    I dont come here a lot. It usually gets full very late at night, which is too late for me. The crowd is mostly younger people. The 2nd floor is very nice, great for special events. They open the floor to a lot of invite only community events. Those are often a lot of fun. For a bar, the food is pretty good too. They do not have outlets for your devices, but offer a charging locker, where you can put your phone in and charge it for $1.99. Takes a lot of time though.

    Fantastic venue with a big upstairs bar, stage and seating area. Came here on a Sunday night and it was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

  • Review 3 (2014-08-24 - Rating: 4)

    I had a pretty good time there. The show was definitely the best part about the bar. The waiter I got was quite arrogant though--I could tell. Great looks dont make it acceptable for you to be at all rude to someone you are serving when they have literally done nothing to bother, insult, or otherwise provoke you. He wasnt awful, but he had a bit of an attitude at times and gave off the general sense that he was above my friend and I, when I was just trying to enjoy my food and have a good time. Theyd probably be better off finding some friendlier servers, but other than that it was great!

    One of my favorite bars in NYC. Drinks are reasonably priced, with a happy hour 2-for-1 special. The bartenders are friendly and reasonably fast in serving drinks. The atmosphere is always very relaxed and enjoyable, especially right after work.

    Down-to-Earth crowd, and not stuck-up about how you dress. 60% white, 30% Asian, 10% black; 65% men and 35% women.Sick mix of 80s, hip hop, and T-Swift.Closes after 3.Drinks are as cheap as youd find in most cities. I paid $8 for sex on the beach and it was reasonably strong.Fast drink service and no attitude.Great location close to Times Square for late night reveling.

    Nice drag shows and great atmosphere

  • Review 7 (2018-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    Therapy has consistently been a great spot in Midtown. While many other places have come and gone, this establishment is here for the Long haul. The food is excellent! The service is excellent! And most importantly this place is massively fun!!!

  • Review 8 (2016-01-09 - Rating: 5)

    A staple of Hells Kitchen, especially before many of the see-and-be-seen gay bars popped up from 2010 on. A great happy hour spot for business-types during the week, while on the weekend the upstairs becomes a dance floor packed to the walls. Oh, and a gay bar rarity: they have food. Pizza and quesadillas were always a favorite when happy hour went just a little too long, or you were rushing to catch one of the bars nightly shows.

  • Review 9 (2020-02-09 - Rating: 5)

    There drag show and the brunch is amazing and they make sure you have unlimited drinks for real!!! The food is quality for the money!!! I enjoyed my time... Its a must brunch experience!

  • Review 10 (2017-03-18 - Rating: 4)

    One of the most hetero-friendly gay bars in the area. Always fun, and drinks are cheap.Wish that the music was a little less top40, but dance floor is always fun anyway.

  • Review 11 (2013-03-20 - Rating: 4)

    Different days, different experiences. Great mixed drinks with funny names that will remind you of that peculiar therapy. HK crowd with a mix from everywhere specially on weekends. Nice shows and great music most of the times

  • Review 12 (2017-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    This place actually has great food, in addition to Good drinks and a great vibe! Ive never had issues here and the staff is always friendly. This bar seems more welcoming than others in HK.

  • Review 13 (2015-03-15 - Rating: 5)

    Weekends are very fun with a great dancing crowd upstairs with a great DJ and a lounge vibe downstairs. Weekdays are fun too with a different event (read:drag show) every night.

  • Review 14 (2020-01-27 - Rating: 4)

    One of my favorite bars in Hells Kitchen area to go to! After 10pm, ask for my bartender friend Joe! Tell him I sent you. He works upstairs more than downstairs.

  • Review 15 (2013-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    Who doesnt need a little Therapy? The drink specials are good, and the food is great. Nice place to meet friends on a Sunday night, during the week, or just hang out.

  • Review 16 (2018-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    I always come here. It is my go to spot. The music is mixed well and the bartenders are super nice! Party ovah here my gabies!

  • Review 17 (2018-05-29 - Rating: 5)

    Therapy is every gay mans passage right for their first coming out/gay clubbing experience. I loved it my first time and til this day go here. The popular RuPaul Drag queen Miz CRACKER always performed here, so it has great history. No Cover, drinks are decently priced, and close to great restaurants. Another club across the street so you can easily bar hop. Music is very hit or miss but more edm, remixes and played throughout- not just snippets. Come enjoy the friendly, clean atmosphere.

  • Review 18 (2016-10-21 - Rating: 4)

    This place is amazing. They have a stage you can dance on. Reasonably priced drinks, nice bartenders and a diverse atmosphere.

  • Review 19 (2012-07-02 - Rating: 4)

    Awesome ski lodge-esque atmosphere, hot bartenders and a fun crowd. Sit upstairs for the shows and their amazing Therapy Burger.

  • Review 20 (2015-09-12 - Rating: 4)

    Fun gay bar to grab a few drinks with friends.

  • Review 34 (2017-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Bartenders are the best and really liked their attitude. The drag queens had a great show and were also very friendly to me and everyone. Great crowd of people and place to be at.

  • Review 35 (2019-01-04 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent gay bar in NYC. Visiting from the UK and came a few nights. Great entertainment shows at 11pm and great cocktail list too. Would highly recommend.

  • Review 36 (2012-07-04 - Rating: 4)

    One of the nicer classier joints in Hells kitchen to wet your whistle. Great decor and the bathroom is one of the less sketchy of the hells kitchen joints.Always can find a great cabaret show or drag show going on upstairs. Weekends draw in a fun dance crowd occasionally.

  • Review 37 (2016-11-15 - Rating: 5)

    First time, and it was actually better than I expected. The host for the night was entertaining and she has a solid voice. Servers are polite and attentive. I only ate the calamari, and it was delicious.

  • Review 38 (2016-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    Great bar with a very friendly atmosphere. Groups of friends form the crowd that folks the place with a happy and welcoming vibe. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the cocktails are good as well.

  • Review 39 (2013-12-29 - Rating: 4)

  • Review 41 (2015-10-18 - Rating: 5)

    This place is amazing. They have a stage you can dance on. Reasonably priced drinks, nice bartenders and a diverse atmosphere. It is the go to place on the weekends to dance the night away.

  • Review 42 (2015-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    I love this place. Its how a gay bar should be. The service, food and drinks are really good. Probably they need little more space to dance.

  • Review 43 (2019-03-31 - Rating: 4)

    I have not had the food yet, but this bar is a must when you are in NYC. Friendly and HOT bar staff with excellent drinks and usually a great drag show. Enjoy.

    Always my favorite NYC gay bar!

  • Review 46 (2015-01-10 - Rating: 5)

    A very circa who knows place, but not an unpleasant spot......the new gay paradise yet not an upsetting turn of events to straight women (eye candy is eye candy and they have it a plenty). Awesome drinks reasonable tapas and the waiters are usually very cute helpful and attentive.

  • Review 47 (2018-07-09 - Rating: 4)

    I love thia gay bar. Happy hour food is actually excellent.

  • Review 49 (2011-11-15 - Rating: 4)

    I visited Therapy over a series of Monday nights, arriving for happy hour & settling in for the RuPauls Drag Race viewing parties. The bouncer, the bartenders, and the waiters were all competent & friendly. Therapy is an inviting place, I never felt ignored or disregarded by the staff. The Absolut vodka drink specials were reasonably priced & not watered down. Even when swamped with drink orders, the bartenders acknowledge your presence & apologizes for the wait. Such a small detail, but something that stood out for me.

  • Review 50 (2018-11-17 - Rating: 5)

    Ahh so many great and fabulous memories here— lots of gay bday celebrations and meetups. I can see how, to some, the crowd can come off as uptight but honestly, if you’re here with friends, you’re gonna have a great time anyway. Drinks are your standard Manhattan prices, they have coat upstairs but the line gets super long. I still come back for the music and dancing. They also have a lounge on the main floor.

  • Review 51 (2019-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    Love the interior and my favourite bartender joe who I always visit when in town

  • Review 52 (2019-09-22 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place to stress out , nice drinks, they need to play better music, thers plenty of nice music, security at the door very friendly.

  • Review 53 (2016-01-08 - Rating: 4)

    This popular bar which was a standout in the neighborhood when it first opened in HK. On its tail as HK has become the new Chelsea Therapy still retains many of its charm while changing to match the neighborhood’s demographics. While popular with locals it is also very popular with tourists compared to other bars in the area.The drinks are okay. All depends of the bartender but tends to be on the weak side and prices are comparable to any other drinks you get everywhere else. The stand out is the modern interior with the central stair. The table service and they also serve food. The guys tend to vary age wise but lean on the younger millennials. They have shows on some night. Sunday night are always fun as more locals and a drag show to cap the evening if you can stay out that late before a school night.

    Great gay bar. Relaxed atmosphere, cute staff and good food.

  • Review 55 (2017-05-11 - Rating: 5)

    My partner and i who is transgender loved this place.It has a beatiful relaxing ambience, lovely music and DJ. We loved loved loved the drag performances, and the tastey food. But thats not all, they also do support social justice causes and the night we were there they fully supported a fundraiser for an East African Activist LGBTIQ fund UHAI EASHRI. The food anx drinks were on them. This is definatelg a place i would recommend if you come to New York.
