Country guys in NYC do exist!
First time and we went for happy hour. The guys were welcoming and fun that I didn’t know they’d be performing like Coyote Ugly every hour. I liked it so much that we went back at night for more fun and got a great selfie with my friends from the great time.

On a Saturday afternoon, celebrating a friends birthday, we stopped in Flamming Saddles as last minute decision as we were passing on way home. So so glad we did!! We had such a fantastic time, staff was so welcoming and kind and great entertainers, form the person at the door to the bartenders, such a great atmosphere. We wouldn’t have left if not for a ride waiting. We will Definitely be back, thank you so much for a wonderful time, hope to be back soon

Cash only - come on NYC

I am a straight dude, stumbled in here with a buddy. By far the happiest bar I have ever been in. Super high energy, happy people

Pace Picante Sauce commercial from the 90s mixed with Coyote Ugly barbacks with moustaches and fully clad denim. No wet t-shirt, no underwear or visible line dancing.

That's my take on the experience. 👍🏼 if you agree.

I've always had a wonderful time at this bar. After 7:00 p.m. these wonderful men get up and dance properly. And it's fun. In the old days they had one drink normal price and the second drink was free. I have never had a boring time here

Great fun for an evening out in the Hells kitchen area. This is a cash only place and has an ATM on site. It's smaller than I imagined but the atmosphere was buzzing. The service was quick and not overly expensive. It is what it is, a bar with dancing gay men. Everyone seemed very friendly and the music was loud, not much seating but it's an entertainment bar. Not sure if they do food but we ate in a Sicilian restaurant just a short walk away after spending about an hour in there.

I used to visit this place every time I came to New York and even brought friends with me this time to show them a spot I once enjoyed. Unfortunately, we had a shocking and disappointing experience.

One of my friends paid with a $20 bill for a $10 glass of wine. Before collecting the change, we decided to order a second glass. When we were leaving, the waiter claimed we hadn’t paid at all. We explained we had given him the $20 bill, but he handed us the wrong (lower) change and kept insisting we hadn’t paid anything.

Then the manager came over and, instead of trying to resolve the situation, he was extremely rude and aggressive. He told us to just drink and leave — no conversation, no respect.

It was an unacceptable way to treat customers, especially in front of others. Sadly, I won’t be coming back and definitely can’t recommend this place anymore.

Disrespectful and disappointing – not worth your time!
We had a terrible experience at Flaming Saddles, even though we were excited to visit this bar. A waiter openly doubted our word during a simple misunderstanding, and instead of resolving it with professionalism, the entire staff took his side without even listening to us properly. It wasn’t about prejudice — it was about a complete lack of respect and customer care. There are plenty of other amazing LGBT-friendly bars in NYC that know how to treat people right. This one won’t see us again.

Absolutely unacceptable experience!

I was shocked by what happened at Flaming Saddles. One of the bartenders blatantly lied and claimed we hadn’t paid for our drinks — after we clearly did. When we tried to address the situation respectfully, the manager (or owner, not sure) was incredibly rude and chose to believe the bartender without even listening to our side.

We were asked to leave the bar for absolutely no reason, despite having paid. I’ve never been treated with such disrespect. As someone who supports small businesses daily, I would never risk my reputation over $10. That accusation was not only insulting, but completely false.

This place does not value honesty or accountability, and based on our experience, I can’t recommend it to anyone.

Nice place, but it was small and too crowded to enjoy.

Where cowboy boots meet choreographed bar-top routines. The bartenders' performances are a spectacle, and the country tunes keep the energy high. Drinks are reasonably priced, but it's cash-only, so hit the ATM first. Pro tip: arrive early to snag a spot near the action.
