my roommate and i, two gender non-conforming people, wanted to attend the show last night but we left after 10 min because the environment was so uncomfortable. almost exclusively white, cis gay men. i guess that would be ok but on our way in someone said "don't they know this is a gay bar" and we got strange looks from the people around us. very disappointed that a space for queer people fosters such an exclusionary clientele. please encourage your cis male guests to be more inclusive and actively work to make the bar safer for other queer people. i'm so disappointed in this venue and in the gay community right now. read more

Pieces - My birthday! So much fun at Piece's! (Dec 2013) - Gay Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Great night would never have spent this amount of money if it wasn't for the server Anthony. He was amazing all night and catered to all of needs. He is the sole reason we stayed for four hours and spent money. Always ask for Anthony. read more

Wow! I can't believe there aren't more better reviews for Pieces. We love to come here for happy hour with Heidi Hoe on Saturdays and bingo with Marti Gold Cummings on Sunday's. It is truly the perfect weekend for us! read more

I liked this place alot. I went with a friend of a tuesday. This place is very decorative with the pride flag & neon pride colors...fun. Good vibes. Pros - the bartender was very attentive. nice cheap drinks. Cons- dont have any. There was a little dance floor, flat screen tv, a disco ball, a stage, a pool table. I would love to go on a more popping night like a friday or saturday. I'm sure I would have a blast. I Will rate again. I would definitely like to go back. read more

LOVE this place. The mood is always fun, and no matter when I've gone it seems to have a crowd. Great place to bring friends. The one catch is that it's rather pricey compared to some other in manhattan/brooklyn gay bars, but it is definitely a staple of the West Village. And the karaoke is just generally awesome. read more

My boyfriend and I went to the Saturday night cabaret hosted by the hilarious Bootsie Lefaris featuring the dazzling Brita Filter. The lip syncing was a lot of fun, which ended in a lip sync battle between the two queens. The club played really good music in between acts so people could dance. The fact there's no cover and just pay a two drink minimum is a major plus. Drinks themselves are pricey, and mix drinks are on the small side (especially considering their price). Fabulous overall, and we can't wait to come back! Arrive early and grab a seat for Saturday nights. read more

Love this place. Excellent happy hour, strong pours, cute bartenders. 4-stars because the music is unnecessarily loud. There's really no reason that the music should be so loud as to necessitate screaming across your bar table to have a conversation when there's no dancing or any sort of club atmosphere. Hopefully they'll change it, but I'll be a regular regardless. read more

What to say about pieces? First off it's a wonderful neighborhood place. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The drinks are all cheap and strong. They always have good music playing and usually have a movie in the background. There is something for everyone. Whether you want to hear a drag queen make fun of a bad movie, play pictionary for free drinks, or sing your face off at karaoke, they offer it. Pieces is the place I take all my friends, both gay and straight. Finally, the best thing about this bar is that there is a sense of family. Everybody knows everyone, and if they don't know.you yet they'll know you before you leave. They welcome anyone with open arms, whether you're 21 or 81, and that includes the staff too. Chris, John, Tim, and Danny are among the best bartenders in the city, and Eric, the owner, is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. read more

Fun bar, good drinks, been before and had a blast. But tonight the drag queen (Bootsy?) made a bunch of racist remarks (Chinese, Mexican), didn't get better. Hope I don't see her again. read more

What a piece of work this place is. I've been here before a few times just for a drink or 2. Never made a night out of Pieces. Long, long bar greets you as well as a tight runway to get to some seating or the bathroom. No bells, no whistles, just a great atmosphere with so much heart and history. I met up with a friend a few Sundays ago for Drag Bingo, 5-9pm. We got there at around 6pm and the festivities were well on their way. Massive crowd, drink specials and ball calling all by a deep voiced drag queen on the mic. My type of evening. The bingo sheets are 3 for $5 or $10, I believe. Whoever successfully wins a round is allowed to spin a wheel with a multitude of prizes. Most noted was the $2000 Jackpot space on the wheel. Enticing. There is also a seating area where drinks get brought out to you. The host was soooo articulate and shared an array of personal stories. Between watching Dirty Dancing, RHONY/NJ, doing her musical numbers and calling out numbers, it was all a welcomed riot. Drag Bingo is not to be missed on and every Sunday. Tons of energy and a butt full of fun is what I experienced here. And I am eager for my next visit. Just minimize the amount of pics you take of the host, she can get real sensative and put you on blast. read more

Literally just watched the bartender kick out a patron for asking a question about the drink size. I was having a good time until I saw this. Made me question my own drink decisions. Will not be coming back. read more

Wow! How did I not know of this place before? Music = fun. Karaoke = fun. Drinks = even more fun. And hanging out with Sam P., Scott B., and Tom B.? EVEN BETTER! Here's the rundown. The place reminds me of every gay bar in the west village that i've been to (ie. Monster, Marie's Crisis, etc.) Lot's of men of all ages, casual crowd, little groups, and the decorating appears like a gay man exploded in the middle of the floor. Come here on Tuesdays for the Karaoke night (that's when I was here). It's really fun. And if you're feelin' down, the casual compliment here will brighten up your day. read more

Saturday afternoon, 4pm, my boyfriend and I just finish brunch at Bondi Road (which is trouble in itself), and decide to join another friend at Pieces for a few drinks. Little did we know. After getting lost in West Village (I'm blaming the unlimited screwdrivers at brunch), and following our friend's quite useful phone directions ("Look for a black drag queen with a beard standing on the sidewalk..."), we make it to Pieces, which is mostly empty at this hour but for a couple of guys. The place is unlike the other gay bars I've been to in the city: strange colored neon lighting, pool table in the back, shiny stainless steel bar, Dolly Parton posters, TV screens playing Steel Magnolias in loop... The bartender, who was really friendly and chatty, was nice enough to tell us what to order... and I stupid enough to listen to him. Before I realize what's going on, he is pouring me the strongest Long-Island ice-tea I've had in my life, for a mere $4. Two of these later, everything becomes a blur... I recall: showing my nipples to some random black guy (only after he requested to see them!)... same guy telling me about how Jesus punishes cheaters with gonorrhea... spilling my drink all over the counter... friendly bartender replacing my drink for free... some guy in a cowboy hat spreading fresh hay all over the floor of the bar... Dolly Parton on video... black guy pinching my boyfriend's nipples, and asking us out on a three-way (whatever happened to Jesus and gonorrhea?!)... leaving drunk and forgetting my sunglasses on the bar... going to bed at 10pm on a Saturday night... What the hell happened?! read more

I had been in the past but won't be returning. A simple vodka drink served in a small glass cost $9. For being a gay bar, there were many straight couples showing PDA (which is great! but perhaps not a gay bar, which is not a fault of the bar, but anyone reading this please consider). We had to wait over five minutes for a drink at a nearly empty bar. Let's do better. read more

The owner was so rude to me that I'll never go in again. He is a jerk to people he serves and people are trying to go have a good time. Oh and if you ask him to be nice, he will actively humiliate you in the bar. You don't to go there when there are other wonderful places in the hood. Cheap drinks bring in cheap people. read more

Dear LGBT community don't come here!!!!! Bartenders are so Rude! especially Chad. They promote hate and discrimination in our community. They are very arrogant and have cero sympathy at all. When I asked him in a nice way for a drink he gave me attitude and dropped me the drink putting his dirty finger inside the drink. I paid and walked away. Won't come back. The ownership should be ashamed and embarrassed. We will take our money someplace else from now on. read more

The Friday night drag show is a bit much. It kind of just kept going on and on and on. Some people loved it. It's definitely not my scene. I think a good Drag show should compliment the night, and not be the absolute singular focus. I was just hoping it would end so we could get back to dancing. Even when she promised it was her last song she went on for a good 30 minutes more. Enough already! It was kind of like having a straight-third wheel with you that was like not letting you have the type of night you were looking for. Well drinks $8. Not all that strong. Eh. Gets packed. Christopher Street, good god it's exhausting. read more

Although the movie "Clue" was playing on loop here, I must have missed the nights where there was free pizza, booze, gold bars, Ferraris and whatever else the other reviewers got here. The bartender was friendly enough, but I thought the drinks were around $5-6, not $4. I guess an early Tuesday evening is not very hopping here. On a personal note, I get angry at any bar that doesn't take credit cards yet. What's that about? read more

A cheap way to have drinks and have a decent time at a gay bar in The Village. I went on Tuesday night when they have karaoke -- if it weren't for that, it wouldn't have been that exciting. Although, that night, the owner bought everyone pizza! I would say the crowd was pretty mixed. read more

they told me to pay 2 beers in credit card and when i asked for the second beer the bartender trhow me the beer on my face and then the guy from the door pick me up away . im asking from my money back , they re very nasty and they dont care about costumers. i call the police for that incedent but unfortunatelty they told me they cant proof my incidence .... im telling my experience so you can know what kind of stuff they have in this bar. One of the bartender is extremely rude , dont make him ruin the busssines ..... read more

We've come here a few times and had a good time (although nothing special), but we were really excited about their underwear party last weekend. Rallied a bunch of friends, gay straight male and female, and came ready to rock. We started checking our clothing when an EXTREMELY rude and condescending coat check guy told the girls to put their clothing back on. Only men were allowed to be in their underwear. The girl in question was beautiful- tall blond and fit. who wouldn't want to see her in bra and panties?? Would that offend the rest of the patrons and interfere with their partying? We were annoyed since we had come all the way there, and had told everyone it would be a great time, and nowhere in the party advert did it specify "male only." And there were much more polite ways to inform us! The guy had no need to be so obnoxious. read more

Pieces reminds me of one of those neighborhood bars where the patrons check their attitudes at the door and come in to have a good time. The place does get busy at times, but the super friendly bar staff do a great job cranking out beverages to keep the wait time at the bar to a minimum. For me, the funnest times here are during karaoke night, when it's not uncommon to hear everyone in the bar sing along to a throwback. read more

Eff this place! Drinks are watery, bar staff is rude - along with many of the patrons on the place. Everyone pushes and shoves and spills everywhere with no concept of manners or good grace. I'm too old for this shit. read more

I like it here. It's clean and serviceable and always smells like Lysol. Apparently Bob the Drag queen works here.

My new fave bar. Friendly people, staff, cheap drinks ($4 wells) and karaoke! It gets REALLY packed on Fridays and Saturdays. But that's not bad right? More guys = more fun! I love you, Pieces! I love you so much sometimes I find myself thinking of you and the next time I can party with you! See you very soon! PS Free coat check! The coat check is the sweetest, nicest guy ever! read more

Whenever I come to Pieces I usually leave a hot drunken mess and don't remember much of the night. The bar is doing its job then, yes? My only complaint is I feel like every time I'm here (Saturday nights around 12) the rest room is non operational for the females. I can't squat in a urinal, so I have leave when it's time to pee. read more

$15 cover on pride so they can gouge you. I don't think so, Pieces. I think I've given up on this place, probably will only go back if I happen to be in the neighborhood and it's a Sunday 1pm after brunch somewhere close. First of all, I'm not quite sure why the staff and Queens have such attitudes. Where the hell do they get off? I've traveled to Europe and when talking to Queens over there, they have flat out asked me why the Queens at Pieces suck so much? Secondly, what the hell is with these drink prices? $10 or $11 for a 8 ounce drink served in a plastic cup and loaded with ice. Are you kidding me? Thirdly, why the fuck does it always stink like ammonia and lemon pledge in this place? Is it that dirty that you have to keep it scrub down constantly? This place used to be so much fun, especially Sunday bingo, but that's expensive, and I'm pretty sure that prize wheel is rigged. read more

Came in the bar with a friend tonight 7/28/16 around 9pm with a friend. The bartender that was there pretty much overcharged us for every drink. (I'm guessing he assumed that we would not tip) I'm hoping it was not because of our background, because others ordering the same drink were charged a different price for the same drinks. The whole experience left a bad taste. Probably will not be back here read more

It's GAY, the bartender is GAY and the customers are GAY it doesn't get any better! Great place to go to for a afternoon of drinking or to shoot some pool for fun. They have Gay Porn Bingo! Do I need to go further? WINNING! read more

Drinks were decent - unlike some of the other gay bars in the area which is all mix and no booze. But they're MUCH cheaper too which is always a plus. Crowd was mixed, looked like nice people. Bartenders are alert, nice, and quick. GREAT music when I went. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. read more

I stopped in Pieces for a drink on a friday night. No cover which is always great. Not somewhere I'd go out of my way to get to, but it had a friendly local bar feel to it. The bathroom was really dark and creepy - I didn't hang around too long. I'd stop back in if I was in the neighborhood for sure. read more

Best gay bar of all time. Need I say more? Okay. Today is Cinco de Mayo and Karaoke night. All Selena songs. Not Gomez, but the Queen of Tejano. Drinks are strong and tasty. This is my go-to place with my gay circle. I've spent countless nights here and it's just pure amazement. Hands down the best place to dance, sing, get crunked, and enjoy life. Boom. read more

I love the vibe in here. It has an identity and it sticks to it! Th bartenders are all cool and attentive. And the pour is lethal! Thus the reason I keep Coming back! The theme nights are cool too! All in all, I like pieces bar! read more

This is a fun and friendly bar in classic Christopher street! The activities such as bingo allow patrons to mingle and get to know one another without it always being about getting ridiculously drunk! Straight girls are most welcome as well! Sunday night bingo with host vodka is a blast! read more

Doorman on Monday night rude combative on the phone while checking id's no greeting and followed me in because I told him it was rude to be on the phone when dealing with customers. I work in the West village bar scene and would advise my friends not to deal with this particular doorman at this establishment read more

Happy Birthday to Speedy was celebrated partially here! With champagne! And shots of soco! Any wonder it made me so happy?

Why is there a check-in for drinks promotion but they don't honour it. Strange right?

Great time up until we requested *one* reggaeton song (were from Miami) and the dj made a face when requested. Came on the mic 20 seconds later to shame us and say "WE'RE FROM AMERICA." Shame on you. read more

The drag show was mediocre and the bartenders refuse to serve you unless you're Caucasian. Not going back there! The drinks are over priced and the bartenders look miserable. Much better places around that area to have fun at. Zero stars. read more
