DROM Reviews

Good food, great drinks, great service, great music and reasonable prices

Kind of pricey for a place where the fans were all off while people were sweating. Music was good though.

I had to leave early because of the bad smell coming from the toilets at a concert I really wanted to go to. Also, water and drinks were expensive and the manager was rude.
I looked through the comments and there is a business owner who is fighting against those who made negative comments. This is very wrong, apologizing and writing that you will try to fix it will honor you and prevent your business from being misrepresented.

Best venue to see Turkish artists

This is a review of the space — not the event I attended. The space is pretty big, but a little bit clunky. I went to an event that had several hundred people and there are definitely not enough restrooms (two for the whole venue) which was really frustrating. The sound system was fine. There was a coatcheck for $5 (also a long line).

Great place, great music, drinks are little bit pricey!

dün eşimle birlikte gripin konserine gittik, genel olarak herşey gayet iyiydi ama sizden tek bir şey rica edeceğim. lütfen masaların olduğu yerdeki sandalyeleri değiştirin… ben bu kadar rahatsız sert sandalyeye hiç oturmamıştım çok çok rahatsız olduk.. Onun dışında herşeyi beğendik tekrar görüşmek üzere.

$11 for a bud light. Really?

We went to the venue for a nice evening, but the entire experience was ruined by the manager, Hülya. When the waiter politely asked if everything was okay, I honestly mentioned that I didn’t like the food. That was all—I never asked for a refund or a replacement. However, Hülya showed up uninvited, seemingly looking for an argument. Instead of handling the situation professionally, she aggressively took my plate away. But it didn’t stop there—she opened my burger with her hands, pulled out the patty, shined a flashlight on it, and squeezed it as if she was trying to prove something. In the end, she neither offered a refund nor a replacement, simply took the plate and made me pay for it.

All of this happened in the middle of the concert, with other tables watching in confusion, trying to understand what was going on. It’s truly shocking that someone this unprofessional is still in charge. If you want to experience the same humiliation, if life hasn’t humbled you enough yet, order a burger and enjoy the bullying!

Mekana güzel bir akşam geçirmek için gittik ama menajer Hülya’nın tavırları tüm deneyimi mahvetti. Garson nazikçe her şeyin iyi olup olmadığını sorduğunda, sadece dürüst bir şekilde yemeği beğenmediğimi dile getirdim. Hepsi buydu, ne para iadesi ne de değişim talep ettim. Ama Hülya, çağırmadığımız halde yanımıza gelip resmen kavga çıkarmak için uğraştı. Durumu profesyonelce yönetmek yerine agresif bir şekilde tabağımı aldı. Ama olay burada bitmedi—hamburgerimi eliyle açtı, içindeki eti çıkardı, üzerine flaş tutarak inceledi ve adeta kanıt arıyormuş gibi eti sıktı. Sonrasında hiçbir açıklama yapmadan, değiştirmeden ya da iade etmeden tabağı alıp götürdü ve parasını da ödetti.

Tüm bunlar konser sırasında yaşandı ve diğer masalarda oturan herkes şaşkınlıkla bizi izleyerek ne olduğunu anlamaya çalıştı. Bu kadar profesyonellikten uzak ve saygısız birinin nasıl hâlâ bu görevde olduğunu anlamak gerçekten zor. Aynı deneyimi yaşamak isterseniz, bu hayatta yeterince aşağılanmıyorsanız hamburger söyleyin, zorbalığın tadını çıkarın!

I went there with my friends the other night. The concert was amazing, and the place had a great vibe. The drinks weren’t the best, but the worst part by far was the customer service. Our server, genuinely tried to make things better for us, but the manager Huyla, was an absolute disaster. At the same time she was screaming at the other table with a crazy attitude. Her attitude was beyond rude, and she handled our situation with zero professionalism or basic respect. It’s honestly shocking that someone like her is in charge. If this is the kind of management they have, I wouldn’t be surprised if more people start avoiding this place. She single-handedly ruined the experience for us, and I won’t be coming back because of her. Just a heads up if you’re considering going there

*****Response to owner******
You are very rude and as you can see there is a photo of my chips w/ Guacamole and drink plus your menu. Wow it's on there. Don't judge someone for their opinion and get your facts straight. Maybe you should learn something about customer service.

Had a $20 minimum after tickets were $50. I had 1 drink and chips with guacamole. The bill was $40. Sorry that is a lot.

"Schtick A Pole In It" ** You see 5 comedians and 5 pole dancers. All were good but I wish the clothing the dancers had on and the dancing on the stage was not so stripper like. Pole dancing is an art form and this cheapened it and was not expected outside a strip club. The seating is just ok because there will be a really good chance you will have some sort of an obstructed view. As an example I could not see dancers if they were low on the pole or not standing when on the stage.

Has lots of space and great vibes

We had a great time at the concert, but the manager, Hülya, completely ruined the experience with her aggressive and disrespectful attitude. It’s surprising that the venue owner tolerates such behavior. From conversations with others during the event, it seems that many people share the same sentiment about her; everyone we talked to agreed that she was disrespectful to everyone. It's hard to understand how she is still in charge, considering her unprofessionalism.

It is a small place and the seating and bar area are very uncomfortable. The sound system is mediocre. I only attended one program but I don't think I will visit again. However, it can be preferred by those who like small places.

Concert at a bar!!!! Too small to fit concert in this place, and pricy tickets.

DROM is a gem in NYC’s East Village, offering top-quality live music, from jazz to world and ethnic sounds. The ambiance is intimate and vibrant, with a fantastic sound system and a stellar lineup of artists. A must-visit for music lovers! What an institution offering best alternative jazz, Balkan and Turkish music.

So overpriced that I could throw a private show in my apartment for less money than what they try to charge for food and drinks here.

We had a great time at the concert, but the manager, Hülya, completely ruined the experience with her aggressive and disrespectful attitude. It’s surprising that the venue owner tolerates such behavior. Even if they brought Elvis Presley, I wouldn’t come back to this place.
