin and I enter the club we notice all men in the place. I asked the coat check guy if tonight is a special event. He said , " its Gay night". The website did not indicate any of this information and I was very dissapointed. We were looking for straight men lol. So much for that, not sure if I will attempt to go back until they update their website to reflect special nights.

Pros: Nice Decor

Cons: Website has no information on schedualed events!

Greenhouse was insane on Tuesday night! the line is tough but always worth it. guaranteed hot, fun crowd and
roxy cottontale was spinning! we got there on the early side and it was packed! There was an open bar with these glowing green bottles!! I'll be back next tuesday!

Pros: fun crowd, drink promos, great DJ

Cons: Tough Line

Posted 09/02/09

friday night my boyfriend buys a round of drinks from poor man's chris angel at the bar. he tells him $44 bucks for 2 amstel lights and 2 grey goose tonics, but after my bf passes him his credit card he sees the receipt says $50 with a $10 gratuity. seriously!!? the fact that you made 2 mixed drinks and popped the cap off the bottles makes you think your service was worth 10 bucks on top of overcharging us?! please. we left and went down to the east village where the crowd was less pretentious and the music was better.

Posted 08/30/09

Spent Sat there, my last night in New York. I did not want to leave!! DJ was excellent and played funky remixes all night. Sorry about the cliche but it rocked!! If anyone knows his name would love to download some of the music, it was the DJ on the lower floor as you have walked down the stairs - let me know guys, thanks. Great atmosphere and worth a visit. Enjoy.

Pros: DJ on lower floor and remixes

Cons: Expevsive ,but hey you have to pay for quality.

Posted 08/17/09

We couldn't get past the door after waiting for 30mins unless you paid $400 a bottle or $1500 for a table. We had called ahead so we had our night planned out (it was a bar crawl) and they said no problem, just walk up and ask for JoeJoe (who wasn't even a real person). They are full of themselves, I hate that B/S I hope they get SHUT DOWN!!!

Pros: none

Cons: everything

Posted 08/02/09

this place is just after you're money place is cornie they want you to spend 1500 on a table like you're trying to get drunk on a monday are you for real as a promoter that is working there for the night an we have problems you can go shhh it how about that all the 20 people i walked up with had the money but be real who wants to spend that much on a monday a saturday i understand other then dat stay away from green house an this tought bald guy at the door that thinks he is the man you're not eena flash light cop go get a real profession an thats my storie of the worst club in nyc

Pros: there is none stay away

Cons: everything in the book

Posted 08/02/09

we went there on a saturday around 11:00 pm - there was no line and we were all girls and they wouldn't let us in saying it was a private party. But this was after leaving us there for 15 minutes on the side so they could scope us out - the people in the front are so rude- I will never go back. The place isn't that hot for them to be so stuck up.
don't waste your time here,

Pros: can't think of any

Cons: really rude bouncers

Posted 07/27/09

I normally do not right reviews but when I came across an extremely bias positive review. I felt that an extra voice should be added to heed others from wasting their time coming to this establishment.

First of, I was just here on a weekend not too long ago. I have seen the rudeness of the staff.
Also, I know and witnessed what indeed occurred, that well dressed ethnic groups were shunned and turned away. I am merely stating what I saw!!!

Pros: Decor

Cons: Everything Else

Posted 07/14/09

Wednesdays in the lounge downstairs are rad

Pros: DJS!!!

Posted 07/05/09

Dj Rashad is the best

Posted 07/05/09

Went there for my birthday, had about 6 girls, 2 guys and the guy at the door wanted me to pay $4000 for 2 bottles. RIDICULOUS.

Next time I'll just buy my own organic wine and celebrate at home with friends.

Don't waste your money. The place is green because of how much they charge!

Pros: Organic Vodka

Cons: Rude, Expensive

Posted 06/09/09

One of my girlfriends was bragging about this club in the city. I'm very skeptical when it comes to clubs but she knows how I am so I figured I give the place a chance. We went and the line was filled with so many hotties. I was like WOW!!! We finally get inside and we had a table in a great section. The drinks were phenomenal, we stayed until the club closed...it's officially my favorite club!!

Pros: The Design

Cons: Smoking Area

Posted 04/21/09

I go to greenhouse occasionally. They have greatest parties any day of the week. Every time I've attended a party, I was never disappointed. This place is full respectable staff and people. It a great place to go after a long day of work.

Pros: Amazing Service

Cons: Always Full

Posted 04/21/09

I went to this club with my friends last weekend, and it's the BEST club in New York! The music is extremely good. I didn't stop dancing all night. The inside is beautiful and really unique. Packed with good looking people...AND! it's good for our environment! they use special lights I hear that don't waste so much energy.. and do other things to save energy. that's great! and the staff was so friendly and fun. I recommend this place to everyone. If you want to have the best and most fun night go to GREENHOUSE!

Pros: The music, the space

Posted 04/21/09

One of my best night's ever. I took my super hot girl, and now she thinks I'm the king of NYC. We went with her brother two girlfriends visiting from Denmark. A table and a couple bottles, and we rocked. Good looking crowd, music, decore, and even door for letting in only the best. This is my new party spot.

SOR

Posted 04/21/09

I had the grestest experience at Greenhouse. I went there for my birthday weekend. The line was long but when we got inside everything looked amazing. The lighting and interior was perfect. Me and my friends had so much fun. There were so many attractive people there. Definitely going to there again!!!

Pros: Great Drinks

Cons: Tough Door

Posted 04/21/09

I went there for a bachelorette party. I had a wonderful time. It was filled with a lot of attractive people. The drinks were great and we had a great section. Most fun I've had in a long time.

Pros: beautiful interior

Cons: couldn't get into vip

Posted 04/20/09

Went for my friends birthday party last weekend and had a blast... I was skeptical being that it was saturday night. I usually can't stand to go out on the weekends anymore. We hung out downstairs in this crazy leaf filled room. Sounds weird but it looks really cool. The crowd was a cool mix of downtown cool kids and sophisticated Euro's. They had house music playing upstairs but we liked the vibe in the basement so much we never even made it to the main floor. I'll have to check out the house music room next time I go back.

Pros: Cool Vibe, Hot Chicks

Cons: Tight Door

Posted 04/20/09

I went to Greenhouse with 2 other girls and 3 guys. We had a great section next to the vip area. I saw a couple of celebrities. The club was surrounded by a great crowd of people. Definitely had great service.

Pros: Ecofriendly

Cons: Long line at the door

Posted 04/20/09

I have been to this place countless times since it opened and every night my friends and I have had a blast! The music is great, the energy and vibe of the place is always right on and the crowd is HOT! The staff is pretty friendly, too. I love this place and don't understand how so many bad reviews have been written! My friends and I have NEVER had a problem. It's the place to be any night of the week. F*** the haters this place is GREAT!

Pros: great music, hot crowd, good vibe, open 7 nights a week.

Cons: the smoking is kinda annoying.

Posted 04/20/09

I have to say, I was skeptical on the whole two levels and different formats!! What a surprise! It was JUST what I wanted.
It was a great mixed crowd. I was NOT PRESSURED into buying bottles. We are 8 people,. and the best part was NO COVER CHARGE! Since when does a club in the city not charge cover??
The music was a good mix. I think it was a good crowed. Not pretentioius, certainly not "gay". Although, they do have one of the BEST gay parties on SUNDAY NIGHT!!! So, if you dfont like that scene, dont go on sunday night!

Pros: Unreal Light System and VERY cool drinks

Cons: Soho?

Posted 04/20/09

I went to Greenhouse on a week day, I had the best time of my life. The crowd was great, the staff was very professional. Will definitely be attending other parties.

Pros: Great Music

Cons: A lot of people outside

Posted 04/20/09

Love the place. Hot people. Great two floors of great music. Its amazing. I love the uniforms of the staff. and I love the drinks. The tables are decorated in a GREAT Unique way that makes this a great destination away from club row and meathead district.

Pros: LEED certified Hot Girls. Hot Staff GREAT DRINKS

Cons: Hard to get into. Its a nightclub!

Posted 04/20/09

I have seen and partied at every top club in NYC and can say without a doubt Greenhouse is easily one of the coolest and most chill clubs in the city. I usually do not write in these types of forums but after reading some of the ridiculous negative comments I felt compelled to do so. Not every club is perfect but if you are looking to hang with friends in a very cool and unique environment then I would highly recommend checking this place out and avoid reading the retarded comments below. A group fo us went here 2 weeks ago and felt no pressure to buy bottles and found the door staff to be incredibly professional and polite!

Pros: Incredible ambiance - very cool place

Cons: NONE

Posted 04/20/09

LOL..IT APPEARS THAT GREENHOUSE THINKS ITS TRENDY TO ONLY ALLOWS GAY AND BL;ACKS ENTRANCE..IF YOU 'RE WHITE GET READY TO GO FOR A COUPLE OF BOTTLES..SO DON'T GET SUCKERED IN.BY THE MORONS AT THE DOOR WHO MAKE ABOUT $100 A NIGHT (GET A REAL JOB) LOL ..BY THE TIME JON B...WAKES UP TO THE FACT THAT IT' S THOSE THAT HE DENIES ENTRANCE THAT HAVE THE CASH LOL NOT THE FREAKS THAT HE DOES LET IN IT'LL BE BYE BYE GREENHOUSE LOLOLO

Pros: LOL

Cons: IT'S EXISTANCE LOL

Posted 04/01/09

Attempted to go on saturday night. 6 girls , 3 guys all attractive people and dressed well. The minute we got in line it was trouble the people in front of us stormed off saying dont even waste your time. Shortly there after the bouncer told us the ONLY way we could get in is we bought three bottles. Now i am a drinker but 3 people per bottle is a lot of drinking to do. We did not even bother got off the line n went else where. So if you plan on visiting Greenhouse be prepared to buy 1 bottle per every 3 people

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything

Posted 03/28/09

A few friends and I decided to swing by Greenhouse last Saturday on the recommendation of a co-worker and I couldnt have been happier with the results. The place was perfectly packed with the right people and the music was incredible. We ended up staying until around 4 am.

Greenhouse is definitely my new favorite club.

Pros: Decor, crowd, music, service

Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Posted 03/17/09

i question any of the 5 star reviews below....this place is truly trashy, and a short-time "club" in this city for sure. learn how to treat your patrons...you guys have a lot of work ahead of you....actually please just close down for Christ's sake. To readers here...spare yourself...go elsewhere and have an awesome night out. Cheers.

Giselle

Pros: truly trashy, please avoid

Cons: don't say we haven't warned ya....this place is garbage!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted 03/09/09

This place is great if you are a minority or a gayl. You can walk right in once you get to the rope. You will be treated with unbelievable kindness, and zero discrimination. Lets go out and represent this friday and fill up the lines with our people so i can show you all just how right i am. Hope this s hole gets sued.

Pros: they love minoritys and confused men! (and classy women)

Cons: they dont let strait white men in.

Posted 03/08/09

The club is amazing during the week especially monday and tuesday. friday is also fun but house music. as for the bachelorette party- your group must have been busted to be all girls and not get in lol.

the door is tough and arrogant but this is NY for pete's sake.

Pros: crowd, style, decor

Cons: prices

Posted 03/05/09

Although not many other clubs on the block, its New York City, grab a cab and go somewhere else. The 5 bucks you spend on a cab is well worth your sanity.

Pros: None

Cons: Cons: Very rude and inconsiderate staff all around (door staff to hostess to PR personnel to bartenders), overpriced, hot & cramped space

Posted 03/02/09

We were going to celebrate a bachlorette party at Greenhouse -- we had used a promoter to book us a restaurant and bar for the event. A LOT of money was going to be spent on the whole night to ensure we had VIP access and that the bride had a perfect night. When we arrived at Greenhouse not only were they rude to the group of us (especially the door guys/girls), but they had given our VIP table away and offered us a TINY table downstairs, which was so packed no one could even move. For all the money we were going to spend and all the time it took to plan the night, the promoter and ALL the staff should have treated us like true VIPs. We left and went to another club where we were treated very well and they did everything in their power to ensure we had a good night, which is how Greenhouse should have been!

Pros: Nice decor

Cons: Everything else

Posted 03/01/09

I went here the other night and had a great time. It was just me and my boy (we both live on the UWS) and we had no problems with anyone there. I just read through all these reviews and don't get all the haters!!! Lol. I'm totally confused. The place was great, there were a bunch of good-looking people, and the music was good, too. The door guys are jerks, but that doesn't bother me. I've been going out in the city for years now, so I expect it. They aren't there to kiss up. The staff was friendly and aside from the smoking (which the management seems to be actively trying to control by telling people to put their cigs out.) I also found the crowd diverse, older, and upscale, so like I said, I don't get what these people are talking about. I highly reccomend this place. Check it out.

Pros: good looking people, good music

Cons: the door and the smoking

Posted 02/19/09

It was quite sad to see how white the crowd was last night. From what I remember, NYC is not the midwest. Jon B needs to find some bouncers who are race blind to get into the place if he wants this place to last. Bouncers should be arrogant and pretentious.. but the there was this tall white man (prob around 6 foot 4 inches) whith a bad accent who thought he owned the place (he didn't.) When I was in line, he made it a point to turn away blacks and browns by mumbling "you are not welcome." It was quite depressing. Like many of the reviewers have mentioned before, the inside was packed, but didn't really have a dance floor and had 0 diversity. And apparently much like some of the high end clubs in the city, you should feel free to smoke away. Nobody cares.

Pros: Smokers can rejoice

Cons: Race matters

Posted 02/17/09

Last Thursday evening I purchased four cosmopolitans from the main bar. When I closed the tab (at 12:30 - an early night) the bartender charged an additional sum for placing them in a normal glass and added an automatic tip (surprising given that it was a bar tab and not bottle service). I am very easy going, so I just signed and made a smiley face next to the tip. Upon review of my credit card - Greenhouse added an additional 30%! Three calls later to management, simply to report the moral dishonestly of the bartender - I finally got a copy of my receipt with my handwriting. They did in fact inflate the price! This should not happen and patrons should be wary and check their credit cards.

Several of the prior reviews were written by management addressing previous complaints. Beyond the dishonesty (which alone is reason to go elsewhere) the club reeks of smoke, the music is too loud and not well mixed, and the crowd is lacking (read homogenous meatpacking with little class or substance). It is a shame that the club prides itself on being 'environmental' - there are many smaller venues that have organic liquors, great music and tasteful patrons (not the ho-hum promoter land, bridge/tunnel, daddy-paid for my Louis Vuitton but I choose to pair it with my Forever 21 dress sort that are at Greenhouse haha). The crowd is self-important with nothing to back it up. If you are looking for diversity, beautiful people or genuinely honest staff - this is not the place for you.

Pros: Coat check woman was very pleasant.

Cons: Dishonest staff, Tacky crowd, Sketchy promoters, Smoke, Music - JUST GO ELSEWHERE

Posted 02/17/09

I went here last Friday with a bunch of my girls. We danced, we drank and we had a blast!!! The place is gorgeous, the music is pretty good and I didn't notice the smoke. I thought it was a great spot! The doormen were rude but really hot, so we didn't mind the attitude - Lol! We will def. be frequenting this place a lot more. I like it as much as Pink Elephant : ) Def. worth checking out...

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Posted 02/16/09

Fist of all, I neither work for the club nor am I in any way associated with anyone who does. I have been to Greenhouse several times and it has always been extremely pleasent and fun, every time we pulled up in a cab a bouncer was there to open the cab door for us, hold an umbrella over our heads when it was raining and either let us in right away or politely ask us to wait for a moment till they accomodated the people who had arrived prior to us. I am not a model, neither am I particularily important I'd say, I have went with different groups of people, different races, genders, backgrounds etc. and we never encountered any problems at the door. It is needless to say that we dress appropriately and are polite to the doorstaff as well.

If people who are dressed like bridge and tunnel trash yell at the bouncers because one of their wasted, all-out-there friends is not being let in and therefore the whole group does not get past the door, then take out their anger online the next day, that can hardly be viewed as an objective review.

If somebody insist on making a "cash deal" at the door to let you in, that is a very obvious hint that they simply don't want you there and they expect you to leave offendedly and never come back. If that is what you do, they did their job.

Great club, great mix of music, fun interior and enough space to dance the night away.
Not recommended for people who do not know how to act, demand special treatment because they came all the way from Jersey and have their prettiest 'forever 21' dress on.

Pros: Friendly and fast staff, great mixed crowd, good music, spacious

Cons: None

Posted 02/16/09

I went to this place last Friday with a bunch of my boys. We bought bottles and sat in the main room upstairs. The music was pretty good and there were tons of cute girls there. Our waitress was pretty cute, too. The smoke was annoying, but not unbearable. Yeah, the door guys were rude, but we expect nothing less in NYC. We got in, we spent money and had a great time. We would go back again and probably will this Friday.

Pros: cute girls, good music

Cons: the door

Posted 02/16/09

Greenhouse has one of the toughest doors in town, but it is deinitely worth a try. yes the doorman is rude, BUT it is a mobscene outside so i don't really blame him. I was there tuesday for the i hate models party- it was amazing. beautiful girls everywhere dancing to amazing music. cannot wait to go back tonight!

Pros: music, crowd, decor

Cons: door

Posted 02/15/09

I went here a few weeks ago for my girlfriends birthday party and we had a great time. I don't work there or know anyone that works there for that matter and my honest opinion is that it's a great spot. We didn't have any problems anywhere. Yeah, the doormen are jerks, but aren't they suppossed to be? The music was good, the staff polite and the crowd pretty decent. Don't know what all these crazy people are talking about. When someone expresses such insanely extreme feelings about something, with no objectivity whatsoever, you have to wonder what their deal is. I reccomend the place highly.

Pros: Almost everything

Cons: The door and the smoking.

Posted 02/15/09

So it was my fiances 21st birthday on Valentines day. We decided to check out the Greenhouse once we arrived the doormen were extremely rude and were trying to make cash deals in order to get in. They were asking for a minimum of (3) Bottles at a minimum price of $350.00 per bottle. That was not the issue, the issue was the doormen they were extremely rude and snobbish for no apparent reason. I bet those guys could not even afford a night there. There are plenty of clubs in New York City where you can go and have a great time. They come a dime a dozen.

Pros: NONE!

Cons: EVERYTHING!

Posted 02/15/09

Wow what haters out there! I guess this person is promoting Mr. West? Gag me. I actually was there last night for a Bday party and had a great time! This loser probably couldn't get in, too bad for him.

Pros: Had a great time

Cons: The door.

Posted 02/12/09

HAHAHA STUPID IDIOTS WHO WORK OVER AT GREEN HOUSE PROBALY WROTE FAKE REVIEWS, (IE. THE BOTTOM 3). anyone self respecting person can see that they are all written in the same night, and magically all good reviews when all the rest on here since they opened are trashing them!!!!!! best laugh i had in a long time. Even read what they wrote, dumbest and most obviously fake reviews i have ever seen. Im suprised they know how to write! Maybe they made bottle and entry deals at the door for people with half a brain to write positive reviews! LMFAO. FORGET THIS PLACE IT IS AWFUL. THEIR GAMES ARE A JOKE! MR. WEST IS WHERE ITS AT! I hope everyone makes it a strong point to petition this place and make sure it leaves our wonderful city. GET THE PEOPLE WORKING THERE OUT!

Pros: SO FUNNY READING THE POSITIVE REVIEWS BELOW!!! (go to a real club like 10ak or pink elephant!

Cons: THEY HAVE DISRESPECTFUL, TRASH PEOPLE WORKING THERE, AND THE CLUB IS AWFUL, AND THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY! HAVE FUN WAITING IN THE COLD!

Posted 02/12/09

The loser below uses words like loser because he is a loser. The mens bathroom only has cheap smelling axe, so if your sweating and want to smell the like the Etrash working the door, your set. Otherwise dont go to this awful place. sooo expensive for absolutely nothing. I can also say that the emo rock band that played before the music got pumping sucked. In addiotion, the dj kept messing up. Way to much cigg smoking, some guy with medium blonde hair will say put that out then turn the other cheek. WE WILL SHUT YOU DOWN FOOLS@!!!! smoking indoors is against the law in nyc, and 50 percent of the people are secretly premitted to smoke. AND THE BOUNCER THINKS HE IS IMPORTNAT, he is a small, power tripped person that was my doorman for the night, haha he couldnt even afford a night out there probaly.

Pros: SUPPORTING GLOBAL WARMING NOW~!

Cons: EVERYTHING

Posted 02/12/09

I have been going to this hot spot since it opened in November and have had NO problems at the door, with the staff/clients or anywhere else in the place. The staff is HOT, the crowd is HOT and the music is HOT! Makes me think all these people who wrote bad reviews were there on the same night or something. It's very shocking to see. I work in the industry and have not heard one bad thing about this place, with the exception people not liking the smoking. This place is going to be around for a long time and I am THRILLED!!!

Pros: Absolutely everything!!! Great decor, great crowd, great music and great staff!!!

Cons: The smoking is a little annoying and the drinks a tad overpriced (even for NYC) but TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!

Posted 02/11/09

Went to Greenhouse the other night and absolutely loved it. The music was great and so was the crowd. It got a bit crowded for a minute but it's a new space so I guess that's a good thing. Service was also amazing, I felt like a King. I highly recommend.

Pros: Great music

Cons: Might get too crowded at times.

Posted 02/11/09

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Wanna be club, full of hipsters, and underage teenage boys! The bouncers are a joke and make cash deals at the door! honestly the wort club i have ever been to in nyc. Cool looking place, however I would never go there again. If they changed their management, the bouncers, and the teenage promoters i would consider trying it once more. Please boycott this shit-hole. I love clubs and spend easily 20 grand a year going to clubs, and this place is blindly exclusive. I hope they get shut down!

Pros: It makes you appreciate other clubs

Cons: BOUNCERS are idiots! Teenagers running around! Hipster crowd. Awful DJ's!, and over priced!!!!!!!!! cash deals at the door?!?!

Posted 02/11/09

I have had a fabulous time everytime I have visited Greenhouse. I have had several friend's birthday celebrations there and have yet to be disappointed. Love the decor, great crowd and great music. All of the people who are so angry on this website probably never made it through the door.

Pros: Great music, great crowd beautiful decor.
