Deko Lounge is owned and operated by the same people who run the massive Club Abyss across the street. Though Deko is billed as a lounge and is nominally more intimate, it still bumps like mad with pounding bass beats from the house, hip-hop and R&B tracks that make up most of its playlists. The beige padded walls and banquettes, sheer, flowing draperies and low tables get a louche look from saturated red lighting throughout, giving a chill vibe. But the music is designed to get the 21-and-over crowd dancing, and you won't even get that far if you're not dressed up to snuff. That means no baggy pants, jeans, work gear, sneakers or athletic wear, though it can generally be assumed that if you're fine enough, all rules are meant to be broken. Ladies get in free or half-price at some point nearly every night, which means the crowd skews to dudes. Guest DJs of considerable reknown join the party frequently, so check the web site to see if the likes of Funkmaster Flex or Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan are spinning soon.

    How is it that 18 yr olds are getting in on a constant basis. Are you keeping the liquor from being served to them. I think not. Someone should be watching over this a little tighter

  • Avoid this place like a plague

    For a club that looks huge, everyone is cramped on this one floor. The DJ spins music with the same exact beats of hip hop and rap, but maybe its for the people that were there which was predominantly an African American population. But i'm sure they would as well as everyone else would have enjoyed hip hop beats that have been on the radio. The place certainly loves to charge for each and everything thing, but can't afford to put AC in the place. If it hadn't been for someone's bday, i would never drag myself to drive a hour to get to this place in the middle of nowhere.

    I went there and was having a great time, when someone, slipped a roofie in my drink. I'm a pretty big guy, so maybe it was 2 of em. But I woke up at around 530 behind the place with a mouthful of dirt and it hurt to sit down. If that's the kind of clientele that they are attracting I don't think I'll ever be going back. I was extremely disappointed in the lax security, and the coat check was a little slow.

  • Deko lounge is horrible

    Review rating : 1out of 5   amber567xx - 02/25/2007

    I showed up at deko lounge on a Saturday night for my friends birthday and they refused to allow me in. The bouncer look at my Staten island Id and began asking me questions. I answer all of them correctly. My name age, birth, birth month, birth sign, birth stone color, year i graduated from high school etc. It was ridiculous! he them look at the necklace around my neck which is a pink heart and assumed that because it wasn't my birth stone color, that my id wasn''t me. He then looked at my shoes and said your not 5'6, which i am. I continued to explain that it was me, and he told me to go home (back to staten island) and get my passport I'D. My friend who is an officer came out and vouched that I was in fact 21 years of age and still he refused to believe it. I feel as if he was discriminating against me and the harassment i underwent by the very tall, bouncer was uncalled for. I asked to talk to a owner or manager and he refused once again. What that man put me through that night, and the upset it caused me and my friends was unbelievable. I missed my best friends birthday and at the same time I was in disbelief, on how i was treated. and to top it off they wouldn't give me back the money i payed for parking. What a terrible club!

    i use to have alot of fun at deko, I have had birthday parties and been there every week.but they have gotten really cocky and dont value there customers anymore. my first incident was a few years back i paid for parking and came out to my expodition only to find out that my windows where busted out and the guys that were on duty in the lot saw nothing and the club said they would help to fix and never did. just recently chingy was at the club and i returned i paid for my self and friends at $25.00 a piece, i went to the bar to order a drink the bar tender messed my drink up refused to fix it or give me my money back, i was thrown out of the club for calmly insisting that my drink be fixed, the manager was very unproffesional he did not hear what i had to say and didnt have the guts to tell me why i couldnt come in or even give me my money back for the drink i paid for and he took back. As i waited outside i notice a girl talking to the police complaining that a bar tender in fact threw a drink on her, whats the odds. I'm a lady so i didnt pursue a complaint but i was very upset with the managers decisions after all the customer is always right, and i was very polite but they will never get another dollar for me and i wish i would have acted out of character just a little

    It closes too early usually around 1:30..... cost too much for less than 2 hours of partying drinks are expensive as hell and you pay a grip for parking. they tell you the dress code it shoes and slacks, but they let their people come in with jeans and boots. they play good music and the ladies look goodbut alot are young though , i aint no R. Kelly.
