Thank you for everything you do to keep attendees safe and have an enjoyable experience! I’ve been to multiple shows here now and have always had a great time, and I feel totally safe attending as a female on my own. The first time I ever went to a show at 45, I went a little too hard and got sick, and a staff member waited with me and my friends outside until a ride came and brought me water and snacks. After a show last weekend, one of our friends got a little lost in the sauce and left the venue, and a staff member helped us find him and gave me a space blanket to stay warm while we were looking. The staff definitely shows that they care and I appreciate that so much! Love the new visual setup as well! My only dislike is that the drink costs are definitely on the high end, but ticket prices are pretty affordable so it evens out.

45East is just my kind of place and I love the availability for the "DJ" world to come in, for shows to happen, in the genres of music Electronic, Dubstep, Dance, EDM, Progressive House, Chillstep, House, Drum&Bass, etc... My first time there just this night of Thurs April 21 and I'll proclaim it was BADAZZ seeing Au5 and Chime there! They tore the show up!! 👍🏼💯🔥

4 stars on atmosphere because people tend to crowd those who are shorter than them and it gets really annoying so I literally stand my ground and tell the person trying to crowd me out that I've been there ALL NIGHT and I won't be moving aside for them just because they're taller. They usually apologize and move back somewhere else besides in front of me. Thats pretty much the worst part of going to any night club where there's dancing and a headliner EDM show. They get no stars on food because they dont have food.

I appreciate the community of people that come here. The bar tenders and security are both friendly. Love the vibe and will continue to go back :). Also they do have a number of free admission shows to check out! Definitely worth it if you like EDM.

Seriously, the best venue in the city. If you like electronic music, you truly need to catch a show here. The audio is amazing, the lasers are fantastic, they have the best acts. The staff is really great, and have a safety crew, and free water for people doing their rave things. I would come here every day if I could, as it's truly Disneyland for people who enjoy electronic music, but can't travel across the country for some festival. It's highly, highly recommended.

First time attending this event at this bar and music was loud, drinks were strong but the crowd was even better. Met new people and enjoyed the night. Hot dogs are sold outside as well only downside is if you exit you can't re enter. Patio rooftop and single bar downstairs but fun night.

What a fun venue! If you’re visiting, this is the EDM venue to check out. Security helps me feel safe, vibes are always positive. As a woman, I love venues that don’t allow “creepy” or unsafe behavior - I can even attend here alone, no problem. It can get a bit crowded, but the back patio and upstairs help change up the energy and offer a lot more space. I enjoy dancing to the main act upstairs. Solid bartenders get to you quickly and the drinks are good! What else can I say? Good staff, good music, good sound, good drinks.

I have seen so many shows at this wonderful venue! The lighting and the sound in this club is like something I’ve never experienced in a small venue. With that being said the venue is small and gets packed but when the crowd gets going it really goes off! Red cube and 45 east run An amazing venue and always have their patrons in mind when it comes to safety and everything! The safety matters crew is really there to help with ANYTHING you may need! Thanks 45 for being awesome

Great EDM atmosphere with fair pricing! They always have well known artists performing that make the experience worthwhile! Very spacious club with a great layout for dancing, VIP, and bar lines. Security guards are friendly and sexy so that's a plus too ha!

I don't usually leave reviews but I noticed that 45 East has some negative reviews and thought it might be helpful to share an honest take on the place. Last night was my first time at 45 east, so I don't know what it was like in the past. Overall, it was a really great time and nice spot. Parking: If you arrive before opening, there's plenty of street parking. But later in the evening it's hard to find a spot. I did see a few homeless but nothing too crazy. Security: The other reviews said that security was lax. When I was there, I did see a bunch of security checking on people frequently. They had security checking people as they came in. Bars: There are two bars. The main one is on the ground floor and a second is upstairs. They have water stations near the bar. Floors: The main dance floor is on the ground level. This is where the main acts perform. Upstairs is a second, smaller dance floor with a small stage. The upstairs part has a balcony area and is much cooler than downstairs. Temperature: I visited mid December, so it was pretty cold except for the main dance floor which got hot towards the end.
