I loved the comedy show last night and I'll definitely be back for it again. However, the person I venmo'd at the door (who was one of the comedians himself) said it was $10 to attend. I remember online it saying $9. I wasn't going to try to pull up the website to show him, over one dollar, but it didn't rub me the right way. Next time I'll have the website ready.

Saint-Ex is a lively, high-energy bar with a fun crowd, great DJs, and friendly staff. I always have a great time here—it’s one of those places where the vibe is just right, and the security presence helps you feel safe and comfortable throughout the night. If you’re into reggae Sundays, Afrobeats, or Latin music, this is definitely the spot. The upstairs often features Latin DJs, while the basement gets wild in the best way—it’s energetic, packed, and always a good time. Saint-Ex is my go-to final stop on 14th Street—a perfect way to end the night.

Bartender was a bit indifferent because I asked for dining instead of an overpriced cocktail. The hamburger was ok - meat cooked well, bun terrible and heavily processed. Zero table service or requests for another drink, more water, etc. Lived this place 5 years ago but now it’s just a flailing dive.

This is a great spot. Came here to see a friend DJ last night and we had the booth by the back. Shoutout the security guy, he was cool and even helped flag down the waiter for water. Big ups. This place turns up better than most on 14th

Tonight was NOT raggae night. It was advertised as Raggae night. It was a lame DJ wannabe sports announcer type thing with tons of barely decent raggaeton. We were trapped downstairs with bad DJ and could not even finish our drinks outside. The barn was barely lively and this was a waste of $35 on two mixed drinks.

It’s not that bad of a place but the bouncers are very rude.

Met up with some friends for a birthday. The bartender was super friendly and extremely helpful. There were two DJs, one at the bar and another at the lounge downstairs. Both were pretty good but different vibes.

Dope vjbe, busy atmosphere. Easy to find and the late night walk up window, saves lives!!! Best part is my barfrkender Necie!!! She’s top 2 bartender in the city…and she’s not 2. FR!!! Gets a bit over crowded so have to give it 4.5 stars.

The only bar I’m frequently at in the city! I’m only coming from Maryland if Niecy is Bartending!! Hand’s down THE best female bartender in the city! The days I go, the bar is pretty packed and crowded, and she still is always attentive and takes care of all of her customers. She tries her best to get to everybody in a timely manner and the drinks never lack! As long as she’s there, they will get my coin!!!

This spot has become a staple for me. The food is consistent and the bar never fails. Niecey always takes care of me when I pop by the bar and when I have energy - the basement is always a good vibe

I had a great time this past Sunday. It was a good crowd with a nice vibe. The bartender Necie was amazing. She held the bar down, with her great bubbly personality and kept a smile on her face even when she got busy. She kept the jokes coming. Lol I always appreciate a bartender who is in tune with their customers. The drinks were great and so was the music. I will definitely be back. Hope she is there.
