The Great Northern

This was my first time (my brother said he'd been coming to the NY Block Party for 10 years) here and we came for the reggae. They served fire and engineered a blast! We danced the night away and watched folks just being their authentic selves. This place is for all. I mean all types of people were here just spewing good vibes. There weren't creepy dudes trying to bark at us, and we were able to just relax and dance for hours. This was just what we needed. I'm not saying there weren't cute guys, because there were lots. But they were classy and gave us space. A few chatted with us and they were gentlemen. The ladies here were gorgeous and some looked like professional dancers. Loved the moves! We will definitely go again for both the music and vibes. Thanks for the fun! Red gold and green!

Great Northern rocks, period. Great music in 3 rooms(search a bit to find the other two) and a cool crowd makes for a killer night out every time. Halloween and New Year’s parties are 🤯.

This club is honestly so refreshing in its design. The art deco meets industrial vibes are immaculate. You can get some amazing photos here and have a great night dancing.

I gave this place 5 stars for food since I enjoyed their drinks and their prices. Came here after Portola Fest this year and didn't know what to expect, except for some great music. Not only was the decor nice but the sound system was as well! I was thankful to be in a venue that wasn't just the typical black on black everything with strobe lighting, happy to see the warm hues and wood accents, with cool vintage styled lighting fixtures. Felt classy. Will definitely be coming back.

I think the best time to go to the great northern is for a block party. They know how to do it and it’s fun! It extends the space and they have it pretty dialed at this point. Beware that party will end promptly at 9pm because of noise ordinance. But they generally have an after party inside.

It's a great place for dance. I have been here several times. They normally have cool theme parties. Last night was Abba new year party. Music and performance was amazing, there wasn't many options for drinks. The other issue that bothered me was that we waited for coat check 40 minutes in the line. Ridiculous, then my friend tried to go out and leave our coats inside the car , surprisingly, they didn't let anyone in and out. It was a paid ticket. Normally, there should be wrist band and easy to go in and out. Anyways, it was frustrating. But, we had a lot of fun.

It’s not in proper downtown like Temple or other clubs. Better to book a cab for this location. They have two bar counters one of those was closed. In general they stop serving alcohol after 1:50am which was odd. It’s a big floor, kinda open floor design which I really liked. Inside ladies restroom, door locks were not functional ( 3 restrooms) but it was clean. Overall I liked that place. Other than location, I really liked this pub.
