Cute bar! Went out for a last minute birthday celebration, and it was a great time. The staff and bartenders were THE NICEST, which was great. The space is a little small, but it’s still fun to dance wherever you can find a spot. The music selection seemed obscure with some tiktok hits thrown into the mix, but we had a great time. I’d recommend it for anyone looking for a chill night out!

I had not been here in years. A friend came in from California and wanted to check it out, so we went. The staff at the door was nice but the bartender at the main bar was rude. She didn’t know how to make a common drink that my friend asked for. When she googled the drink, she then said that she could not make it. Fine, we switched up the drink. After serving us several times, I go and ask her for the same 2 drinks we had been ordering all night. She gave me mine but refused to make my friends drink with no explanation. Her entire attitude would shift, whenever my friend ordered drinks. Too bad that they don’t hire the type of bartenders they used to hire in the past, who were always friendly.

For me as a woman everything was ok, what I am very upset about is the fact that the bar tender was very rude to begin with one of us, since he just thanked her politely and they responded in a very unnecessary rude way... Then the one in charge of the restrooms also pushed him as he tried to go into the restroom. Same thing to my transgender friend, she was just trying to go to the restroom as well and was treated just as rude as the other one bc they assumed she was a man... That's why I said it was fine for me as a woman. That said makes me feel very upset bc of the discrimination that they went through at this place, it's LGBT and can't even respect people of your community, how hypocrite! The music was ok, but was lacking. ( Also I've been to gay bars and have never treated me like that for being a "girl").

It’s very small and a sweat box. The people in the front were nice and the bartenders are nice as well. But the drinks are watered down. There’s no space to walk. The line for the bathroom is everywhere and the person in charge of the line was very rude and unorganized. I went to celebrate my birthday and never again plus a $12 cover fee to enter.

I've been here a couple of times and I normally really enjoy the energy and the people! I love the bouncer and the bartenders are also always super nice! However, I'm not leaving 5 stars solely because whoever is in charge of handling the bathroom line is always so rude. The worst was the last time I went. I went with my best friend last Saturday (it was her first time there) and earlier in the night we had gone in to the bathroom together before a line had formed and it was nbd. Later on, when it had gotten more packed and there was a line, we tried to go in together and instead of just telling us two people aren't allowed in at a time, the bathroom person aggressively grabbed my friends arm and forcefully yanked her back from following me into the bathroom. This is completely unacceptable, especially in a gay space that is supposed to be a SAFE space. It would have been enough to just tell us two people can't go in together, rather than physically putting their hands on one of us when we didn't even know it wasn't allowed and were not doing anything wrong. It felt incredibly disrespectful and was so jarring.

THIS IS THE WORST LGBT BAR IN NEW YORK Let me tell you why….. Cover charge? I’ve been to several lgbt bars in nyc and out of state and never had a cover. The cover at the door is $12 a person ($13.75) if you pay with a card. Last night after spending roughly $200 on drinks (Expensive drinks) one of the bar tenders had the audacity to lean over the bar as i was trying to enjoy my one night out in awhile and asks me “if she was doing a good job and if there was anything she could improve b/c the tip i gave wasn’t “enough”. I was completely taken back and quite honestly insulted. She then tells me that the only reason she ask is because her supervisor looks at there tips and judges them off of that and that tips is the only way they get paid. I’m sorry but i am not your employer. Tips are suggestive and not a must (I still tip regardless). After that encounter i was so disgusted that i left. This place is nothing but a money grab. It’s sad to see a place that supposed to be a safe place for us become this. If you’re looking for a cool vibe place to party, good music, kind bartenders then take the 20 minute trip from henrietta’s to six26 in jersey city.
