Splash (Closed Permanently) Formerly: SBNY

(229 Ratings)
CLOSING AUGUST 10TH
Most out-of-towners consider this a must-stop when in NYC. Large video screens blare dance remixes, hot bartenders/waiters serve you strong drinks, and offer weekly themed party nights (like Thursday's Campus party for the college boys, bring your college ID for free admission) with dancing, go-gos and more. Too much for you? Then stop in their lounge downstairs. Oh, and make sure you go to the bathroom (or is that the lounge?). Either way it's worth the trip.


Address
50 W 17Th St
New York, NY 10011

Near: Between 5th & 6th Ave.

2 stars only because it was crowded

If you like to go to a club where the staff literally pushes you around this is the place for you. The door men were having great fun shoving the crowd around. Little minds with big "responsibilities'!? The bartenders inept. They had no interaction with the customers. The customer seemed to be an annoyance. For some reason tho, this place is always crowded. I suppose NYC has come to this.

Best Bet if traveling alone and want to blend

I have been going to Splash for years and consider it an ole stand by if I am in NYC alone. It is a big bar with plenty of places to hang out, dance, or try to meet people. The dance floor is very fun and friendly. The go go boys are a great distraction between dancing and chatting...

My brother's first gay club

I took my straight brother here 20 minutes after I came out to him. People thought we were a couple. Generally fun, but can be too dark for my liking.

Fun, Fun, Fun

Yes it's great. I thought the bar staff in their deliciously skimpy Diesels were wonderful, the cabaret hilarious, the party-goers friendly. The drinks pricing was rather random, my drinks cost a fortune but by hubby's drinks were cheap (is someone not telling me something?). The bar staff were very chatty and friendly, they were great.... will go there next time I'm in NYC.

Fun!

Tons of friendly people here, great place to dance, drink prices are different in each bar... really 5.50 - 10 dollars that was weird. Go-go boys are hot and some hilarious. I love go and end my night here and dance! dance dance!
