If you saw it in the daylight you'd just walk right by and never think it was anything more than a closed down industrial panting outfit but inside on a weekend night proves it is worth stopping in. I would have just walked by, but 3 smokers taking a break from the dance floor said, "You should go in, definitely downstairs. It's a good time." I like good times.You walk into Bowery Electric and my advice is to head by the goth chick with the people counter and head straight downstairs. You feel like you are still in the same closed down painting company as the place has a very rustic and "natural" (nice way of writing sh*tty) look with exposed brick and cement walls. This look is quickly forgotton when you hear the DJ blasting 80s & 90s music you'd expect to hear at a wedding. If you are not a hipster (see Ryan Boyle) and anywhere from 21-35 you most likely love this music.
Bonus: this place had a DJ like this:
Downstairs had a big dancefloor recessed about 6 feet from the general bar/drinking area so it was ideal people watching perch for the crew I was hanging out with. The dancefloor was a good scene. Drinks were reasonbly priced ($6 beers) and I enjoyed myself. Rolled out of there around 2:15am and it was still rocking. Definitely worth a look in my opinion.Bowery Electric
