Suite

A neighborhood gay bar

Suite is a what a gay neighborhood bar is all about. My regular bartender recognizes me and knows my drink, even though I go infrequently. The staff and local feel is the reason why I return. I like to go in the early evening (around opening) because it's quieter to enjoy my drink after work. The only reason why I don't rate it a five star is because the karaoke crowd can be obnoxious sometimes- but that has nothing to do with the way the establishment is run.

This is the biggest snooze-fest of the NYC gay bar scene. Imagine countless alienated Columbia trust-fund bubbies X-ed out of their minds into a totally self-indulgent coma... did I mention the self-hating gay vibe in which latent homophobia from Harlem is mixed with upper west side Angst to form a witch's brew of self loathing unique to NYC? The actual physical location is OK (but only OK), but the crowd embodies the worst of Chelsea preening and the worst of uptown closetedness. Definitely a "skip it!"

Suite is delightful

Suite has undergone a major transformation. I remember this place with the pool table, small booths, rickety chairs at the bar. The new Suite is remarkable. Was there Monday night, happy hour the entire evening. So clean, so friendly, everything tip-top. Will be returning, and be adding to this review. Highly recommended. A true Gay oasis up in the Columbia neighborhood.

Great Place

This place is very different and has a great vibe to it. Welcomes every one and there is always something going on there. Love it

Suite

Went to Suite last night, because I saw the advertisement of a gorgeous black performer outside (think her name was S'hara). It was an amazing show. It was like Broadway on the UWS. I had never seen anything like that before in my life. He/she was amazing. Everyone there was also friendly. Will definitely be back.
