This is our home away from home, we were so excited when they reopened and had to get there as soon as possible to see all her friends and all the familiar faces that we’ve known throughout all the years. They have amazing DJs, fantastic bartenders, and a variety of rooms to choose from. Everybody is really nice and welcoming, this is a New Jersey and East Coast staple for the dark, goth, industrial, 80s, and more types of people.

The idiots working here put me in the most mind-blowing, illegal, immoral situation. I came here with my husband and a few friends. We were dancing, drinking and having a good time. Not being roudy, disturbing, threatening, no bad behavior. I wasn’t even very drunk. (It’s 10am the next day and zero hangover) So we were just dancing by ourselves and having fun. So I’m dancing by myself when suddenly a security guard comes up to me on the dance floor and tells me I need to leave! Out of nowhere and would not explain why! I had no idea what was going on and did nothing wrong. I, of course being innocent, argued and demanded they tell me what’s going on but instead they forcefully grabbed me (I’m a petite woman of 27) dragged me up the stairs and threw me outside nearly dislocating my shoulder. I was in tears. In shock. I never believed police brutality would possibly ever affect me. This was the worst, most unreal situation. Complete violation of my rights. When I got outside, they told me it was all because of a mere ACCUSATION that I grabbed a random MAN’S BUTT! Laughing because drunk or not..that’s just not me. ??? And a mere speculation made them toss me around like a sack of potatoes, not to mention call me horrible names. I was literally falsely accused of sexual assault and without any evidence was assaulted myself by security! Note to anyone: if you want to watch someone get thrown out of a club banged and bruised, tell security they “grabbed a hiney”. Why would I grab a butt? Lol I’m married. I am just beyond belief. I am sad at the stupidity of our society and how this situation was handled. I am just appalled. Honestly, it was just unbelievable. We were just dancing alone and having a good time then next minute I’m getting forced out and carried away by some big fat dude. I can’t make this up. This place is unsafe and frankly very scary that this type of event happened. If I were you I’d be scared to go there. This was just so wrong.

From the dozens of clubs I've been to this is definitely hands down the best in terms of music and atmosphere. And it's very safe, the people who attend the club like to have fun but they don't harass others

I like QXT's but be careful with the bartender Andreia, she stole money from me. I bought a drink and paid with credit card and left a cash tip, I wrote "cash" clearly on my CC receipt. Andreia took my cash tip and added on a CC tip as well. My CC statement showed a higher total than my receipt. I reported the fraudulent charge to my CC company and the QXT manager. He never acknowledged the theft and I never heard anything from him after I reported it. I was very disappointed in the manager's response to theft from a customer. Please check your CC statements if you pay with card!

1) The Street this club is on is so nice and peaceful 2) The club goers are respectful, quiet when outside the club, and the outfits are awesome 3) The drinks are DANGEROUS 😆 taste excellent and have a heavy hand at the same time (you can't taste it though) 4) The kitchen is open ALL night, yes hot delicious food when you need something in your belly. If you haven't been you need to go. Worrying about crowds? Go on a Thursday. Want a nice club atmosphere with people and dancing? I suggest a Friday or Saturday night. They also support having local bands play their venue which is awesome.

Friend got assaulted here club did nothing, If you want to feel "safe" here this is not the place to go. They will keep staff here who violate customers and say that "they aren't like that" when confronted. Be safe and be careful of QXT.

I love love love LOVE this place. I come here every once in a while and always feel at home. But the only this I wish is that they were open more than two days. 😩🤧 I work all days of the weekends so it is hard to come by but if they we opened Sundays too then it would be AMAZING. Two days is not enough. 😢 Please consider opening at least one more day.

Best goth/alternative/underground nightclub ever! Been going there for over 10 years and is my favorite place to be. Never gets old. Patrons are super friendly and the staff is simply amazing. As we say: is home away from home. Long live to Qxt’s and the whole family! Cheers!!!

your place is too expensive to be in such a bad neighborhood

Thank you so much for all your help with my daughter's wedding reception! Yes, a goth wedding reception!!! Ronaldo helped with everything; DJ Luna was so accommodating and sweet, Ben the photographer took fantastic photos, the bar staff were very congenial, the guys who helped with breaking down tables and chairs did fast work, and the bouncer was so nice. I highly recommend QXT for your out of this world event! Affordable and such an exciting venue!

the 20 dollar cover charge is not worth going. most clubs in the city dont even charge that and they have food, parking and drink specials. this place does not.

It was good, the most bothersome part it’s intense whiteness, alt qtpoc pop out my loves!! Beloveds!!!

It’s the only goth club in the NYC area. They regularly have well-known industrial bands.

First time i went to this place. Had a great time. Bartenders were really nice the security was on point. Everyone having a great time. I enjoy my time today. I been having some personal issues socializing and going out and this place was the best to try after struggling so bad to try new places. Hope to come back soon.

I had a fabulous time! Everyone is so friendly and chill. The music was great, staff great too! I plan to go back

This is my favorite club to go in NJ... stumbled upon this club by accident leaving a concert at Prudential Center almost 2 years ago and so glad I did... I'm here about once every five or six weeks. Love the 80s new-wave alternative music with New Order Depeche Mode Cure Smith's etc... the staff (owner, bartenders, DJs even bouncers) are simply wonderful and the people that attend the club are interesting but really great bunch of people attending, everybody gets along in harmony, mingle, dance, Express their individuality and does their own thing. In my opinion there's no alternative or rock Club quite like this in New Jersey that I know of... this is my happy place. Upstairs you often have and 80s New Wave night or could be just dance night down the basement you have the Crypt with darker alternative music/goth in one room and in another room Industrial music real interesting place there's something for everybody. Ladies used to get in for free before 11 p.m. the place pretty much starts to come alive around 11:30 to 12 and is open till 3 a.m. unlike most bars in New Jersey which close at 2. Did I say that this is my happy place?? Go and try it you won't regret it...😊

Great place, a lot of memories. Just stay away from Raven and Olde Tyme Witch

Qxt's is awesome. The music, the people and the stuff are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend.

Not sure where my other 5 star detailed reviews went, so will keep this short and sweet. Always a Great Night at QXTs.

Absolutely love this place ! Best night club around. I love that you can do your own thing but also come together with others. The people are respectful and they have security. The owner is so friendly too. I cannot even do this place justice in words. You need to come see for yourself.

I can't speak on the food but I can speak on everything else. Cocktails are on point. Cheaper cover if you arrive early. Sad that it took me until I was 30 years old to discover this place considering its been around for 31 years. It's somewhere to go with friends or solo. A true time capsule. A place that is hard to describe. A place to dance. A place to be yourself. A place that somehow captures the elusiveness of what alternative really means. 3 dance floors, metal shows, punk shows, 80s nights, darkwave, industrial, karaoke, open mics, burlesque shows, random themed nights (Halloween and Black light night are my two favorite nights of the year). There really is no place quite like it. Something for everyone here. Sometimes you just have to see something for yourself first hand. If you're looking for a fun night out look no further. You can always check their regularly updated website for what's going down nightly.

I admire and respect that this club has been around serving the industrial, goth, and alternative community for what - almost 20 years? The place looks great, the DJ's are cool, the music was great, and the crowd is on par too. I know people from NYC who claim they come out to QXT's b/c it's better than the clubs in the city. I'd like to see even more people get off their asses and get out to support the community and bring it back to its glorious open-minded splendor... and then some. Keep up the good work...

My fav night spot in NJ! Dark dungeon vibe, sure -- but the most welcoming and friendly place to hang. Karaoke on Wednesdays - supportive, fun crowd. Love going for live music and themed events. The food is also really good!

Incredibly inclusive place. We always have a good time here. The drinks are fine and priced about right for a metropolitan area ($10-13 for a mixed drink). The cocktail menu is creative, especially for a quick-service bar. My only gripe is during the 80s/90s/00s dance parties, the DJ plays a lot of deep cuts and remixes, when it’s be great to hear more big hits for a party atmosphere. This is my favorite club and I’m so glad they have been around so long (I first went 20 years ago!)!!

from an "original member" of the early, beginning of industrial/EBM i must say i was pleasantly surprised with the music. most clubs of today are nothing but "posers" but this was truly a taste of the industrial past. the only reasons im giving three stars and not four/five is because the sound systems are subpar. the music may be loud, but its not clear... the sound system is obviously old and is being pushed beyond its limits. either turn the music down, or get an updated sound system that can handle the volume. other than that, i truly great experience for those nostalgic of an industrial past...

My new favorite place in Newark. Safe place for LGBTQ+ people to dance and have a great time.

Best alternative music dance club around. Better than any NYC city night, by far. It's awesome that they now have so many theme nights: goth/industrial, 80's, 90's, indie, etc. No attitudes and super friendly staff.

Always a great time! Staff is great. Atmosphere is perfect for the darker side. Awesome music and a really welcoming crowd. I have gone by myself often and always meet the great people. Tonight I went to see Life Of Agony for an intimate show and had so much fun! Thank for never letting me down QXT'S!

Magical gothic spot in Newark! I love so much this place! Keyla is a very criative and professional bartender. She can get you any delicious drink exactly the way you like. They have a very good space to dance, 3 or more bathrooms, 3 bars, 1 big stage. The staff is all friendly. The owner is very nice and charismatic person. They have 80s and 90s parties on Fridays. If you are a big fan of rock/new wave/synth-pop you should go there!

Honestly, when I think Goth nightclub food does not come to mind. That being said, I just had the best burger I've had in a very long time here. Other people were raving about their delicious food as well.

Racism period

i thought that i was going to a concert, but its more of a dance club where a band will play every hour and a half or so. Wound up waiting so long for the band i wanted to see that i just left. There's nothing wrong with this place, but just be aware that if you're going to see bands you might not want to show up when the doors open

Great nightclub for the alternative minded, been there for 31 years one of the oldest in the country!

Cool atmosphere. Good music. Nice door guy. Bartenders are super nice. Everyone is pretty cool there. Edit: NOW WITH FOOD! Great menu options at very reasonable prices. Tacos are on point! Chellie is a pretty awesome cook! HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

Tim has been long time friend and we thank his crew for always supporting This is You 33.

I have been a patron here for 5 years and this is my happy place. I’m delighted they serve food until 2am, the tacos and empanadas are to die for! I love that there’s three different bars with their own atmosphere and the staff are hella down-to-earth. Only club that plays techno and 80’s-90’s bops. Please stay open forever!!!

Awesome atmosphere, great music, great people. Dropped something at the club on New Year's, was certain it was either gone or in the garbage. Got a call from the club that they found it, and they mailed it to me! Def want to come back

Got there at around 12:30 after reading the Black Parade flyer very carefully . There was no mention of a cover charge at all . When we got there , one of the security guys was rude . Specifically the one checking IDs. Not the one giving out the purple bracelets , he was lovely . But then inside we were told there was a cover charge . Also , the other review is right . There was no parking .

Went for Fetish Night as a first-timer, and I’ll definitely be coming back. “True to this, not new to this” alternative vibes. Loved that they have 2 different floors with 3 different DJs. The alien decor & the arcade games were a cool touch. Women’s bathroom was well-maintained. They had good ventilation/air flow. Wasn’t too packed. DJs actually DJ, which is awesome! Drinks were like $12-14 each

Partner and myself went to see our favorite band on a theme night, was my first time.. had a blast. Drinks were cheap, bar service was fast and atmosphere was great.

Love this place. Try to get here a lot!

Great Bar, Great Bartenders!

Very cool place

Best Popcorn EVAR!!!

Awesome place to hang out, not a restricting environments, and multiple rooms with different music

Great music, comfortable inclusive environment. Always a good time!

Great time and DJ on Friday!

Came here after dinner the other night. What a place! Great vibe and the cocktails were a nice way to cap off our wonderful evening with friends. I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun time to come to QXT.

I thought my fiance's jacket was stolen, but after twins my brain is obviously not working. They were absolutely superb in their handling of everything and I would go back and tell the world they're superb. I look forward to dancing there again, and I'm so sorry I was an idiot.

Great service!

Best club in Newark hands down

Love this nightclub! Don't get here too often due to the distance from our house, but it's always a treat when we do! So80s is a themed night which, you guessed it, is all 80s music. Danced the night away! Three rooms, three bars, with each room featuring a different DJ and music.

Great music and beautiful women. wow

All weirdos. Went here after a concert at Prudential center and left almost immediately.

I enjoyed the evening so much! All my interactions with security, the bartenders and dj were great! Fun crowd! Great spaces to sit and chill. Great spaces to dance. The food was so excellent! I got a roasted vegetable salad and Buffalo wings. Outstanding fun in every way, I shall return. Bravo! Just wonderful.

One of the best clubs I've been to in year's. Great people and great atmosphere. Wonderful place to go out and unwind!

Really clean an friendly establishment service is awesome an quick I would recommend for everyone to go and have fun 3 levels of different types of music playing through out the club.

Like old school clubs. 80s night and dance and techno downstairs.

Saw the CruxShadows !!! Awesome night. Thought there always feel like I'm home there. Throw on your gear and just go

Great customer service and very friendly and helpful staff. We will return again.

It's home away from home. Been coming here on and off for most of my adult life. Excellent crowd, excellent music, excellent all around!

Great music,lovely ambience,superb cocktails

90s night.. have to love the new classics

Great Special events. Like 80 or 90s night. Great goth place as well

They let the people in front of me inside without ID... they had a picture on their phone. That does not seem safe to me...????

Great people, fun and chill vibes. Awesome music and dancing!!

Dancing and great staff. Everyone is welcome.

It’s amazing place

Discrimination and racism!!!!!!!!!!

If you ain’t this spot what are you doing ? Nuff said best local spot there is ! Good drinks , good music , and the people that go here just wanna have fun and dance .. plus hot chicks doesn’t get better

Always a great time! Staff is great. Atmosphere is perfect for the darker side.

Love and miss this place so much! 💗⚘🥀🖤💫💫💫🌌

Decent music, great atmosphere and the chicks there are smokin' hott!! Everybody was pretty chilled, no complaints... AWESOME!!!👍

I've been going here for 13 years and I'm glad the place has been on a big upswing recently. There's no other spots quite like this in the area short of you going to events in NYC, and those could be once-a-month events, whereas Q's is open every weekend with occasional variations on the music and scene (80's nights, 90's nights, straightforward gothic industrial, open mic's, and occasional live bands too). As a hockey fan, I've also enjoyed seeing fellow Devils fans stop in after a game since it's right down Mulberry from Prudential Center. It's probably a spot defacto sports fans wouldn't walk into otherwise but the greatest aspect of this place is that everyone can enjoy the vibe inside no matter what walk of life.

Always a great time

Great place

Awesome place
