Cielo

Amazing venue and party. I work here and all the best nightclubs in NYC. Textme at #(917)670−3532 for guest list and table reservations. I will getyou the best possible deal at the best price.

This was just a random shot that we took during halloween party in 2015. But yes, it was not bad at all. We were group of 10 and took a table for $ 1000 which included two bottles of grey goose and a scotch. It was pretty packed, but the crowd was decent completely.
The reason I am giving 4 star is because, I felt it little pricy, plus the table that we paid for was not worth it as it was right at the edge of dance floor. And so random people kept coming, and kept sitting on it, sometimes even having a drink or two. It was so dark and that we couldn’t even notice sometimes.
But yes, I would def try it out once again during a random weekend just to see how it is during a normal weekend.

Door girl is a dick a real low life. No studio 54, bouncers smell they better shower forced coat check shit drinks and uuuugly girls omg what a dump

This place was ok the people were rude… Just because you buy a table doesn’t mean you own a place… On a up note the Dj was amazing, cover was expensive $ 30 really hmmmmm NO!

I would give this place no stars if it were an option. I called ahead and reserved a table for bottle service for my friend’s birthday and was promised a set price that I could pay cash for at the door.
When we got to the club around midnight, we were questioned at the door and almost not even allowed entry when there was no line at all. It was only once I mentioned having a table they allowed us in where we had to wait in a small overhang that was half outside. mind you it was 20 degrees.
It was only after 5 minutes did I get the pleasure to be in the presence of the nastiest woman who demanded that I give her my card to charge the table. I informed her that I wanted to pay in cash and she gave me nothing but an attitude all while trying to over charge me an extra $ 50 than I was initially quoted.
After that headache of an experience, we were lead to our table which was basically a stool on the floor and on top of the party next to us. They gave no presentation when bringing over the bottle, nor were they in any way attentive to us the entire night. To top it all off, the bottle of vodka that was given to us was so watered down it didn’t even smell like alcohol. The security for the VIP section was non existent, and we had multiple people coming over to our table throughout the night trying to get a drink off of us. It wasn’t even possible for our entire party to go to the dance floor at once. Not that we wanted to anyway; the dance floor was smaller than their bathroom.
After attempting to go dance, we come back to our table to see all of our full glasses were cleared off the table along with our bottle that still had a drinks worth of alcohol in it. Overall it was an atrocious experience and I advise against anyone ever going here.

Amazing Venue! I work here and all the best nightclubs and lounges in New York City. For guest list, express entry and the best deals on bottle service, text me at 917−670−3532. Also, text me for free bottle service and entry for birthday and bachelorette groups of 15 or more.

Lol this place serves bad, expensive drinks, charges a 20 dollar cover, makes you check your coat for more money and stillllll sucks. The bartender misunderstood which drinks were going on my tab after ordering with my friends. When i asked her to sort it out she decided not to be friendly and help but sigh so loud she might as well have said «fuck you». Bad music, layout and vibes too. Do not come here, save your entire night and go anywhere else.

Honestly way too much money for small drinks. The coat check was said to be «mandatory» by the staff member behind the cash register who yelled at whomever didn’t want to check their coats. Because although it was «mandatory,» they had large signage indicating they would not be responsible for lost or damaged items. Finally, the security guard and cash register had poor communication with one another, despite just being about 3 feet apart, which resulting in the guard placing their hands on you and pushing you back despite the cash register staff saying you could enter into the club. It’s difficult to appreciate the fog, lights and disco balls when getting in is a hassle and the small drinks are too expensive

We came here as the lost stop on a bar crawl. The drinks were pricey but it’s a fun, intimate club in the meatpacking district.

Someone else posted this:
«COME HERE ON A MONDAY! If you show them a flyer (which you can get from the website, I think?) there is an open bar from 10 – 11.»
It is exactly what I was about to say.
Been here twice, pretty chill time (both times on a Monday).
Bring the flyer on your phone or you may have a tough time at the door, one of my friends ended up paying twenty bucks because he didn’t know he had to show it.
— — — —
I had given a higher review, but this last time they forced me to check my light jacket and pay their high «coat check» fee prior to entering.
Review lowered based on this.
Also, they limit it to two drinks now.
…downhill

Place is trash. Save your $ 30+ of cover and go down the block to Brass monkey. The music is just off; the crowd really strange for meat packing district. Not worth it.

COME HERE ON A MONDAY! If you show them a flyer (which you can get from the website, I think?) there is an open bar from 10 – 11. For a nice club in meatpacking, that is a pretty sweet deal. The setup for this place is very cool, there are lights everywhere on the walls, and then the dance floor is in the middle with lots of couches on the perimeter of the room. I haven’t been on a weekend but I would expect these to become VIP areas then. However, on a monday they are open to all. The DJ’s are not super well known but they were very good overall when I went last Monday. One of them was spinning too much jamaica-​me-​crazy music but then it got back to more traditional deep house (including some trap, which i am always a big fan of!).

Went to Cielo for a ‘weird’ dance party a friend invited me to. I’ve been here before and the space is nice. The party was fun and DJs were good. Despite this, I am giving a low rating because of the automatic gratuity. I generally give 18−20% gratuity at bars and restaurants and would have done so voluntarily tonight as well. I was very peeved, however, when I went to close my (individual) tab and was told there was automatic gratuity of 20% included. I was never informed of this ahead of time and did not see any conspicuously posted signs (or any signs at all) stating that there was an automatic gratuity. It is actually ILLEGAL to do this and I am so disappointed that Cielo is trying to con people by not giving advance notice of automatic gratuity charges.

I got robbed here on a Monday night.
1. $ 20 cover… On a MONDAY?
2. Mandatory coat check
3. $ 30 for 2 drinks and the woman added $ 6 for automatic gratuity… $ 6 can buy lunch. Why do I have to buy the woman lunch for pouring me 2 vodka sodas?
4. They don’t serve beer.
The DJ wasn’t even cool, music was lame and crowd was not fun. This place is looking for a handout. There are plenty of fun places to go to on a Monday that’s not this place.

Never seen so many H&M button downs in my life. I was enjoying the music, and two idiots were discussing how they are going to get home right in front of the booth. Go outside and talk it out.
Let’s not forget the ‘staff with a bright flashlight’ checking for stuff every 5 minutes. Get glasses dude.
Bartenders were friendly, the guy running the bathroom was nice.
Bouncers were the worst; coat check this, and that pay this and that.
You can say the same thing in a nicer tone and come across as a professional.
What takes the cake is the disrespectful, arrogant shell of a woman that manned the entrance.
If she is not the owner; you should probably put the guy running the bathroom in her place and let her do his job.
She is too cool to look at the guest list. Too cool to speak to you. I’m not on the list then all of a sudden I’m on the list. She won’t answer any questions. Threatened to deny me entrance for asking a simple question.
Her aura reeked if unhappiness and killed my mood. If you are reading this; your hat wasn’t that great, and nobody was impressed by you or the establishment.
On my way out I barely ran into some girl that was hiding in the dark corner with her (boyfriend?) as I was going through the bathroom traffic.
Her boyfriend grabs my arm like I killed somebody and tried to move/​push me. I think he realized that he was too weak to manipulate my arm.
I looked at my arm as he was trying to push/​pull it then looked at him and decided this was not going to go anywhere, so I helped him out and showed him how to do it properly.
Broke the grip; so he starts the ‘yapping’ blah, blah. Do something or move on fella.
All of a sudden bouncer rushes in and tells me to ‘chill out’ 100 times. Mind you, the weak little manmore was almost twice my size.
After hearing ‘chill out’ over and over I decided to continue my journey to the nearest exit.
My walk from Cielo was more fun than the whole Cielo experience.

Worst club in existence. Would give this place zero stars if I could.
Horrible and rude customer service. RSVP’d for an event and had friends with a table, but got there a little bit after the time the free price was honored. Ticket said they would honor reduced cover after 12, and that’s what we were told at the door. Yet, when we went inside to pay the woman would not honor the price. When she called in the hostess to ask her, the hostess explicitly lied and said she in no way told us there was reduced cover.
The attitude of the women collecting cover was something else as well. She had this horrid bark and would yell at the customers. We were trying nicely to talk to her, yet all she could do was scream back in return.
Disgusting attitude and ridiculous prices. Who would pay 60 for a 3^rd rate, shitty club?
Solid zero stars.

First time coming to Cielo and probably my last.
We came here on a Saturday night at around 1am. The wait outside was maybe 5min and then we were led to the lady in the front and had to pay a cover charge of $ 30 per person (both guys and girls); which I though was completely ridiculous. Drinks were pretty pricey as well, but it’s NYC so that’s a given.
— Music was fine. It was mostly EDM and trance music.
— The strobe lights and stuff were crazy but pretty cool. Felt like I was having a seizure though haha.
— The club itself is pretty small as is the dance floor. Many people were dancing but it was a very weird crowd.
— Bathrooms were clean and had a few amenities.
— Bartenders were friendly and fun!
— Have to pay for coat check. I think it was $ 4?
Overall, not a horrible place but definitely come here only if you’re already drunk or on drugs.

I have been Cielo a number of times and as I always know the DJs who is going to play for the night, I always had a good time as I enjoyed the music.
It is true that the dance floor is TINY, but somehow I always manage to find places to dance, the good thing about it that there is a small couch area and also an outdoor patio where you can sit down to take a rest if you don’t have a table.
It is a pretty chilled club, not as pretentious as many others in the city, yet the crowd is still quite decent… well at least those nights when I was there!
I will always come back when they have good DJs spining!

Best club we visited in NYC! Great music and vibes, and the lights were super cool. We came to enjoy the music, and we definitely got what we came for. There were also giant subwoofers on the side that we sat on, and the bass was definitely at work!
Had a great time here– the club is pretty small, but there is a nice patio area. Definitely hitting up this place next time I’m in town!

This place confirmed my opinion on the NYC nightlife scene — IT SUCKS!!! (I had to give it 1 star because Unilocal MADE me… in reality it deserves NOTHING)
I would not even recommend this place even to my arch nemesis.
Where do I begin? If you’ve ever wondered what hell is like, go to Cielo. There it is. Hell smacked right into your face.
Previous to coming to NYC, I asked friends on the east coast, what NYC’s best nightclub is. Having previously been to Pacha, I told them to recommend me something else — ¹⁰⁄₁₀ recommended Cielo, so I had high hopes going in. Let’s just say that my friends must really hate me if they recommended this place.
I came here the other week for the Subculture NYC pre-​party — first off the outside of the club is beyond sketchy. There’s construction going on and the entrance into the club is so small that you could walk right by it and not see it.
The first thing I thought of when I stepped into the club was «I done f***ed up and landed in Miami Vice». It was like a failed attempt to be a Vegas club — truth be told, this place looks better in pictures than it does in person. I go to the bar which is right at the entrance and order a drink (Adiós Motherf**er/AMF) — the bartender said she doesn’t know how to make it, so I pulled out my phone to show the her the ingredients. She then claimed she didn’t have the ingredients and refused to serve me (Ummm…it’s a freakin long island with blue Curaçao!!). After waiting 10 more minutes, I was able to flag down another bartender to make me the same drink (which was weak and more watered down than Joel Osteen’s gospel presentation).
I then proceeded to meet up with my friends who were at the front of the club near the booth. As I was walking a sloppy drunk chick bumped into me and made me spill my drink all over the both of us (mind you this was around 11:30 pm so the night was still young). To top it off, as I’m wiping myself off, I feel someone grind up behind me — I turn around and look only to see a 70 year old man (YES — 70) trying to dance with me. Sorry honey, but you’re gonna need about 7 more 0’s in your bank account before I even talk to you, let alone dance with you.
The club is literally the size of my closet, so as the next hour went by, the sardine can of a «club» kept getting more and more packed. To top it off, there was no fan or air condition going on — this place became hell in the most literal way possible. It got so packed that people were taking more shots to the ribs than being in a ring with Mike Tyson.
As you walk into the dancefloor, you’re slapped across the face with strobe lights which I’m sure will induce a seizure — imagine yourself in that scene in the original Willy Wonka where they’re on the boat and going through that acid trip tunnel — now imagine that scene extended and molded into a club, and then imagine wanting to kill yourself and everyone around you as each second passes. THAT’S EXACTLY HOW CIELO IS.
After staying for an hour, I told my friends that I couldn’t take it and that I wanted to leave. They tried to convince me to stay by buying a table for our group of 30 friends (most of which were from LA or SoCal) so I obliged. The «table» was so small it literally only fit about two people and since the tables are on the dancefloor (with no velvet rope or bouncer around it), we opted to buy TWO tables on the other side of the DJ booth.
Now let’s get into the bottle service itself — the Bride of Chucky reject bottle service girl was rude and unprofessional — she never came by to check on how we were doing, and on top of that, they tried to make my friend who paid for the table, walk ALLLLLL the way across the club to sign a receipt. REALLY?
Needless to say I will NEVER come here again. If Jesus himself came down and offered me the position to rule the entire world, I would say no. This was literally one of the worst clubs I’ve ever experienced — even all my friends from LA thought the same thing as well. I’ve never seen a group of people so much more miserable at a club, than I did that night.
If this is the «best club NYC has to offer», then I don’t wanna know what the worst one is.

I’m publicly shaming businesses that refuse to serve water for free. Cielo has a policy to not give free water, but only has (miniature) bottles of Evian for $ 6 plus forced 20% gratuity. I don’t care if this is Meatpacking — it’s incredibly rude and offensive to customers (and unsafe). I actually thought this was illegal and a built in stipulation to most liquor licenses. Unfortunately this is not the case. If you have plumbing, you should be obligated to provide water at no charge (especially if you’re already buying other drinks).
So disappointing they decided to be inhumane about this, because everything else (the sPeAkErSSS and the BASSSSS) was great! When I got tired I hopped up on a subwoofer and hung out for a bit, felt like I was riding an earthquake!

When it’s time to dance, Cielo is part of my top three choices when push comes to shove. The first time I was here, it was an unplanned club outing — and a weeknight. There was quite the Fashion Week crowd, which probably explained the cover.
Fan of EDM? You’ll be right at home. For best results, check ahead of time to see who and who’s playing that night. No matter who’s performing, their sound system’s top notch.
Even though the venue is the size of a breadbox, I find it reasonably easy to navigate about. Bring a few friends and enjoy.

Get to the Chase:
Pros:
1) There for John 00 Fleming, and it was out of this world
2) Decently-​sized dance floor
3) People actually dance (none of that I’m too rich and pretentious to dance)
4) Friendly ticket counter staff
5) Bouncers are not on power trips
6) Fantastic acoustics
7) May have just discovered (better late than never) the one club in Manhattan that is worth going to
Cons:
1) Gotta give it to these floor moppers, they are diligent as hell…“Please make way for the mop” every 5 seconds
2) At some point there were cops in the club and they shoved people aside as they were going to the exit… no idea why they were being so aggressive
3) Drinks of course are a little pricey but that’s to be expected (prepare to pay $ 18 for two bottles of water)

Plz don’t believe the great reviews like I did first they force you to pay for coat check. Then you pay your cover (granted). Then you get in however it’s all the rejects of any place you have ever wanted to be! The worst. More guys than girls almost more gay (male) bar than dance club which is fine if they has advertised that way. I wish I could post my pictures to my post. Plz enter at t
Your own $ 50 per person risk!

Ahhh, that muthafuqin bass!!! The sound system is off the hook!
Oh my goodness! I haven’t been here in a minute, but I can still feel the pumping, bumping bass from the deep house music coursing throughout my body… love it!!! I always made it a point to stand directly in front of the speaker on the dance floor so I can feel the music. Granted, the dance area is small but space to dance can easily be made.
Club heads know what I’m talking about. You come prepared to dance and not just stand there for styling and profiling.
The drinks I heard can be expensive, I guess. The times I’ve been there I’ve never had to purchase my own, plus we always pre-​game. As for the cover, to get in it’s generally $ 20+ or free for ladies, depending on the night and who’s DJing.
After dancing up a sweat you can cool off in the back patio, get your energy restored and then go back in for more dancing.
The many times I’ve been it has always been Deep House music, which works for me!
