XES Lounge (Closed Permanently)

(105 Ratings)
Casual lounge for your weekend bar hopping.
The drinks are strong and the crowd is friendly at this newer Chelsea spot. Pop and dance music plays on the TVs (when they aren't playing the latest gay fave TV shows) and there's a nice patio out back. Come here for happy hour or later on weekend nights to catch a bigger crowd.

A very pleasant surprise

Dropped in just for a quick one on Fat Tuesday and the place was jumping. I stayed for hours. Smallish, intimate, friendly bar with sexy bartenders and an attractive younger crowd. A few more mature men and some women go in here as well but the ambience is very gay. 2 for 1 drinks never hurt. I found it one of the livelier and friendlier bars in Chelsea. Definitely worth a visit.

Friendly staff, cute boys, great patio!

This is one of my favorite bars. It has a neighborhood feel, but has a really cute clientele. The boys that go here are hot! The backyard patio is killer!

Great Outdoor Space

They have a nice courtyard, but you have to fight the smokers for it. I do like XES, but it is a little small..
