HUSH is easily one of my go to spots for gay nightlife in New York. The vibe is just genuinely fun. The space has a high energy feel that still manages to be inclusive and welcoming. What I love most is the diverse crowd. You see all kinds of people there, different ages, styles, and backgrounds, and everyone blends together naturally. It never feels cliquey or uncomfortable. It feels like a real slice of queer NYC all in one room. The nightlife manager and host, Q, did an amazing job curating the vibes. The line of events and DJs there are truly amazing. There is always something interesting on the calendar, from themed parties to special guest DJs and performances. Q also works great with the staff and customers. I have seen him solving difficult situations in a professional and friendly manner. He always brings a great vibe whenever he is running an event. He is super easy to talk to, and clearly cares about the people in the room. One night I could not find my coat after coat check, and while the staff were busy trying to help, Q personally stepped in and made sure it got sorted out. He helped me track it down and worked with the coat check team until we finally located it. That might seem like a small thing, but it really meant a lot at the end of the night and showed how attentive he is as a host. Overall, HUSH adds really positive energy to gay nightlife in NYC. It is a place where you can dance, meet new people, and just enjoy being out in the city. I always leave in a good mood, and that says everything about the kind of space they are creating. If you are looking for a fun, welcoming club experience, HUSH is absolutely worth checking out. read more

Cover fee after 11pm on Saturday night. It's very fun. I am a millennial and I like the music so if you don't like this era of music, u might not enjoy it. Male dancers on the stages with very little fabric. It was definitely a highlight for this club (LGBTQ). read more

Hush - Gay Bars Near Me - New York, New York

My second time at Hush! This time it was a much different experience, probably because we came after midnight. There was $10 cover at the door. They have nice coat check in area. There are two floors, a bar in each floor. First floor is pretty basic. The restrooms are all gender and an attendee supervises guests going in and out. Much needed service for keeping the area functional. Second floor is where the main party is. There are multiple performers, DJ is amazing, crazy good songs. The bar on second floor is smaller but good enough to serve the needs of the guests. They have tables and benches available that is used a lot by the guests. Overall it was a nice clubbing experience and would be happy to be back next time. read more

Hush has quickly become one of my favorite gay spaces in Manhattan! The staff is incredibly friendly, the crowd is diverse, and the energy is always top-tier. Whether it's a drag show that'll have you laughing your ass off, dancing way past your bedtime, or their new monthly movie nights (that have officially cured my Sunday Scaries)--there is never a dull moment here. The manager, Q, truly goes above and beyond to create a space that feels welcoming, safe, and full of life. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guest experience and the community. If you're looking for a spot to vibe, meet some amazing humans, and get your money's worth with those heavy pours (), do yourself a favor and go to Hush. 10/10 recommend. read more

To be frank, I've never been to a bar where I felt fully included and immersed in the programming. The ambiance and the culture that is cultivated is truly something special. I've never felt so safe to live my life to the fullest and have a true night out before I came to hush. Q the manager truly is a gem, he makes everyone feel welcome and makes sure that this "safe space" actually feels like a safe place for its inhabitants. This is one of the first gay bars I've been too and it left an impression on me that big I'll last for a long time. It's my favorite gay bar for a reason. If you haven't experienced it, do yourself a favor and try it out. read more

If you're Black don't go here. This club is strictly for white people and light skinned Latinos. Me and my friends were just trying to have fun and we were following what those groups of people were doing. Trying to have fun trying to get on the pole platforms all that the security guards were on our case. And tell me how I saw three white men go into a bathroom stall. No problem, but two black men went to install and the security guard was like "no no no." the bartenders are too busy dancing and God forbid you ask them for water They will talk about you to your face Your face. Awful. I've been here three times and I have not enjoyed it once. read more

The bartenders and security guards are extremely rude. I went for the first time last night just to see what the vibe was like and wow I should've stayed home! The drinks are overpriced and taste horrible. The bartenders act like they're doing you a huge favor by giving you WATER, especially the one on the first floor with short dreads. He was rude for no reason. When you have people coming in to spend their hard earned money, the least you can do is be respectful. Working shirtless doesn't give you permission to be mean just for the sake of it. I definitely will not be recommending this place to anyone and will not be back. Get off your high horse. read more

Meh. On the first night we came here, the main bar downstairs just inside the entrance was closed and all the lights were on at full brightness, so a bit odd and uninviting when you first entered the place, and only the bar and dance floor on the second floor was open. It was OK, not great and it was relatively dead so we had 1 beer and went back across the street to Industry. The second night we came, only the main bar downstairs was open, but again, less than 1/2 full. We didn't stay. read more

Love this bar they have a great dance floor on the second floor. And nice bartenders as well. on my last visit the doorman was so rude and wouldn't let me in and I just paid $50 for a cab ride to get there with a friend. As Nene Leaks would say so nasty so rude. read more

Hush - Rude Door Man. Just asked to see the person ID that's it. - Gay Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Good drinks, Friendly staff. The cover fee is bs tho. Make it a voucher where you get 50% off the first 2 drinks or something. That way, if you visit without intentions of drinking, the bar wins. If the customer comes in with intentions of supporting the business, we're both happy. read more

I been here a few times and this time I came with friends we went to another club near by and my friend phone was pocketed right away we tracked it down to hush we got to hush and one of the security/Doorman named Kevin was so kind and went above and beyond to help us retrieve the phone back and we did we was soo happy and he made our night thanks Kevin read more

Well, goodbye Therapy... hello, Hush! I guess that's what comes with change. Very nicely renovated space. It felt very welcoming and oddly better than it's predecessor. The bartenders were very nice, there was great dancers. The drag show was fantastic. Such great queens. And the drinks were much cheaper and better than the surrounding bars. I'm so happy this location opened up again. I was only there once but it was a great night. I'm not a prude, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the videography. I get it, it's a gay bar, but maybe doing a vjay instead of clips of porn. Support your local gay bar! read more

Came here during pride week and it was absolutely crazy. There's a $20 cover (cash or card) and the line moves decently quickly - it took maybe 15 minutes to get in. It's so hot inside and there's no air circulation at all so you're just sweating and getting sweated on. It especially doesn't help that they pack people in so you're getting constantly pushed. I was hit in the head at least twice. There are at least 2 floors with a different DJ on each floor. Both DJs were the worst I've ever seen - there was almost no mixing at all and they were playing the entire song from start to finish - chorus and all verses - which is much too long. The songs themselves were just alright - it was more mellow pop. People were dancing a little, but it wasn't a high-energy environment. The crowd also leans toward the 30s. The bathroom situation is also atrocious but did move pretty quickly. The whole place smelled like piss - which made sense since the floors were mysteriously very wet. There are a handful of bathroom stalls and a bunch of urinals all in one place. read more

This is an excellent gay club in the heart of NYC and close to all parts of HK. The great drinks are properly priced, the gogo dancers are super hot and the music is impressive. Definitely a favorite spot on my trips to NYC!! read more

I come visit from California i been to this club twice and have never had an issue. I go have fun, drink and enjoy the drag show and always been fun. I see all the negative reviews and it really surprises me. I say you go and be the judge. Rule of thumb- be respectful go have fun and you should be ok read more

Hush - a group of people sitting at a bar - Gay Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Hush can be a fun, there are drag shows, especially H2Hoe on Saturday nights, that are a great time. This venue suffers from the same overcrowding that Industry does even after their re-model from being Therapy. It can get really packed on the weekends and getting around/to the bathroom becomes difficult. My experience here has been a bit inconsistent as some times the bar is understaffed, and other times items get lost in coat check due to the amount of people in the bar at 2am. On the flip side I do like the renovation, the music, and the events overall. Hit or miss, Hush can definitely be an option for a fun time out. Not a huge fan of the bottle service/private booths upstairs as it takes a lot of room from the dance floor. The dance poles are also not allowed for patrons to use, and you will be reprimanded for trying to dance on them. If I'm already in the area I would consider coming here but it's not my first choice when planning a night out. read more

Bartender here charged $49.18 for 2 bourbon coke drinks. And the bourbon was well! WTH?! Be careful here. They take advantage of you if they feel you're tipsy. Lots of other options in the area that don't do shady business with their patrons. DO NOT GO HERE!! read more

I'm pretty sure the outdoor door / security guy ripped us off. Charge 10.00 a person to get in. Two us so gave him 20.00 and he put it in his pocket. No register or stand. Our local friends told us there's never a cover. I'll chalk it up to maybe a special event. Lol. Then the other door guy warned us to keep phones and wallets in our front pockets. Lastly the drinks were small and horrible and almost 40.00 for two simple cocktails. Given the atmosphere was very prison yard we did not feel safe. Left after 15 minutes. A lot of better bars. Do not go. read more

The bartenders are nice, but overall the worst thing, which ruined our entire night, was the bouncer. I wasn't even going in the bar, just walking past it, and the bouncer full on shoved a guy into me which cause me to slam into the side of a car. It was horrible, I'm still traumatized it. I don't even wanna go to a gay club again, bouncer ruins the entire night before you even get in read more

Great drinks, and atmosphere! I like going here to catch up on my RuPaul drag Race. There are plenty of drag shows here as well.

Best club in the city with the sexiest and hottest bartenders. Pedro the tall sexy man serves the best and drinks and is quick with a smile. The atmosphere is fun and sexually charged. Great parties on Thursday/Latin night and Friday. Sexy and hit crowd that drives an amazing night of drinks, dancing and....fun. read more

The drinks are a little pricey but strong. The crowd is fun, diverse and sexy. Two floors for different vibes. Lots of bartenders and bar space so service is speedy at peak times. If you're looking for a big night out in HK or Times Sq area. this is the place to be. read more

Listen I understand that clubs and bars get dirty I really do. However this place is absolutely disgusting and BOTH times my friends and I went here, we got sore throats, flus and food poisoning type symptoms. I know what you're thinking, but it was a wholesome night out and NO we didn't get ill from swapping fluids with other patrons lol. Our table was FILTHY and the staff was more concerned with us resting coats on the tables than wiping them and keeping them sanitary. read more

Literally the worst place I've ever experienced.... Just don't go, seriously so awful. Security is awful they're horribly rude and disgusting.. so disappointing read more

Very welcome addition to the neighborhood, it has risen out of the ashes of what used to be Therapy bar. They have completely remodeled and I feel more at home now. I never felt comfortable there in the Therapy days and most people I know say they prefer it now. The staff are friendly to everyone and not just other people that look like the young handsome muscle guys that they all are. The main bar on the ground floor now fills the center of the room with stools around it a few tables. They open at 5pm and do happy hour till 9pm where drinks are a couple of dollars off. Upstairs is remodeled too and like a night club vibe where they have a stage for acts, I have only been there once. Well recommended. read more

It's so hot!! Everyone is nice ! The music is popular! Atmosphere is great unforgettable experience read more

I love the place. Suppose you are in New York City, preferably if you are new to the city and love a good vibe, particularly a gay vibe. This is the place to be. read more

I agree with one fellow gay reviewer about this bar. Far too many straight females in this place. In fact, this same review can apply to most gay bars in Hell's Kitchen. Frankly, this is why for the past ten years, I've consistently said "I miss the old Chelsea vibe we had back in the day when we had clubs like the ROXY and Splash bar. Because what I see these days in Hell's Kitchen is a disgrace. And for the drink prices and cover charges they make us pay, I can say wholeheartedly that gay men deserve better. read more

Bouncer is rude and mananger does not help to solve conflicts.

Probably one of the tackiest clubs in New York the staff is absolutely low class and treats there customers with no respect be ready to be charged an entrance fee on top of pure rudeness I wouldn't even rate this poor place read more

I was out one night having some Me time. I was having a good time outside meeting new people and the first set of security guards, and I then went inside had some drinks and danced. A Security Guard came inside to have me witness something outside and asked me questions. He thanked me for my "graciousness". I went back inside to have another drink. I tried to re-enter, and I was stopped by a different looking set of Security Guards with vests on, and he told me I could not re-enter because there was complaints. Of course I said it's my right to know what the complaints were, and he told me in a very mean and nasty way I am not going tell you what the complaints are and "I am in charge" is what he said so then I immediately knew it was mad bullshit ego tripping and postering. I left a message to talk the owner. I felt this feeling of degradation, and I can't quite put my finger on it. I guess I may never know...all in all from some of the other reviews, and counting my experience it seems like the new Security detail likes to challenge other strong looking men and minorities treating them with little dignity and respect. read more
