Reviews of Big Shots Restaurant & Lounge (Night Club)

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!...

Kelly McLean

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

Zein Maya

It's the best, and perhaps the longest surviving, alternative dance club in the tri-state area. Over 20 years of spell-weaving and enchantments.

Pat Wilson

Great alternative club without NYC prices or problems.

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...

Great place to hang out n dance

Erin Barr

I've been going here since college (2002-2004) and it's still one of my favorite destinations. Check out Iron Garden events if you're looking for unique pan-pagan programs.

martin feuer

Malik Nichols

Open Mike night some weard some amazing stuff all fun

Amy Stargher

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!

John Cinalli

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...

Allie Clark

Superior to any other club I've been to by a long shot. Awesome staff, friendly and open-minded crowd. No BS, just drinking and dancing.

Jez Ball

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

Thank you so much for all your help with my daughter's wedding reception! Yes, a goth wedding reception!!! Rinaldo 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!

jared roche

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

Stefan Sosa

Great music especially Depeche Mode night

Prudvi P

It’s amazing place

Sean McGee

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.

Ray Perez

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!

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.

Khalid Morris

Nice people

James Geiger

The best alternative/goth club in the area. Might be the only one left..

Ryan Stark

Great goth club, or greatest goth club? Absolutely amazing staff, good drinks, and great music. I'd go more often if I had actual free time

Ines Dávila

For a drinks and music.. Good

Raphael Menendez

Love this place. Try to get here a lot!

Jeff Linkon

Great music and beautiful women. wow

Gowtama Krishna

It's good place for a boost

Joseph Merlino

A very different place. It has a basement that split into to for different types of music and upstairs is a bar, dance floor and a relaxing area. Stage isn't that great but is a fun place to hang out at.

Amy X

I don't go often, but when I do go it's nothing but fun. Love it here.

Chris Frueh

Kitty Meowsers

Best club around!!!

Piotr Platos

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

Kimberly Brown

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.

Miriam Messer

Best Popcorn EVAR!!!

Oldmanflyer Craig Willis
