The Scene: You're probably not getting into Marquee, so any information may be moot. A-list clubs get tired of the eventual influx of hoi polloi and have implemented a number of schemes to cull the crowd. Owners Noah Tepperberg and Jason Strauss, who went about the process of opening a club (they never had before) by touring clubs all over the country. From there, they chose the best elements, from design to sound to service. The main room has a chandelier of glass beads surrounding the retractable disco ball; it affords a "grand entrance" view of anyone ascending the wishbone staircase to the glass-enclosed VIP mezzanine (which has its own bar). Downstairs, adjacent to the main room, is the sexy "red room," which plays a more subdued soundtrack better suited to conversation. Drinks are outrageously priced, and the entire space is bottle-service-only for anyone wishing to sit. Ah, the hierarchy of celebrity can be so difficult at times.

Spotted Here: Marquee has developed a cult following among celebrities, particularly trendy young Hollywood gals in town for Fashion Week, movie premieres and VIP birthday fetes. If Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are in town, it's a good bet that they're either here or at Bungalow 8.

Can I Get In? As previously stated, probably not, since the club has a fairly strict guest-list-only policy. Your best bet is to show up on the early side or on an off night and look seriously posh.

    Reminicent of the studio 54 days, make sure your dressed real trendy! If the guy at the door doesn't like the way you look, forget it. Just hop back in a cab and go somewhere else. I have only been there on off week nights, but still worth the trip. Still packed with the "pretty people". And odds are you will see a "somebody". Plan on a good chunk of change if your going to drink, but they are made right! It is best to find a promoter that can get you on a list because you will not get in.

    Beyond the celebs and gorgeous staff, the crowd is great--hot but you could take them home to the folks cause underneath they're pretty decent! Good place to let it all hang out and enjoy.
    Best dj's in town.
    Go early, dress well, you'll make the cut, especially mid-week.

  • I thought it was pretty good

    We went to the club on a Thursday night. We didn't have any trouble getting in. I actually thought the doorman was nice. We decided to get a table with bottle service. Our total was $820, which is a bit steep. We had a great time, and met IceT, Prince, Outkast, and many others.

    If you want to rub elbows with some celebs and enjoy one of NYC's most posh club experiences, then Marquee is the place for you. However, getting in could be challenging, especially if you aren't on a guest list and don't have hundreds of dollars to spend in a night. Marquee is known to get crowded, but the good-looking guys and gals it attracts makes it quite worth it for anybody looking for that A-list association.

    Review rating : 5out of 5   nightlifernyc - 07/22/2004

    I agree with diezelnyc I do
    not know what the other
    posters are talking about,
    this place def is the hottest
    place in nyc since
    moomba. Always
    celebrities and a hot
    crowd and everyone
    working there - including
    the bouncers are totally
    courteous. Marquee is
    the best of nyc nightlife w/
    o a doubt.

  • THIS PLACE SUCKS!

    Had a reservation on 6/25 at 11, severe thunderstorms delayed us. I called at 10 explaining that we are going to be late. The woman on the phone said no problem as long as we arrive before midnite. We got there at 11:45. The idiot at the door told us he gave our table away and "if he knew us" he would have held it. Extreme attitude problem by the door staff! He turned his back on me and let in snot nosed kids that probably couldnt afford 2 drinks while we would have ordered at least 3 bottles at our table. Needless to say, I wont be back. There are much better clubs with nicer staff in NY. STAY AWAY!
