VERS — queer bar, cocktails, snacks, and events

Fun. Friendly. This would be my neighborhood bar if it was in Palm Springs. Came in for a quick drink before a show. Ended up back after the show because I wanted to make sure the dirty martini was as good non happy hour as it was during...yes! The piano player has a QR code for song requests. Local singers from Broadway shows pop in to sing. Amazing singing to live music and the DJ actually knows the vibe and audience.

Atmosphere is good and I really wanted to like this place. Just a word to the wise *and this sadly typical in nyc post covid. But they charge you a 20% tip automatically and then hand you the payment screen with tips ranging from 20-30-% with no indication that you’ve already been charged 20%. And no itemized receipt. Disgusting money grab for 40-50% gratuity. Welcome to New York.

Vers was super cute, honestly Sam made the night. She was super sweet, on point with the drinks, and just had really good vibes. We’ll definitely be back—my boyfriend Chris and I enjoyed it. Hope to be back in New York. ✨

Vers is an incredibly chill and relaxed vibe with some of the best drinks in midtown. On top of that, the staff (and Kanga specifically) are beyond friendly and very social, which makes the entire experience that much better. Love them

Jared went above and beyond to make sure our pop-in experience was EXCEPTIONAL. Not only did they write a note of places to hit up while we were headed up the strip, but they also made arrangements to make sure my friend (who’s birthday weekend we were celebrating..) (Britney spears…) played throughout the bar. Cannot speak highly enough. Loves it. Vibes fer sure!

If you're in Manhattan you have to stop by Vers... cozy and inviting atmosphere, great drinks and music. Kanga is an absolute treasure... attentive and so sweet.

We visit VERS everytime we go to NYC. It has become our favorite place to grab a drink. I credit the incredible bartender Billy Luce-Murray. He's the BEST!
