My favorite thing about this unique place is that the crowd ranges from barely legal to barely alive, a crowd of all of the ages. Amazingly friendly and welcoming vibe.

Anton Monastyrsky

Great concept, unique place to spend a night! Great idea with the show, that's doesn't make you to feel boring during the hole night. A bit small place, many people! Nice people :) girls

The Corcoran Group

Once you've gotten past the doorman (with a reservation or a little creativity) you'll be treated to some of the most entertaining, and unbelievably naughty acts. Dressing up is highly encouraged!

İpek A.

Amazing parties and the burlesque show is something to experience. It's a venue like no other. At some point you're not gonna remember you were there :)

Julie Soscia

A very unique club scene. On the weekends, wait for the late night shows, you will be either shocked or entertained.

Josef Szotten

Well worth a visit if you manage to get in. Crazy shows with anything from circus acts to naked guys playing with their prosthetic arms... Bizarre but entertaining place.A New York experience for sure

Mark Ruiz

You've probably heard some outlandish stories from a friend of a friend who knows someone who's been here. Whatever it is you heard, believe it! Make it past the ropes and you're in for quite a night! Read more

Robo Cruz

peep show type party, must be open minded and willing to see/experience the most bizarre people NYC has to offer. From nude individuals, to musicians , to circus performers .. def must see.

Marie La Rue

This roller coaster ride of a burlesque-freak show-party enchants patrons several nights a week. Find a way to get in and be ready to fall down the rabbit hole.

Howcast

Known for its over the top burlesque shows ...and its debut on Gossip Girl , the Box is nothing less than glamorous! Check out our video and have your very own Chuck and Blair moment! http://ow.ly/7h5pG

Club meets insane burlesque show . It's most fun when you take someone who has no idea what they are in for. It's an experience for sure.

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Absolutely phenomenal for density of beautiful women and energy. Show is pretty fun as well , but the crowd is the main draw

Karima

Burlesque . This place gets wilder and wilder as the night goes on. Interesting crowd (as in not just hipsters and not just fist pumping bros). The one con is that the drink pricing is absurd.

Concert Ticket Agency

Feel glamorous, hip , and ahead of the curve here. From Gossip Girl to The Glamour Magazine party. tres chic ! True NYC club experience.

Jarosław Pilch

Best way to lose a lot of money in NY. The show was ok, but not worth table price with champagne price of 3000usd min! Waitress are drinking it with you so becarefull as it will finish quickly.

@JaumePrimero

don't be afraid, just do it! There are few places in this world like the Box, you will be shocked, you will be dazzled, you WILL party like a rockstar.

Showtime Network

A variation of a nightclub & dinner theatre with the most amazing acts I’ve ever seen. The vibe is voyeuristic, sexy, & usually something that you can’t explain unless you’ve seen it. - Tracy

Eddie Francis

It's a amazing party and the burlesque show is something to experience.. It's a venue like no other..

EchoDA

this place is always entertaining especially after midnight were live acts, burlesque shows , 2 levels a good place to over look the action on the mezzanine level

ᴡ Corda

The Box is the only nightclub where you'll never get bored. The place is gorgeous & the shows are a thrill. One of my favorite places in New York...

The Salup Group

Order a Hendrick's Gin and Tonic with cucumber , and enjoy one of the great burlesque shows . If you’re an account exec, let your clients pay! Most expensive drinks in NYC...

Revel In New York

Their acts are very polished and well styled. It’s a mix of variety, burlesque , singers and circus acts . The place looks like the Moulin Rouge. It totally rocks! -Molly Crabapple, Artist Read more

Siraj Ali

Get a table upstairs next to the bar for the best service and view of the stage

SPIN

Madeline Follin of Cults describes this nightclub/dinner theater as “the freakiest freak show I’ve ever experienced in my life.” What more needs to be said?

The best burlesque show it town ! A "must" NYC experience .

Michael Gogel

Sometimes it's a good idea not to stand right at the front stage.

Olessya K

If you're not a hot girl and have no connections get here early. However u must stay late cause all the fun starts after at least 1 am ;)

Hagay Jivilik

Come ready for the shows, very extreme !

Michael Chiang

Show doesnt start till 1:30 but time really flies when you're at this place...amazing performances !

Pablo Roskell

If you're stage center, be wary of flying liquids originating from unsanitized turkey basters...yeah.

Nadia Duinker

Very inspirational bar with cutting edge performance art . Ranging from edgy to sexy, hilarious, shocking, bizarre and beautiful, all with a great sense of humour and an extremely talented host.

Sally Bones

Saw a really good show here, but bar selection was pretty weak- only bottled beers and not a good selection.

Yaz Mus

Definitely great once or twice for the shock value but not ideal for dancing . Also the door is impossible so unless you have a table or hook-up don't bother.

Nicholas Hovan

If Leo shows up just leave they won't let anyone else in especially if your black according to the bouncer

Bec Shayne

Need a reservation months in advance unless you somehow have connections or get lucky

Christina Rapesto

Its like a upper class freak show. You should get a table because the drinks are very expensive and u get a bottle with the table.When asked what u want with your bottle of vodka NEVER say watermelon .

Swetha Reddy

Ambiance and drinks

Bennett Golden

Our show will retch your innocence away, and we'll be happy it did.

Ravin Dave

sick place for open minded date or group. the kink, crowd and cool factor directly correlate with the cost per drink ($$$) - service charge included.. Shows start late, tables r great! Read more

Eric R

It's all about freedom, freedom, d*cks, b**bies and p*ssies!!!!

Adam Lauria

The world would be a better place if people frequented cabaret shows more often.

Gabby Nader

Oh well , tips are useless here, just do what you must, and get in.

Jeanna

Get there around 11-11.30pm to get in without reservation .

Michele Hughes

Very unique spot

Tracy Marie Thomas

Awesome entertainment- never dull

Vettazou

Stop listening to stories and go for it! After the box any other club will look just boring...

Irina B
