Phoenix

Positives: Sundays are great with live music and free bbq in the summer. Owner is friendly and the vibe was fun. Negatives: Came on Saturday happy hour and found the bartender inattentive. He just sat chatting to one person and didn’t check if we needed any drinks so we left after one. Found him unfriendly and cold. Been coming to NYC for many years and always find a warm welcome wherever we go. Probably won’t be back here.

I LOVE the Phoenix! Great servers, great drinks, great music, and great fun!! I hosted my birthday party at the Phoenix and the vibes were wonderful. Everyone was super kind and welcoming. The owners are lovely to work with and are super accommodating. If you’re in the east village, you should stop by!

Bartender was snippy and seemed annoyed at the slightest question. Never asked if I wanted a tab started, just assumed all 3 people in my party were on one tab and then was very unhelpful in figuring out our confusion. He also disappeared for 15-20 minutes after we ordered our first drink, leaving us completely alone in the bar. Their ATM also wasn't working, so the 20 dollar card minimum was an obstacle when we decided "wow this bar sucks, lets leave" after our second drink.

Cute gay queer spot to attend to. Noise levels arent too bad and they generally have nice events with good music selection. Prices are average with a good atmosphere but it can get a little crowded on event times. Good spot to take a group though!

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!
