Bitter queens Expensive drinks

by AftermathNYC

I suppose nasty and bitter queens have to hang out somewhere. This place is probably the worstgay bar in America. Certainly for this size. Extremely over price drinks and all the bitterness of Quanine all under one roof.

  • Pros: Nothing
  • Cons: Everything

Main Room Music @ Splash is TERRIBLE!!

by NYCJ

I don't understand why they have the same tired DJs (David Knapp, Tracy Young, Hex Hector, Manny Lehman, etc. ) that play the same music at the same time – over and over and over and over! I do not recommend this place, simply because the music is bad and very boring! Please bring in more of a variety... and more newer DJs!!

The WORST bar in NYC ...EVER !

by cowboynyc

Horrible atmosphere. Lazy ugly bar staff serve you overpriced weak drinks in tiny plastic cups. Music so bad you would think you are in some cheesey time warp. tragic drag messes and more tragic customers. (the very few that were there). I ran to another local bar that was cool and fun with no attitude. don't waste your time or money. you'll be very sorry.

  • Pros: 0
  • Cons: too many to fit here

A lot of fun!!!

by 01201962

I always have a great time here! The people are friendly and so is the staff. I usually go mid week and enjoy some good drinks and great company. The bartenders are the best and the waiters are great also.

I met some new friends and hope to enjoy many fun evenings there! Sometimes I spend too much money but it is worth every penny. Remember, you can't take it with you! CHEERS!

  • Pros: Good looking people and staff; very friendly
  • Cons: too dark, bar stools are uncomfortable; need to accept Credit Cards

Lame big time

by trip23

I absolutely hate this place. It's got a nice set up and nice bathrooms but I've never had a good time there. The crowd is bleh and the cover they charge is ridiculous. There are plenty of places in New York to go that don't charge a cover that are 1000x better. Tourist trap I think.

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: You name it

SPLASH SHOULD BE RENAMED FLUSH !!!

by catmando20

This place has gone down the toilet. I used to go on Sundays when they had Trannyshack. It was a blast. Now they have the most busted drag queens in there with tired lame "performances". I've see good and bad drag....this is reeeeeeeally bad drag. The music is as old and lifeless as the show. The disco theme is just sooooo bad. Who came up with that stinkfest ?

  • Pros: Zero
  • Cons: Too numerous...
