The Ritz Bar and Lounge

Threw my 30th birthday party at the Ritz and wow, what a night! Eric made everything so easy and was beyond accommodating. The staff was top-tier, the drinks did not disappoint, and the vibes were immaculate. A night I’ll never forget… even if some of my guests might 🤭 Highly recommend for any celebration.

Spontaneously wandered in on Thursday night late at night after checking out Times Square while visiting. It was Latin Night $15 cover to get in to Latin Night in downstairs & was well worth it. Good sized crowd everybody dancing & having fun all night long, DJ was excellent. A lot more people & fun than I was expecting to find on a Thursday night. Drinks were small was only downside but not a big deal to me.

Hosted my friend’s birthday at The Ritz and it was perfect from start to finish. The staff was incredibly accommodating and made the whole night feel seamless and special. The music was on point, the layout is great for groups, and the drinks were really good and affordable! Everyone working there was so friendly and welcoming—it genuinely elevated the experience. Such a fun, inclusive spot and an ideal place to celebrate. Will 100% be back!

I'm sad to see the place getting emptier and emptier. Today there were only 15 people ALL NIGHT... I wish it a speedy recovery! And it's not fair to charge admission to events like Treta, an event that's not of interest to tourists or locals.

Such a fun spot, great music, amazing crowd, and the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. The new ownership is really bringing it to life. The drag shows are a blast, and I love that there’s something different happening every night. Definitely the go-to for a good night out!

We decided to check out the NYC gay club scene, and social media brought us here. ATMOSPHERE: The long and narrow bar is very dim. The front section features a small bar with some seating. In the back was a small dance floor and an even smaller walk-up only bar. The music was good. No cover on Thursday nights. We walked in and walked out. It had nothing to do with the biz, but just me. Either I'm getting old, or am over the club scene, or was not having it that night, or a combination of all three lol. I'm now more into sitting down actually hearing and conversing with someone rather than standing around and shouting everything. OVERALL: Nice place if you want to dance. Go elsewhere for a more chill scene.

Love this place, good music, they don’t stiff you on the drinks, and the vibe hits whether it’s happy hour or packed late-night. The dance floor’s always a blast, and the new decor gives it such a fresh, fun feel. Easily one of my favorite hangs right now.
