Playhouse

Randomly decision to go, had a great time, bartender was super friendly and attentive, drinks were on point, clean bathroom, great show from the big girls, would def go again 🙂

Came on a Sunday night to watch a show. I enjoyed the performance. It was great like a comedy show in addition to the lip singing/dancing. The drinks were very reasonably priced. Bartender was friendly and prepared a nice stiff cocktail. The doorman/security was also nice when checking ID. Large and comfortable venue.

We stopped here on a gay bar crawl of nyc. Definitely a smaller scene and it was hard to see the drag queens because the stage was low to the ground and it was basically just a crowd of people standing and watching so people were blocking the view but !!! The queens were great and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves 🙂 space restrictions in nyc are everywhere though so I’m glad they still host the shows. Met by security at the door for safety measures and they took photos of us and our IDs for extra safety. Was informed that our photos would be deleted in 90 days should we stay on our best behavior lol. Nice place!

Love seeing The Big Girlz every Wednesday night here! They're a four member girl group of plus-sized and POC drag queens who are amazing performers and entertainers! Definitely come see them!

The bartender was incredibly rude. When I go out back home I’m very used to tipping when I leave and tipping based on how much I got through out the night. I had ordered a shot from the one bartender and then later in the night had gone back for one more. When I went back he made a point of serving other people who had just walked up to the bar and then when finally asking what I wanted asked me “are you going to tip this time”? I had told him I was going to when I left also because I didn’t want to just leave money sitting on a wet counter in a dark night club in NYC he shook his finger at me so I took the shot and just left. The whole thing just put a bad taste in my mouth. There are so many places to go in NYC this doesn't have to be one of them for you.

Great music, but the bartenders were clueless and rude—gave me a shot of Red Bull instead of Rumple and had no idea what a London Mule was. Made it my problem instead of apologizing for the miscommunication. Could have been fixed easily.

The place was fun, the music was an 8/10, drinks were manhattan prices. however, despite all of this, this bar uses “patronscan” an invasive program that requires you pose for a picture to “match you to your ID” (despite the fact that a bouncer can do this perfectly well without a camera and privacy violation). there is no way to opt out. the bar is giving full license to this random company to use your face and ID information however they please. they promise to “delete after 90 days”, but there is no enforcement mechanism. the details in the use agreement are vague and designed to allow them to sell your data. surveillance is a serious problem, and i’m very disappointed that this bar uses this useless privacy invasion disguised as a “service”. i would not have entered if my friends were not already in the bar.

first time at a gay bar and it was really fun. drag performances were funny, animated, and entertaining. bathrooms are cleaner than i expected, but be prepared to wait in line as there are only 6 stalls. as for drinks, i payed $11 for a rum and coke.
