There should be huge signs telling ppl to keep their phones in their hands bc someone swiped my friend’s phone out of her bag. I think they watch for distracted ppl who are making out. It’s really not safe to allow girls to be stranded without their phones in the city at those hours. The vibe was good otherwise. And pls make more phone announcements bc we only realized her phone was missing after an announcement at like 2 am. The alcohol is also too sweet.
All things considered, one of the safer experiences I’ve had in a bar, especially as a lesbian. I felt safe enough to leave my coat on a hanger, and the attendees generally seemed to look out for one another. Can be quite crowded, but it’s also a pretty wide open space, so I felt there was something of an equilibrium there.
Other elements of the atmosphere left something to be desired, though. Felt like the environment was designed to serve people who just turned 21, which I totally get, but what confused me most was the music. I went on a night where DJ Mariko was playing, and it was like 50 Cent, Flo Rida, and Ying Yang Twins?? Who is this for, millennial real estate agents? How about some Syd? Janelle Monae? Missy Elliott???! Straightest lesbian bar in the tri-state area.

It was my first time there last night July 21 2023 celebrating a early birthday the Bartenders where nice and cool. the only bad thing was the music suck. Ms Lisa the owner is a nice humble young lady. hopefully they could make two days night Lesbian night only.
Was vacationing in New York and my partner and i decided to visit here thinking it’d be fun. The girl at the front checking ID’s was rude to us but we said whatever and went in anyways. The cover charge is 13$ per person!! We spent over $70 that night. Drinks were insanely expensive and watered down af, had two mixed drinks each and felt nothing. Music sucked it was a bunch of repetitive EDM that was hard to dance to after one or two songs. It was wayyyy too packed in there and it was hard to dance even if you wanted to. People are jumping around dancing and it’s hard to get off the dance floor if you want to. Website is super misleading as you’re expecting a historic lgbt bar but it’s really just an overpriced night club. Wont be returning when we come back to nyc
Wow! The bouncers and security were so nice and welcoming. Def worth the $20 cover. Drinks were decent. I really enjoyed the performance of the dancers 🔥 DJ was on their game tonight, too.
I’ve been there a few times on a Saturday night and I haven’t been impressed. The drinks are watered down and expensive. My friend and I bought the same drink but for some reason she was charged more. The DJ is bad and boring plays a bunch of playlist songs from the 2000s. Last time I went my friend and I just decided to leave and go to Stonewall and the DJ a there was a thousand percent better.
Good vibes, good people, great employees. The only way they could improve it is by adding more seating areas and giving the closing Saturday DJ more playing time.
This would be a 5 star review had we not received completely unreasonable treatment by the bar management. We had a great night, enjoyed a couple drinks, and really enjoyed the vibe and the DJ until the end, when management accused me and my partner of going into the same restroom when we absolutely had not. We had gone into adjacent restrooms at the same time (which were actually filthy for the record), and as soon as we came out, we were asked to leave by the manager (?), who then immediately disappeared into the back room without letting us explain it had been a misunderstanding. This was surprising and upsetting, as we were visiting from a city without a lesbian bar scene and had been having a pleasant, relatively chill night which ended too soon.
