To further elaborate on NYMuscleJoey's review

The last 4 times my best friend and I went to Club 57,we wounded up leaving at 1A.M.The party has been a joke from day one.Charging people $15-20 plus watered down $10+ drinks,they dont open the House Music room til 12:30 so if you get there early you are stuck listening to insufferable Top 40 music in the lower level.The venue itself is a DUMP.Security is intrusive.Again,Top 40 does not draw the crowds.If you are gonna force us to listen to that crap,lower the general cover to $10 and offer free admission before midnight (keep the 1 hour open bar).The place is always dead.ROXY was a gay club with HOUSE MUSIC "all nite long" and the place was always packed.Why cant these promoters take a lesson from that?Each time Peter Rauhofer does his WORK! parties,he gets a club packed to the rafters.I would expect Club 57 to be dead this weekend since Peter Rauhofer is playing District 36.The promoters for Club 57 are offering no cover/open bar til 11pm for the summer but they are gonna have to do alot better than that.Maybe if they chose a *real* club for this party and dropped the Top 40 cheese and brought in the House Music,the results would be different.Overall,Club 57 may not last past the summer.Gay nightlife better get its sh** together,seriously.We use to have the best club scene:World class DJs,cutting edge House Music,attractive men of all races,great live performances.There is nothing cutting edge about it right now,just embarrassing frenetic queens prancing around to overplayed Gaga and Katy Perry.I hope it gets better soon.

Getting worse

I was at this place couple of weeks ago on Saturday nite at 1 PM. There was practically no one at this club. May be expensive covr charge, expensive drinks, bad bartenders. Everyone at 1pm was shoved to downstairs with Latin dancing. There were not enough people to open the main dance floor or upstairs with house music. People were leaving this place around 1-2 pm when it's supposed to be busy. Here are some things to improve this place. Lower your cover charge. NYC is very competitive. There Are so many clubs and parties. Get good bartenders that make stiff drinks. You don't need too many security people in a gay club. Lose the damn attitude . NYC is diverse with lots a good looking people.

So much fun

So I don't go to clubs a lot. I find them too big, and just not my style. This was probably the best time I've had in years. The 3 different floors and kinds of music ensured that everyone had a good time. The music was great in all 3 areas, I had such a good time. I stayed until almost 4 am, something that I've never done at any club, it's that much fun.
