I’ve been coming to Cubby every week for 2 years now and I can hardly find the words for how amazing of a bar it is. Kass, Vick, Marissa, Omar, & the rest of the Cubby team are INCREDIBLE. This is such a haven for the queer/female community here in nyc and I always have an amazing time when I pull up. If you’re looking for a bar to frequent or even just a one off good night, this is the place for you. The music? Immaculate. The drinks are so good every damn time. & to top it all off the community is just one of a kind and so welcoming. I’ve made so many friends here and couldn’t be more grateful for the community Cubbyhole provides us. Here’s to another 30 years of Cubs!!🩶💋

Went there with a friend for my last evening in NYC and had a grand time. I will definitely go again if I ever come back to New York!

Didn't have a family to be with, knew I would be welcome here, even got huggs and homade whipped cream on my pie! Priceless! It's a wonderful life :)

A very special place with the best LGBTQ+ atmosphere, especially for women. Great vibes and reasonably priced drinks to kick off the afternoon or evening!

This is a very welcoming bar (even for breeders). It never fails that we strike up a conversation with a fellow patron. Everyone is here to enjoy themselves. It gets very packed but the bartenders are very attentive & will get you a drink in quick order. Keep in mind that it's cash only. They have a terrific jukebox that will keep you dancing (if you can find the space) all night.

Truly one of the best places to go out and be gay. No food but still giving 5 stars because lesbians rule!

I had a good time until I didn't. I am a Brown woman that is visiting from another state, and I was kicked out of the bar for something that I did not do and was not my fault. There was a white woman and her party that (for the 2.5 hours that I was there) was purposefully and maliciously grinding, making out, and bumping into my friend and I who are both brown. In the end, the person that I was with unfortunately became aggressive and pushed them because she was sick and tired of asking them to give us space after they were not respecting our wishes. The bar is small, but there /was/ enough room to move someplace else. They chose not to. When I tried to explain the situation to a worker, I was asked to leave despite not being part of the problem and after trying to get them to understand what had been happening for the past two hours. I tried to give cubby hole the benefit of the doubt when I read from other POC that this was not an inclusive space, but after my experience, I will never be going back because these people are only allies to white lesbians.

Quaint, but the crowd was adult, the bathrooms clean and the vibe and decor divey just like a bar should be...

Love love love this place. Visiting from Savannah and the bartender was lovely as well as the vibes. Wish we had a place like this back home. 🥰
