ℳ𝒶𝓎♍April 20, 20191 oak represents the glitz nightlife of NYC, notorious for being very selective with their guests which is part of its aura. Music is banging and staff is pretty chill and friendly for the most part
Soiree GroupApril 28, 2012One of the few spots left in NYC that has not succumbed to a commercial scene. There's no shortage of cool kids and celebrity DJs stay in rotation, so don't think you can just walk up to the door. Read more
Christina ChinSeptember 14, 2017Fun dj music but i went for special event on wed so don't know how it is on normal night
Julie SosciaJanuary 29, 2019Still one of the most popular clubs in NYC with great dance music. Don't order anything fancy at the bar - stick to simple mixed drink.
Alexander HennNovember 12, 2017Could be a good club. But the DJs are the worst ever - it's like playing 30 sec of each crappy song. If you don't care about music and alcohol is all you need to get the party started give it a try.
Classic NY hotspot. Door is difficult but worth it when you get in.
ChristopherMay 4, 2015Don't actually sit on the seats when you get a table, sit up on top of the booth backs.
- Julie SosciaAugust 1, 2018Still one of the most popular clubs in NYC, be ready for a bit of a wait unless you are in a small group.
MTVMarch 23, 2010Check out this great space in NYC. Mark, Adam and the entire 1 Oak family know how to do it big and show The Situation a great time! - Mike (The Situation), Jersey Shore
Wallpaper* MagazineJanuary 21, 2010Roy Nachum has used black marble and rich Brazilian woods to create a decadent space highlighted by four rows of plush stadium seating, offering the perfect vantage point to see and to be seen. Read more
BlackBook MagazineNovember 29, 2012Wood-paneled exterior exudes masculine charm, matched by ostrich-leather seating and fireplace inside. Smoking patio for your cancer-courting convenience. Read more
Katie ErmilioSeptember 9, 2010I was here for the Minnie Mortimer spring 2011 fashion presentation and it was so fun! Everything looked fabulous and the drinks were delicious.
Genevieve Claire CenowerDecember 15, 2011Go on a Wednesday or Sunday -- the crowd is chiller than the bridge and tunnel Thursday through Saturday crowd
This may be weird, but my favorite part of this club are the floors. I love the zig zag.
Ajay ChopraJanuary 11, 2012yes this fun! good music and great viewing spots. Always a fun time when are office makes it way there!
Candace ChangNovember 24, 2012One Oak is for sure the best club in the city on a Sunday night. Hot dudes, pretty girls
This always ends up being a second stop of the night, but really because it's better after 1am. You can always count on a great DJ spinning there.
Neal WeeseMarch 9, 2010The place doesnt pick up till around 12:30-1am on a Saturday if you are in the B&T crowd. Tables are a good bet but stear clear of the ones by the back door or you will be fighting traffic all night Read more
@JPSmithNYCFebruary 9, 2012Light up bottle menus at least u know how much it's gonna cost to make it rain... Like it really matters!
Kamelle MillsMarch 17, 2012The ppl here donnnnnnnnnt like gay ppl....they will smile as if can plan play game together but don't winnnnnnnn #hate
- MTVMarch 23, 2010This is where you go when you want a nice low key spot, not to big not to small - tough door. - Vinny, Jersey Shore
Make sure you're a cute gay. You'll randomly get free drinks? Awesome.
Nick MovsNovember 5, 2010Amazing night tonight! ... Kanye was at the table next to us .. we basically danced and drank our butts off
1 OAK Margarita will have your friends carrying you out EVERY time
Fred MacDecember 2, 2009Go find a short guy named Richie and sit with him at his table. You'll end up hanging out with Jay Z~!!!
The Salup GroupNovember 4, 2010Party with the likes of the Jersey Shore cast members at this Meatpacking District hotspot!
- Maria SerenaAugust 5, 2019So overrated! We left in like 30min. Smelled like SHIT and was full of creepy old guys. The DJ sucked played 30 seconds of each song. The general manager was rude and extremely condescending.
