Ritz Bar and Lounge offers a lively atmosphere with a drag queen show on the first floor and a cover charge of $10 that can be used towards drinks. The music and ambiance still receive praise, creating a vibrant club-like experience in the Hell's Kitchen area. The front bar is the only area serving during happy hour and some weeknights, but the overall vibe has changed over the years. Some customers mention that the club was once the coolest, hippest bar in Hell's Kitchen, with a fun vibe and RuPaul's Drag Race playing at least once a week. However, it is no longer as ritzy and could use a facelift, as it no longer feels as vibrant as it once was. The club has two floors: the top floor is more sparse, slow, and filled with fog for a more introverted crowd, while the downstairs is lively and busy. Customers still find good music and great drinks here, and despite some aspects needing improvement, it remains a popular spot for a fun night out.
