$10 to be harassed by rude staff?

by WeHateHenriettas at Citysearch

After being greeted by the SO OBNOXIOUS AND RUDE "Bouncers". (I think the title does more justice, than there not so intimidating faces) You must pay $10 to enter this dump. Sooooo not worth it. So I have taken matters in my own hands... Get the word out and join in boycotting hen's. They MUST make changes.

not really worth it

by nynewbie21 at Citysearch

$10 cover for an empty juke box bar, not worth it in my opinion. I'd rather go someplace friendly than pay to have the staff be rude to me...

discrimination

by jimmybronx at Citysearch

I went there 3/01/08 with six women and five men. We were of mixed sexual preference (gay, bisexual and strait men and women). The men were not allowed to enter because we weren't on the "guest list"!! Henrietta's is not a private club, so why the "guest list"? We thought it was advertised as a friendly atmosphere! I was suprised to see that there is still such discrimination! And by the gay community! We are supposed to be above that, having experienced it so much. As we walked away another group of men made the remark that all gay women hate men...I don't believe that...only Henrietta Hudson's does!

• Pros: none
• Cons: did not allow men inside

Best Lesbian/Gay Bar

by rachelbff at Citysearch

Classic. If you haven't been to Henriettas - you really are missing out... It is the first lesbian/gay bar that I have been to in NYC and it truly was one of the best. The other places that I have been - have only been "party nights" at Straight Bars/Clubs ... at Henriettas you are bound to meet up with a hot lesbian or make a new friend to party with in the city. The place is quite small but thats what makes it so much fun. Hey, you can never lose who you came in with!! There are two pool tables in the second room, two full bars, and two bathrooms!!! There is one DJ who spins a variety of music that changes throughout the night... Thursdays are free and known for the hip hop and salsa ... the bartender DEE is wonderful and the bouncers are sooo sweet. Sometimes there are go-go dancers that perform on the mini-stage / pole (which is open to the regular public when they are not there [wink] ) There is a happy-hour and many people show up after work in their full-suits which is always a pleasure... check it out - you'll def have a terrific time

*** spring and summer are the best because of the outside area ***

• Pros: Music, Cheap Drinks, Beautiful Girls
• Cons: Crowded

Girl Crazy

by erinvanvorst at Citysearch

It was in fact the first 'gay' bar in NYC that i went to -- as well as the first 'lesbian' bar i've ever been to. Possibly the best time to go is during pride -- so many different faces...

packed.

The West Village bar of choice for a wide array of gay women.

by Contributor at Citysearch

A casual, welcoming hangout complete with videos and jukebox. It gets pretty packed most nights, so don't expect to get anywhere near the pool table unless you arrive extra early. Bands and DJs play Wednesdays through Sundays, and charming bartenders serve up quality, no-frills drinks. The separate dancing, pool-playing and lounging areas give everyone space, and the constant flow between them creates an inviting, something-for-everyone vibe.

Highly Recommended to meet women

by tsan422 at Citysearch

I have been coming to this bar since before it was Henrietta Hudson thats how long I have been going to this bar yes it is a small cramped loud and deliciously filled with wall to wall women.

Womens bars come and go as we all know but this bar has been around for long time why? Because it has what it takes to keep a womans bar going and that is? A Lot of women from all over.

I love this bar even though you cant hear yourself talk but hey if its women you want to meet and have a good time as well then this is the place.

I truly give this bar a high recommendation and hope that it remains open for a long long time.

First time at H.H and the vibe was great! Alot of girls, very crowded. Being from Toronto,Canada

the scene was very different. There are so many more hotties here!! Plus Lisa G- D.J is awesome!

Everyone who worked there made us feel so at home. We danced and got totally ripped and it was fantastic. I can't wait to go back.

• Pros: great vibe, good looking people, inexpensive
• Cons: , crowded, music could be better
