Den Social Lounge - New York, New York

This place is an absolute mess! The guard at the entrance is super rude, but the Korean manager? He's the biggest joke of all. He acts like a dictator and thinks he's some big shot, but honestly, he's just a lonely guy walking down the street, trying to feel important. It’s like he believes his little power trip in this place makes him special or something. Inside, it’s a total nightmare. The guards are always in the way, telling us to move, even when we’re just trying to have fun on the dance floor. They shine their flashlights on everyone like it’s some sort of party trick! I see their flashlights more than I see the lights on stage! It’s ridiculous. I can’t believe I wasted my time here. I’ll never come back!

Traveled from DC and decided to get a table for 6 on a Friday night and had an amazing time (first time I've been to NYC, but my group had gone last year, went to Mission, and hated it).

Showed up at around 10:50 PM since you gotta show up by 11, or else they reserve the right to resell the table (which is understandable/typical amongst clubs), and slowly got busier. Music was great! Staff was kind, walked me through using their app, Apollo ID, to order bottles, and even upgraded us over from the mezzanine to VIP corner later in the night. They weren't pushy on trying to hit a minimum, but I went ahead and got another bottle, since when in Rome...

Security was cool too, no complaints. Shout out to Daniel for a fun experience! Will definitely be back again.

honestly pretty fun. good music, got pretty packed inside. there was a huge line but since we were a big group we got bottles and could skip the line. minimal interaction with the bouncers but they weren't overly friendly. overall vibes felt slightly pretentious but still fun.

Den Social excels in making clubbing a fun experience! Best night are Thursdays 😉 when it comes to choice of DJ, & safety of party goers with wonderful bouncers. (They’re also friendly and open to talk with if you go up to them in the club) Drinks taste good & party wise it’s a good time.

When it comes a club experience I try to get in early on dot to get in to avoid longer wait times on line. But in general at Den they will move swiftly as best as possible. Apollo ID is an app used to purchase tickets to Den on a cheaper scale there are different membership options but personally it can still give you a good deal without paying for it monthly to upgrade (tho you do get more perks still) I usually will go on a Thursday.

If you can get passed the line wait time if you go later during prime time you will have a great time 🙂

lol don’t come here, incredible waste of time for everyone. Everyone that rates this place a 5 is a paid actor or affiliated with this place in some shape or form. Security guards and bouncer don’t let anyone in even when it’s empty inside.

I don’t understand why anyone would like this place. Maybe the club hype is just beyond me, but this place was horrible, coming from a person who likes to be around loud music and party. A basic tequila lemonade was $16…which of course went down like water and felt like nothing. The place was so packed that everyone’s bodies were up against each others, the vibe felt so stiff and the bouncers and security that separates the dance floors were so incredibly rude for no reason. I understand having to be stern, but there’s no reason to straight up disrespect ppl who paid $20 to get in, and then almost $20 for 1 alc drink. I will truly never come back here. It’s probably better to heavily pregame, come with a squad of friends(not just 1 or 2), and come prepared to throw an elbow. I lost an earring because of how physical it was on the dance floor. What’s the point in having a line outside and making ppl wait to get in if it’s going to be incredibly congested in there anyway? Absolutely not. Goodbye. Tourists and non native NYers can keep this place.

They made us wait an hour and a half in line, didn’t tell us about any cover fee until we were at the door. When we finally got there they said $20 cover fee…. Like…
Bouncers also let in groups of men who were willing to pay for 500$ tables, and even encouraged them to scout girls to join them. Though not technically the guy’s faults, it definitely is a weird tactic to make guys pay for a 500$ table AND beg girls in line to join them so they can reach “ratio”. Go here if you want to basically bid your entire bank account to skip the line!

The club was terrible. The music was awful, and the security staff were racist. When my friend was talking to his girlfriend on the dance floor, one of the security guards choked and pushed him to the ground without saying a word. Then, a random staff member came up and started talking trash to my friend without knowing the situation.
