On Monday Christmas night we went and had a really great time and the bartender was super nice. Since we had a good time we went back yesterday, unfortunately, we had such a bad experience. The bartender was so full of himself, and was socially awkward. Made us feel uncomfortable from the moment we asked for a drink. He was such a buzz kill ???? Ritz needs to find a better bartender for Wednesday nights, this was the buff gentleman serving drinks last night.

The Ritz is a whole vibe. Been here so many times and each time is unique. The drinks may leave some of the heavier drinkers wanting more but with the music , atmosphere a solid 10/10 who cares. Also big juju vibes for someone I know losing their purse and the ppl there gave it to the DJ and I found it.

Not a bad club. I mostly go there in Thursday nights to see Lanyé, however there are othere themed nights. The club can be empty in the weekdays but gets full after a certain time. Weekends are good too. The drinks are expensive chile. Ensure you pre-game before coming to this one or try to catch the happy hour. I see a lot of people talking about getting drunk and not being aware of themselves within this space - that’s on you; I hole you keep that same energy in consideration of others within the space who drink but not to get drunk/don’t drink at all but come to party for a good time. Sometimes your inebriation ruins the experience of being in the club for others. Jamaican music played on Thursday nights. The dancers are also fiiiine.

This place has taken a massive turn downhill. It’s empty on a late Friday night for a reason. The doormen are rude and classless, the bartenders consider it a privilege for you to be there, don’t waste your time at this place. There are so many other great gay bars in nyc. Anywhere else is better.

The security staff demanded passports and when I showed mine, being Latino, I was refused entry. The bouncers pushed us, saying they don't accept 'our kind of people.' They also denied entry to my Black American friend based on his skin color. It was a blatant display of racism, xenophobia, prejudice, and aggression. Truly a stark contrast to other places in New York.
