Tucked away within the grandeur of Tao Downtown’s restaurant is a hidden gem and “in the know” oasis called Tao Downtown Nightclub. Separate from the restaurant, the 2500 sq foot drinks-only lounge is one of the best NYC nightclubs and has kept a low-key profile attracting VIPS and celebrities for late night/wee-hour cocktails, music and dancing.
A lot of people don’t even know there’s a nightclub, as it is tucked away in the corner of the huge Tao complex, away from the dining area. The club is located one stair down and it’s so intimate and dark, it almost feels like a speak-easy.
Tao Downtown Nightclub is one of the Meatpacking hotspots these days for those in the know, and it can be tricky to get in on weekends. It is important to note that dining at the restaurant does not guarantee entry into the club.
- Lines get very long, especially on weekends, so arrive early.
- The scene gets going after 1 AM.
- You can use the promo code DISCO to get $5 off tickets every Sunday.
- The nightclub is not attached to the restaurant for the public – only exclusive VIPs can gain access to the club through the restaurant.
- Expect very expensive bottle service minimums.
