Tao Downtown
Nestled away within the beauty of Tao Downtown’s restaurant is a secret treasure, the “in the know” oasis called Tao Downtown Nightclub. Separate from the restaurant, the 2500 sq foot drinks-only lounge has kept a low-key profile attracting VIPS and celebrities for late night/wee-hour cocktails, music and dancing.
A lot of people aren’t even aware that there’s a nightclub below, as it is tucked away in the corner of the huge Tao complex, away from the dining area. The club is placed one stair down and where it is so intimate and dark, it 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 challenging to get in on weekends.

Troy Liquor
Come take a walk on the wild side – girls, keep your Louis bags at home – and head into Troy Liquor Bar, a mixture of art, music and fashion. Troy Liquor Bar aims to throw it back to a simpler time, when there were hippies about and not hipsters; when the Meatpacking District was a full meat market instead of crazy champagne brunches; when it was about spending time with your friends rather than posting that perfect picture.
DJs will perform to crowds while party-goers enjoy old school cocktails and the slick interior, featuring bright colored graffiti art by Col Wallnuts. Hangout with friends in one of the 5 cozy nooks, shoot a game of pool or play a round of foosball.
1Oak
Welcome to 1Oak. After moving passed a coat-check anteroom, patrons find themselves in an open room with a roof of raw oak slats and a zigzagging black-and-white floor. The room is split by a center bar serving out $20 mixed drinks, and, in one corner, a VIP-type area with a roaring fireplace and giant artwork by Roy Nachum.
Past that area is an outdoor smoking lounge somewhat enclosed by mirrored walls. In the front of the room, you see a D.J. stage outfitted with what looks and feels like a very expensive sound system and in the back, risers for those content sitting without silver Dom Pérignon buckets in front of them. If you’d like to sit with Dom Pérignon buckets in front of you, Discotech allows you to book bottler service here. Click Upcoming Events at 1Oak to see who’s performing this weekend!
