With so many options, selecting a midtown Manhattan night club proves to be a difficult decision. Places that serve a wide variety drinks in a comfortable environment paired with friendly people rank high with club goers. Proven popularity and positive reviews place these establishments on the list of top midtown Manhattan night clubs.
Although sports fans especially enjoy a visit to the 40/40 club, anyone that visits is bound to take note of the amazing collection of sports memorabilia. The showcase includes jerseys from the small group of four baseball players who have hit 40 home runs and stolen 40 bases in the same season, such as Barry Bonds and Alfonso Soriano. The exclusivity of the highly regarded sports achievement inspired the 40/40 club owners to name the establishment in its honor. Flat screen TVs, digital sound systems, arcade games, pool tables and designer décor grace every inch of the two-floor club. Ranked as one of the best clubs owned by a musician by Blender, the 40/40 Club's proprietor Jay-Z created a variety of private lounges in addition to the main night club area. Guests must adhere to a strict dress policy that is enforced at the door. As of March 2010, the establishment didn't have a cover charge, although patrons can expect to shell out around $10 for a beer and $15 for a mixed drink.

Rated 4.4 stars out of 5 by Metromix New York users, this trendy night club in midtown Manhattan's flatiron district offers one-of-a kind experiences bordering on unusual. Most nights provide a typical DJ party, but when La Pomme hosts a specialty party guests can expect to witness art and entertainment. For example, burlesque style dancers swing from the ceiling, and other women dress as lighting fixtures and remain stationary throughout the night. With expensive drinks, occasional cover charges and a $750 minimum for a table (as of March 2010), a visit to this chic midtown Manhattan night club costs a lot more than the average. However, La Pomme offers guests something well beyond the ordinary.
