Pros: Cool theme, nice people, cheesy fun.
Cons: You can only sit in the show area if you're dinning.
The Bottom Line: I say go to this place a least once. Not for the food, but just for fun.

| thkid's Full Review: The Jekyll and Hyde Club |
My theater club went to NYC this past easter. We saw a show, got a tour, typical stuff. But we did get many hours on our own. A friend of mine really wanted to go to this place and had researched it before we even went to NYC. So the four of us went, not knowing what was in store.
It was about 2:00 when we got there and we didn't have to wait at all our host for the first fifteen seconds or so was some guy in a tuxedo. I don't know who this guy was supossed to be, but I swear he had ADD/HD. He was like this insane ball of energy in a tiny tuxedo. I digress, he led us into this tunnel where, on video screen, we are met by the Cript Keeper. We're told we have to prove our metal to enter. Then spike jut out of the ceiling, and the ceiling drops in an oh so slow manner.
So after barking like dogs,(yeah dogs)we enter, and are quickly seated in The Grand Salon which is on the first floor, but when we told the waiter that we just wanted to check the place out and have some appitizers he told us that we would have to move up to the bar, and that we could choose either of the one on floors 2-4. We were also told that we could roam freely through any floor, so we did.
The place is kind of like those haunted fun-houses you find at canivals if they spent a couple million designing them. It's dark and atmosphereic with cool characters that interact with the guests. (On a side note that dude with AD/HD keept popping up every where and at one point actually asked me to buy him a Coke.) The pictures on the walls have eyes that move. There is a sorrow full werewolf, and a cool, quirky little show for the kiddies.
But a word of caution: where ever you are in the reasturant; watch what you say, someone is always listening. In fact even though we were sitting at the bar we were not immune from the "anger off the spirt's"
or should I say the extremly cool bartender we had controlling the switches to our stools. Which shrank.
I must say that the people that worked there were incredably lively. As I mentioned before the bartender was very nice and funney, and would never admite he was the one making us shrink.
The food was okay, but this really isn't a place you go for the food. You go here to have good old fashoned cheesy fun.
