Central

The place is nice the music was awesome !!! But we tried getting drinks several times at the bar and every time it took like 15 minutes… We got so tired of waiting for drinks that we decided to leave … We really were loving the place but maybe they need more bartenders … There’s no reason why you have to wait so long for drinks… not even in the busiest places in Manhattan you wait that long… I would recommend having more bartender in weekends or Bartender With good experience to handle steady crowds…
PS: The drinks are seem to be water down. We order Ketel One Vodka and tasted like cheap vodka… seems like they water down the liquor

Literally a bore. The music was terrible. I just wanted to dance to some top 40, but all I got was electric by a wannabe DJ. Place was empty on a Saturday night. Way too many bartenders. Drinks are overpriced to the max. The first bartender was quite nice, she served our drinks with a smile. The second bartender was horrible. She literally didn’t want to serve us because we weren’t paying attention to her tits. Douchey guys everywhere. It’s douche town in there! Guys are so touchy feely and gross. Bouncer standing by the DJ was the only person doing his job and was attentive. He actually went and told the creepy douchey short guys to stop and leave us alone. The icing on the cake was the lady in the bathroom. She went out of her way to tell my friend that I shouldn’t finish my drink because apparently I was too drunk. Like, um, just stop lady, please? You’re making a crappy night worse. We tipped you, now stop. One star for the bouncer doing his job and another for the place being pretty. –1 for the terrible music and –974 327 for the lady in the bathroom.

Not my cup of tea…
I went here late one night to party with my roommate (who recommended the place). It was an okay experience, I do not recommend this place for a few reasons.
DIVERSITY: Mostly Italians/​American Whites/​Middle Easterners. I did not see a lot of Black Americans nor Hispanics nor Asians.
AMBIANCE: Very pretty, easy to maneuver around and walk from one end of the place to another. There were two large bars/​an area for smoking/​plenty tables for seating. Bathrooms were clean and small.
MUSIC: It was really good. A lot of up-​beat hype music was being played. 2000s to current.
DRINKS: Meh … very light with the liquor. I noticed many people stick with the beers at this place.
Overall: The crowd was chatty, Not much dancing, Guy to girl ratio was like 5 guys for 1 girl… awkward! The guys were overbearing and acted like they come from rachet city. The bouncers were simple. No problems going in. This place is one of those wannabe classy but really ain’t nothing special.

Every time I’ve come here I’ve had a fun time. Drinks are pricey but the atmosphere is great. Getting into the club after 11 may be tough, but overall in my opinion has been worth it. They even have a patio outside where you can chill and get away from the EDM for a while.

this place would be great if security took their job seriously… a few times I have seen fights break out and security not do anything about it or react way to late… this place is itching for a lawsuit!

It was 12:30 am on a Saturday night, there were about 5 other people waiting on line. The bouncers ignored us as if we were invisible. Bouncers make up a club and is a big part of a club. If the bouncer, especially the bouncer’s supervisor is not replaced I see the fall of this place soon. They are not professional at all!
No cover. Everyone seemed to be in the back by the DJ.
My friends and I decided to get bottle service. We were seated in a cramped section near the bathrooms. Mind you, our «table» hardly had any space for our bucket and glasses. So terrible. The waitress not once came over to check up on us after we gave her a generous tip. The f***!!!
The interior is elegant, sexy, and appealing but the layout is a bit funky. Music was on point all night; played house music until 2ish then switched over to hip hop and dancehall. There’s also a nice outdoor patio/​area in the back if you need to take a smoke break. The crowd was mostly Eastern European and Middle Eastern. Sausage Fest! The guys near us were creepy, kept coming to our «table», and one guy kept gyrating on me and wouldn’t leave me alone.
I really wanted to like this place considering it’s one of the few clubs in the area. I don’t recommend going unless you want a night filled with customer service that is so relentlessly terrible and guys sneaking up on you.

I went here yesterday for a friend’s birthday. It was pretty empty. Only a few tables with us being the biggest group (8 girls). Our waitress was nice but there were long periods of time where she wouldn’t come to us. We got drinks and appetizers to start which came relatively quickly. Nothing was to die for and at $ 10 an appetizer, it should’ve been better. The «Greek fries» that were supposed to have seasoning and feta were just a plate of fries with a little bit of feta sprinkled on top. I’ve had some AMAZING Greek fries before and these were not them. Kinda sucks when you get a better plate at a diner rather than a fancy place like this.
Anyway then we ordered our entrees and waited… and waited… and waited. About 45 min of waiting later, the waitress gave us a free round of lemon drop shots as an apology for the wait. Fine. At an hour, she gave another round. At this point I barely wanted the shot, let alone food. My appetite was gone. Finally after a little over an hour the entrees came and it was ok but not great and definitely not worth the hefty price tag. They blamed the wait on a private party.
Since it was so late, we ended up sticking around for the club part. They have a $ 30 limit on cards which means you either have to get a minimum 3 drinks every time you order or 2 drinks and a shot ($ 11 shots) in order to use your card. No thanks.
I won’t be returning for dinner ever again. I’ve been to the club a number of times before but don’t remember that card limit.

I went here on a Saturday for someone’s birthday. I was with a solid 3:1 girl/​guy ratio and got in quickly.
The club its self is modern and typical to what you would find in Manhattan, but the layout is weird and does not flow well. The drinks are weak and overpriced, especially for being so far out in Queens.
This place was a sausage fest. The girls I arrived with all complained that they were aggressively swarmed by short douchey Persians. The music was wack. It’s this generic euro/​house/​pop which probably does cater to the crowd in general, but it’s not good or cool or anything too which I’d want to dance all night. The whole experience was just very basic and droll. I did, however, have fun for the time I was there but that wasn’t at all due to the venue its self.
The only plus was that the staff were friendly and attentive. Also, if you’re some basic ass persian douche then this place the spot for you. Go nuts.

My girlfriends and I were out to dinner in the city (Manhattan) and the meal started winding down… One of us checked instagram and saw that Ja Rule was going to be performing at Central. Central? Hmm. Never heard of it. One of my girlfriends said that Central is in Astoria. Astoria? It seemed like another realm from where we were, but, for Ja Rule, anything is possible.
We got in a taxi and headed to Astoria.

How freakin’ cute this place is! It’s ulta-​modern, luxe décor quite frankly, shocked me. It was a pleasant surprise. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the promoters were as well. We were told where he would be performing and strategically placed ourselves right in the middle to get a good view. Well, we did. We ended up watching him from the front row and then he posed for pictures with many people (including us) afterwards.
It was the perfect amount of people. I was expecting everyone to be packed like sardines and me to be left feeling very uncomfortable. Nope. I was absolutely comfortable the entire evening AND I was wearing a WHITE blazer which left without one stain. Woooohooo.
Let’s just say that I will keep this place in mind if I am ever in the area (or maybe will see another act there soon).

So I went here for the two past weeks with some friends and we love it! The music is really good they have some old and new music. On Fridays they have live entertainment and this past Friday we saw Omarion. The drinks are the only thing that’s a little pricey $ 9 for a shot of Fireball is a little steep, but other than that looks like this will be our new hangout!

This place is a gem, a beautiful and elegant club in the heart of queens, with beautiful women, charming men, friendly waitresses and staff, what more can a person ask for? This place is nowhere near ghetto or ratchet, the décor and design of this place is worth every dollar, brand new furniture in the vip section, a fireplace by the bar and gorgeous wooden tables with funky wall interiors, dim lights, huge bars on each side of the main room with options ranging from beer to top shelf items. the martinis ranged from 12 – 14 dollars, while bottle service ranged from 175 – 850 depending on what you choose, imperia was 175, goose is 275, and bacardi is 225. the place is freaking spotless, there was so many staff around constantly cleaning up spilled drinks and napkins on the floor, even the bathroom was spotless, with marble counter tops and five clean stalls, the lines move quickly too.
the dj was great, he played a variety of music from old house, to new house, some trance, good hip hop and rap songs, the place was lively.
the outdoor patio was heated, its perfect to get some air since it is really loud inside with 0 service, of course this is ideal for smokers.
Coat check here isn’t mandatory but in the winter I feel it Is a must, it is only 3 bucks. there is no entrance fee, they offer valet parking, and all items including their sushi are decently priced.
what makes this place unique is that they have two parts of the club, the other side of the club has another dj and another bar and more tables, so if you get tired of techno you can switch over to the other room with the other dj for a different style of music.
I love how this place is large enough with enough furniture for everyone to sit, they even have these hidden hallways past the bathroom with more furniture to rest if you get tired, not once on the dancefloor was I pushed or shoved, there was a large enough space for everyone, we didn’t feel like a pack of sardines.
there was 0 fights, the vibe was great, everyone was really friendly, not once did I see anyone grill each other, 0 drama.
the security guards also don’t act like jerks, they don’t care about your background or your size, everyone is welcome here compared to other places in manhattan.
also they have live performances on Fridays, im talkin bout fat joe and Omarion, to troy ave, it cant get better then this!

I come here a few times a year mostly for birthdays etc… its Astoria so of course gets good late like everything else in astoria (hey its how us greeks get down!) around 130 – 2 idk what happens but it gets crazy in here. Great enclosed outside area where you can smoke has a bar tables everything. Perfect place for a night out IMHO

The space/​set up is weird. The décor however is pretty ok. They pretend to be something they are not– let’s not forget it’s Queens people– this isn’t Manhattan. The crowd is always the same I go there maybe every 6 months and I see the same faces! Not a coincidence. I’m sure the same people go week after week seeking their Greek husband/​wife. The drinks are weak. The bartender was cross eyed and was winking at me and offered a drink. #NoThanks #IdontDrink #ThisIsWaterImHolding

I come here like 3 – 4 times a year maybe more for birthdays… We always have a good time… But… the guys at the door are really rude like we’re getting a table, calm down no ones «cutting» the line… Bad aura from them but once inside had a blast. Our waitress catered to us all night made sure our drinks were always filled … This place does get packed I would only recommend coming here if are getting a table otherwise you’ll just be standing in this mish mosh of people. I’ve read that some reviews state people are just kind of standing there well u can’t really move much and the 2^nd you bump into that girl or guy that’s had one too many your night can take a turn for the worst haha … Have a good night and get the table it’s worth it and u can dance in your little area. Clean…
Bathrooms could be a little better the door is like right against the toilet when u open it, it’s strange lol
A little pricey on the bottles but whatever I’m sure people have paid more at places that were sh*t… Other than that, good times.

Oh sookie sookie… yes I had in there Saturday night… the ambiance and the vibes is very frat boy ish mix with a little navy here and there but the dj know how to mix if tou don’t listening to pure techno the hey this is the spot to get out your bubble and dance like a white girl with no rythm lol and they have outside seating for all tou cigarettes smokers and the drinks are very well liquor up aka fill with liquor”;)…but see next central

Cute place but guys watch out with the gold diggers. Also there is always problems to get inside. But is a nice place to chill for a couple hours if you are bored at home but don’t waste ur time thinking you will find a nice girl to date

Nice local spot. If ur looking to stay in queens, central is probably ur best bet for a good time.

It’s NOT OK to have the running theme of any establishment be «totally OK to hit girls». I’ve read 3 reviews including my own where the same scenario plays out. Juiced-​up guy hits girl, girl tries to get bouncer’s attention, bouncer does *nothing*. I’m starting to think I should have gotten the police involved. This place needs to close. Better yet, stay open. Keep these animals off the street and confined to a small area.

This place blows! My friend had her birthday here. The space itself is aesthetically beautiful, but it quickly became nauseatingly packed that Saturday night. Everyone was shoving everyone to be able to move even a few inches. The fire marshal would have had a field day here, I’m sure.
The bartenders were throwing paper napkins in the air like confetti every few minutes. By the end of the night, the floor looked like a dirty bathroom, with the napkins sticking to everyone’s shoes being dragged around like toilet paper. Classy.
So was it the sardine-​like environment, the dirty floor, or the the overpriced drinks that ruined our night? Not even. Some guy attempted to punch my friend in the face (no idea how it escalated, but classy nonetheless), missed, and hit my girl friend instead! But did hitting a girl faze this jackhole? No way. He swung and again and hit his intended target, but then ran away and hid in VIP. We told the bouncer what happened (coward was hiding right behind him), and the bouncer ignored us and let him get away with it.
Sorry we’re not dropping $$ on bottles, but the guy should have at least gotten reprimanded, if not thrown out!
A pox on you, Central! I shall never return!

I would give this place 5 stars for the music alone since I love Euro-​house, pop and Greek music. If you don’t, this may not be the place for you. It usually is a guaranteed good time! I see a lot of people wrote reviews on how it isn’t Manhattan, etc., but thats the thing — its in Queens. Basically, don’t visit this club if you want a city experience because it isn’t. Its a fun Queens club and you have to be in that type of mood.
The place is huge and nicely decorated and there is also a huge outdoor area. Its really nice in the summer but beware, it is packed with smokers.
I have to remove a star because the alcohol is not good grade. I always feel sick for two days after even if I’ve only had a few drinks. In Greece we call what they serve «bombes» and it basically means they dilute grade A liquor with various stuff. However, to be fair, I could be completely wrong about this. Just my opinion.
Food is eh. I wouldn’t come here to eat.
