Editorial Review for Therapy – by Tony Phillips

In Short
It's refreshing to find a nightlife environment disappear instead of kaleidoscopically pulse like XL. Therapy's physical space is simple: The two levels are joined by a grand staircase, plain brick walls, lots of warm wood and a dramatic skylight. On any given night, it's jammed with well-groomed, 30-somethings having Psychotic Episodes, Delusions or any other martini from the menu, as well as tasty appetizers.

User Reviews for Therapy

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

After an unpleasant evening at another local Hells Kitchen Bar, this was such a nice place to hang out and get great drinks with great friendly service, The bar was very nicely air conditioned which is very hard to find in NY. The bar was so refreshing and the bartenders were so happy to be there and serve me! This is my new favorite spot!

Pros: AIR CONDITIONED! Lighting was so cool, friendly

Cons: None! Just thankful they rock in Hells Kitchen

I used to be a big fan of Therapy years ago and routinely recommended it as the best gay bar in NYC because of the decor, the after-work professional vibe (compared to the model/waiter/i-banker looking for a toy vibe at G and XL), and the location, but the service was always lacking. One of the groups I belong to had its holiday party there last week and a good party ended on a very sour note because of a bartender. After having bought 7 drinks and tipping $2-4 for each drink, I was a bit drunk and on the last round of three drinks was busy talking, gave the bartender, by credit card and absently forgot to include a tip. My friends and I lingered a bit as we picked up our drinks. The bartender said 'you need to move'. I said 'give us a sec' and he retorted 'this space is for people who tip, and you don't tip'. Lack of customer service, grace, or a memory aside, this isn't good business.

Pros: space, atmosphere, snacks to share

Cons: service
