Friend's Tavern
Friend's Tavern has been an institution before anyone had heard of a Chelsea boy. Frequented by some of the sexiest gays in the city, this cruise bar is constantly packed with local talent.

Local Hispanic Hangout but welcoming to all
Friends is located in a safe and heavily Hispanic neighborhood with a high concentration of Columbians. It seems full of locals who mostly seem to know each other. This is a good thing! I am American born white, not hispanic, but love diversity. Salsa dance music plays constantly and Friends is welcoming to everyone, especially those new to the bar. I always meet someone new and interesting. The place is a party for everyone with both gay and gay friendly men and women joining in. Its a bar you want to spend the whole evening at. Just 5 blocks from 74th street subway station
Talk less drink more...
I love going to Friend's because of loud music and friendly bartenders.

This place has been around forever and I finally decided to go. Boy, am I glad I did. Great little local bar, hot music, and extremely friendly staff! Lots of fun.
