Finale

I could say good things about Finale, but the utter lack of respect and help they exhibit makes me give them one star. I left my jacket behind in the coat check last week, and they were completely unwilling to help me get it back. I called their lost and found line twice, emailed them, and physically went there and never got a helpful person or response to any of my inquiries. I can’t believe a club like this gets away with treating its patrons so poorly, especially after forking over several grand for a table.
I am utterly disappointed in the lack of decency the people running this venue exhibit.
I am happy to speak with the proprietor in regards to this feedback, but I doubt I will hear anything given their history.
Word of Advice: Don’t leave anything there, you’ll never get it back.

I’ve been promoting Finale for a while now but it recently became my every Saturday spot, the reason for it I will give it shortly.
The club is usually packed on Saturdays, the lines are long, and there are two lines usually. Unless you know the door guy the chances are you will have to wait a bit, but that is the same with every good night club in New York. Now inside, the club is not big, but it’s arranged in a very nice way that uses the space that it has very efficiently, meaning that it feels pretty spacious even though the club is not that big. The lights in the club are terrific and the vybe is superb, any person who went there could attest for that. Only 1 time I didn’t liked the DJ that much, overall the music is great and often they have guest celebrities. Such as 50 cent and Jason Derulo (if I spelled his name right) came to party at Finale recently. Only issue I have with this otherwise great venue, is the damn juices. Yes the juices, you don’t get a variety of choices like at other venues, all you only get is cranberry juice, and this cranberry juice is not all that good. Also the people who work at this place are some of the best I’ve encountered in the business. And for that let me give you a short example of what happened this past Saturday March 14^th.
I had a small group of girls celebrating a birthday. They bought 2 bottles of vodka and 1 of champaign. The table by us were some spoiled rich daddy’s kids, who bought enough bottles on their own but decided was cool to steal one of the bottles from the girls table. The General manager and the team gave the girls another bottle right away for free, and kicked that group of guys out of the club despite the fact that they were big clients that bought a lot of bottles. And for such a just act I salute them, and I recommend this venue to everyone that wants a nice hiphop place to party at on Saturdays, and Tuesdays even tho those are not my nights there :)

It’s fun for what it is! I heard they are closing it down soon because the owner is retiring? Not sure if that’s true but if it is it will just open up again under a new name. I always have a great time when I go! Love the throwback that the DJ spins all night and everyone looks like they are having a great time. I wouldn’t call it upscale… its more of a college/​young professionals dancing scene. It is definitely dress to impress though! I think its perfect for a ladies night and if you throw on heels and go with a promoter you won’t have to wait in line.

Gosh I have never been in such an ugly club in Nyc! Starting with the entrance with these horrible walls with graffiti, ew. This club is the worst of the worst. The crowd is so getho. If you wanna party with New York’s trashiest crowd, this is the club for you!

This is literally the worst club I have ever been to. Apparently, when the club promoter named «Abe» gets you a table, it means 50 skanky b**** will be standing on the chairs/​table that you’ve reserved for your friends, pushing you around, smoking cigarettes, spilling their watered down drinks on you. The DJ was horrific. The atmosphere is sweaty, Jersey Shore-​like, and catty. Avoid this place at all costs.

Music was great. VIP was very much so popping to say the least. Only thing I did not like was the fight between another VIP party besides that, everything else was great! King is my fav promoter of all time!

Got there on a Tuesday with a promoter and quite a group (mixed)
Got in in no time, table was ready quite soon. Music was good, DJ knows how to deal.
Quite packed but ok with the table.

My company holiday party was here, so take this review with a grain of salt as I didn’t pay for s-​h-​i-​t. Also, I’m a bit confused as to what the difference between Finale and The General is, so I’m just going to assume that Finale is the smaller part of the venue with the sunken dance floor. Dance floor was decently sized, but not huge. There were booths around, and places to stand above. Sound system was okay. The DJ who spun our party was pretty decent.

My company had its holiday party here, and it was terrible. The soda gun ran out of syrup, so every drink just had carbonated water in it. Also, DO NOT check a coat here. I went to claim mine at the end of the night, and the girl said «we don’t have it.» No explanation or apology, and she gave me someone else’s coat as if to replace it. They also gave my bag to someone else, and instead of helping with the situation, the girl said that obviously they didn’t have it and to maybe send an email to the manager in the morning. Appalling

I came here for Erica Mena’s Birthday Bash. It use to be a poppin spot that had like 5 different clubs inside. Where you can jump from one to the other. But, times has changed and the quality isn’t as great. The workers there are awesome though! Top notch on the control and the flow of things. Love the up beat bartenders and pop locking waitresses. Down side to this place. Parking’s a bitch over here. Especially when every other corner is another club. There is also a homeless shelter near by. You might get harassed a bit. This one dude tried to con me in pretending to be the valet guy haha. But other then that. Go inside. DJ spin that beat!

They should close this place down! RSVP to get into the Halloween party had to wait an hr and 40 mins. We still didn’t get inside the club. To add to it we made reservations for bottle service You decline 2 grand and we only get two bottle. Psh never see me here again.

Soooo first the bartender snatched the bill out of my hands when i was tipping him 18% on drinks because he was demanding i tip him more… When i said no and changed it to a lot less he snatched it out of my hands and said ‘fuck you’. Then a couple of guys at the VIP table started pulling at my friend but she didnt want to go dance with them so they pushed her into a wall and the security man upon seeing this, kicked US out for being ‘too drunk’ when we’d only had one drink. Obviously to please the men at the VIP section. Jankiest club ive been to in nyc, over priced, unsafe, all the staff was a joke, and just so not worth it. Stay away.

This club needs to get a grip… There seems to be no door control. It is overly crowded. Plus it’s a cold day, everyone has a jacket and they don’t bother with coat check. There is a crazy mess of coats on the sofa at our table. The worst part is that the juice is so diluted. It has to be the most disgusting ‘orange’ and ‘cranberry’ juice I’ve ever had. The only good thing is they have decent DJs playing a mix of EDM & hip hop.

Finale, a good but not great time. Good music, strict doorman, and expensive drinks. Not worth it unless you are going through a promoter.
Tips:
–Come early (~11:30) if you want to book a table. The doorman is more lenient when its early
–Typically no cover, use promoters or its table service
–Very strict door so look your best! The doorman will use his judgement
–Other than weekends, Tuesdays are good nights to come as well
The doorman. The epitome of a douche. Once he asked my friend «Do you fuck like a bunny?» I can’t even. To this day that will always be a story I tell when my friends ask me about Finale.
As for promoters, I came once for an Ezoo afterparty in 2013 when Ezoo Sunday was cancelled. I got in with a friend that promotes and cut the line, wasn’t any problem. The crowd was crazy, and it was a great time as Aoki/​Congorock/​Clockwork showed up. I’ve also been here with promoters on Tuesdays for Finale’s «Tuesday Baby Tuesdays». On weekdays you will find a very young crowd, most who look like underage college undergrads. On one occasion, a very drunk Vanessa Minnillo showed up, and popped bottles for the entire room.
On other occasions, my friends and I bought tables. Definitely come early if you did not book in advance to get a table. Once, my friends and I arrived around 11:30p and was able to get one bottle of grey goose for around $ 800 which was much less than the original price. We split the bottle amongst 8 people. The door is more lenient when it is early.
This place has potential, but right now its a mehh for me.

Weird big-​headed leprechaun-​looking bouncer giving attitude, along with some Hawaiian-​looking D-​bag @ the door.
Every woman in this joint looked like she was on Molly. These types made me real nervous because they were parading mini pyrotechnics/​giant sparklers all over the place.
This is a trashy shit-​show New York Club scene. Skip it if you’re expecting anything even remotely classy and SAFE.

I really liked this club, had no problem getting in and I did not have to pay althought the door guy did say let me see who you are with which I felt was wrong! who Is he to judge?
I like that they gave out free popcorn near the entrance ive never seen that before and went back a couple of times!
I went on a Saturday night and the music was ok they played a little of everything. house, pop, hip hop, rnb… The club was also really busy.

Not sure about the sad people complaining about this place. I had a good time. And Lebron James was here, so whatever.
Got packed around 2.
The wee doorman was funny. Long faux fur studded coat and long coat. Had bitchy attitude with the 50 dudes trying to get in. It’s just expected at this point. Also, flawless make up, buddy. Obviously, they have to make the club look good, so even though it was empty inside those people looked like they waited FOR A WHILE. We had a table, so we hopped from the Über to the downstairs. I recommend you get a table.
Long, cool, narrow hallway to get in.
Big bathrooms. Not even a line any point from 1130 – 4.
No real dance floor, so, get used to it and dance in place.
Cool dressed up actors dancing it up, fifth element style.
I dont know if the bartenders were slow, bottle service is the way to go. +
Really good music. Adrian Luxe remixed by Avicii. SO INTO IT.
Um, the only thing that was like annoying, was that they are trying to make «I love Saturdays» happen. That’s really stupid. Try again. OH, and, they won’t stamp you if you leave and try to go to another bar for a quick sec. Stupid.

Up and coming area.
Velvet rope.
Standard door doucheyness.
Long, lit hallway.
Big space.
Always touching people even with a table. Tight squeezes.
Big bathrooms.
Good music.

If I wanted to leave a club in 2014 smelling like cigarettes I would go here.

If you’re trying to have a good time– do NOT go here…
I went to Finale this Labor Day weekend for the impromptu Clockwork performance after the cancelation of Electric Zoo. They opened the club specifically for this show. My friends and I had weekend passes to e zoo and arrived over two hours early to get in line. First people in the line– followed by other e zoo patrons and true edm fans.
None of the bouncers knew what was going on– dress code, cover charge, time of door opening. After three hours of waiting an announcement is made — if you are not on the guest list or purchasing a table for 1500 min then you should go home.
I understand it’s a club — but this was a special event for the e zoo fans– not yuppies in 5 inch heels that will sip martinis and complain about the noise. Multiple people didn’t even know who Clockwork or Steve Aoki even were.
Lastly, if you’re going to screw over 300+ already disappointed people, don’t make them wait 3 hours to do so. Ended up in BK and had a great time at output!
