1 OAK New York, Venue Description

The Patrick-McMullan photographed crowd flock to this Chelsea lounge, from power players Richie Akiva and Scott Sartiano—both of Butter—to Jeffrey Jah, mastermind behind Lotus. If you make it past the tough door, you’re almost sure to spot a celeb or two sipping Dom Perignon from one of the few, coveted tables. As one the city’s glittering clubs du jour, 1 Oak is stuffed to the gills with models, fashionistas, and bespoke bankers. If you, mere mortal, do make your way into the expansive room beneath the raw, oak-lined ceiling, don’t forget to make your way down to the pimped-out bathrooms—the pitch-black individual stalls feature gold basins and an oversized image of a gold gun on the wall.

MODEL AGENT
THE PLACE WAS JUST OK, IT'S JUST ANOTHER VENUE WITH THE SAME PPL, SAME PROMOTERS, SAME MUSIC AND DISCIMINATING DOORMAN.

MY OPINION, NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, THE PPL MAKES THE VENUE FUN. I GO THERE WITH MY PPLS ALL THE TIME. I HAD ONLY ONE BAD EXPERIENCE WHICH WAS WITH THE DOORMAN. I HAD ON PROPER ATTIRE AND I WAS WITH A FELLOW MODEL AGENT. THE PROMOTER CAME OUT TO GET US AND HE LET THE DOORMAN KNOW WHO WE ARE. THE DOORMAN LOOKS AT MY COWORKER AND SAY'S "HE'S COOL" AND THEN LOOK AT ME LIKE I HAD THE H1N1 VIRUS AND DIDN'T WANT TO LET ME IN LIKE I WAS A HOODLUM. SO WHILE WE'RE GOING IN, HE TELLS ME TO TAKE OFF MY HAT (WHICH WAS A FIRST) BUT IT WAS OK, I TOOK IT OFF UPON ENTRY. I GET IN AND I SEE HALF THE VENUE WITH YANKEE FITTED BASEBALL CAPS ON. NOW I'M MAD AS HELL B/C I HAD ON AN A/X SCULLY WHICH IS A DESIGNER BRAND FOR A VENUE LIKE 1 OAK. SO I PUT MY HAT BACK ON. THE DOORMAN WAS BEHIND ME LIKE AS IF HE WAS FOLLOWING ME. HE TELLS ME "I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO TAKE YOUR HAT OFF" I'M TELLING HIM HALF THE CLUB HAVE ON HATS. HE'S LIKE I DON'T CARE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THAT BUT I CALL THAT DISCRIMINATING. IT IS WHAT IT IS BUT IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS FOR HIM TO SINGLE ME OUT. SO RATHER THAN MAKE A SCENE, I TOOK MY HAT OFF AND IT KILLED MY NIGHT. I HAD TO LEAVE THE GIRLS I KNOW AND I LEFT.

LIKE I SAID, THE PLACE WAS OK BUT THE PPL THEY GIVE POWER TO AT THE DOOR WILL MAKE THE PLACE GO DOWN AND PPL WILL GIVE NEGATIVE OPINIONS.

ITS NOT MY STYLE, I JUST LIKE TO GO OUT, GOOD MUSIC, COOL PEOPLE, AND SICK FASHION STYLES THAT I LIKE TO SEE ALL THE PRETTY LADIES OUT THERE WEARING. DONT GET ME WRONG, I WONT SHY AWAY FROM BUYING A BOTTLE OR 5, I HAVE BEEN KNOW TO GET A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL ALL IN GOOD FUN. OK, NOW LETS GET STARTED ABOUT THIS CLUB THEY CALL "1 OAK". I ASKED AND WAS TOLD STANDS FOR "ONE OF A KIND" AND THAT IT IS, I WILL ADMIT THAT, IT "SUCKS" ! THE WORST NIGHT OUT OF MY LIFE ! I WAS TREATED LOW CLASS, I WAS WITH 6 OF THE MOST BEAUTIFULL WOMAN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN, AND THEY WERE LETTING IN 10FT WOMAN THAT WERE 60LBS. AND MOST, DRESSED LIKE CRAP, NO STYLE AT ALL. THE WOMAN I WAS WITH HAD ON D&G, LOUIE.V, PRADA, AND I KNOW, I BOUGHT IT !! HIGH HEELS, HAIR & MAKE UP PERFECT, BUT THATS NOT WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ? WHAT? THEY ARE ALWAYS BOASTING ABOUT THERE CELEB CROWD? THATS A LAUGH, NOTHING BUT LITTLE WANA BE CELEBS, LITTLE GOSSIP GIRLS, HOW OLD ARE THEY, 19? AND I ALSO SPOKE TO A FEW FRIENDS OF MINE IN THE INDUSTRY, AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE LEADERS OF THIS s#*! BOX THEY CALL A CLUB RICHIE AKIVA AND SCOTT PAY BIG MONEY TO THE REAL CELEBS THAT SHOW UP, AND MAKE SURE THAT PAGE SIX, OR WHAT EVER MEDIA HOUND THEY CAN CONVINCE TO COME DOWN THAT NIGHT GET IT OUT THERE !! WHAT A JOKE !! AND THE STAFF WAS SOOOOO DISRESPECTFULL, I WAS TEMPTED TO PUNCH THE BARTENDER IN THE MOUTH, &20 FOR A GLASS OF WATER WITH ICE, !! I HAVE MONEY, BUT I WILL NEVER BE SCAMED BY SOME HALF WITT THINKING HE IS A STAR CAUSE HE SERVES DRINKS !! NOW, TO THE MOST INPORTANT PART, THE MUSIC, WHO THE HELL IS SPINNG IT THAT s#*! LITTLE DJ BOOTH? THE MUSIC HAD TO BE THE WORST I HAVE EVER HEARD IN A NIGHT CLUB EVER !! NO VIBE, NO BEATS, NO ENERGY !! I COULDNT TAKE IT ANYMORE, SO I GRABED MY CREW AND LEFT, WE WENT OVER TO PACHA, 2000 PEOPLE GOING CRAZY, THE VIBE WAS SICK, THE GIRLS WERE HOT, THE LIGHTS WERE SICK !! I BOUGHT 7 BOTTLES THAT NIGHT, MADE 100 NEW FRIENDS !! I TURNED A BAD NIGHT INTO SOMETHING SPECIAL !! THANK YOU PACHA, AND YOUR STAFF !! f@#% ONE OAK, f@#% RICHIE, f@#% SCOTT !! LONG LIVE THE "OLD SCHOOL" OF N.Y.C. !! "ONE OAK" CLOSE YOUR DOORS AND DO US ALL A FAVOR !!!

Bunch of bollocks.
This place is filled with a staff full of wankers, the bartender makes the most terrible mojito. The music is a poor taste to keep the folks entertained. In fact I found it annyoing. One song was 40 minutes long and it never changed. The interior design is really creative and creates a great atmosphere for more of a retired millionaire grandfather who hunts as a hobby. After a few friends of mine got disrespected by the staff, we spoke to the manager, who was a wanker and did not to anything about it to accommodate the guests' needs. Terrible.

Worst experience ever
Me and my friends went there las satruday and this guy names Bob or something like that who apparently decides who gets in and who doesn´t started calling my friend a f@#% cunt, he told her that she is ugly and then he noticed that we were mexican (we are all blonde so I guess his ignorance didn´t let him see that we were mexican from the beginning) So he started yelling "you f@#% mexicans go eat tacos, you ugly f@#% people, we hate mexico and you should never come back here again". I don´t know about you, but for me that is racisim. Two of my friends were drunk and maybe that was enough reason not to let us in, but we have never been treated like that anywhere, and no one in Mexico would treat no one from the USA that way when you come to vacation here, even if you do things that are totally wrong for our culture. What this guy did was wrong and he sure was high on coke or something.
We go to NY very often, we spend money there, we go to places like rendez vous, gold house and a lot more, and they are always happy to see us, this was very very wrong.

Hope you actually do something about it, now that you are in a country that has come all this way as long as racism envolves, this was definitely wrong.

The most pretentious over-rated club I've ever been to! The decor was spectacular - too bad the same couldn't be same for the people and the music. It was cracked out models and geeky men dancing to wedding music flavored with a hard base beat. Never again! I can't imagine how or why this is 'THE' Club to go to!

The below review by 'kreola' is the poorest excuse of grammar I have ever seen. Please learn to properly speak our language or go back to the Domican.
