Adonis Lounge is no longer at 221 E. 58th Street. It's currently at Fairytail 500 W. 48th Street. If you know what to expect before you go you'll have a great time. It's a strip club. The dancers want to make money. And there are a lot of dancers. A basic lap dance could cost $100+, ask the cost before you say yes. I feel the space at Fairytail is way too small - uncomfortably small because there's not a lot of space to stand around and it can be a challenge to get to the bar. They should at least remove the DJ box which takes up space. The venue on E. 58th was much better. Hopefully they will move into a larger space. read more

5 stars. Just amazing Great experience, amazing dancers, and pretty cheap. Drinks were strong but we all know why read more

"20 bucks for a feel-up" The bad: I am not a big fan of places with go-go dancers but at these places the dancers stay on the bar. This great for me as long as they do not block my line of sight with the bartender when I need another drink. However, Fairytail brings the dancers to your level. So, when you arrive there are 10-15 muscled-out guys looking for "customers." Do not get me wrong some of the guys are nice eye candy. However, the annoying part is that some of the dancers are WAAAAAYYYY to aggressive in getting you to purchase a lap dance. FYI: it is 20 bucks per song (that's word on the street). Ok, if I tell you that I did not come here for a lap dance then do not ask me again 15, 30, or 45 minutes later. Maybe you have to pay the dancers 5-10 bucks for them to leave you alone. The good: So why do I go here? I'm my defense, I have been here only two times. But, I will say that the music here is AWESOME. The house DJ plays a nice mix of music from the 90s, early 00s and today. Even though the dance floor is kind of small and crawling with dudes trying to make you purchase a lap dance, you will find yourself grooving and singing along to a song or two. Plus and depending on the DJ, he will take requests. So, you can get your singalong on to TLC's "Waterfalls". Also, there is a great mix of people here both in age, race, and body type. I find that many of these HK bars have a specific type of client and everyone is a carbon copy of that type. But, Fairytale does not follow that formula. There is even a variety in the lap dancers . . . if you are in to that kind of stuff ;). I think there needs to be more diversity for many HK bars but that is a discussion for another type of media. So, I more than likely will return and more than likely complain about the aggressive lap dances. But hey, isn't complaining what make New Yorkers great? Oh, FYI sometimes there is a 5-10 cover and the credit/debit card minimum is 10 bucks. read more

After having a few margaritas at dinner then a couple of beers at Hardware, group consensus was that Fairtytale would be a stellar idea. Not having a prior knowledge of this place, I readily agreed. When we walked in, the place was empty and I thought we'd made a mistake. But then upon seeing the centaur, I knew we'd made the right choice. I can't describe the crowd exactly...it was a great mix. The bartenders were super friendly even when I spilled a drink as I was trying to carry a few back to my friends. The DJ could not have been any more nice or awesome. We planned on staying here for a couple of drinks but ended up there most of the night. I don't think Hans Christian Andersen would dig this place because this was one Fairytale that had a happy ending. Not that type of happy ending, you perv, I just meant it was a nice night. read more

Such a letdown. We went expecting a strip club. What we got was the same old gay club with gogo dancers. The layout of the seating is totally wrong. We felt so disconnected from everything going on. If your above 60 then the dancers will pay attention to you. We paid $10 to go in to pay another $28 for two drinks and could only stand being there for 30 Minutes. We were really looking forward to going but have never been more disappointed. This is not a strip club. We thought it was going to be the new gaiety... Far from it. read more

Adonis Lounge - two men in underwear with fireworks in the background - Gay Bars Near Me - New York, New York

went last night. twice. The first time, I was with a nice guy who hugged, and comforted me for a long time. A dear friend has just passed and I really needed the comfort albeit from a total stranger for money. When I returned, the guy I liked so much had already left and the new guy wasn't as friendly. But that's not my complaint. My issue, is that he stole $150 from my pocket and there was no way to prove it. It was a nice dance, but it wasn't worth 150 bucks. what the actual fuck? -- Went again October 8,2018 --- Great time with the same guy from my last visit. He remembers me and is sweet. Paid for lots of dances with him. Ended the night with a pushy guy that practically forced me to dance with him and one other guy. He had nice balls, but it was ONE dance and he tried to take me for $300 bucks.. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!! I busted out of the place screaming "How dare you!" in his face. He was all like, here lemme buy you a shot, Im sorry. he wasn't sorry. fuck him. he ruined a perfectly nice night. I dropped nearly $1000 there that night, and that piece of shit had to go and ruin the fun. read more

I enjoyed the bartender. Place is super divey/hook up for trans which is good. But their Latin bitches. I had a good time until I was leaving. A "Girl" hit me in the face with the door and expected me to apologize to "her". The girls are money hungry and thirsty. I shall not return due to their vicious vibes. I thought it was GAY friendly. I was WRONG. read more

What to said, what to said.......well it was an experience and I did have lots of fun. However, this place is rachet. Go-go boys dancers everywhere and some try to offer you to go into individual rooms to have a personal lap dance. I will have to said some the dancers were very fun to dance with, but a lot of them are just trying to grab an unfortunate soul and suck their wallets dry. I can't blame them they need to make bank and pay the bills. read more

2.5 stars for this boxed shaped Lounge.. it's not exactly your upscale lounge but more of a place you can go dressed casual with friends we came on a friday night for a bday & they had 2 male dancers for entertainment which were great eye candy compared to the random mannequins around the lounge ---margarita: SO WEAK... omg where was the alcohol?? tasted like straight mix NOTE: coat check was available for $3 but everyone's coats were just laid out on the couches PLUS: there's ONE bathroom with 2 urinals and 1 toilet so if you're a girl LOCK THE DOOR read more

I must say that the staff were quite lovely; from the bartender, to the go-go boy (who wished us a very heartfelt good evening as we left), to the DJ. Just nice people. I just don't like the execution of this "theme". I mean...I didn't even realize the one mannequin was supposed to be a Centaur until I had been standing next to it for half an hour. Hair haphazardly glued to other mannequins....a Unicorn head....smoke effect.....it just all came off as being so cheap. Maybe they're going for the "NY gay bar day of old" thing. But the place just felt cheap, dark, and dingy, right down to the clouded plastic "glasses" (to be fair, while I wasn't too happy to have my neat whiskey served in shoddy plastic ware, the bartender was sweet and gave me my second one on the house). I'm also REALLY not a fan of pornography playing on the TV when I'm in a small bar/lounge. If I'm going to some huge space with a dance floor - a true club - sure! Let's have it! But I wasn't feeling it in this little shoebox. Again, really great staff, whom I'd love to support, and encourage you to support and see if this may be your sort of place. For me? I just wasn't digging the overall effect..... :-( read more

Cheap drinks, fun crowd. However, they have only one toilet and it does not flush. This doesn't seem to concern the staff at all. Disgusting. There are many, many gay bars in the area. If you have any respect for yourself or your community, you will go to these and not to Fairytail Lounge. read more

If you're a fan of glitter, unicorns, centaurs, and more glitter - then this is the place for you! I'm a fan of all three and have enjoyed the bar the few times that I've been there. Decently-priced drinks, good music, and a fun space make for an enjoyable happy hour/dance fest. Special note: the well-known Cazwell DJs on Friday nights and is accompanied by gogo boys on the bar. If that's not your scene, make sure you leave before 11/11:30. read more

I can understand why most people might find this small, often empty bar unappealing. However, my friends and I find it quite charming and love that it has such a relaxed vibe to it. The fairytale-themed deco is fun and whimsical. The music is usually top 40, and the drinks are relatively cheap. And perhaps, the fact that it is often empty makes it feel like our own little private discovery, where we can retreat from all the other crowded loud bars in HK. read more

Don't waste your money on this amateur hour! We saw this show (if you can call it a show) in Provincetown at the Crown & Anchor. Literally felt like a bait and switch. Dancers were NOTHING like the advertisement. We paid (gulp) $40 each for VIP tickets only to be berated by requests for dollar bills to see the show we paid for. I thought tipping was for a job well done. For example, one guy was instructed by the MC not to take off his hat (covering his face) until X dollars landed on the stage. TACKY! We expected a professional show with real dancers and got a sad hour of gogo type dancers who claimed to be "gay" (as if it matters) and weren't convincing anyone. One of the dancers did a short performance and looked so scared we never saw him again. Really....don't bother! read more

Young and old crowd. The dancers are entertaining at times, other nights they are ... well at least they have dancers... right? The bar really puts allot into such a small bar and it shows that they are trying to make your time there unique and entertaining. Overall it's a fun place to go for a bit. read more

Adonis Lounge - This picture says it all. Great small sized bar. Young crowd. - Gay Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Note that I am not into the whole ultra-posh lounge scene, and the friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere of this bar made it feel comfortable the minute that I walked through the doors. We went on a Sunday and after marveling at the lights and decorations (a few chandeliers, beads, and centaur statues really gives the place a charm), were pleasantly surprised by the mix of music and people that this place had. There were queer women, gay men, and some of the friendliest drag performers I've seen. One looked like Peaches in a pink Afro and the other like a hotter version of Nicki Minaj. Music was a departure from Top 40s, but much more danceable with a mix of Motown, dance hall, and house music. Surprising for a Sunday. The drag queens hosted a really fun open mic night and the singers (as well as the performing drag queens) were excellent. read more

I've lived above this place for over a year now and I have but one word for it: Yikes. Small. Dark. Cramped. Tacky, acid trip-esque decor. Weak drinks. Always a lot of local weirdos hanging around. Not to mention, they're awful, rude, gross neighbors to have. Keep an eye out for all of the trash and broken glass on the sidewalk the next morning. read more

Men were attractive, no doubt. The bartender was great and personable. Where the line was crossed... the dancers expect the clientele to pay a ridiculous amount for a lap dance. Paying for a lap dance isn't the issue, but entrapping guests when you indicated $20 and the dancer demands $220. It was a lap dance, not sex. Blocking guests from exiting is absolutely uncalled for. You suddenly escalated the situation into prostitution status, which is a shame. We wanted to enjoy the place but there is absolutely no chance for us to return to this place. I am not quite sure how you have stayed open for the last 5 years. read more

Here on Holiday and decided to check out Hell's Kitchen gay scene. The entry fee of $10 was ok, but the ambience and atmosphere was filled with cheap desperate strippers waiting to suck a dollar out of you. Figuratively speaking well.........literally. The drinks were over priced... Although "it is what it is" this is not a place I would recommend unless you are looking for a ratchet place with over priced drinks and cheap thirsty stripper to get off on. Then all means go for it. read more

Fairytail is everything I dreamed of as a girl and everything I want to be now but my job deems unacceptable. Glitter, feathers, mythical animals, nudity, oh my! Friend who live in my neighborhood had spoken highly of Fairytail, but I hadn't been until this year. We made the trek on an unseasonably cool summer evening west of 10th avenue to a no man's land I rarely visit. For Manhattan the mid-40s so far west can get a little icky. Keep your eyes peeled and don't walk around drunk and vulnerable. Besides the slight trek to Fairytail, I really like the place. It is niche, but I've always had a good time. The bar has go-go boys usually wearing only a jock strap (is that legal?!) and serious hardcore porn playing on the TVs in the background. I find the whole idea experimental for the US and strangely advanced. The place has silly decorations, moderately priced drinks and a small dive-club feeling. read more

Went for the Transexual Night and while the first girl was nice the rest of the night was a downhill from there. This place is tiny, ugly, looks like a dump, they give you privacy with cheapo curtains and nasty seats. The first girl asked 30 for LapDance and when I agree (she was really sexy) she took me behind a stupid curtain and asked me 10 for the space (really 10$ for a curtain that didn't provide any privacy), I give her the 10$ and she cam back and asked me for 40$ ( I thought we agree on 30$ ), I was OK here we go. after the lapdance, where a creep keep picking inside looking at us an later he approach me asking if I came, WTF? Never ever again. read more

I was the only one there. The dancers, of course, all came over and tried to get me to pay for a lap dance. I went for a lap dance with one of them. During said lap dance, the other dancers somehow got my wallet and proceed to steal all my money, around 600$. I called the police when I realized, but without any real proof they couldn't do anything. read more

I'm a girl and I come here with my gay best friends often. Fairly cheap long island iced teas for being in the city and it's usually super fun. It's a bit small, but it certainly makes for a hyped up party scene. The twerking contests are the absolute best, and the drag queens are hilarious. Perfect for guys of all ages!! read more

I love this place but I think it closed. Walked by on two consecutive nights this week (Thursday and Friday) and the place was shut. Too bad it didn't last. It had a good mix of people, good DJs, nice bartenders (and the guy with the big tooth tattoo was hot!) and unicorns!! Update - apparently they are back open for business. Great news! read more

I've been to many types of these places in my travels and have to say that this is one of the best operations I've encountered. Tim the manager is one of the best in the business. He even put me on his private mail list and get invited to private events where I have the time of my life. Will not disappoint. You can't miss Tim, he's hot AF (as he used to be a performer) my only gripe is that he is "retired". He's too young, too hot, and did I mention to hot to be retired?! Haha. I will be a regular patron. I highly suggest the philly boys when they are in town (Brody, Tall Mike, Valentino) Ridiculously hot guys. FYI, this is a STRIP bar/club/joint. Tipping is not only appreciated, it's how these guys make their money. If you're looking for a soulmate go on match.com. This is for a temporary fantasy. To their credit, the hunky go go boys are very honest and up front about their "rates" with no hidden fees, unlike some places I've visited in different parts of the country. The dancers are mostly professional but you may encounter one or two that may be pushy but that's to be expected. The guys are not arrogant. I've had a dancer once at swinging Richards come up to me and say "have you ever seen a hotter guy than me?!l" which I replied "yes, at every dance club in the country". These guys are professional and social and respect your space when you're not interested. read more

Adonis Lounge - This is Brody. Yes, he's hot AF and so professional. I will be a regular patron as long as they have this kind of talent. - Gay Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Super small venue, no beer on tap, $5 cover that's not worth it, no seating. Guys are hot but not worth it.

OK, the guys were hot... however - watch your wallet. I was stupid enough to get invited to the lap dance area - dancer did his routine (was just "OK" for being a dancer). Next thing I know he said "thats 5 songs at $20 a song". WTF???? The bar was very expensive, they included the tip for you. Plus at every turn you we were getting our wallets lightened. I went for a bachelor party, had fun w/ my friends - buying ea other a lap dances... - but NOT worth a 2nd trip. One time deal. read more

This is such a cool little spot, relaxed ambiance and well prepared drinks will get you off to a good night.

Fairytails is a fun small divey neighborhood bar. Every night is different but you will typically find an eclectic DJ playing anything from Disco to Top40, gogo boys on the bar, and lots of people chatting it up with their friends. The decor is a somewhat amazing cheesy fairytail acid trip theme, with exposed brick throughout. Sometimes the DJ is confused and wants the bar to be a dance club instead of a lounge, but there is no room with all the furniture, and instead the music drowns out the conversation I am trying to have with my friends. (if they removed a lot of the furniture, it could easily be a dance club) The owner is always around and if you befriend him he will always greet you when you arrive. - Nice touch. They also offer a "Locals" discount for anyone that lives within 5 blocks of the bar, just let them know and show your ID. Drinks are a bit expensive considering it is a dive neighborhood bar. $7 for well drinks and up from there. Ninth Ave Saloon is a better deal. Consensus Great Neighborhood Bar Great Happy Hour Expensive drinks for a dive bar. Late nights, DJ can get a bit loud. Fun different experience in Hells Kitchen read more

Place is a bit expensive, but well worth it if you're looking for the hot muscle guys fantasies are made of and even hotter lap dances. Yes, the majority of the dancers are straight, but they really make an effort when dancing and they are GORGEOUS! Definitely make sure to settle on the number of songs before beginning a lap dance; I found the guys to be honest and let you know when your time is up. read more

I went to Adonis/Fairytail with my best friend to celebrate my 21st birthday and I had the most amazing time ever! The men are BEAUTIFUL, the drinks are good (and decently priced, $8), and the music is great. The guys could have a bit more energy but overall they were still amazing to watch. Javier was by far my favorite and his private lap dance was out of this world! The sign at the front says $20 for 5 songs but I ended up getting charged $67 for 3 songs. The pricing is a little sketchy but I had no problem paying the $67 for him. Will DEFINITELY be returning. read more

This place is seedy in the good way. I went with a bunch of friends for a bachelor party. If you want lap dances and strippers this is the place for you. Keep in mind the place is expensive and when I was there the ATM was out of cash. read more

The event is back at Evolve on east 58 st. Yes it can get pricey but its the best place to get prime beef.

This dinky little joint has a lot of potential; it just doesn't live up to it. Really bad bartenders that ignore you a while before serving really lame drinks. Not worth a second visit; maybe not even the first. read more

Worst drinks I've ever had. The 2 for 1 "special liquor" drinks are watered down vodka and tonic. ALL tonic and ZERO vodka. What a waste! Bartenders act like they're doing you a favor. Never EVER again go to this place. read more

Bass is too loud. As everyone else said, not a great place. Turn down the bass, and it might semi decent.

Decided to give the place a try despite mixed reviews. The place advertises exactly what it provides. Decent drinks decent prices and $20 semi private lap dances. I'm not into that (just too shy to actually do it). I enjoyed the dancers as they were hot! read more

The bar is a small room with lots of hot guys dancing in their underwear. The constant approaches and requests for lap dances gets a little tiresome but the atmosphere is generally fun. Beware though, these guys are not all innocent flirts. I had my cash stolen from my jacket pocket by one of the dancers. A buzz kill for sure. Glad I escaped with my phone and wallet. Not unhappy that I went. Won't be back. read more
