GO TO RISE

One of the best bars in the city, been going to Rise for years now and it’s always a great time! Y’all rise n shine ️

Been a patron of RISE for years. Love the Monday night drag show with Jasmine Rice LaBeija, Pissi Myles, & DJ David Serrano. Always a great time with friendly staff & gorge interior. I appreciate the attention to detail and love supporting this gay owned venue. Five stars!

Drinks are always good (heavy poor) and the entertainment is fun most nights. Lots of good Kate night food options nearby. New expansion has made the place double in size and double in fun

Great bar, great owner, NYC staple of the gay community, safe space for everyone from everywhere

Well I went to this place last night with my couple for a drink after a long time. We decided to come in and enjoy a drink guess what drinks are over price I paid 52 dollars for 2 drinks plus tips I ended up paying $60 for 2 regular drinks. The drink are way over price since they opened another sección they want to make the money quick please they are others options of places with better crowd. Please go to another place

Had an absolutely fantastic time here! The staff were wonderful and welcoming, and the bar itself is spacious! Though I came for a popular event and lots of people were there, it was comfortable with enough room to see the TVs (we were watching Eurovision) and comfortably move around. EXCELLENT drinks and drink specials! Fun, friendly crowd! We loved the show by drag performer Svetlana Stoli! Thank you for a great time, Rise Bar! Looking forward to my next visit here!

Rise bar is one of my favorite spots in NYC since I was in grad school in South Carolina. I would save money, buy a ticket and first thing of night hit the Rise. It was like that for last 7 or 8 years and it never disappoints. The best crowd, the best entertainers and of course best bartenders. There is no city in the world as NYC and there is no gay bar as Rise!

Rise Bar is one of my favorite bars in Manhattan, and living close by I love going there several times a week even if to swing by to say hi to the staff and queens. Always feel welcome and at home there with my community.

Nice priced drinks for Manhattan and def a gay croud, but this dj they hired "Eugene" should stick to barmitzvah music. Had to leave before I heard another 2003 black eyed peas song

Rise gets my vote for the hottest guys, alongside maybe the Q. It can get a little packed but Tracy and Matt are awesome and the drinks taste great. I do run into some characters here and there but it's nothing atypical from the rest of the scene here in Hell's Kitchen. Definitely worth checking out!

Not my first time coming here just it is my first time leaving a review. I have to say the crowd is amazing like always, a bit of shade with some great drag shows. If you want to get good drinks this is the place. Now for dancing it is crowded just a bit of wiggle room you can manage dancing. All and all I want to give a shout-out to Tim for being a great bartender and having impeccable friendly strict customer service amazing guy.
