I came here for the Cancer Center for Kids Winthrop Hospital charity event. This is a great venue for charity events, weddings and parties. Glad to see it has recovered from Hurrican Sandy. Great setting on the water with both indoor and outdoor tables. The cocktail hour featured both set stations and pass arounds and hard working friendly staff. Dinner was Chateau Briande and Pistachio coated Salmon both done to perfection. The Bridgeview put on a great party for a great cause last night.
Review Source:I'm reviewing the Tuesday night parties that they have in the summer.
This place is almost always packed and full of a lot of sloppy young drunk people. Â It's 18+ to get in, so it's mostly a college crowd. Â I'm a little too old for this place now so I probably won't go back. Â I have been here tons of time though so I'll share my 2 cents.
First the bouncers...they're all  rude and full of themselves, but they do a good job and keeping the place safe.  They're under the impression that they're cops or something, but they're just a bunch of juiced up idiots standing outside of a club checking ID's. There are always several fights throughout the night.  Leave after 2 AM because that's when everyone starts getting belligerent.
Next, the drinks....I like getting beer, but they're so cheap that they actually serve it in the can. Â How trashy is that?! I've tried the cocktail drinks and they seem to put a normal amount of liquor in them so that's good. However, be aware of how much the drinks cost. The bartenders obviously need tips so badly that they'll raise the prices of the drinks, thinking you won't notice, and then keep the extra. One girl stole my money right in front of me. I let her keep it because her life must be so pathetic that she needs to steal a dollar, just to get by...smh.
On to the bathrooms...the girls bathroom is an absolute nightmare. Â The girls cut the line, they get into fights, they're all throwing up in the stalls and doing god knows what else. It's just disgusting to see how girls behave when they've gotten a few drinks in them. Â If you've ever been in this bathroom, you know that the concept of being "lady-like", doesnt exist.
The club itself is nice, the music is usually good. Â The outside area is nice, but reeks of smoke. It's a kind of place you have to go to, to decide whether you like it or not. Â Its a thumbs down for me though.
We just had our High School Reunion at Warehouse 5 - the perfect location for our group and Kathy was a dream ot work with. Â We were lucky to have wonderful weather but the service, food and staff were terrific all around. Â We couldn't get the guests out of there at the end of the night!
Review Source:I had an even at Warehouse 5, which is part of Bridgeview Yacht Club and everything was fantastic. Â I chose Warehouse 5 because I have been looking for a place where adults could enjoy good food and conversation and kids can run around and not bother the adults. Â Warehouse 5 fit the bill perfectly because it's shaped like number 8, with the first circle being a lounge with an open bar and the second circle a more formal sitting area that has large windows, overlooking the water. Â The drinks were very good, even though we did not go with the premium liquor. Â The service was also flawless, especially, our maitre d' who has saved a cherished moment during the celebration. The food was terrific and having grown up going to the best Russian restaurants in Brooklyn where great food keeps on coming all night long, I was a bit apprehensive as this was my first time throwing a big event at a non-Russian place, but everyone really loved it-there were plenty of hors d'ouevres during the cocktail hour and all were tasty. Â The main portion of the reception was done as a buffet with a selection of cold appetizers, salad and hot entrees/sides. Â Not only was there plenty of great food, we have a full bag of leftovers packed for us when we left. Â After everyone had their fill, the kids went crazy on the dance floor, playing games with an MC, the older generation enjoyed the conversation, and my crowd of mid to late 30's spilled onto the outside desk, drinks in hand, just chilling, laughing, enjoying the warm weather. Â I will definitely consider Warehouse 5 for my next event.
Review Source:I went on a Tuesday night when its called something else and its not a wedding hall.
I liked it a lot when it first opened up but I wont go back again. My Bridge-view days are over.
Maybe cause I'm older and the crowed ranges from 18-22 I'm 24 so A little out of place. Â It turned into local high school reunions in the past few years so if you don't know anyone who is going...Don't bother you will be an outcast,
The place is very nice all and all and when I was in the age bracket I did have a great time. Majority of the girls are very attractive and pretty cool but I cant stomach an 18 yr old anymore.
Yes its also your young stereo-type Guido headquarters....and for all you assholes out their...a Guido is not an Italian.
I came here to look at the place as a potential wedding venue. I was slightly disappointed the drive to the place was nicer than the actual venue. The cocktail area felt a little cramped since it wasn't a open space. However the dinning/ballroom area seem to be quite nice since it had tall ceilings draped with lush fabrics. It gave off a more regal appearance. The thing that I didn't like was actually the outdoor area, the patio was pretty small, not really an area where you can walk around with guests. Also in the background you can see the expressway and the lobster shack next door obstructing your view. Maybe it looks better at night but this is no longer in the running for my wedding venue.
Review Source:I attended a wedding here last night and had a great time but while writing this review, I am making sure to separate what the venue offered and what special touches were the brides (DJ, decor).
The couple booked this place from 7:00 PM to 2:00 AM. Cocktail hour was more like "Cocktail Hours" running for two hours, causing dinner to be served close to midnight and dessert after 1:00 AM. Not every wedding venue offers this option so this is a definite plus for those wanting a longer than usual late-night reception.
The reception area is beautiful. The ceiling is draped with a rich looking fabric that adds an elegant "Wow" factor to the room. (I have decided a draped ceiling is a must for when I get married) There are ten chandeliers in the space; two in the mid-line of the room that sparkle with crystals, and four on either side that have a vintage feel. The tables are round and sit ten people. With close to 300 guests, we were all still comfortably seated with ample room to walk from table to table and to the dance floor. I loved that the room felt intimate even though in reality, it was very large. I think the draped ceiling I am such a fan of has something to do with that.
Drinks: I had two cranberry vodkas with a great cranberry to vodka ratio. I can't speak for anyone else's drink of choice but my simple one was A-OK. There was more than one bar in the room, making wait times next to nothing.
First course: House salad with tomato, red onion and aged wine vinaigrette. - I love salads and since I hadn't eaten much at cocktail hour, was looking forward to having any sort of food. The salad tasted like something I make at home all the time. It didn't have anything special about it and that was a let down.
Second Course: Three Cheese Ravioli with a Roasted Tomato Sauce. This was good. The pasta was well cooked and filled with flavorful cheese that had an extra "kick." I chose to brush the roasted tomato sauce to the side, since that didn't appeal to me.
Main Course: Grilled Fillet Mignon with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Brocolli Florettes, and a Red Wine Demi-glace. I didn't eat. My entire table (minus 1) ordered Fillet Mignon as well, and almost everyone's was cooked the opposite of what they wanted. I ordered medium well and it was burned, turning the meat dry, tough and rubbery. Basically, inedible. I could tell the second I tried to cut into it. My sister-in-law ordered medium and it came medium rare with too much pink in there. The mashed potatoes were stiff and too garlicky considering there was nothing else to eat to break up the taste. The brocolli was "eh." My cousins had similar complaints.
Service: The food may not have been good but the service was. Plates disappeared as soon as you were finished.
Dessert: They offer a Viennese Hour but I regrettably had to leave before this started. I saw the set up as I was leaving and I have to say, their assortment of desserts was expansive and everything looked delicious. It would have been nice to load up on sweets since dinner left a lot to be desired.
So, in a nutshell: Beautiful reception room loses stars for mediocre food.
Also, if you are from out of town, bring your GPS. A lot of zig-zagging to get here!
Came here a couple times last summer..I must say it really surprised me. The place is separated into an indoor and outdoor area, which makes it seem like 2 completely different worlds. The indoor area is almost always packed, while the outdoor area is calm and cozy.
The drinks come in cans...it put me off at first, but i got over it. Also, their weren't any drink specials to be seen. The music is your basic blend of dance, hip hop, and mash-ups. The place is pretty sizable, but as i said, it will fill up QUICK. ..I'd recommend it
Good club in Long Island, decor is nice, outdoor lounge area is also very nice with tons of seats and places to just hang out and chill. Music can be a hit or miss depending on the DJ but when the crowd is good it doesn't matter that much. One thing that turned me away the last time I came here they served me beer in a can!! ewww
Review Source:This is my favorite long island club! It has a large dance floor, an open roof room for vip and a very nice deck bar outside for chatting and mingling. The music is mixed very eclectically which is annoying to me, but they do spin enough dance and trance for my liking as well as latin music (and pop/hip-hop/rock/country?). You can actually find people here who will dance with you and who know how to dance! Everyone here owns a boat I know it's a yacht club but it's a little ridiculous, guys are literally like "Hey baby wanna ride my boat?" LOL typical... Mostly though it's really classy and chill here, I've always had fun at bridgeview.
Review Source:A few years back I use to love this place. Â It really is a beautiful club on the water and it's outdoors which makes it so much nicer. Â I haven't been there in awhile, I think I just grew out of that whole scene, but it really is a great place to go and have fun with your friends - dance and have a few drinks.
