    The whole experience is incredible! You have to see a show here. It is a unique theatrical experience from the moment you check-in for the night. The food was delish, the service was great and the show was incredible! There are sooooooo many talent people in that show! I felt like I was in a super exclusive club and got a real 70's disco vibe, but way cooler. If you don't experience this you will regret it.

    We attended an afternoon spoken word event. No interaction with the bar or other areas that others found objectionable.

    The general admission queue and entrance was well organized and the original building details are interesting.

    Don’t expect to sip a martini while sitting at a polished mahogany bar but do expect to see wood discretely or very obviously displayed by patrons and dancers. Drinks are very reasonable, especially for NYC. $10 cover night I went. Cash only, ATM by entrance. I apparently went a bit too early on a Thursday night, shortly after it opened at 10 PM. Just a few guys milling about. The first dancer started around 11 and it was getting busier. By midnight a couple more dancers started, in various states of undress… and less as the night went on. The dancers were, ahem, very friendly. The downstairs wasn’t open (told open only on Friday and Saturday nights) so it got quite crowded after midnight with a very mixed crowd of barely legal to older guys and everything in between. Frat boys, daddies, muscle boys, bears, you name it. Something for just about everyone. Seriously, it seems like anything goes but I’ll omit details. If you want a night of debauchery in an old school dive bar, this checks all the boxes. Negative comments are: I guess they want the entire bar to be considered a dark room but you can barely see the cash you’re giving the bartender it’s so dark; floor in back room is bumpy so be careful; only open Wednesday through Sunday. I had been told that Tuesday nights were wild and wanted to go back but they haven’t been open on Monday or Tuesday since the pandemic. Recommended for a night to meet Mr Right Now Right Here.

    I liked the venue, typical SRO kind of place. We were on balcony, sound was very good, with plenty of places to get a cocktail. It’s what it is, you’ll like it if you’re there to see something you like enough .

    Always a good time! Drinks were decent & the very young 20-30-ish crowd increased to a manageable size after 10. The sound system, however, was problematic at first, but the DJ eventually worked it out. As for the pool table, it would help if it was properly balanced so it didn't have to be tipped to retrieve balls & moved all the way to the back so that we could shoot pool all night.

    Off the beaten path, big rooms, BYOB (but there's a service charge). The system is easy to use which isn't true of every spot in the city. And they let you order outside food. Also have a happy hour special during week where karaoke is half price.

    Having been in party scene in NYC for last few years, I have been to Cielo many times. The dance floor is on the smaller side and on most days their DJ lineup is decent and nothing very special. Tables could range from 350 to 500 that are away from the dance floors and 1000+ that are right on the dance floor. Usually they have a 30 dollar entry fee as a general entry. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. Crowd is mostly young including students, young professionals and tourists who like to party. Overall, it is a mid-range club and provides a good value for the price point.

    Went here on a Saturday night with a bunch of friends. Entry was easy and no long lines, and not super crowded inside too. Just perfect. The drinks were average and the music was good

    Terrible Experience – Behavior and Unacceptable Treatment

    I’ve had the misfortune of being escorted out of this establishment twice, and it was clear that neither time was for any legitimate reason—just blatant discrimination. As a Latino gay man, I’ve been singled out and mistreated by both the staff and the flawed DJ. The first incident involved an off-duty NYPD cop, who clearly gets paid by the venue, taking it upon himself to have me escorted out for no justifiable reason. The second time, it was once again the DJ stirring up trouble and creating an unwelcoming environment, leading to me being targeted and removed.

    This establishment’s behavior is unacceptable. No one should have to experience this kind of homophobia in 2024. If you value inclusivity, respect, and human decency, I strongly urge you to avoid this place. There are plenty of other venues that know how to treat people with dignity—this is not one of them.

    This location on 47th Street has closed permanently as of a NY Daily News 26 May 2020 news article. It may be moving to a new location in 2021. You’ll have to play the Barry Manilow disco hit for the memories.
