Don't walk fast or you will pass it. Wonderful use of basement space. Definitely cool lounge atmosphere. The Midtown burger was fantastic, and the bar staff was very accommodating. Don't look for separate restroom facilities, this place is non-gender. Great space!
Amazing venue, incredible talent! Lucky Cheng's did a fantastic job putting together an unforgettable private event for us, including booking THE Yuhua Hamasaki! Can't wait to come back for their weekend drag brunch!
Saw a dinner theater show called "truffles", my first time at the Engine room. This is a cool steam punky' club that would also be great for a rave, a disco, a sexy party or some combination of the three. Will def be keeping tabs of events going on here, sure having to travel near Times Square is less than ideal,but I could be convinced to do so if I knew the venue was the caliber of the engine room!!
Lucky Cheng's is a New York institution. Like many of us renters, they've re-located a few times, but have no doubt they are still around, and these women know how to work it! In reading through some of the negative reviews, they all focus on the price, somehow forgetting the economics of a live show, with performers that need (and deserve) to be paid. All of the performers were absolutely lovely- happily chatting tables up before the show, available for selfies and for chatter. Take lots of $1s so you can make it rain - that's part of the fun. In terms of the performances- there were a lot of original acts, extremely over-the-top and very fun. Lots of great musical mash-ups mixed in with spoken word from movies to absolutely hilarious effect. Carrie had the absolute best physical comedy and facial expressions; Svetlana Stoli knows no bounds in regards to her performance. This may not be the show you expect, but come with an open mind and respect the work that goes into it and have an awesome time.
Nice location.. Nice Ambiance... Versatile DJs.. and (Cool Grown) crowd.. Cliques are normally in there own Lil bubble. Ease up people just let loose and have fun!!! I believe VIP is needed..but overall.............. my Time there was enjoyable.
