The space is clean and the decor is very cute, its a modern art deco vibe without feeling dated.I came early on a Thursday so the crowd was thin but present, the bartender John was attentive and engaging with every single customer and always made sure everyone felt taken care of.Definitely a GREAT place for happy hour

I loved the bartenders. Happy hour was enjoyable the only negative is that I wished they served food or a light snack. I really abhor drinking without sustenance. Too old to be publicly drunk. I came in after a rough day at work and staff was very friendly and entertaining.

This is the level of drag I want to see when I go out in NYC. I came in on a Thursday and the drag queen was putting on a multi-set show with backup dancers and guest performers. An incredible performance, and there wasnt even a cover charge.The bartenders were friendly and professional. I spoke with Mike for a bit while he was bartending - super nice, and he made an amazing Balcontini.

Best place in Hell’s Kitchen to see drag shows. I’m always apprehensive of going to see local drag in New York because most spots are tiny and I fear being pulled on stage.. Balcon is great because it’s two floors, so you can perch yourself up top around the balcony without fear of being exposed or called to participate!!But aside from my own personal fears, the queens here are top notch (some of the best in the city) and the bar staff are actually very sweet, hard working and friendly. The place feels classy without any pretension or attitude. The crowd also feels mixed, and not overrun with bachelorette parties.

Had a great Friday night! Upstairs bartenders Angel and Noah are not only cute but very good at what they do. Will definitely come back.

Amazing atmosphere, lots of dancing, great music and great workers. The drinks were good, the only thing was the two drink minimum.

This bar is super cute! The energy in this bar is amazing! My gay best friend and I came during a drag show and it was my first time at one and it was an amazing and fun experience. As a woman being there, I felt welcomed and not judged to be there. Super fun and hot bar!

We hosted a party at the upstairs lounge. The management and the staff were absolutely outstanding. Highly recommend this place.

Great time. Love the atmosphere. Thursday disco tea is always a must, such a great place to have an early drink and lounge. Never a dull moment at night though cause the keep the party going late every night.

Love love love the vibe here. From the door man. To the bar staff, particularly Michael. to nicki! Please don’t lose great staff. It goes so far and makes people want to come back for years. This will be such an amazing long term destination as long as your staff is 🙌🏻 and may I please mention having talented people like Andrew behind lights is 🙌🏻 all good energy that so many places lack ❤️❤️❤️
