nobody on saturday?! where are the NYC gays????!
Nice place!
Great venue for the Tuesday night FootMenNYC parties on the second floor. Comfortable, cozy, atmosphere. Great, friendly, cute bartender. Good happy hour drink deals.
"The Fab" to "the Crap"
Used to have good time there for past few times. Went in today to have similar experience. DJ doesn't play the song on request, even after 1 hour and 15 minutes of first request. Instead shows his finger without listening a word. He thinks everyone is drunk an he can misbehave with any one; either the person is so stoned he will forget, or the club can bring in their security on pretext of drunken misbehavior. I didn't reply to his misbehavior, walked out and put this on gaycities. Wonder what kind of people get jobs a DJ in Ritz? Stupid, Rude, Dick heads, speak minimal english, Do Not play requests? Is there a new trend they want to start? BYOM! "Bring your own music" to club?? Avoid at all cost. After all free cover is justified. Cheap place Cheap Staff. Can I give negative stars??
HORRIBLE. BORING HOLE IN THE WALL.
Music is just terrible, almost unbearable, the crowd is generally pretty awful and consists of scrawny, platt shirt wearing, frenetic 12 year olds prancing around, giddy with excitement that they just heard some ga-ga shlock for the 115th time that night...whatever happened to the edgy new york gay scene? You know, with real men, muscles..shirts off.... good house music....this is fucking embarrassing.
love the DJ
he played my request
