Magic Hour – NYC Review

Magic Hour

Magic Hour

Ready to find a little bit of a wonderland within the big apple? Head over to Magic Hour for these vibes and you won’t be disappointed.

At the top of the Moxy hotel, the Magic Hour is decorated with very adorable pink bunnies and green walls. Additionally to this, they have different sections inside this rooftop bar/lounge with different vibes. If you’re wanting to get a view of the Empire State Building, one section here was exactly that.

The overall atmosphere is more on the social side and meeting new people here is easy. People, as well as the overall vibe, are open and nice. 
This spot is very Instagram worthy, and if you need to get the right photo, don’t worry, many other grammers are here doing the same thing. Hit those angles sis. With that being said, ladies wear a mix of dressy chic and stylish here. Guys dressed in easy, stylish clothing. Everyone seemed to be vibing in some fresh outfits.
What sets this place apart if their carousel seating. It turns slowly while you sit and drink, giving you 360 views of the entire place. Their rooftop is open all year-round but shines in the summer – as does the sun in New York City. They’re quite busy every day of the week, including their happy hours and specially packed on weekends. You’re going to want to know someone here or get on the list. If you don’t know anyone and you’re just visiting for the weekend, anticipate the line and try to get down there early! It’s worth the wait. 
 
Drinks here are about $20 a drink, but you’re sipping quality. They play a mix of EDM and Hip-Hop, and with a vibe like this, it’s hard to not say yes and keep the drinks rolling. Inside their big venue, they offer a mix of food, mini-golf, a carousel, and again, a very Instagram worthy aesthetic. 

You can bet your sweet ass Magic Hour will be seeing Mr.Nokturnal again.

Le Bain – NYC Review

Le Bain

Breathing taking views, millennial crowd, and a pool? Yeah, that’s our type. If that sounds like you, too, then give Le Bain a shot for the night.

Le Bain is easily one of the nicest rooftops in NYC. Open during the day, and the evenings, you’re bound to receive some vibrancy from the airy and positive atmosphere. Our suggestion: get there early, because there are always lines on the weekend. The doors get harder as the night goes on! “Split up if you’re a group of guys, and be early” – Mr.Nokturnal himself.

When walking in, there is a mandatory coat check, so don’t be adding that into your outfit as it will have to be removed. The dress code is more chic causal, so ladies, wear an adorable new outfit you’ve been wanting to be seen in public. And as for the gentlemen, you can’t go wrong with a button-up. Don’t get too casual, because then your entry is up to the doorman’s desecration.

The decorations are incredibly beautiful and go along with the trendy crowd it attracts. On the patio, they have an artificial turf with lounge chairs you can sit and relax in. Along with that, the pool as mentioned before is actually open. You are able to sit along or take a dip in the pool, which earns massive brownie points. Forgot your bathing suit? Don’t worry, they have a vending machine that sells them for $80.

You can get bottle service here, but if you’re not with a big group or a special event, then it doesn’t really need to happen. The drinks are around $20 for a cocktail which shouldn’t be surprising anymore considering this is NYC and an amazing spot.

The overall atmosphere is a more intimate light setting, with a good ratio of 60:40 in favor of women. The men here are more classy, and the staff does a very good job making sure it stays that way. The 2-floor club also has some party nights which would be amazing, and you should get to know a promoter at this spot to make sure you can always get in with ease.

You can catch us here, vibin’ all summer 19.

Tipsy Alchemist – Dallas Review

Tipsy Alchemist

Tipsy Alchemist – where you go to get tipsy because they serve the strongest drinks we’ve ever encountered. 

It had a great vibe, great drinks, and would make an ideal pre-game or date place. Pre-gaming here is so important if you’re younger because of the strength of the cocktails. But, if you’re looking to pick up chicks, this isn’t the place. It’s for sure a BYOG to the pre-game spot.

However, this place has a very mature crowd and would be ideal to spend the whole night if you’re over 30. They offer no cover, and a few sugar babies pop in looking to get some sugar from daddy if you know what I mean. All things considered about the statement above, the ratio was off 65:35 in favor of men.

People dressed in more upscale blazers, suits, and button ups so dress like that if you’re a guy and wear a nice dress, heels, with the cutest handbag you own if you’re a lady. It’s got the “dress as you work in a law firm” kind of vibe. 
Best days to go are Thursday-Saturday between 10pm-2am. They have a nice little awning outside, which is a much more chill vibe. It has 2 floors but the top is rarely open which is such a shame because it looked so beautiful. The staff was friendly, and it’s definitely a place people can vibe out at.

Overall, not a bad spot to start the night, or to have it as your final destination.

Waterproof – Dallas Review

Waterproof

Probably rated the worst for marketing names out there for clubs, waterproof? What the… 
But, should be the judge a club by the name or by what it brings to the table? We decided to give it a chance, and honestly, we’re happy we did. 

Waterproof is located at the top of the Statler Hotel, and the views of Downtown Dallas are seriously breathtaking. It gives off that “Miami pool with cabanas and beautiful people” vibe because that’s exactly what it has. Oh, wait.. maybe that’s why they called it waterproof? Still ridiculous either way.

This spot is open during the day and the night – but let’s focus on the nightlife, after all, we are The Nokturnal Group. The staff are very friendly, there is no cover, but the drinks are expensive and with all things considered, it makes sense. This place is great when you go with a dope group of homies, especially if you’re single and ready to mingle.  Ladies, go with the girls and you’re bound to have a good time. 

Everyone looked very stylish – and beautiful – but there was no strict dress code. Look put together, and there will be no problem. Music was typical for a rooftop with a lot of mainstream dance-pop remixes, and the ratio was decent!

An overall solid place especially Friday and Saturday nights 9pm-2am and Sunday they’re open till 12am. Definitely, a place to go to for a solid or a chill night.

Citizen- Dallas Review

Citizen

Citizen probably is one of the best places to hit in Dallas if you like beautiful decor, hip hop music, and a mature upscale crowd. The club operates between the hours of 11pm-2am and doesn’t go off till about midnight. Makes sense because people like to save the best place for last, and that’s exactly what this club is.

It’s strict towards who gets in the club and if you don’t know anyone with a table, or aren’t getting one yourself you better show up early with a lot of beautiful ladies if you want to get in.

Bottle prices range between $5-600 a bottle and you’re going to want to dress to impress. There ain’t no time to play at Citizen. There are lots of women dressed up in their best cocktail attire or the latest trends, and men typically wear collard shirts – which is the safest bet. If you’re ready to drop some serious cash on bottles, then no one really cares what you wear, they only care if it looks nice.

Our best advice for Citizen is to hop on that guest list. No one wants to wait outside when the club is lit, and no one wants to wait in the club for it to get lit, so do everyone including yourself a favor and just get on the guest list. 

Drinks range between $10-15 but don’t expect any nice dish wear – drinks are served in plastic cups which is a big downer for the environment(we are an eco-friendly establishment). Guess what? There isn’t a cover charge. Biggggg bonus!

Other exciting actives in this place included a photo booth in the back along with the smoking section. But the real seller here is the bottles, every 10 minutes it seemed a table was popping them. Beware, a lot of women want to get in on them and try to sit around and drink. However, if you don’t care then great! Because the ratio is 70:30 in favor of women. 

Overall, the best nights to go are Saturday and Sunday, but Friday and Thursday aren’t bad either. Citizen will see The Nokturnal Group again, popping bottles with the crew.

PHD Midtown – NYC Review

PHD Midtown

Checking out Manhattan for a quick summer weekend trip, and wanting those iconic rooftop views and a good time? Perfect, that’s all us at Nokturnal Group want for you.

If you’re ready to be dazzled and inspired to move to New York we have the ultimate location for you. Phd Midtown is owned by the TAO group — so you already know it’s about to blow your mind. This is their second location after having another one located downtown.

PhD is located on the 15th and 16th floor of the Dream Hotel. It is open year round but truly shines in the summer months when they open the rooftop. When you first arrive, you take an elevator to the 15th floor where you have an option to go up a flight of stairs to the 16th floor with the breathtaking views or stay.

If you choose to go up to the 16th-floor rooftop, it is more of a lounge vibe to chat with your friends, catch up on the gossip, and relax after a hard week. However, the lower floor has a completely different vibe. It has more of a club vibe with upbeat music and freedom from hassles — like a constant line of men ready to hit on anything.

This place is definitely more upscale and you should expect higher prices. After all, this is an ambient place right in the heart of the bustling capital of the world. PhD also has an upscale cover charge on weekend, men, you can expect a $75 bar tab or something similar. To avoid such prices, we strongly suggest getting on the guest list or getting there before 12. Ladies, just dress to impress and you’ll be fine.

The age range is roughly 21-mid 30’s, and the fashion is also adequate. Men usually dress in button up or a shirt with a blazer. Seeing men dressed in suits are regular because they head over to have a good time after work. Women dress classy casual for the night time and the high prices ensure that the ratio is 60:40 in favor of women. If you’re looking for a place for a girls night, this place is it!

Bartenders and bouncers are friendly, they constantly make sure you have a stamp — which could get annoying but that’s okay, just order their 10-pound Moscow Mule and you’ll forget all about them. If you and your friends are looking for bottles, they’re available upstairs and downstairs and is a decent place to get it depending on what type of person you are — bottles do enhance the fun here, though.

Best days to go are Friday to Saturday, but their Tuesday party is just as good. From grad students to lawyers, to tourists, this place is definitely somewhere worth going. The rumor wheel says PhD downtown is a better party, but PhD midtown is more women-friendly.

PhD Midtown is overall one of our favorites. The only question that remains is, when are you booking that guest list and getting down to party!

Verdict, a Mr. Nokturnal favorite
