What People Are Saying
I WILL RETURN AGAIN AND OBSERVEVictor
Been going to Absolution for a while now, it's definitely New York's best weekly gothic party.Jez www.wintersthrall.com →
Absolution is a great place to hang out where the service is good and the music is best to lose yourself in. Good show! Cheers!John
This night has quite literally THE BEST music in the Goth/Industrial scene in NYC. I can't get a decent dance experience anywhere else. Thank you so much for all you do for people like me who are into the Goth scene and do not want to change!Wendy
So happy to see Absolution alive and well again. I miss the old nights of dancing away and going home feeling absolutely wonderful.The DJ's spin excellent music. It has been and still is all exquisite and delicious. Thank you Thank you Dj jason and family for such wonderful times.Madame Rose Noire
