Columbus 72:
If you've got to have a gimmick to get the crowds in, then the gimmick might as well be a funny one, right? The gimmick at Columbus 72's Saturday night "Comedy on Columbus" sure hopes so. The 8pm weekly comedy show features comics from the likes of HBO and Comedy Central, and the ever-joyful absence of a cover (2 drink minimum). Guests are then invited to stick around after the show for the night's weekly dance party. DJs in the Broadway room—decked out with a checkerboard floor—spin a mix of old school house and hip hop, while classic rock and a mix of ‘70s through the ‘90s are pumping in the neon Columbus Room. Whatever you do, understand that beggars can't be choosers in this hood—Columbus 72 happens to be one of the few spots on the UWS to even have a cabaret license.
Last week I went to Columbus 72. From the look of it from the outside I was a little skeptical but once I paid a reasonable entry fee and dealt with very nice bouncers I entered a beautiful nightclub. It has a very sheik look to it. The music was great the crowed was happy and having a great time. The bartenders were fast and efficient and very nice. It was a great affordable night out on the town!

Great club
I couldn't believe there was a club on the Upper West Side. Very cool place. They had two djs in two rooms. We reserved a banquette table for a birthday party. Rates were reasonable and a good time was had by all. Definitely going back
