Editorial Review for Love – by Chelsea Lindman
In Short
Tucked between tattoo parlors and thrift stores, this well-hidden and subterranean club-cum-lounge pumps out inventive house mixes way past the closing times of other clubs. Anything--and anyone--goes; each night is wildly eclectic yet welcoming, with a funky mix of fun-lovers sliding across the black light dance floor before landing on velvet magenta lounges. With this club's thumping sound system, it's no wonder the party often continues after-hours.

I was completely done with the club scene since I was 19 (went clubbing A LOT) until I found Club LOVE! I'm in Brooklyn most of the time, but LOVE is the ONLY place in Manhattan I know will be a guaranteed shhweet time. Fridays are regularly Dub/Grime and saturdays are mostly house/techno. Like a lot of the other reviews have said, LOVE holds no b.s. People come for music and to shred that dance floor. I've NEVER seen a crowd like I've seen @ LOVE. The CONS talked about are true. Sometimes the cover is too much for a party that's empty. It can be dark. A new security team input a new coat check policy, etc and used to be really unfriendly. After awhile, they relaxed. But in comparison with a lot of clubs in Manhattan, I'd take LOVE any day.
Pros: World reknown DJs, sound system, atmosphere, open late, lounge area
Cons: people who trash talk this place

This is what clubs are supposed to be: Nothin' but fun vibe, reasonable drink prices, no attitude, staff as cool as the crowd, and the best sound system I've heard in NYC. It's worth checking their calendar online(musicislove dot net---doesn't that address say it all?!?) to see what kind of party they're having that night. It's an eclectic mix of DJ's: from lesser knows right up to all stars like Q-Tip and Sasha (yes, of Sasha & Digweed fame). These guys play here because the vibe to the place is all about keeping it real, not the sell-out stuff you see at these rip off clubs that now dominate the scene. No pressure to buy expensive bottles, just to have a good time. Great dance floor with another cool black light room, and then a chill room regulars call the "Fraggle-Rock room". Like any real club, it tends to get really going later on. Every time we've been, we've had fun. Highly recommended indeed.
Pros: Cool vibe, best sound system in NY, no attitude, great DJ's
