Matt BMarch 25, 2014If this place was better ventilated and bigger, I'd come here more often. That being said, it's a pretty awesome bar: Soviet-themed, friendly crowd, porn on the TVs, and strong drinks sum it up.
Why not join The Party? Happy hour is late and shenanigans usually start even later. Self-proclaimed "best fucking gay bar in the universe." I wouldn't argue with Cold War era Russians, would you?
GuySpy AppSeptember 28, 2013Great bar! The music is always amazing, gorgeous go-go boys and the bartenders are hot! Make sure to get a drink from Darren!
Marc IsenhartOctober 24, 2011If you think the bartenders are rude or entitled, you're obviously a douchebag that knows nothing of common decency or bar etiquette in NYC. The bartenders here are sweet, and sexy on top of it! Go!!
Longest and latest happy hour in the city. $4 well liquor and $4 bottle and tap beers til 10 every day!! Drinks are very strong.. And no, they won't put more cran in your cocktail. :-)
Always a fun time - relaxed atmosphere with just the right amount of dive
Carlos FernandezOctober 13, 2011You are in an east village bar deal..... the Bartenders are awesome and sweet just take the time to ask how their day is cause.... mid town douches don't know how to act like humans
Nasser AlQatamiFebruary 24, 2012Dingy yet ecstatic dive bar with the allure of 80s Gay New York. CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper's boyfriend usually slinging drinks behind the bar.
Katie EytchSeptember 6, 2016Definitely has a more club vibe and doesn't get started until after 1am. If you come early expect to leave soon or stay and be bored.
Better for dancing than some nearby gay bars, but more crowded than Bedlam. And darker and more humid..
The best local bar in the East Village. The bartenders are amazing.
The Corcoran GroupJuly 9, 2011Small and very dark Soviet themed bar packed with an ever-changing crowd, very loud music and dancers. Happy hour lasts until 10pm.
Party EarthApril 4, 2012“The venue has cool décor & a laid-back vibe, but the gay porn imagery on the walls are enough to scandalize even a hardened club veteran.” More at
Amber MollerSeptember 14, 2013Stumbled into this place thinking it was a dark & dingy dive bar, but alas... It's a dark & dingy gay bar instead! There are cocks hanging from the ceiling & porn playing on two screens. Drink was $8.
Andrew CMarch 21, 2016interesting decor, but music and drinks were on point!!! plus, it was quite empty for a Thursday night
💎TJuly 10, 2017Realllllllly dark in here but the drinks and cheap and it doesn't really matter how dark a place is once you're shit faced.
Alex MitowDecember 28, 2013Come for the smell of sweaty balls, stay till you can't stand it anymore.
Miguel de LeonAugust 10, 2014Gayest dive bar ever. When the poles are up the night's just getting started. One at a time in the bathroom boys
Start your week with Sunday Social. There are $2 champagne cocktails and $4 well drinks every Sunday from 2:30-7:00.
YaniqueAugust 25, 2014The bartenders here are sweet and nice to look at and the drinks are reasonably priced! It smells horrible in here though,the place is way too poorly ventilated! Hot as hell in here & too crowded!
Come here if you'd like to see questionable dancers on a pole or literally, Anderson Cooper himself. Both may occur.
HoldenAugust 9, 2012In addition to being soviet theamed they have a mostly working miss-pacman that costs $1
Check out the bar stools...leave a photo of the one that describes you.
Some of the bartenders here have attitudes. I don't care if you're dating Anderson Cooper, just serve drinks.
Roger MatthewsOctober 11, 2013One of the bartenders was very rude, the drinks were bad and the music was even worse. Definitely NOT recommended.
Bri BriAugust 31, 2013It was hot & stuffy & the crowd was less than average looking with poor dancing skills.
