Red Eye NY

Love this venue. It’s huge. Two floors. Great sound. The door staff is nice as are the bartenders. I’ve been a few times for the Madonna events. Espresso martinis are really good but dear lord they are potent!! Great espresso!!!

This is my second time here I was kind of disappointed. The first time the door staff kept sending me back and forth between main floor and the basement, I went there for a drag performance I was good. Second time it was like a theme Drag show again and I was meh: had to buy tickets, supposed to start at 10:00 and the show started at at 11:32pm yes +1h 30min later only to watch 3 (yes three) songs. They went for a "break" and then they did 2 songs and later a brake again and then 1 song. Like, felt like kind of scam… but the Drags did a good job. And the drinks were okay because I stick with one of the bartenders the other one made the drink really bad. Coming back? Don’t think so.

I love this place! The Red-Eye transforms itself during the day and night. I first came across it a couple weeks ago while on a biz trip. It starts as a coffee spot at 8am everyday, then moves to a daytime happy hour bar, then it has fun afternoon parties downstairs, with late-night live shows upstairs. Awesome staff, great drinks, and fun mixed crowd. I can't wait to go back! Nothing like this in California! If heading to NYC, you must visit this spot! ☆☆☆☆☆

I had a great time here! The bartender was really sweet, staff was super helpful, music fit the event theme, drink price was reasonable for this area, and I felt comfortable and safe. I don't think I've ever been to a bar or nightclub where every staff member was friendly, helpful or kind. It was really nice. I would definitely come here again! Venue is on the smaller side but not in a bad way (though I imagine it probably gets really crowded during events with more turnout)

I had a terrible experience at Red Eye NY Bar. From the moment we walked in, it felt off. The atmosphere was dingy, and the lighting was way too dark, making it difficult to even read the menu. The staff seemed completely uninterested and were slow to take our orders. It took forever to get drinks, and when they finally arrived, they were overpriced and not even that good. The cocktails were watered down, and the beer selection was limited at best. The worst part was the crowd. It was overcrowded, and there was no space to move around comfortably. The music was way too loud, making it hard to have any conversation. To top it off, the bathroom was dirty, which is never a good sign for a bar. I don’t plan on returning. There are plenty of better spots in the area with better drinks, service, and overall experience. This place was a total letdown.

What a joke… $50 for 2 drinks (a double double according to staff - I mean there is no such of a thing)… no mention of an additional cover charge to head to basement… just told us to go downstairs and enjoy the party… of 8+ people. Clearer information and less attitude from staff would be appreciated. Better bars, staff and atmosphere available elsewhere. Give it a miss and go elsewhere that’s far more entertaining.

Randomly stumbled here. The Prosecco on the menu was nice. It’s gay bar I learned ahaha, very welcoming !!
