Been coming to this place for about a year now. This place never fails to disappoint. Started coming here last summer and I could always count on a strong stiff drink after a hard day of work. First time back in the winter and it is the same strong “heavy handed” drinks. It’s always good to see Zack (the bar tender) and other familiar faces. Now new food menu items have taken this place to a new level. Is this a neighborhood bar or a high end lounge? Either way, come through and experience the safe and inclusive (heterosexual friendly) atmosphere, the delicious foods, and high quality drinks.

Mariana (I believe that’s how her name is spelled) was an excellent server who made the experience with me and friends absolutely amazing last night! Would definitely go back as an NYC local and would recommend if you’re into gay bars

You cant beat the drink prlces here in anywhere around nyc. Love the bar friiends and the crowd here in this place. Be open and enjoy the vibe.
This place has been a staple for years, recommended by locals, and it’s not just a gay bar. They have cheap frozen margaritas that actually hit, and it’s only $2 extra to add a flavor. The large size is $10 (and it’s not the one shown in their photos).
The spicy watermelon margarita is also really good and has a nice kick. The pop music is fun, but it gets super crowded on weekends.
In the summer, it’s really nice to sit outside, though there’s no music out there.

Watch your drinks...friend drink spiked, very dangerous situation. They were served from the bar. BE AWARE.

I had a very disappointing and humiliating experience at Mickey’s Spillane’s on 49th Street on November 1st around 9 PM.
When I arrived, one of the staff members — a shorter Hispanic man — told me I couldn’t roll up my weed inside (which I completely respected) and said I could do so on the other side of the fence, where smoking is allowed. The fence is very small and right by the exit, so I simply stepped over it instead of walking all the way around.
Moments later, another employee — a Caucasian man — aggressively approached me and asked, “Are you slow?” He then continued to insult and demean me in front of others, questioning my intelligence for stepping over the fence. While I tried to calmly explain that I was following the instructions I was given by the first staff member, that same Hispanic man joined in on the disrespect instead of clarifying that he had given me permission.
I was treated with unnecessary hostility and public embarrassment for doing exactly what their own staff told me was fine. It was unprofessional, degrading, and completely avoidable.
Management should really train their staff on basic respect and communication. Nobody deserves to be spoken to or humiliated like that — especially when following directions given by the establishment itself.

This used to be my favorite spot, but the music has changed significantly over the past couple of years. There used to be a wider variety of music, including some Paramore and Latin artists like Bad Bunny and Karol G, alongside the usual top 40 pop and throwbacks. The unique music was what made this bar stand out from other gay bars in HK, but it’s become just like every other bar on the block…
As I was pulling out my ID to show the bouncer at Mickey Spillane’s Bar in NYC, he told me that I was “entitled.” I had only stepped outside to smoke a cigarette, and when I returned, he didn’t recognize me—which is understandable. However, being spoken to in that manner while I was complying with his request was both unprofessional and degrading.
I’ve always loved this place—it feels like home—and I’ve consistently respected the staff and the restaurant’s values. That’s why this experience was so disappointing. I never expected to be treated this way at an establishment I hold in such high regard. The interaction was not only unnecessary but also completely out of character for a place I’ve always appreciate. His name is Jacob.

What a joke!!! Don’t fall for their bate and switch of the $5 margarita!!! Especially if you order yours on ice instead of their $5 frozen.. they won’t tell you but you’ll end up paying $10 for a weak drink and they’ll sell you on a double!! Basically you’ll get a $10 drink.. mostly ice, no alcohol and a large bill for a 9th street bar!!! Get somewhere else!!

My very in depth review of this bar includes drinking a single beer in the back room for about 10 minutes and then leaving. It was an amazing experience I'll never forget.
