Ikon Lounge

The first time I came here I vowed never to return. And then I came back like 5 months later because one of our friends had never been and was curious.

Both times I went it was Wildlife Wednesdays. Now, the only way I can describe Wildlife Wednesdays is...is...well, I guess they try to pretend Wednesdays are Saturdays. That's the only way I can really describe it. And it does get packed like a Saturday despite it being the middle of the week.

However, it takes until midnight for that to happen generally. But it does happen.

$5 self park fee (sweet!). Park where there's light so no one breaks into your car...that $5 fee doesn't come with security silly. What are you? A liberal?????

Doors open at 9 PM and we have never had to pay a cover. Last time I went,  Men 21+ got in for free until 10 PM. Ladies 21+ had an hour more to get in for free. What this means is...yes...Wednesdays are also Teen Night.

Yay.

Now, if you are a certain age and like picking up individuals of a considerably lower age than yours at the club that is on you. I think it's weir---interesting....to be 28 and interested in an 18 year old.

There are certainly more people here who are allowed to drink than those that aren't if that makes you feel better. You won't bump into the ICONic Boyz.

I only go to clubs to make huge dance circles and reenact You Got Served. So, maybe I'm a little judgmental since I've never had the urge to buy a girl a drink, get numbers or get involved in Jersey Turnpiking. When a girl comes up to me at any club and asks to dance, I think about it and say "I can't. Doesn't happen in You Got Served."

The second time I went I found out they had a second floor here. It was the hip hop floor and just like all hip hop floors at any club (Webster Hall) it's a dwarf version of every other generes floor at said club.

Which was fine with me. The DJ kept playing Gucci or something. Ratchet beats I think it's called. The only rapping I like is when Mike Shinoda does it in Linkin Park.

Drinks were like $4 the last time I went. Not bad at all. Water was not free. LOL. Check the poster for the night you're going. There's usually some deal. Oh, and when we went there was a dance contest.

Some of these kids took this thing serious as hell.

I'ma wrap this up...come here if you wanna dance. People dance. The music isn't half bad...there's two DJs...I don't think they've ever sucked simultaneously.

I personally will only come here on special occasions.

And by special occasions I mean the world is about to end and the only way for it to be saved is if I do the Electric Slide on the dance floor here.

Amazing place. My friends and I went on a Saturday night for my birthday and saw the Savage Men downstairs before going up to the actual club for the after party. The Stoli fishbowl pitchers were amazing, the DJ was great, and overall it was just perfect. My girls and I will DEFINITELY be back.

Usually go on Fri nights with friends for the gay night; it's a very hit or miss place. Sometimes I have a fantastic time, others it's very weak.

First off, the energy there is always incredible; almost everyone in the main room is dancing, having a fantastic time not a care in the world which I love.

Though, not everyone on the dancefloor is as cool as it seems from afar. A lot of the time when I'm dancing with a stranger they try to grab my crotch and a lot of people are just complete sleezes there. Almost everyone is looking for some cock to suck, which kinda kills my mood because I love to dance with people I don't know.

Another bad thing would be that fucking annoying "BRRRRGGHHHHH!"  horn that goes off literally EVERY 20 minutes. And honestly, can that place find someone else other than Steve Sidewalk for ONE damn Friday!?! If you're coming to iKon expect Top 40 music non-stop. It would be nice to hear some Euro-tunes to switch it up; you can literally turn on z100, sip a cosmo, and pretend you're at iKon inside of your car.

A big plus is the staff though; crazy nice and reasonable, which is extremely refreshing based off the NYC spots I've been to.

Not a complete MUST GO spot, but it won't disappoint (too much, if at all). Very very awesome energy (with the exception of some creeps) and great LITs makes iKon a pretty decent spot to hang when your main NYC plans fall through.
