Review of Culture Club/NerveAna in New York City

Culture Club/NerveAna is located in 179 Varick Street, between King and Charlton Streets in the village on the lower west side. It's a rather unsanitary neighborhood if you ask me, beware of big cockroaches in the summer time (don't worry, I'm talking about outside not in the club) unless you're from Poverty Land and you're into that sort of thing. Other than that, it's lower Manhattan, go figure.

Prices at Culture Club/NerveAna

Admission costs are typically $20 regular price, $15 if you're on some kind of special list, birthday list members get in free all night, one admission fee get you into both Culture Club and NerveAna. Average drink costs are around $5.

Atmosphere of Culture Club/NerveAna

Wow, Culture Club and NerveAna are pure time machines to the 80s and 90s decades, simply put. Both of these clubs feel like Webster Hall's cousins and have nostalgia written all over them. It's almost as if you were transported to another time when music was actually good and listenable in this place.

Both Culture Club and NerveAna contain relics and artifacts from both the 1980s and 1990s - pictures, videos of hits like "Cocktail" and "St. Elmo's Fire" play on hanging TV sets, film posters, painted murals of "The Breakfast Club" stars, Milli Vanilli, and Toni Basil. Even the signature cocktails are there (The Ricky Martin, The Monica, The John Wayne Bobbitt, etc.) Culture Club and NerveAna are true club banging powerhouses. Trust me, once you step into this venue, you won't even feel like stepping back outside to hear the retard artists of today's radio who speak in auto-tune.

Music at Culture Club/NerveAna

Both clubs contain the best of the best 80s and 90s Bubblegum Pop, Freestyle, MTV Hits, Old-School House, and Hip Hop. I think I nearly lost count on all of the hit 90s and 80s singles that my fiance and I danced to at this place. The music blends in so well with the individual backgrounds and the atmosphere of Culture Club and NerveAna. The owner of both of these nightclubs obviously wants to entrench you into the decades of the 80s and 90s as much as humanly possible in terms of sights and sounds.

Overall

Unfortunately, Culture Club and NerveAna was closed for renovations shortly after 2007, but now it's simply stating that it is closed period. My fiance and I have called them personally several times to ask when they are reopening but we were never given a specific date, it was always an open-ended response.

The absence of Culture Club and NerveAna is a terrible loss to the nightlife of New York City. We have never found a replacement ever since its closing, the only place that's neutral enough in terms of musical preferences is Webster Hall, everywhere else is either a 'Mad Max' 1980s junkyard like Pyramid Club or another auto-tune worshipping clone like everywhere else.
