Queens Pride event on 6/2/24 was decent, but I'm still thinking about how the bouncer said there…read morewas $10 cover and magnanimously offered to let five people in for the price of three. The flier said nothing about cover and NYC gays from my generation don't pay cover, so a bar charging cover on Pride is basically saying not to come in because they're full and/or about to close. When we said we were leaving, he waved us in without any cover. Was this some kind of attempted grift? I've said before that venues need to not even let people like this into the bar, much less work there.

Stopped in for the first time over the weekend and the staff made me and my best friend feel very…read morewelcomed and very safe. We enjoyed the frozen margaritas (careful, they can be dangerous in a good way!) and the service was absolutely on point. And at $10 each, the price was right for what we got and it didn't break the bank. Will be back again!

I have been going to this bar for years and I love this waterhole. But three weeks ago, this…read morebartender, a stubby muscular bald head latino bartender took advantage of me. I ordered a jack daniel whiskey shot and a bud light beer and he charged me $28 dollars which was BEYOND what this costs. I also looked through some of the comments from the other people and it seems like these bartenders take advantage of the customers. Very disappointed because the prices are already high and the greed from this bartender harms the customers experience. I called them to speak to the manager and they never answer the phone. Please MANAGER fire this bartender and replace him with an honest and friendly guy who wont abuse and take advantage of people. This bartender has tried to over charge customers before! Does he POCKET the difference??? Since then, I have drinks at home BEFORE I come here andsave money and when I go there... maybe order 2 drinks max.....Watch out for this crook and thief bartender people!!! This happened on a Saturday night when its super busy.

Loud, active, great music and great acts…read more This is a place you will miss if you are walking by too fast in the area. The one thing that you will notice is the sign from the outside and an occasional group of people outside. The service is good and the drinks are well made. Deff come here if you want to enjoy loud music and just get a pump for the night.

I came and excited to have a really nice experience. As someone who's queer myself I was really…read moreexcited to finally check out this bar. I go in and the bar is packed, which is a great sign. However, ordering a drink, of course in a packed bar is really hard. I had my jacket over a chair and someone was sitting on it and I didn't make a big deal out of it. So I sat on the chair next to mine. Again, just trying to order a drink. The person who had their stuff on the chair comes back and instead of it being between me and this person it turns into two more people jumping in on me upset that I'm sitting on someone else's chair. The bartender then gets in on it, and he starts being rude and yelling at everybody, but more so me because he was friends with the other people. Then me and the guy are laughing and making up and talking. And he comes back and yells at us again. This time for no reason. Screaming out of the top of his lungs. Needless to say I never got to replace my drinks. And I never got to see if it was a good bar because I was being yelled at by the bartender and other people. Was in there for maybe 15-20 mins. Really awful experience and it was the bartender with short black hair. Hopefully he learns to actually be kinder. Definitely didn't feel like a safe space

Para un sábado el ambiente se puso bien después de 12:30 de la noche. La música es estilo reggaeton…read moreestaba demasiado fuerte, será por que estaba debajo de una bocinas. Lugar limpio y los meseros servicial. Lo única razón porque le di menos puntuación fue por el costó. Las bebidas de las sirven en vaso de plástico como de seis onzas. Cuando recibí la cuenta era de $190. Me di cuenta por nueve bebidas estaban a $15 Ya ni en Manhattan. También vi que también incluye las bebidas del mesero sin estar avisado. El mesero me preguntó si cash o tarjeta y le dije tarjeta me querían comprar por la cuenta $259 en total. Que robo.

Went for drag brunch with friends on my birthday. Huge shoutout to Freedakulo! Love her! She was…read morethe epitome of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent and I hope she makes it to Rupaul's drag race one day!!! She was performing on her birthday! The food was good and fairly priced, they gave me a free birthday shot. Brunch minimum is $30 for drag brunch, which is the most reasonable considering I called around other gay bars for drag brunch info and found other places had a $50 minimum. If you come for drag brunch don't forget to bring cash!!!!! They were kind enough to offer change at the beginning of the show. Really considerate! Overall honestly the best drag show I have seen. You get 3 queens, not just 1 , and an unforgettable experience. Happy pride!

There wasn't any food here, too bad. ::::bathroom alert:: Pleased that the bathroom was clean. See myself coming here in the summer months and it isnt far from the trainstation. Too bad they didnt have a pool table at this location! They also let you play your own music too! I love that too.

Great beer, great people, and we were accidentally there for the end of trivia night and that looked way fun.
