Boots and Saddle (Closed Permanently) Formerly: B&S - Boots & Saddle

I will be back

I was on holiday from Australia recently and was taken to B & S by my friend for the 1st time. I must say B & S is one of best bars in NY and definitely a highlight of my trip. The place was well managed, drinks were strong and the whole atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. The Sunday night karaoke was great fun and good looking guys were everywhere!

great place

I enjoyed going on a friday starting at 6pm happy hour special and the ealiest male dancers show, hot!!!. I took some friend of mine there and we had a blast! Needless to say thats one of my number spot on fridays

Big Changes in the Last 3 Weeks

It's under new management now and it is crowded once again and more fun. They've added a DJ, 29 new beers and Stella, Becks, India Pale Ale on tap. More comfortable, more gracious, and more cruisy, too.

NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE

First ~ it sounds like a leather bar (NOT) and it is no longer called Boots and saddles,we called it bras and girdles !! It is now B&S NY.I was a regular for many years ~ Very boring during the days,but they do have 2-1 H. hours,OK at night~they now have strippers

Still fun -- with reservations

You can still have a good time at this bar due to many wonderful customers and friendly staffers -- Jose, Robert, Gus, Roberto, etc. -- most of whom have no idea that this used to be THE great social center for gay men of all ages, and one of the hottest, cruise bars in town. Now you're just as likely to run into clueless straight women who are either the girlfriends of the mostly straight-identified go go boys or have come to ogle them -- not exactly conducive to a friendly homoerotic atmosphere. Worse yet is "Grumpy," the straight bartender who works solo on Thursday nights and haunts the place like a nasty imp at other times. An aspiring actor, he develops a foul disposition when he doesn't get a callback, taking out his frustrations on some of the customers, even trying to 86 anyone with Gay Pride who dares call him on his dumb and borderline homophobic remarks. Why doesn't the management send this jackass packing? Recommendation: go in the wee hours, after 2 or 3 AM when you want to have another drink and Ty's down the block has closed (remember bars in New York can stay open until 4 AM). But it's sad to contemplate how really great and totally gay this bar used to be.
