This is not a gay bar. My partner and I went on Saturday night. 80% of the clientele were rowdy, straight women monopolizing the karaoke machine. The bartenders were nice enough (and slow), but it's hard to enjoy a drink when a drunk, tone-deaf girl is belching Lada Gaga. The bar even pumps the karaoke into the patio area, so no respite there. #anothergaybarruinedbyhenparties

Typical

Conforms to the standards of any midtown, big city bar - glitz, layers of pretty bottles, flat panel TV's, and an outdoor patio. Despite their rave internet reviews, the bartenders are only attentive to the local regulars (and off-duty co-workers). If you're visiting and looking to be treated as a friend, you are going home disappointed. Upshot: drinks are cheap, considering the location.

friendly but small

One bar, one patio, one quasi dance floor that no one uses. But the drinks are strong and dirt cheap. That scored big in my book. But, I do like to dance and they were lacking in that department.

Not good any more

I used to like this place and brought many friends over the first year when they started. It's not as friendly as it used to be. The crowd is nasty with attitude.

Could be an ok starter bar

Heard this is the happy hour spot. Pride weekend it wasn't happy. Really packed, which I don't mind, but it literally took 25 minutes to get one drink in a small plastic cup. The bar isn't huge, and I have been in many a packed clubs. Just seems like the staff aren't used to that kind of hustle. Was really a put off. But the bar is cute, nice patio. Know that it is on the backside of the little mall if coming in off Central. I would have to try it on a regular weekend to see if this was just a fluke. But knowing it was Pride I think they could have been a little better prepared.
