Brand new nightclub on the north side of Williamsburg! 10K sq feet, 2 rooms, incredible sound system and world-class DJs. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Kristine BrewitzMarch 17, 2014Amazing place to dance the night away! Volume was just right and the main dance floor has 180 degrees of screens surrounding the dj that showcase different videographers/ photographers. Brilliant :)Upvote7Downvote
G DaniellJuly 31, 2015If you like house,you'll have a good time and just based off the strength of the majestic ambiance,indoors and ofcourse a good club experience is never complete w/o your sqaud,UpvoteDownvote
The lights go off like a mini light show. Great venue with great music. The side bar/room closes earlier (3:30 AM) so make sure to close your tab !Upvote1Downvote
Jackie MucilliDecember 4, 2015Super fun place to catch a DJ. Definitely a rowdy crowd. Coat check in the front. Wear something on the dressier side.UpvoteDownvote
Celia HatfieldJune 2, 2015Yoga at 7 and 8:30 Mondays and Tuesdays in the summer. Lights, projections, live dj (and cellist), free mats for $20... Best kept secretUpvote1Downvote
Denis SosnovtsevJuly 6, 2015Relaxed, roomy, and not too loud. Casual dress code. The wall-to-wall video projections behind the DJs are a nice touch.Upvote1Downvote
David WeinbergerJanuary 22, 2016Great dancing, good music, cool bathrooms. This guy is happy. Better to pregame at Kents down the block, though. Bar here is expensiveUpvoteDownvote
Deepak ShrivastavaMarch 20, 2015Amazing music. Still real. The welcomed OPPOSITE of the crap venues in the Meatpacking.

Johnny WuMarch 8, 2015Great new venue. Cover can be expensive for certain nights. Try to buy ahead or get on the list with someoneUpvoteDownvote
Dan WissingerOctober 19, 2015Sound system is world class. Too bad they pack you in like sardines. Oh and every sardine is an asshole. Good luck trying to dance while a congo line of drunks pushes forward like it's LollapaloozaUpvote1Downvote
Make sure you take a pic of your coat check ticket. If you lose it they'll supposedly use the pic. Try not to find out.

Ina LiSeptember 7, 2015Great venue with surrounded panel boards for visual effects. Often over capacity when the lineup is goodUpvoteDownvote
tanya raupachOctober 29, 2014You'd have to pay me to go back in there. Packed wall to wall with some of the biggest assholes I've even experienced.

Jim TaylorApril 9, 2015Verboten is Williamsburg’s newest club proper, often described as a little slice of Manhattan transplanted into Brooklyn. Read moreUpvote1Downvote
Go for A Scanner Darkly, or anything with ginger beer, actually. The sound system will set you free.Upvote2Downvote
Cole KennedyDecember 8, 2015Only go when you know there will be a great crowd, because you'll have to pay cover regardless of if the night is a flop.UpvoteDownvote
Alyxa LeaseJuly 29, 2014Deep house yoga every week on Monday and Tuesday night is pretty amazing.Upvote5Downvote
Simon LafontOctober 19, 2015Nice size, not too big, with well tuned soundsystem.Really good vodka in cocktail.UpvoteDownvote
Elie BleierNovember 10, 2014The vibe is awkwardly placed in-between Meatpacking and Output. Not optimal sound isolation between rooms. Only go for can't-miss artists.Upvote3Downvote
Deep House yoga every monday and tuesday night is a revelation.Upvote1Downvote
KathAugust 10, 2014If u r ready be be bumped around even tho its not even pack.Go ahead.Music is good.I guess.. Rather be stuck with a million and half ppl in marquees than 80 scumbags at this place ( occupancy +/- 180)UpvoteDownvote
Order the Fahrenheit 451, the jalapeño mezcal is the boss.Upvote6Downvote- Conrad Greiner-BechertApril 18, 2018Supposedly the best sound system in New York or at least Brooklyn, but definitely not the best music.UpvoteDownvote
Gabriel BazganAugust 3, 2014Standing at the urinals you have a view of the stage and main dance floor ;)Upvote4Downvote
Ana Marie 💃March 2, 2015If DJ sets and late night ⚡️ are your thing, verboten is your thing.UpvoteDownvote
Younes ChaAugust 19, 2014If you like electro/house music, that's the place to go. Cover and drinks are outrageously expensive thoughUpvoteDownvote
Chris SandemanAugust 10, 2014Good drinks, nice enough place...shame about the plastic glasses for serving drinks...glass is so much nicerUpvoteDownvote
John DoeJanuary 23, 2015It was closed on Wednesday night no a single soul to be found in the whole vicinity.UpvoteDownvote
