LOVED IT! The servers were incredible and the atmosphere was extremely welcoming. One of the servers (Liam I believe) was great and was very sweet because it was my birthday! And the other server (I didn't catch his name) was very attentive and charged my phone for me while it was at 9%. I'm from out of town and if I ever come back I plan to visit here first! If you're queer or even want to just drink with a nice vibe, this is DEFINITELY the place!

Had an amazing time at Phoenix Bar! The bartender was absolutely wonderful — super friendly with generous pours that made the night even better. The vibe of the place is fantastic, with great music that keeps the energy up without being overwhelming. Also worth mentioning: the bathrooms were surprisingly clean for a busy NYC bar, which is always a huge plus. Overall, a fun, welcoming spot that I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend!

If you’re a lesbian or femme woman, don’t go to this bar. I was ignored the entire time, sitting at the bar trying to order a drink. Multiple people came up to the bar and got served right away… you can guess what they looked like. Such a shame, the bar seemed cool.

The young bartender was rude both times I’ve been there, and I’m not giving it a third chance. This bar used to be a cool place to spend time. Now, it’s hostile territory. 👎🏾👎🏾

Used to love this spot, the bartender here would rather sit at the bar with patrons playing games on iPad than make drinks-which was a mix of tonic and soda, not tequila soda. This bar used to be it. Not so much anymore 🤷🏻
