Tourist trap

After reading about this exciting new new bar I was excited that NYC had a Gay country western bar and was excited to go .... Well I went. It just another tourist trap offering the opportunity for straight tourists and women to sit back and drink way too expensive drinks while having a good laugh at Gay boys who honestly want to make something of themselves expense. This straight-owned club is nothing but an oportunistic venue to make fun of the gay men trying to be butch or trying to recreate "Oklahoma". Please don't patronize. It's no different than Lips making fun of the transgender community.


I wish it were a GAY bar again!

When they first opened, they were so cool. I loved taking visitors/guests to the only "gay country music/western bar" in NYC -- but that's changed. The Hell's Kitchen gay bar scene has been infiltrated by straight females -- who, in turn, attract straight men who beat up gay men to show how manly they are. I am a gay man and I go to gay bars, why should I fear that another man will be offended by a come-on line and attack me in what SHOULD be a "safe safe" for gay men? Sorry, too many strikes and far too uncomfortable now. I don't know what the solution is, but I won't go there if there are straight girls & guys and/or loud music -- sorry. In addition, yes, this is the GAY bar in where a straight female was raped in the bathroom by a straight guy. What's with that?!?


Nice place


Not my crowd...


Totally unique & great fun

Shamelessly kitch, non-attitude bar with hot and friendly staff and easygoing patrons. Bar top line dancing? In a gay bar? What's not to love?
