Leather gay bar with a distinct edge in an edgy neighborhood with staffers who have an edge too : )…read more The whole vibe of the place is meant to be edgy and transgressive. It works on some levels and not on others (no one will be singing show tunes but everyone's trying to look very serious in a faux macho sorta way) Fun place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday and immediately felt the welcoming vibe the moment I…read morewalked in. In a cozy bar like this, the bartenders really set the tone and I must say, they were awesome. As soon as I moseyed up to the bar, I was immediate served. To my delightly surprise, they had 00 beers, which were iced cold too! The DJ spun some lively and eclectic music that the entire room was dancing too, song after song. They had a private party taking over the space at 10pm but if they didn't, we surely would have stayed much longer. I'll be back for sure and will keep this place in mind if I ever throw a private shing ding in the city!

They had a small dance floor in front of the DJ but it was enough for some fun dancing. It was not packed at all. The decor was really cool and interesting lol they had an even at 10pm so we had to leave by then. I would definitely like to return next time, DJ was great!

What really makes Flaming Saddles stand out is the crowd late night. Once the other gay bars close, this is where everyone ends up. You'll see the "who's who" of Hell's Kitchen--drag queens, bartenders, nightlife folks--basically their after-work hang (or pregame, depending on your stamina) until 4AM. Jukebox is a cute touch too--just read the room. It's a country music bar after all.

There are song requests that get queued into a Spotify playlist, but we couldn't quite figure out how it worked. Every half hour or so, all the bartenders do a little show on the bar, which is entertaining. Note that this bar is cash only and there are ATMs inside. Also recommend getting some singles to tip the dancers.

Just because you are too inept to distinguish one order from another doesn't mean others should suffer from your stupidity. If one person orders and then another person orders, why would you assume those two people are on the same tab? And then make the second person pay for a strangers drinks without even an apology? Ritz was closed for taking advantage of innocent people and they should have stayed closed. Also, don't pay attention to these paid 5 star reviews. They are obviously paid to heighten Ritz' star rating. You've been warned!!!
