    Went to shoot for a drag friend and found this place very spacious and fun to be at! Recommended several friends to go.

  • Review 2 (2024-10-09 - Rating: 5)

    Heat place, good vibes , some of the waiting staff is a little slow but it’s cute overall it’s a place that’s trying somewhat to be different from the norm and bring someSort of class to the area - hope it can last some time.

  • Review 3 (2024-07-29 - Rating: 5)

    Great service, great shows, great crowds. Drinks aint free thats for sure. Didnt eat the food, the drag queens seemed to like the cheese plate though 🤷

  • Review 4 (2024-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    Vers is hands down one of the best spots in the city! I’ve been going since it opened, and my recent birthday celebration there was the best one yet. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the experience even more special. I’m so happy that this place exists for the community.

  • Review 5 (2024-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Happened to stumble across this bar and the vibes were immaculate! Great music, tasty drinks and the service was top tier! Our server Sean was amazing and the bartender Alessio was killing it with the drinks! Extremely personable and made us feel right at home. And they do drag viewing shows? Yeah definitely coming back.

  • Review 6 (2024-08-05 - Rating: 5)

    We found this place super late on in our holiday, which is a real shame given how much fun we had. We caught the last half hour of a drag show and fully enjoyed it. The vibe was really cute, the bar staff were friendly and efficient, and we are absolutely returning here the next time were in town.

  • Review 7 (2023-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    Could not love this place any more than I do. It was such a chill oasis of good drinks and good vibes! The waiters and management made me feel so at home and welcome and it was truly a highlight of my visit to NYC. HIGHLY recommend this amazing spot!

  • Review 8 (2024-06-03 - Rating: 5)

    Staff are awesome! Food and drinks are the best in the neighborhood when it comes to gay bars. Lounge type vibe on slower days. Great mingle spot on busier nights. I suggest checking this place out. Great for date nights as well. Shout out to: Alessio, Sean, Dakota, and Jay for keeping Monday blues away.

  • Review 9 (2024-09-13 - Rating: 4)

    Dope vibes in a nice ambience where the aesthetic is a blend of dive bar meets lounge. They figured out how to maximize optimal use of their cozy space.

  • Review 10 (2024-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    Just the best local Hells Kitchen gay bar, the music is always perfect for the crowd and time, nice bites if your hungry but most importantly the staff, friendly, fun and they remember your name! shout out to Alessio, Shawn, KANGA and Blake. You’ll also find great local regulars like myself :)

  • Review 11 (2024-09-02 - Rating: 5)

    Ryan was amazing and took really good care of us. Best standard drinks we’ve had in a really long time!

  • Review 12 (2024-12-11 - Rating: 5)

    Angel was the sweetest server. everything came efficiently and was amazing. definitely recommend!

  • Review 13 (2022-08-28 - Rating: 4)

    Fantastic drinks. Super clean! Finally a nice gay bar in nyc. Needs a bit of noise dampening or something - got soo loud 😂

  • Review 14 (2024-09-20 - Rating: 5)

    It’s a fantastic place to hang out, with amazing drinks and a great atmosphere. But what really makes it special is Alessio, the best bartender around! If you’re in New York, this is a must-visit spot. Thank you, Alessio, for making it a memorable experience!

  • Review 15 (2024-08-24 - Rating: 5)

    Some friends and I decided to check out this spot spontaneously and it did not disappoint! The drinks and food were all great and reasonably priced during happy hour, service was awesome, and we were happily surprised to find out that it was Broadway trivia night, which was a lot of fun. Well likely be back next time were in the area!

  • Review 16 (2024-04-13 - Rating: 5)

    The wine is not bad, at least it is the taste we want to drink, and the atmosphere is not bad.

  • Review 17 (2024-04-16 - Rating: 5)

    My daughter Angelique Rodriguez preformed in the cabernet it was amazing . She has a song out which I think the DJ would love its called Surrender its a dance song its on U tube and Spotify. You would love it. I had an wonderful time and the service was amazing , Loved the atmosphere food was great. Will definitely go again . Thank you

  • Review 18 (2024-01-13 - Rating: 5)

    A very regular Friday night hangout for a small group of us older guys. Very welcoming and not so loud that we cant have a good conversation, which for me at least is a huge issue with most gay bars. Shout out to Jay, our server, whos friendly, attentive, and totally adorable.

  • Review 19 (2024-12-14 - Rating: 5)

    Visited VERS last week on a visit from London with a couple of girlfriends and very much enjoyed the place. Lovely decor, friendly staff and a safe fun place to be. Very busy but managed to get a table at the back, quite loud but not too loud so you cant hear yourselves talk. Only negative was the slightly creepy guy at the door although Im not sure if he was an employee or just an over enthusiastic customer but just slipped past him anyway luckily no such people inside. Would definitely go back x

  • Review 20 (2024-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    The service is fantastic, one of the few gay bars in the neighborhood that does speciality cocktails. Alessio makes strong & delicious drinks and is super personable.

  • Review 21 (2023-09-23 - Rating: 4)

    I was shocked when I saw a real bar tender properly prepare and mix a cocktail in front of me, and even serve it on a real glass and not a plastic cup. Loved it!As I just said: quality drinks, great atmosphere, music was also good. I didnt get the chance to taste their food or bites, but hopefully next time I visit. Service was pretty friendly since the very first moment when my friends and I walked in, until when we walked out and got a thank you for coming, have a good night from two staff members at the exit door.

  • Review 22 (2024-07-20 - Rating: 5)

    Great sing-along piano bar atmosphere for the nights that we went, really great talent and performers, strong drinks, great menu, helpful service. Definitely a welcoming crowd for all adult ages. And the piano/keyboard player is really talented!!

  • Review 23 (2024-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Such a lovely place! stopped by on my birthday and sean & alessio were so sweet! lovely atmosphere. SUPER gay!

  • Review 24 (2023-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Vers is an amazing place, we stop in all the time when we are bar-hopping the Hells Kitchen area. Fantastic drinks, great food and the music vibe is always on point. We recently held an event at VERS and it could not have gone better! The owner and staff were so accommodating, sweet and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and my guests absolutely loved every single detail. Thank you Vers Team! Keep up the great work and see you again soon. 🤩😘

  • Review 25 (2023-10-26 - Rating: 5)

    A chill spot for after work drinks , the bartenders are friendly and place can get a little busy but definitely a cool chill low key bar, but turns into dancing later on , ill highly recommend and definitely will be back . The price was average new york prices and definitely appreciate the music being low so you can carry a conversation.

  • Review 26 (2023-06-23 - Rating: 5)

    My coworkers and I came here as our end-of-year celebration. We had such a wonderful time and appreciated the attentiveness of the staff. It was a super busy Friday, but Billy and Cesar were exceptionally friendly, timely, and consistent. We are so looking forward to coming back and appreciate the staff and all that they do.

  • Review 27 (2022-08-18 - Rating: 5)

    Fabulous new gay bar in Hell’s Kitchen! The owners are amazing guys who really care about our community. They have built something truly special. Go check it out…

  • Review 28 (2023-02-08 - Rating: 4)

    I really enjoy this bar. A nice place to have a cocktail (very well made), nice atmosphere, and good music at a decent level. Please note that their menu prices do not include tax, so a $16 drink will cost $18 if paying cash, while it should be $17.42 with card. So use a card if you come here because you will pay less per drink. I still plan to visit this place frequently. Finally a gay bar that makes a really good cocktail.

  • Review 29 (2022-09-05 - Rating: 4)

    This is a GREAT new space! A higher end cocktail bar for the queer community. My friends have enjoyed their unique cocktails and weve all enjoyed their food selection. I only wish their wine was a better quality. Especially for the price. $15 for a good of wine should get me a better glass.

  • Review 30 (2023-12-28 - Rating: 5)

    We had so much fun at vers! Great vibe inside (we could sit and chat) the cocktails are real cocktails, and you can stay and dance, come for piano and showtunes, whatever you want. Loved it!

  • Review 31 (2024-04-12 - Rating: 5)

    Very fun atmosphere! I do wish the place was bigger in terms of space! I love the place and I feel like if they had more space to work with it would be even more amazing!

  • Review 32 (2023-01-30 - Rating: 5)

    I love the DJs, the amazing roster of talented performers they bring in, and the specialty cocktails are perfection. The staff is welcoming and the service is top notch.Whether you’re grabbing a frozie at happy hour, catching a drag performance, or just dancing the night away it’s always a guaranteed good time! Be sure to order a frozen painkiller…you won’t regret it!!! 🥳

  • Review 33 (2023-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    Taylor is a great server and so symphatic! Would come back every night to get Taylors great service. 3 options of beer on tap and the IPA is great. Great place. Reccomendend.

  • Review 34 (2022-08-30 - Rating: 5)

    What a ridiculously good time! My friends and I stopped here after a rehearsal and the next thing you know we’re on stage dancing and singing our hearts out - Just love the two emcee Queens running the Monday musical show- insanely talented and I about died when one of them did the death drop next to me.It’s a beautiful bar full of Disco balls, and the cocktails are divine…Plus, you know it’s a special bar when there are apotheke diffusers in the bathrooms 😍😍

  • Review 35 (2023-06-11 - Rating: 5)

    My favorite location in NYC. Fantastic brunch, great happy hours, unique variety of events ranging from karaoke to underwear parties. The staff is the cherry on top, such kindness from every individual you encounter.

  • Review 36 (2024-08-27 - Rating: 5)

    I am so glad my friend recommended this place because I truly had a blast! Shout out to Tyler and Dakota for making my birthday special. Everyone is so sweet and the drinks are delicious! I really enjoyed the piano night and listening to everyone sing. I can’t wait to come back!

  • Review 37 (2022-11-13 - Rating: 5)

    It’s an amazing bar I went there with my brother I had some martinis!!! They were so delicious. The service was extremely amazing. They treat customers with professionalism and with class .You can tell that they love and respect customers not like in other places. They should learn that this is the way how they supposed have to treat customers many congratulations definitely will be my new favorite place😘😘😘Definitely recommend it’s on Hell’s Kitchen !!!!!!

  • Review 38 (2023-10-08 - Rating: 5)

    Omg! The staff here is amazing. Jonathan knows how to mix a drink like no other. #mixologist. Tristan is delightful. Sean and Kanga are a joy to have my drinks served by. This is my happy hour SPOT! 💜🏳️‍🌈

  • Review 39 (2023-12-13 - Rating: 5)

    Vers Bar is definately a cute little bar, locals say its fairly newer but a favorite for sure. I dont know when the food ends but next time im definately ordering the friend goat cheese. Very cheeky and flirty bathroom decor (see pics). I need more drunk nights here (:

  • Review 40 (2024-08-03 - Rating: 5)

    My sister and I were walking home and saw disco balls, smoke dusted pretty lights and heard amazing dance music. We decided we were no longer walking home. Come to this bar for the best dance floor and kindest bartenders who welcomed us with nothing but generosity and love. We will be back for sure!!!! We love VERS!!!!

  • Review 41 (2024-08-28 - Rating: 5)

    I have never had a more welcoming and loving experience at ANY bar than I have at VERS! Tyler and the guys made me feel at home and truly welcomed for my first time being Im NYC. This is must-visit for anyone and everyone in New York!!!

  • Review 42 (2024-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    Such a fun intimate high-end gay bar experience. Best design with inlaid lighting, a fun banquet and sexy bathrooms. Best cocktails I’ve ever had at a gay bar (martini specials!) - but you can still get a vodka soda if that’s your thing. The staff is diverse and very service oriented. And it lives up to its name- a versatile space that can be chill early on, dance and drag celebratory… or even down and dirty of you go to the monthly underwear party night. Enjoy!

  • Review 43 (2023-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    This was a total surprise. Walked by and saw this with a friend of mine. And we decided to go in. Glad we did great place. I would recommend going and checking it out. I had an AMAZING bartender also.

  • Review 44 (2024-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    A go to gay bar where you can get a well-made, classic cocktail in HK. A rarity in the neighborhood.

  • Review 49 (2023-11-06 - Rating: 5)

    Is a very nice place to have a drink and dance the prices there are good for been in Manhattan

  • Review 50 (2024-08-11 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place the bartender was friendly. Not a whole lot of atmosphere. But I would go back if I was in the neighborhood and thirsty for a beer.

  • Review 51 (2023-07-12 - Rating: 5)

    We had a fantastic time watching the drag show on Tuesday night! Best experience my husband and I could ask for on our honeymoon!

  • Review 57 (2024-08-02 - Rating: 5)

    Always a great experience, safe & welcoming!!! Bartenders and sweet, prepare good drinks & music was good too!

  • Review 58 (2023-01-15 - Rating: 5)

    Should be called “Bottom” (in a good way!). Fun, relatively young crowd. Good music, strong drinks. Exactly the beautiful bartender you’d expect.

  • Review 59 (2024-07-15 - Rating: 4)

    This is a really cute place with nice cocktails & fun ambiance, however, it gets so hot inside. The air conditioning needs some work, but overall a nice place to meet & celebrate!

  • Review 60 (2023-07-14 - Rating: 5)

    Best bar in HK! Had a serendipitous meeting with Dominique, the manager, on the anniversary of the bars opening, love the spot

  • Review 61 (2023-12-30 - Rating: 4)

    Great vibes, esthetic, lighting, and cocktails. Our bartender (the lady that works for Gucci, can’t remember her name) was fantastic!

  • Review 63 (2024-08-21 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent LQBTQ space with diverse events, excellent cocktails and a great team

  • Review 64 (2024-07-06 - Rating: 5)

    Tyler was amazing! Drinks were excellent and he was very friendly, handsome, knowledgeable and courteous. Highly recommend!

  • Review 65 (2024-06-10 - Rating: 5)

    The service was ok. The drinks were good the vibes is nice. It was full of people when we arrived but the decorations and the music were cool. It’s just not nice that when you pay the bartender automatically take the rest of the amount as a tip without even asking you if u wanna tip or no or how much u wanna give.

  • Review 66 (2023-05-10 - Rating: 5)

    My absolute favorite place to go out in Hells Kitchen, or anywhere! Must go. Great cocktails, great people, great shows.

  • Review 67 (2024-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Our favorite place in Manhattan!! Sean is the best, drinks are fantastic and well priced. Love this place

  • Review 68 (2023-04-16 - Rating: 4)

    We stopped in here during the week since they had a show going on. The featured cocktails from the menu weren’t that, but the show was entertaining.

  • Review 69 (2022-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    I was here early on the night ni the bartenders were super nice and I appreciated that they had non alcoholic options on the menu. :)

  • Review 70 (2023-06-22 - Rating: 5)

    Great happy hour selection and awesome mocktails! Andy is the absolute best and the whole team there was lovely

  • Review 71 (2023-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    Smaller than Rise bar, but good change as it plays more house beats than just Pop. Younger crowds than Rise I feel. A new age disco like good vibe with laser and smoke.

  • Review 72 (2024-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    Amazing food, like actually. Drinks impeccable. Classiest and best bar in Hk. And drag shows that are incredible to boot.

  • Review 73 (2024-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    The dirty martinis are some of the best in the city! Their happy hour special is amazing & nothing like you can find in this neighborhood. Alessio takes really good care of you!

  • Review 74 (2023-07-22 - Rating: 5)

    We had THE BEST, most attentive waiter. Loved the energy and atmosphere of this establishment.

  • Review 75 (2024-06-13 - Rating: 5)

    I was visiting NY a few weeks ago popped in to see what was going on. Alessio was my bartender. He turned out to be so funny and makes a MEAN skinny marg! The vibes of the whole place was great. Will definitely come back and hopefully get served by my favorite new bartender.

  • Review 76 (2023-06-06 - Rating: 5)

    Great drinks, fun crowd on a Monday with the piano songs and karaoke, it was a nice vibe

    A gay bar in Hells Kitchen that finally doesn’t feel divey. Good cocktails, open concept, great bartenders.

  • Review 87 (2024-02-01 - Rating: 5)

    Was visiting and this bar had a great atmosphere. Also, one of the few gay bars that actually had a menu to look at. Might seem small but my partner and I love to try new drinks and not just name a random drink from the top of our head we already had before.Bartenders were attentive and friendly. Highly recommend and will visit again next time around.

  • Review 88 (2023-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    Spent the new year Eve here, it’s the best experience. They are so attentive and great on details in their services. Absolutely recommended

  • Review 89 (2022-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    Nice drinks, nice chill vibe, clean and upscale gay bar that’s not grungey like most gay bars

  • Review 90 (2023-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    So great to be able to have an establishment in Hells Kitchen thats in a league of its own. The menu for food and cocktails has the opportunity to offer you an elevated experience compared to any of the other bars Ive seen or have been to in the area. Bartenders are more like mixologists. Everything served in beautiful glassware. Although I often see different events going on there one thing is certain, the staff, service and experience is consistently great vibes and on point! Great for dates, friends, meet interesting people and even a place to take your family to and be proud.Whoever is running this place, really knows what theyre doing! 👏🏼 🌈 👏🏼🌈👏🏼🌈👏🏼

  • Review 91 (2024-05-13 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 96 (2023-04-05 - Rating: 4)

    The only reason I gave this place four stars was for the Expresso Martinis, otherwise the crowd is a total pass

  • Review 97 (2022-11-05 - Rating: 5)

    Good drinks, friendly bartender, good music, generally nice vibe.

  • Review 98 (2023-06-15 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been going to VERS since it first opened about a year ago and have been delighted to watch it grow! The vibe is chill and welcoming, and their cocktail menu is always changing. It is a *great* alternative to the louder, less-navigable bars in Hells Kitchen—not only for the fact that you can good a decent drink but also because you can hear your friends, and hear the new friends youre bound to meet there. (Some weekend nights they do special events—drag shows, dance parties, etc.—and those, understandably, get a little louder, but its manageable and friendly.)I had brunch for the first time last weekend, and it was great. Get the bacon, if thats your thing. (It certainly was mine!)

  • Review 99 (2024-01-07 - Rating: 5)

    Welcoming and friendly staff combined with great drinks makes this my new favorite place to visit when I come to the city.

    This place is the Swiss army knife of gay bars. You can come for a good cocktail and conversation, to dance, to listen to showtunes and sing, whatever youre in the mood for. a real gem!

    Finally, nice drinks at a gay bar. We CAN have nice things

  • Review 105 (2023-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    Hands-down and arguably one of the best bars in Hells Kitchen! I got to visit twice during my stay in the City for New Years day and both times did not disappoint. The drinks are made incredibly well and the bartenders are very polite and respectful to all guests. I didnt get a chance to meet the owner to personally compliment him on how well-managed and organized this establishment is, but will be glad to do so upon my return. Highly recommend!

  • Review 106 (2023-07-05 - Rating: 4)

    Very cute spot, great set up aside from the fact that they don’t have section for those that smoke do not impose on those that do not. Sitting in the front outside is not a smokers area. The smoke from the smokers blows back on whoever is sitting in front which is DISGUSTING the smell alone is a turn off. Again cute spot but they need a place for smokers to go away from the main area.

    Came here to grab a drink before seeing a movie. The bartenders were SUPER attentive, and drinks were heavy-handed with alcohol. The atmosphere was chill, and lighting was 80s Miami Vice colors but in a modern way.

    I have been to VERS a few times and I really like it a lot. They have a nice cocktail menu and the drinks are well-made by the friendly bartenders. Earlier in the evening they have tables and chairs out so its nice to catch up with friends at happy hour. Its great for late night too since they move the tables away as the night progresses.

    Great service, all staff were very friendly and welcoming. Fun atmosphere, although the music that night seemed like an afterthought (background music; no lyrics and hard to dance to).

    Great place for our hockey team to hang together 💜

    Love this spot. The best piano karaoke Ive ever experienced was here. Singers from Broadway seem to frequent this spot. I had a blast. Atmosphere was great and the people were really friendly.

    We went on a trip to New York City. The atmosphere was so friendly, the drinks were great, and the performance (From The Top) was the best! Theyve got a really good thing going and well definitely be back when were in the city again.

    The best gay bar in Hell’s Kitchen. Queer owned and operated. Love the mocktail menu for those who don’t drink!

    Nice newer gay bar with a twist and some interesting themed nights. I recommend

  • Review 123 (2023-02-05 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of those brunch gems that should be greeted on TikTok. I’ve been to lots of brunches in New York but WOW, this was on another level. I ordered the cacio e pepe eggs which was already an exciting choice, but oh my goodness. It was heavenly. AND on top of all that, the staff was unbelievably kind and attentive.

    The incredible place to have a drink and have a good time, the costs are quite affordable, the staff is very attentive and it is very easy to get to! I had Queer Asian Night and it was the best. I will return without thinking about it whenever I am in NY.
