Phoenix Bar

Had an amazing time at Phoenix Bar! The bartender was absolutely wonderful — super friendly with generous pours that made the night even better. The vibe of the place is fantastic, with great music that keeps the energy up without being overwhelming. Also worth mentioning: the bathrooms were surprisingly clean for a busy NYC bar, which is always a huge plus. Overall, a fun, welcoming spot that I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend!

Came here to support my friend's debut as a dancer and did not feel welcome. I get it. Only woman at a gay bear bar so I probably looked lost. Wasn't planning on staying long, but ended up leaving way earlier than intended after not having a good time. Bathrooms are cramped and not clean. I tried to change next to a toilet full of frothy piss. I lost $20 and no one was helpful. No cameras to check where I could've dropped it and "security" is a straight man that bothers women. Got a $10 amaretto sour that was watered down and made me throw up all my contents. At least the bartender was polite. People need a space they can go to and feel safe. I thought this place was for all queers. That doesn't seem to be the case here. It is what it is. Plenty of other queer bars in nyc so there's something for everyone no matter where you go. People's experiences will be different. Some will have a good experience. I didn't. Cheers. Edit Response: Your girl got food poisoning! Cracked the code! Your bathrooms are still gross, some doors don't lock, and I lost $20! I was still more than happy to show up for your themed night in support of my friend! Happy New Year! 😀

The young bartender was rude both times I’ve been there, and I’m not giving it a third chance. This bar used to be a cool place to spend time. Now, it’s hostile territory.

The bar is a lot of fun on club nights, but the bartenders and coat check staff are phenomenally unfriendly. That’s my only gripe about the place. Love the drag queens (especially Alotta McGriddles), even the door staff is fine. Basically come here for the djs, the diversity is great, the drinks are expectedly gay bar strong, but be ready to test your patience with the bar staff.

Pretentious bartender. Wow, visiting with my partner, we weren't acknowledged, bartender walked right by. Finally he comes up, we say hello, order a beer and then again wow, I've never seen anyone since my baby sister roll their eyes so many in less than the 3 minutes we interacted. I have friends in the service industry so morally I felt obligated to tip, but man, I've never questioned whether or not I should so strongly. Worst first impression and hopefully my last. 2 stars because they have a decent outside sitting area. Lol Check out nowhere, not far down the road and friendly bar staff to boot!

Good place with reasonable price. ATM in here , very convenient.
