We had slate rented for a charity event on a Tuesday night. The venue itself is very nice. The event was Mardi Gras themed. There was a red carpet and the event was fully catered.
If you are looking for a more laid back club experience. Slate is the place for you. They have 2 full bars and lounge areas. Slate is different than any club I have been to in the city. They have a full DJ spinning and the same light effects as any high end night club. The only thing different are the areas with knock hockey tables and fooseball. The atmosphere is more socially friendly. I have had VIP at some of the hottest nightclubs in Vegas,NY and Miami. Non of them had fooseball tables haha.
The drinks at slate were around $14 depending on what you get obviously. The drinks were strong at the upstairs bar I like it.
The staff was very nice. The security guards were very nice. They would ask if everything was good. The coat check was a nice change so you don't leave your jacket in the middle of winter.
The food was catered. Everything was excellent. Started with appetizers and fried goodies. Fried mac and cheese, chicken quesadillas and crab cakes. They had a vegetarian quesadilla. For the dinner. There was 2 stations with 7 hot trays each. The one food area had hot sandwiches like fried chicken. Crab sandwiches. And mini burgers and falafel sandwiches. At the second food station there was hot trays with ziti, Mac and cheese, pulled pork , ribs salad wings.
Overall slate was nice. The staff was very accommodating. The bartenders were constantly busy. The food was very good for bar bite style food. I do recommend trying slate out if you would like a different club experience.
PROS:
– staff was nice.
– club has a coat check.
– they have knock hockey and fooseball in the club!!!
*** Great selection of music, Free drink (check in on Yelp), large dance space***
This is a great club/bar vibe with a great selection of top 40's, hip hop, reggaeton. In addition, there's a main dance floor and a bottom floor where you can find pool tables, ping pong tables, seating area, etc. Check in on Yelp for a free drink. Coat check is $4.
Listen, I'm not from NYC so I don't want to pretend I am but I do live in the city. I would consider this place to be very "bridge and tunnel". I picture a bevy of young guys and ladies coming over in there party clothes ready to "rage" at Slate.
We went as a group and were treated like hobos on arrival. We gave our reservation name at the door and it's almost like were made it up. He radioed inside and we were finally allowed to enter after the "stamp" of approval was received.
We went to watch some NFL playoff games with a group and the games were on. It became very clear that only three people we were watching the games and there was no volume on the game, just LOUD party/dance music.
The drinks were lackluster at best, just a bunch of guys making "drinks" for people who have very little caliber of fine cocktails.
At one point, I attempted to use the restroom and there was a leak and water was everywhere in 2 of the 3 stalls. The attendant basically told me, I'd have to come back whenever she was finished which is fine but her attitude was less than stellar about it.
I watched a handful of bro-sefs scam on chicks, hopefully they made some headway
Basically, if you are into loud music, over priced not well made cocktails, and bumping into people looking to take you home, Slate is for you. In fact, if your in "that phase" in your life, you will probably love it but unfortunately in a city of this magnitude you can do so much better.
Not my scene and I would not return but given the crowd there I don't think I would be missed.
Every time I want to go out and have a good time. I always choose slate. I consider this my go to bar when I don't know where to go. How could you not like it here! Pool tables downstairs, no cover charge, drinks fairly priced, music is bumping and everything is clean and neat!
I also came here on Halloween 2016, the DJ did An awesome job! Their happy hour deal was so strong that I got wasted so quick that the night became unmemorable. From what I remember I had a good time! Gotta love slate!
This is a great venue for a variety of reasons
If you have a private event from 10-200 people they can make it work here with a variety of private sections or private rooms and multiple floors
Custom create the usage of ping pong tables pool tables football tables etc for making it the perfect spot for company parties
The food is high end bar food and very very good – staff is always friendly and easy to deal with
The scene is inconsistent, some Friday nights could be empty and sometimes it's a line around the corner but highly suggest it either way!
Came here about 10-15ish times, there is no cover charge which is always a plus.
However there is a "mandatory" coat check. Which is clearly not properly regulated since I walked right in with my jacket on last night and then when my friends wanted to go drop off their jackets, they said
"Absolutely no entry with jackets". -yeah okay.
Bartenders looked dead and actually makes the bar look depressing, some asian women and some other dude. Drinks pricing wasnt that off the charts you would expect; Corona – 7$
Venue didnt have as many spills on the floor, they definitely had more on-floor staff yesterday which was killing everyone's vibe.
"Excuse me, you must step out of the way" was something you'd hear anywhere you went almost like it's remixed into the background music.
Downstairs was closed and for those that mingle;
Ratio was like 4;1
Came here to hangout for my boy that took a leave vacation from the marines, and much regretted spending time here. Shouldve went elsewhere!
OVERALL, nothing impressive at all, only thing that I sometimes appreciate is the black lighting which I feel lets you get funky without being glared down (:
Ninja style dancing(:
My friend ordered bottle service here for his birthday and it was one of the worst experiences I've had with bottle service.
We arrived early in the night, around 10:30/11 before the place was popping. We got our bottles and accompanying mixes. First, the mixes were watered down and disgusting. Even when we had good alcohol, many of us didn't want to drink it with bad mixes and chasers. Therefore we wanted to order some cocktails from the bar, it took us 30 minutes for a waitress to come by our table. When we ordered we thought she would be come back with the drinks and she NEVER did. Then we went to the bar to order drinks and those also never came to our table. Out of all the times we tried to order cocktails for the table, we ended up getting two drinks each over a time frame of 3 hours because the there was NO TABLE SERVICE.
The music was also mehh.
I love this place. I think it's a great place to hang out as well as go to the club and dance. I do like how they have games and lounging downstairs. You can order expensive plates as well. They try to be fancy but it's bar food – the disgusting kind. I put pictures up, and let me tell you, looks can certainly be deceiving here. Don't order anything I did.
The club always has great music, and I love that their dance floor is huge. There's dancers you can watch as well, and there's places to sit for all you heel-wearers. No cover, which is an absolute positive. I definitely recommend coming here if you want to dance!
