Eris — Restaurant in New York

This review is about the weekend nightlife that takes place at Eris... which for the most part becomes a nightclub and alt/new wave/goth music dance club on Friday and Saturday nights. I'm from New Jersey Eris is located in Brooklyn. I heard about it from Facebook and since I like..actually love 80s alternative music New Wave, Punk, grunge, power pop some goth and industrial too thrown in. Usually I go to an alt rock club once a month called QXTs in Newark (which I love) and since older establishments in New York have closed, such as the Pyramid Club, I decided to take a gal pal (ex girlfriend who loves to dance ) and spend the time and hefty gas/tolls to give the place a shot...well...I was not disappointed! In fact I really liked the place including the patrons and employees I came into contact with were very nice. Like Qxts, they too had 3 separate dance rooms so that there is or should be something across the alternative music genres that you will find appealing to enjoy and/or dance to. The DJ from the Pyramid club that was there even took one of my request ...and immediately played it (thanks!) ..If they were playing something one room that I didn't feel like dancing too or like I just went into another room to find my groove. Admission was $12 which I thought was reasonable and the people at the front were friendly which makes for a great start... mixed drinks were slightly pricey at $11 each but we're not weak so I didn't/won't complain too much LOL. Unfortunately only one bar on the main floor was pretty well-stocked other rooms downstairs had limited options or choices which they should expand on. I had such a good time got there at 10 and ended up leaving at almost 4 in the morning so 6 hours of continues alt rock/new wave dancing made us happy campers.... will we return to Eris? Hell yeah! ..only wish it was closer! Also they need to pump up the air conditioning a bit more...but came there to dance and sweet. If you like classic New Wave (New Order, Smiths, Pychedelic Furs, etc) goth (Bahaus,etc), classic cheesy 80s (Madonna, Prince, Simple Minds) or other alternative music I would say this is a club you should try....If I'm there you can buy me drink to...

The place looks nice but the points that adds get taken away by how overpriced this place is. Had my cider changed twice because it smelled crazy which makes me wonder how clean the place is. My friend was let in to buy a $40 ticket five minutes before the show ended and they did last call. We do understand he got there late. Not sure if sound engineer came with the specific event or if he’s with the place but the quality of the mix didn’t allow us to enjoy the music. We're sure great concerts happen here and perhaps just seemed overpriced for this occasion. Appreciate management for being on top of their reviews. Look forward to see how this...

Absolutely awful experience. This place is a disaster hiding behind a bar sign. The owners are not only incredibly rude, but also made it painfully clear they have no respect for queer patrons—there were some shockingly homophobic undertones in their behavior. Drinks? Total joke—watered down to the point of insult. And to top it off, one of the staff let slip that the venue is struggling financially, so the owners are squeezing artists dry with shady booking fees. It’s giving desperation, not hospitality. Save your money, your time, and your dignity—there are plenty of better, safer places to go. Avoid...
