Visited here 1 time in 2019 from Japan. I had no idea how enjoyed night clubs in NYC this time trip. And the main event for me was on the next day, Saturday. That was Rhadoo from Romania. Found this night club at RA mobile. Nowadays, Jay Daniel & more. Made sure of coming here tonight. At the door, I read some regulations in this club. Guessed the possibility of committing a crime was higher than in Japan. Entering with a little anxiety. I purchased some beers at the bar and danced a lot. 2 of DJs were so nice & I talked some young people at the out side deck. When I entered it about 0:30 midnight, then it started snowing. But I thought easily it would stop soon. No problem. After dancing & drinking a lot around 6:30 AM, noticed there were much more snow & keeping snowing. I was shocked & shamed NYC was so cold. Connected to Uber & got to my hotel. That was my great memory in NYC.

I had an incredible time at the Nonstop party at Nowadays! Kilopatrah Jones's house set was fire, and she's definitely an artist to watch. The crowd was friendly and all about the music, and the venue itself has a great mix of indoor and outdoor space. Love the free water stations and the plants everywhere. I went at noon and stayed way later than planned – it was hard to leave! Make sure you dress comfortably (dark colors fit the vibe) and get ready for a seriously good dance experience.

Nowadays runs a pretty awesome music program-- love Mr Sundays and their movie nights! Best yard in Brooklyn.

Alberto and emmanuel are exceptional bartenders. Make sure they are the ones making your drinks.

Posh: 🍾🍾 Kinsey: 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 The cover ranges based on when you enter and if you got a discounted ticket. If you enter before midnight and have the discounted ticketed, you pay $10-15. Otherwise, tickets can be upwards of $40. There are no tables for bottle service but there are tables for eating as there’s a small restaurant in the venue. The male:female ratio is roughly even. The main rules enforced are no leering/staring, no talking on the dance floor, no phones on the dance floor. Most people abide by the first and third rule and there a staff throughout the venue that are accessible so if someone makes you feel uncomfortable, you can file a complaint. The patrons are very diverse and clothing does not follow a particular style. However, the club can feel isolating if you go by yourself because people tend to socialize more in cliques than other clubs in Brooklyn. Music was an equal balance of house and techno.

food is good bars great but the place over books on weeknights nowhere to dance or move start charging more per ticket and cut the capacity in half. ‍

Huge beer garden with plenty of space for large groups. Came here on a Tuesday night and had a great time. Bartenders were friendly and quick. About a dozen beers on draft. Food vendors on premise.…

Kool place recommend getting tickets before going. dance floor, bar, outdoor area separated. Plenty of seating out side it was cold when i went and they had a few bonfires going. Loved the tacos here🤤

The venue seems to be pretty big, I didn't get a chance to visit the indoor portion but I also didn't cover all the outside ground parts. Overall, it was okay- drinks were weak and expensive plus s…

Website says tickets on the door but turned up waited 2.5hrs at the front of the queen and after still not getting in, bounced. Meant to be a good party but would get tickets next time.

Music was fine but the staff are incredibly stuck up and riding a power trip. Two different employees wouldn’t tell me where the exit was when asked, with one of them was just blatantly ignoring me. Also, $50 for a ticket on a weekday for mid is insane. Not going back.

first time going over halloween, it was fun but im not sure I would go back… the venue itself is honestly really small, dance floor was MUCH smaller than expected. if you’ve been to basement, this is about 10% of their floor plan. its a tiny tiny spot. theres also a constant use of a smoke machine, which is a vibe for about 5 minutes, after that it makes it impossible to see anything. the staff itself was not welcoming or friendly at all, which is unfortunately kind of a standard. in their little speech before letting you in, they said that there are employees with glowing red wristbands walking around that you can go to if you dont feel safe or if someone is making you uncomfortable. we were there for 4 hours and never saw a single glowing red wristband…wont be back.

The staff discourages people from meeting new people, even when new people are looking at you warmly, giving you signs to engage them.

sorry but i hated this place, the venue itself is cool but the people are horrendous. just horrendous vibes from the bouncers, horrendous vibes from the music, and everyone looked sad to be there. …

Worst bar ever. Chris and Badger, two security guards, are sooooo misogynistic. They pointed me and my friends out and had us wait in line for two hours even though they knew they weren't going to …

Save your money. Bought tickets just to be manhandled by security at the door while putting a wrist band on. Forced to stand in the freezing cold for like 10 minutes only to get in and see a basically empty bar. $15 shots and the absolute nastiest service I have EVER received. I get that it’s a holiday weekend and it’s late, but y’all are bartenders. Comes with the job. Finally, the music was terrible, just haunted house sounds over a techno beat. There’s a million other places in NYC that you can get ripped off for cheaper.

Bouncers were incredibly rude and standoffish. One dropped something she was holding and made my friend pick it up?? After that we were led into a tiny tiny room where we were instructed by staff to not be discriminatory or touch anyone without their consent. Which are obviously great rules but usually don’t need to be said. if you have to preface a venue with that it makes me wonder what goes on. Went through all that to spend 27$ on two well shots and be treated very rudely by bartenders when I asked if a guy had touched my drink while she poured it. Outside area is nice but the dance floor/djs and bar were horrible.

I don't think the ratings here are accurate. It's one of the worst places I've ever been to. The staff is incredibly rude. I saw it on the New York recommended places forum and went. I realized the person who recommended it was an employee there when I saw it there. You might have chosen this shoddy, staff-heavy establishment because you wanted to have fun and spend quality time with your friends. My only wish for you is that you have a better experience than I did.

Lynda Qin

Horrible, pretentious people at the door that will not let you in unless you know exactly which DJs are playing at that exact moment, regardless if you came to see a different artist. This establishment is the antithesis of what the New York music scene is about - discovering new, unknown artists at fun venues with your friends. I was in a group of 6 people and Nowadays bouncers cost every DJ there the opportunity to gain more fans tonight. Absolute disgrace of a music venue.

Caroline Addeo

I’ve visited Nowadays several times and had always considered it a safe and welcoming space. However, tonight’s experience was incredibly disappointing. After purchasing tickets, we were approached with a gatekeeping attitude, essentially a "who do you know here?" moment, and because we didn’t recognize the DJ by name, we were removed from the line. We were nearly denied a refund simply because we couldn’t identify the DJ after being unexpectedly turned away. My friends and I have always supported local DJs and artists, and it’s deeply upsetting to be excluded from a space that claims to be inclusive and community-driven. If you value acceptance, respect, and genuine inclusivity, I strongly urge you to reconsider going to this venue.

A major disappointment. I had heard good things about Nowadays and I was excited to go, but I don’t think I’ll go back. I attended the Mister Sunday event with my friends. At Nowadays, I saw at least 5 children and infants. I am not sure why they were there and how the venue allowed parents to bring their kids to a clubbing venue. One kid tried to take my alcohol drink. Honestly a vibe kill. Music was bad. Bathroom was dirty and disgusting. Overall, wouldn’t recommend.

This place used to be real. Now it's become mad corny. They give you speeches before you go in and preach safe space rhetoric. I was discriminated against because of my religious conviction. I got to the door and the security person did not respect the fact that I have an idé - a religious article, a bracelet that represents something spiritual on my wrist. She insisted on placing the band around my wrist and when I asked if other accommodation could be made, she said well what you want to do..either I put this on your wrist or you can't get in. No conversation, no discussion, no attempt at understanding. This just seems to fly against the mantra of what this place is trying to project. When they first started they were about something organic but now the place is played out. The outdoor park is nice but the club is contrived and artificially curated, nothing spontaneous. It's for hipsters, and cats that don't know what the New York City dancing is really about. Wake up and see it for what it really is... CORNY.. for hipsters only. You know who You are.
