Phebe Reborn Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Jersey City

Horrible experience. I am big photographer who works with some of the largest and popular influencers in New York and Miami. Long story short, there was a bartender wearing a pink bodysuit that I was trying to get the attention of to buy a drink but she was so rude all she could do is face her back towards me. I was scrolling through my phone and photography portfolio on my phone since I am a boudoir photographer and all the women on my page were wearing black and there were videos on my page.

Meanwhile a guy who worked there and was very territorial of the bartender wearing pink approached me and out of the blue made up a lie and accused me of videotaping her to score points with her and get me to stop talking to her. I then approached him and tried to explain and when I was going to tell her what happened and ask to buy a drink he got a guard to remove my belongings from the area and direct me out so I couldn’t talk to her.

After explaining the situation they said I am welcome “any other day but today”since I didn’t buy a drink, despite my point making sense to the other workers who I had a chance to explain to.

It even started on wrong note before I could even get in. When I first went in the nightclub and things started off on the wrong foot with the security guard who could barely speak English and only really understood Spanish not making themselves clear. They told me to em my pockets and in my pants and jacket and when I did they kept nodding their head after I did everything I they told me. Please note all I had was tissues, shorts and candy in my pocket. Afterwards when a couple who knew him spoke Spanish to them they let me in.

Any of the bad reviews about biased treatment to both men and women please take note of. I love clubs but will stay away from this one at all costs. I highly prefer better clubs like Startlets. You need to know the people who work there if you want a decent time. They don’t care who you are which is why the facility is small and...

Phebe Reborn can't help but be the best club in the area, because it's the only one. And since they know they are the only ones, be prepared to get those pockets tapped. But honestly, that's what all clubs do.

So here's everything you should expect when you party here: There is a cover charge for men and women, which varies between $20-$40

They even want to charge covers for bottle clients, which isn't standard practice in nightlife. I should know, after being a club promoter for over 10 years.

Phebe often has $100 bottle promos before 10 PM.

The waitresses look nice and liven the room up.

Hookah guys are always on the prowl to rip you off with their tiny $30 hookahs.

As for the party:

The DJs are always on point and spin pop, Hip Hop, and Latin sometimes.

The crowd is pretty young and a little hood so doesn't worry about dressing up too much.

Every time I went, the guys outnumbered the ladies by like 4 to 1. So don't be surprised if it's a sausage festival. They sorely need promoters who can put ladies in the room.

The best days to go are Fridays and Saturdays. I went on a Thursday and it was pretty dead. Maybe it's a hit or miss.

Overall, Phebe's is a solid party on the right night and with the right expectations.

Yeah I’m leaving this up here. I was nice enough to delete my last comment since the person that runs the place contacted me to ask me to take it down on condition that I get my money back for getting kicked out soon as I walked in. Ok so the door girl was extremely rude and I was kicked out for no reason. She only gave me part of the money that was spent. He agreed to give me my money back if I deleted the post and still has yet to pay me so this review will be staying up. He never spoke to the woman about her behavior and that’s bad for business. If anyone else has dealt with her or had any issues here like this. Keep that little money but just take this as a lesson that we the customers deserve better treatment and I hope the establishment works better with dealing with these kind...
