Seven One Ocho

Oh no!  This is not the spot!  If you want to party cheap than yeah come here, but if I'm putting down money, I understand the concept of receiving the equivalence of what you're paying.

Atmosphere: Small, no sort of decor, just an average spot.  Bathrooms, oh my goodness, who came up with the design for this.  I see people's silhouettes and some... my friend and I had this great show of 2 gay guys getting down in the bathroom, really? And then in the other booths, people throwing up, one person passed out, it's safe to say there is no regulation.  Sticky floors, spilled drinks, do we have a cleaning staff?

The crowd: Well based on what was going on in the bathroom, anyone could get in.  Groups of young reckless kids.

Music: It was alright, danceable, and mixed genres.  The sound system however... actually it was okay too, I've heard worse.

Drinks:  They were actually okay, not the best, not the worse.

Staff:  Bouncers were cool, bartenders were quick and attentive.  Staff was good.

I'll give this place 2 stars for their staff, but as far as the actual lounge...eh, there's so many more spots out there!

This place is pretty cool! Came here for my friends 30th birthday.

Its directly on queens blvd, corner spot. Its cool, not so big, but its set up nicely. Large bar on one side, DJ, dance floor and table service on the other side. Long hallway in the back where there are about 5ish single person restrooms. Never had to wait, there was a very helpful restroom attendant chick guiding us....lol Bathrooms pass the clean test, well stocked, mirror and sink, as it should be. I'm seeing some places put the sinks and mirrors outside the restroom so that you have to wash your hands and do your make up check with everyone else.....certainly not my cup tea folks!

Okay so we get there 11:30ish, parking not a problem, plenty of street parking. It was free before 12 so bouncers were playing the normal "hold the line" game. I wasn't sure if we needed to wait online being that we were there for a birthday, so I go tell the bouncer who is about 10 feet taller than me, he looks up into the sky and says "Vanessa is inside, you gotta wait on line"......seemed like a power trip gone wrong type thing....like I want to be on a power trip but I'm not sure how to do it rite....LOL  Normally birthdays have there own line or guest don't have to wait, okay got it....this is not one of those places! WatEV, line wasn't long and the honey was holding my spot. We got in before 12, no charge, yippee!

They have a VIP area next to the dance floor that's "risen" so it kind of over looks the dance floor. They have seating for bottle service/hookah around the dance floor also. We sat in the "risen" area, the seating by the dance floor looked like it could get tight if gets crowed. My friend got a great deal on 3 bottles and hookah. I hear that they sometimes have bottle specials, and have great bottle service prices on Fridays.

The staff is super friendly and on top of there game, must of cleaned our table off 10 times through out the night. I like that, I don't want to be chasing after a waitress for more ice! P

they played everything....reggae, reggaeton, hip hop, salsa, merengue, bachata, Rihanna, Pitbull all the good stuff. Shout out to DJ New Era and DJ Abrupt, one of them was representing hard for the Puerto rocs!...LUVED THAT!

Place got kind of packed, but not too packed like you want to go home status. Crowd was nice and chill.

they are supposedly "dress coding" at the door, bouncer charged one guy 5 bucks before 12 because he had sneakers. I did see some girls looking a little "I thought I was going to the park" type clothing, but I guess females can get away with it.

We had a great time and we are definitely coming back. Birthday gal had a blast, and seemed pretty satisfied....lol

PS...I tried to be specific since I am the first person to review this place, will write an update when I go back! (this place is new, but has been open since like sept 2012, so I can't believe no one has reviewed it!)
