Rude bartenders, had to literally ask to be served. Draft beer was warm. Both bartenders had a chip on thier shoulders. Ruined the whole vibe.
Sux that our community can be drizzled with bad seeds instead of all coming together and unite.

The one and only lesbian bar... I love this place.

I've been going here for over a decade. I feel safe happy and welcome here. The guests are great and the staff is even better! Join in the family. The more lgbtq people the better, that's why I feel safe here.

The manager was cold and unhelpful when presented an issue with the broken jukebox, and after asking for tequila shots, we were given something that did not taste like alcohol. When I questioned what it was we were given (after paying), the bartender told me I was drunk (I had ordered one drink prior). Her attitude towards me felt like she was talking down to me. Other people of color have felt a similar experience of racism and discomfort.

Bad place to go. Unsafe. Bartenders extremely unprepared and rude to costumers. Drinks are questionable and unreliable. They only accept cash, you won't have proof of what you drank. Besides myself, I know several women who had a very bad time after going to this bar. The bar stinks, the toilets are filthy. If you go to this bar, it's better to go with friends and never alone. I attended and today I don't recommend it. There are many other places that offer much more quality and especially safety if you're queer.

My favorite bar from the ones I visited in New York. The decorations, the space, the fun and welcoming vibes, the people, the pop hits they were playing, the price of the drinks... everything was great and would love to come back if I visit New York again. A safe and fun place!

One of the best bars I have been to in NYC 🏳️‍🌈 We were there on a Monday afternoon and it was still buzzing and atmospheric as if it was a Friday or Saturday night. Deb on the bar was friendly, welcoming and hilarious, playing great tunes, drinking games and handing out free pizza! Super quirky and colourful decor inside. The happy hour is also great - $5 fizz! This bar is a must visit!!
