In a few short months, the old Darby has become the hippest club in New York City. If you were one of the people on the guest list who waited outside for hours during Fashion Week, you understand why the newcomer is so high on the list. The club is a playground for downtown’s young, gorgeous, talented & unique.

Up&Down is anything but a suit & tie club. The crowd includes normcores, ghetto-goths, and hipsters from all corners of lower Manhattan. Many nights are themed, including May 15th's "Zombie Ball" featuring Busta Rhymes. With said clientele, you can imagine what Up&Down’s interior design looks like.

With two separate floors covered in tribal art, palm trees, and nude Polaroids, Up&Down keeps it interesting. If you aren't loving the music upstairs, venture downstairs and get some variety. While wandering, try to snap a selfie in one of the floor-to-ceiling mirrors in the back stairway before one of the bouncers tells you to choose a floor.
