Apollo has got to be one of the most fun bartenders I've ever met! The second I walked in the door I was greeted welcomely and he was so friendly. The dancing on top of the bar is SO cool. I was only in NYC two days and came back because I loved this bar so much!

If you’re visiting New York, Flaming Saddles is a must-see. The energy is absolutely incredible, with a fun, welcoming vibe for everyone, whether you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community or not. It’s a lively spot where you’ll find great service, friendly staff, and bartenders dancing on the bar, which is a huge part of the experience. The music has a unique, country-meets-party feel that makes the place stand out. It’s the perfect place to grab a drink, enjoy the show, and have an unforgettable night. Just remember, it’s cash only!

Ice cold beers, strong drinks, and hot cowboys dancing on the bar. I mean, what else do you need? Troy was amazing (customer service and to look at) and he made my first time in town really memorable. The space can be a little small but the atmosphere and vibes have made this my new go-to anytime I am in town.

We stopped in for happy hour and had a couple of drinks. The bartenders were great and super friendly. The country music was compelling... and the two bartenders got up on the bar and danced! What fun! We had a great time. We didn't ask about any food... and we weren't sure they served any food.

What a wonderful place! My wife and I were walking by and decided to duck in on a whim. We both had a nice glass of red sangria, and the two bartenders were absolute rockstars—so welcoming and fun that we joked we’d love to invite them over to our next party! Great vibes and incredible service. We'll definitely be back!
