The best & longest running 80's nights ever. Come out Thurs for new wave, synth pop & obscure tracks, Fri for LGBTQ friendly 80's night and Sat for 80's hits. Go home smelling like a fog machine.
Joe M.August 10, 2014This club is not only very affordable, but it perfectly simulates the 1980s. Upstairs, you can dance to classics by Madonna, New Order & more. Downstairs, dance to industrial music from the decade.- Aiden KirchnerSeptember 13, 20111984 has come and gone but Pyramid is here to stayThis dance spot is beloved by the East Village crowd, overalls and flourescent T's are more than welcome welcome, that's all we're going to say.
Consistently divey. It hasn't changed in 20 years and I love that it hasn't. The drinks are cheap, the bathrooms nasty and their 80's nights and Madonnathons are the best!
Foursquare SwarmJune 8, 2018This fixture of NYC nightlife in the late 70s and 80s was one of the first nightclubs to highlight drag culture. It featured performances by Madonna, Nirvana, and RuPaul.

amNewYorkMay 5, 2013On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, you’ll be hit with the mellifluous sounds of ’80s tracks perfect for dancing to on the small dance floor until the break of dawn.
Matt BDecember 25, 2014Cheap, small, but strong drinks. There's a cover, but it's about the cost of a drink, so it could be much worse in NYC. If you like 80's music, this place is golden. Make sure to bring a friend. Dance
Berk KapiciogluOctober 2, 2016It's sooooo bad it's actually good! Say you want to have cheap looking drinks in shitty plastic cups and listen to 80s music and dance silly. This is it!
Ralph R.June 15, 2014Awesome vibe, nostalgia central -- however DJ transitions lack intensity and excitement. Need new 80s DJs!!!!
Aïda KhemiriOctober 8, 2014check the basement where you can dance on good techno/fusion/goth music! Amazing
eric bornemannMarch 3, 2018You go for what it was, not what it is. One if the last places for cheap and easy thrills in the EV.

New York AccentsDecember 8, 2010For a fun variety of 80's music go to Pyramid on a Saturday night. There's nothing pretty about it...just pure fun.
Giampietro MarfisiSeptember 27, 2010Get back to the 80s! Cheap and Dark as it really was. That's Alphabet City.

Dixie D'AmourJuly 14, 2009Go to Pyramid Club early for $3 buck cover charge then dance to 80s Nu Wave all night and enjoy the $2 buck PBR special. Ignore the goth kids.
