Pieces

This place is a blast! It’s fabulously decorated, with upbeat staff, a lively crowd, and super fun shows. Ruby Roo was behind the bar, and I don’t think I’ve had that much fun on a Tuesday night in ages. I even came back another night just to catch the show again. Definitely a really fun spot to be!

My husband and I LOVE going here for a drink and the best bartender ever, JOHN! he really does make the best drinks to where’s it’s just the right amount of flavor and balance. Not to mention he’s super kind and funny! The atmosphere is welcoming and it literally has us there majority of our Friday nights. It’s a nice space, fantastic drinks, and you feel safe

Pieces is truly one of my favorite places in NYC, and a huge part of that is thanks to Ruby, the absolute star of a manager who makes this bar feel like home the second you walk in. The vibe is always electric — fun, welcoming, and full of life. The staff is incredible, the drinks always hit, and the drag shows are unmatched. Every night feels like a celebration, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. It’s the perfect spot for dancing, laughing, and soaking up that good happy hour energy. If you’re looking for a place that makes you feel alive, this is it. Ruby and the whole Pieces team make magic happen here. Highly recommend!

Pieces is hands down my favorite bar in NYC. There’s something for everyone here - drag shows, dance parties, bingo, watch parties, you name it! What makes it so special though is the team of staff and drag queens. From the manager, Ruby Roo, who is always so helpful in welcoming my friends and family visiting from out of town, to the excellent bar staff and servers, and finally, the amazing lineup of queens - especially Chaka Khanvict, who hosts bingo on Sundays. This was the first place to make me feel at home after moving to NYC and I look forward to every return visit!

I’ve been going to Pieces multiple times a week for 2-3 years now. All of the various bar staff, DJs, and drag queens are a delightful energy to be around and chat with. Drink service is typically prompt and you always get your money’s worth with those pours Whether you’re looking for a place with quality shows or just looking to chill out with friends (maybe even make some new ones!), Pieces is definitely a great place to check out. Highly recommend If you swing by, make sure to say hi to the manager, Ruby! I almost always find myself chatting with them at some point during a visit

I’ve been coming to Pieces for years and pretty much every Sunday for bingo since around 2019. The bar manager, Ruby, has always made it super welcoming and is helpful whenever I have a larger group, or family in town who want to join. There are countless bars in NYC, but I’m consistently drawn to this one because the bartenders are always kind and friendly so they make it feel like a fun spot to unwind after work, when I’m celebrating something, or just want to be in a Queer space. The heart of any bar is the staff and it’s a tricky thing to navigate keeping that same fun and welcoming spirit Pieces has over the years. Ruby’s been at the center of it since I’ve been going and is why I keep coming back. It’s been the same consistent place I can rely on to have a great time, and it starts from the top with management and trickles down to the patrons. I also look forward to the Halloween and especially the Christmas decorations every year! It makes it feel like the holidays whenever I walk in and holiday lights are shining. So thank you Ruby for helping keep Pieces a "home away from home" for me and my friends, helping with hiring a consistently great staff, and making Sunday Bingo the thing I look forward to most on my weekends!

I’m giving this spot a one, only because I can’t give it a 0. Just because I disagreed with how management handled a situation I am now banned for A YEAR from entering other establishments with the same security. Not only that, but the bartender proceeded to GASLIGHT me by saying I did not put my card down for a round of drinks. After 10 mins of saying they did not have my card - leading to someone else putting their card down - they magically found my card. Clearly the bartender was DRUNK and should not have been working at that time. Crazy how a VERBAL disagreement and a DRUNK bartender with too much power leads to a YEAR long ban due to "VIOLENCE" - not only in NYC but outside of it too, NATIONWIDE. I’ll save you time, don’t go here.
