Henrietta Hudson

My sister and I visited this venue for the first time last night, and we were blown away! Despite some concerning reviews about discrimination, we were treated with respect and kindness throughout the night. As Asian women, we were a bit apprehensive, but the staff and patrons made us feel safe and welcome. The atmosphere was electric, with great music and a talented DJ spinning the perfect clubbing tunes. We loved dancing the night away without feeling uncomfortable or harassed. The crowd was respectful, and we appreciated the considerate vibe. We were impressed by the friendly staff, particularly the woman at the front door, who was warm, funny, and made us feel right at home. As a lovely bonus, they even offered dog treats for the furry friends passing by – a thoughtful touch that shows they care about their community. Overall, we highly recommend this venue and can't wait to come back! P.S.: Yes the drinks are pricey for the size. But, we kind of expect this from New York ‍♀️ If you are a coffee lover, do try the Espresso martini ☕️

The bartender was so rude they didn’t let us even finish our order they closed the tab immediately, then reprimanded us for not tipping. We weren’t even done ordering so we were going to tip at the end but she assumed the worse. As a service worker myself I know it can get overwhelming but she took out her anger on us and gave uncalled for attitude

Henrietta’s used to be a place I would love to go to, then I saw its true colors. Greed, racism and unfriendly atmosphere. The horror stories I’ve heard about the owner are disgusting as well as a lot of the people that attend it. Crazy door fees when the drinks are about the same price (also watered down) and the music has gotten terrible. I haven’t been back in a while and I don’t think I’ll ever step a foot in this place again. Unfortunately, it’s one of the only lesbian bars in NYC but there are SO many other great queer bars out there. Do not waste your time. I’m actually upset at the ownership greed and the taking advantage of the lesbian community which is already struggling in this city to find its place.

Loveeee this bar!!! First time going , went for a Taylor Swift night and they ate that !!! Super fun atmosphere and awesome bartenders. I recommend the Apple-Cran Mule. Favorite lesbian bar by far ✨

WARNING: keep your phones and wallets solidly in your hands. Was having a good time here until my phone got stolen, and when I was leaving there were 2 other girls by the hostess who also had their phones stolen. I was leaving fairly soon after getting there(getting robbed is kinda a buzz kill) so I'm sure the 3 of us weren't the only ones who got robbed throughout the night. After my experience, I told some friends about it, and several of them have had, or know someone who had, similar experiences here with phones or wallets getting taken right out of your pockets or bag. Which I'm sure we can all agree, is not a safe way to be when you're in Manhattan needing to get home at night. The drinks were great, the music was good, line for the bathrooms was CRAZY, and the robbery sucked

Used to love this place, would always come because I thought it was a safe bar for lesbians but when a situation happened, a straight man was trying to be weird with my friend and I told the hostess. they said they couldn’t do anything because he “so called” didn’t do anything but he was following us thru the bar for a while and tried to record my friend while she was dancing and I had to push her away and they said he didn’t record her and proceeded to tell me if a women was recording, it would been a different situation and that I would haven’t been acting like that and just made seem like I was being dramatic and made it seem like i was bugging out since I am a masc and it was a ego thing. the situation was dealt so horribly I thought this was a safe bar from predatory straight men but I guess not and they proceeded to say he was regular so I put two and two together so tips are more valuable then the safety of the LGTBQ customers, definitely never coming back again. the bar is starting to cater to straight people and not care about the safety of anyone who is part of the LGBTQ, please if you do decide to come please stay safe while coming here and be aware of any weirdos at the bar 🙂

Henrietta's use to be a lesbian bar, now it's a straight bar. They let any and everyone in there. As a dyke I don't feel comfortable in there anymore. I went for my birthday and so many girls was kissing men, and when I asked a girl to dance she said she's into men, . I saw 1 girl talking to 3 guys at one time and took up the space to sit down. I'm elderly now, and I don't feel at home there anymore. It's sad

I am a straight man, but had an incredible time. I felt welcome, the energetic joy was out of this world! ️‍ ️‍ It was standing room only on a Saturday night even after 2am. The line for the bathroom around 20 minutes, and intermingled with the dance floor. You could order drinks in the bathroom line.
