Club Lambda

Overpriced for no reason. Woke up late and got there after 12, had to pay 20 at the door. Outdoor patio didn’t even open until just about 2:30 am. Tip is included for all drink and hookah purchases (I asked the bartender to confirm) they have a sign that says “service charge included” it should say ‘which includes tips’ to be more clear. The female bartenders were nice and friendly, made a proper cocktail, but the male staff were not friendly nor welcoming such as the hookah master and the wristband/ticket guy. The hookah master could definitely work on his attitude Music was alright seems like the same playlist at 4 west from Thursday. Drink prices are inconsistent, I ordered the same drink from 3 different people and none of the prices were the same. I even ordered a small cup once instead of the large cup and was charged the same amount. Not sure what’s going on but this place could use better management and training. I much prefer Lambda Lounge in Harlem- hookah is prepared much better, they have a selection of amazing speciality cocktails, never a cover charge at any time, drink prices are cheaper and all the staff is always friendly. This location just happened to be much closer just a walk away. Bathroom line was long every time I walked by, and there were only men on the line. It was pretty spacious though, I guess a lot of people don’t return.

I came early waited two hours in the cold for a Halloween party that started at 10 pm they didn’t start letting guests in until 11 pm which took them forever to get everyone in due to bag and ID checks. The Bouncers were rude and condescending leading my experience to be non-enjoyable before I got in. The DJ was unprofessional and lacked creativity skills, mixing music that sounded awful. And lastly the venue size was not suitable for the amount of individuals attending which led to overcrowding which in the end made my friends and I to leave early. We spent more time outside than actually in the club.

We are in NY visiting from DC. We arrived at this club last night at around 11 PM. It advertises an opening time of 10 PM. It was not open. To call the female security guard with the “set it off” cornrows unprofessional would be an understatement. After telling us the club wasn’t opened yet, she said “who shows up at a club on time?” Worse, she started popping off insults about us to the other security personnel. We were nothing but friendly to this woman. Needless to say we did not go into this club. We took another $60 Uber elsewhere. I don’t patronize and reward poor service. As I see it a business is not in business to make money if the public facing people it employs are dismissive and disrespectful. I was looking forward to having a good time at this establishment. Instead I’ll be sure to tell all that ask my experience at the door.

The bartender was handsome and great at his job. Attentive and made great drinks. It's the black guys that had a nice body and wore lip gloss. Kudos!

Atmosphere was alright. Security guard wouldn't give me my spray back, even though I was peaceful.

The owner needs to promote this place a lot better. There should be a separate Instagram page for the Brooklyn location as it can be difficult to notice which event goes with which location. We had a pretty nice time, the cups drinks were served in were really cheap, but maybe they changed that by now. Cover was expensive and not worth the entertainment inside. I suggest investing in better promotion so you can draw bigger crowds to lower the cover, especially since the club is far in the middle of an industrial area. People want the travel to be worth it.

Great, GREAT space! The vibes are immaculate and drinks are strong. Honestly, the owner needs to promote a little more, and this could be THE gay space of Brooklyn! Def will be coming back! THIS POST WAS NOT SPONSORED…. but if y’all are looking for a brand ambassador… hit me up

Been waiting SO LONG for an all the time black queer space and Lambda absolutely delivers!!! Especially the BK location! Tons of space, beautiful ambiance, great music, cheap (but strong) drinks. Thank you to the owners for paying attention to detail and making this such an amazing safe space for black/ brown LGBTQ people!
