Eden Lounge

One star Cause i made out with a drunk chick!!!
Other then that DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AT THIS PLACE! The guys who own the place are complete Racists. I came here with a big group (mostly Asians) and they let everyone in except for my best friend who is Black (WTF).
I had to convince the manager (Korean) to let him had to slip him $ 30!!! to let him in. Worst place in NYC hands down. The crowd is pretty sad here rejects from Circle. Will never ever go back and waste my time or money.

+close to all the Korean BBQ restaurants
— full of young Korean males, m/​f ratio 5:1, but I already had company so I didn’t care. I was the only non-​Asian that night.
+ they do some nice dancing
— empty on Saturday 12:30am
+ if you try to get your money back and leave the place after 30secs of getting inside, the doorman will offer you free tequila shots (which run for $ 9 btw)
+ in the end, after getting drunk, I did have a good time there.

I came to NYC from Baltimore to obtain the NYC experience, so my friend took me to this place. Generally speaking, I do not enjoy the club scene, but I wasted my time and money at this place, and felt the need to pound this place.
–You will never get into this club for free. $ 20 cover at minimum for a guy (At first we had to buy a bottle to get in. But my friend charmed his way through a $ 20 cover)
–If you are looking for a multiethnic crowd, you won’t get it here.
–The place is the size of my bedroom. It’s small
–The drinks are expensive. Around $ 12 a shot.
–The bartenders seem very depressed working there. They were mute the entire evening.
–The strobe lights plus the glow sticks gave me a headache.
–They didn’t play any Taylor Swift songs.
Maybe I’m not into the club scene, but I didn’t find this place enjoyable.

Uh no. From my experience, Eden is tiny and deserted even on a Saturday night. The bouncer was rude and refused my friends and me entrance without paying for a table and drinks. Do we look like desperate men trying to pick up girls? So they told us to come back half an hour later for entrance and when we showed up, they let us in after charging us a $ 20 cover. Money was totally wasted because the minute we walked in, it was barren. The fog and dim lights don’t hide the fact that there might have been only a handful of people there. The only good thing about the experience was that the bartender gave us a free piña colada on the house after we bought overpriced shots.

Eden is the most convenient place I can go dance after getting drunk at a bar somewhere in KTOWN. I wouldn’t go to Eden unless I’m under dressed for another club or über drunk in Ktown! Good music selection. Its mostly techno/​trance & some korean music in between. The bar is REALLY small. As a drinker I would like a bigger bar.
The crowd is umm okay. My friends & I like to enjoy watching koreans dance which is really funny to watch. We sit down, sip our drinks, & crack up while we watch them dance. Most of the clubbers in there don’t even know how to dance which is really sad. No wonder people tell me Eden is for hiro/​circle rejects.

I’m no clubber but one of my friend dragged me here last night. So I decided to pay $ 20 and enter this place despite the fact that I wasn’t ready or dressed properly for the club scene at all. I guess my Marc Jacobs t-​shirt did justice for it lol. Anyways, this place is small and crowded. Music was good. Drink prices were pretty reasonable. Attractive crowd (mostly Korean and some Asian/​Caucasian). They do play a mix of both Korean and American music with lots of electronica and techno. But several times, the beats and music were repeated which was kind of blah. You also cannot do much talking/​mingling here as I said before, crowded and really small space you can barely move!!! Last night, there were some cat fights between two Korean girls trying to out do each other and ended up pulling each other’s hair. But hey, shit happens no?

I’ve been here once with 2 friends at around 2AM. The girls I were with got in for free and their ID’s were barely checked but I was charged $ 20, ugh. I don’t mind paying a $ 20 cover if the place is big but…
I heard that this place was small but WOW this place is a damn hallway! I looked around and there were so many underage people *sigh*. I hear this is the place to go to if you can’t get into Circle/​Hiro.
There’s only 1 bar and the upstairs is only for VIP. Drinks were pretty expensive for a small place like this. This is a Korean club which is nice and the majority of the people were Korean though I saw a few Non-​Asians.
The lights were actually nice and they had a fog machine. The color of the inside is similar to Circle (White with purple and blue lights). The music was house which I loved and they occasionally played K-​POP.
There was a small stage where you could go up and dance. My friend really enjoyed that.
If this club was bigger… MUCH bigger, I would’ve given it a higher rating. The girls were kind of stingy since they were like…18 and most likely just got out of highschool excited about going clubbing in NYC. I’m only 21 yet I felt weird.

I basically live in K-​Town. This shit is type wack. I don’t have any other words to describe it.

Comical I tell you.
This place is so small. It’s like the entire bar area of Circle.
I came here around 2 or 3 in the morning in my flip flops with 2 other girls after a night of karaōke. We had the spontaneous urge to dance. No hassling with Circle and we had not dressed up for a night on the town.
The bouncer barely looked at our ids and let us in… no charge. We must have really lucked out this night b/​c the music was actually really good. We probably danced for like 20 – 30 minutes then left. We had fun and there were no pesky guys trying to rub their man parts on us like at Circle. Though small, we had plenty of room to dance b/​c the place was so empty!
Tried coming here again on a Saturday night thinking our first experience was the norm. Haha! My guy friend was in shorts and sneakers and they wouldn’t let us in. Oh well. We tried!

Let’s start with the cons:
— underage kids (yes out of curiosity I actually asked this young looking boy his age and he was not 21+…assuming same with his friends)
— expensive drinks for a REAL SHITTY lounge
— small, semi empty
— strobe lights make it feel like you’re going to have a heart attack any minute
— music choice was crappy
— cover $ 20 for guys, $ 10 for girls (on Fridays)
— bathrooms are DISGUSTING, everything from the sink overflowing to the damn faucet coming off the counter… uh seriously?
Pros: none
Would never come back here, ever.

It’s pretty small but cozy; a decent size. Smoke machines make it look like a dream.
The VIP is upstairs. Karaōke and food can be asked for by the servers in tuxedos. One huge plus, is the windows overlooking the dance floor; if you want to feel superior for one night.
The crowd is mostly Korean and 2 – 1 guy-​girl ratio.
Drinks are a tad expensive but well-​made.
As long as you look good, you will have no problem hooking up here.

This is where the rejects and underaged kids go because they couldn’t get into hiro or circle. The bouncer’s chill about everything but he’s not particularly friendly.
It’s a very small place and at it’s prime on weekends around 1am to closing it gets really packed. There are always more guys than girls and the crowd isn’t too bad to look at. You’ll find alot of college students here because it’s cheaper and more lenient. Upstairs is the so called vip room but basically anyone can go in and out of there but you do need to book tables if you want to sit down of course.
Eden does book which means any guy who sees you can ask the waiters to come and bring you to their table. As in any booking club, if you say no they’ll keep insisting. I met the manager here when he ‘booked’ me and my friend to his table upstairs. He was nice but alot of the guys here get a little too nice if you know what i mean.
Eden promoters can be found on the k town streets handing out promotions and asking for your numbers if you’re a girl. I made the mistake of giving my number to one of them and while they are cute it’s annoying getting a text every weekend from them asking you to come out to their club.
One of their pluses is their slightly raised dancing stage which is extremely small but sometimes it’s fun to push your way through to the middle and dance. I received a couple of free shots from the waiters here and they make it tasty and strong. Going in and out of the front door if you want to smoke outdoors is no problem. I do like the interior because it’s sleek and modern but it’s way too small.
I only come here because I can’t go anywhere else yet but I won’t be coming back here once I can go to other places. The music isn’t very good. I used to frequent this place almost every weekend for a good amount of time but I’ve never found the music to be particularly good unless the girl dj was playing. She was the best amongst all of them. I’ve never had to pay for anything here except admission so I can’t say how pricey or cheap the drinks are. Most likely if you’re a girl and a good dancer then you’re going to get booked and not have to pay for your alcohol because the guys will provide that for you. Music is just weak house/​trance/​electro. They just need better djs playing the same genre but better more club appropriate mixes.
Overall I just come here to dance dance drink drink have a good laugh with friends and strangers then go home. Nothing memorable about this place. From experiences from my friends, circle is a lot better.

fantastic deco
pretty enough sized dance floor
DJpeterpanic is the best in the world. best ever and ever. woohoo!! it’s always high quality.
There’s always a ton of people, which leads to a lot of crowding.
esp. waiters and bartenders are effing HOTand friendly!!!
ohh omg one more i know the owners of eden lounge they are freaking hot too!
i hope they opened EVERYNIGHTS!!!

VERY friendly
great service
cozy but never tooo crowded
good atmosphere and table set ups
very nice music to jump and dance to
pretty good looking crowd :)
and fruit platter is high quality (compared to circle’s… soo bad! T_​T)

I was here with a friend of mine for a networking/​year end/​holiday party on a Tuesday night, hosted by a cool non-​profit. No cover and the cocktail drinks were bogof (buy one get one free). I wish I knew that the special was for cocktail drinks only b/​c I had to fork over an Andy Jackson for two Amstels. NYC prices. Come on, man.
Anyhow, the space was large and there were many tvs on the walls playing k-​pop videos. The lighting was hip and the smoke machine brought back many, many memories (good and bad) from my younger days. Overall, it is a pretty fun place to hold an event.
But they need to upgrade their fried finger foods. A bunch of us went to Kunjip for a late dinner afterwards. Good times.

Nice they have no cover and will check coats. Are more open to mixed group. unlike circle.
People were friendly. Tho I would watch your bag well as a friends camera was stolen. Ok DJ, tho did over uses his mix effect a bit. Over all a good night. Good atmosphere but a bit tight on space.
Nice after dealing with circle that we were fine with our mixed group.
I would go again as the staff was friendly and the people were chill.

Maybe I’m just old & used to the old Camel days. (yea now I got you all thinking I’m old!) I started going to Camel when it was at its prime — back when you had to get a table (even if you were all girls) and you needed to know someone to get in.
Eden charges no cover — which is good because it would’ve been a waste to pay on that Saturday night I went to go check it out. The music was ok. But it was relatively empty even though it was close to 1:30 AM. The crowd wasn’t all that great either. My friend describes it as the Hiro/​Circle-​reject crowd (a little harsh but she said it! Not me.)
The layout is a lot more open & nicer — I’ll give it that. We used the bathroom, danced to a few songs & made our way over to… Circle. (surprise)

A friend’s friend was promoting this place and is how I ended up here. The crowd here is primarily saturated with a lot of Asian guys with that certain air of attitude and the girls here as well. Of course where there is a large group of Asians there are inevitably the creepy non-​Asian guys flying solo in desperate hopes of satisfying their yellow fever.
If you’re a girl and like that ravenous attention then this is certainly the place you want to come to. Also apparently if you’re a guy and want to show off how cool you are this is also the place to go, it’s the perfect symbiotic relationship.
You’ll witness hoards of shallow guys showing off their bling and attitude and the equally shallow females that latch on to that.
Then off in the corners are all the various groups of regular folk just wanting to have a good time.
I can’t say I didn’t have a ton of fun, but then again I was here with a large group of friends that had come out to support their friend. As long as you’re with a group of people that can make the party it’s all good.
It’s not a particularly large place and for now although it gets packed, you can still get around pretty easily. Drinks are priced ok, not exactly reasonable but not outrageous. The bartenders are all super attentive which is a nice change of pace. Guy or girl you’ll have no problem being served.
The music they primarily play is that euro trance that you’ll find in a majority of the lounges around K-​Town so it shouldn’t be surprising. The nice thing about the DJ is he did mix it up with some Hip Hop and occasional rock here and there upon request.
Décor wise, it feels like you’ve walked into any of the other all white with neon spaceships which seems to be a requirement if you want to open a place in K-​Town.
Either way being newish, it definitely looks like this place will only get better.

Look, this place for Koreans, especially for F.O.B’s and that’s about it. Don’t say anything bad because it is what it is. If you want to pick up a fobby chick and blow all of you money then this is for you. If you want to get hit on some yu-​hak-​sang dude blowing all of his parents $$ then this is place for you.
Waiters tend to pick up all the women and ladies enjoy free booze all day to feel special since this is only place they can actually feel like that. It is what it is, people say they hate it but they still go…

The first question I asked prior to stepping foot in the door was «Why Camel?» unfortunately I still cannot explain to myself how my friends duped me into coming.
This location was just as the others described it to be, a small strip the separates the two halves of the room. As the night lingers on this tiny place gets rather packed and you can sense the testosterone fill the air, male to female ratio 3:1, at least on the night that I went. Bar service wasn’t bad, but you can tell that most were having bottle service instead. Simply put, this place is a Korean bar, where the majority of the patrons are Korean, and the rest is Asian, presumably Chinese.
If it weren’t for the birthday boy I think I would have left 5 minutes within walking in; felt as if every girl in the place was giving me a dirty look. I do not anticipate on coming back any time soon.
