Great, cozy, funky little place. Front bar was really comfy. We went with a group of 7 to their cabaret in the back to see a fun show. Bartenders and waitresses were great.

Fun Wednesdays night karaoke with dj jack and bartender peter. Super social and great ambiance. Request any song in the karaoke library or online and sing it while the crown cheers with you. Dont be shy no one will judge you if you are not the best singer :)... All personality there with or without great voices. Sometimes im ok other not lol i still have a great time. Its one of my weekly activities.

Wednesday other than holidays i go here a d enjoy the amazing karaoke. Its super fun and omg great singers. Its like broadway is in the house!

The soup of the day was whiskey and the ANTAtainment was super karaoke! Them fox from the guests to the dj to bartender Peter can siiiiinnnggg. Im a shameless i come and do my number knowing i am surrounded by such good karaoke gamers... Love it. Its making my singing better and deepening my knowledge of American culture.Yaaasss!

Small intimate place with live shows.

a nice hole-in-the-wall. Friendly staff. Beautiful Drag Queen

Great space. Wonderful management. Perfect location. Downtown fun on the UWS.

Great lgbt+ bar with drag shows in uptown.

Every event a fire hazard. Fire. Hazard. All of the service terrible. I dont like to complain about service because underpaid people doing their best, right? Its bad here. The food and drinks are also too mediocre for the price point. I would never go here if I didnt have to support a friends event, and I spend a lot of time in the neighborhood.

I recently went to a private event at this awful establishment and had one of the worst nights of my life. The minute I stepped foot into the venue Mike (the bouncer, who was having the biggest power trip known to mankind) aggressively patted me down before scanning my ID with what he thought was some state of the art, high-tech bouncer app on his phone. He took his job far too seriously for a bouncer at a college bar and it took him almost an hour to let in 75 people for our private event, eating up almost half of our precious two hour open bar, while people waiting outside were left to endure NYCs brutal winter weather. The venue then proceeded to end our open bar 30 minutes early without any explanation.Mike spent the rest of the night ejecting people from the venue for no reason (power trip exhibit B) and being overly aggressive with individuals at our private event, leaving many people feeling extremely uncomfortable.The employees at this venue are extremely unprofessional (especially Brandon). If you are considering hosting a private event here, I strongly suggest you take your money elsewhere. Some things in life are too good to be true, and I guess our $30 two hour open bar was one of them, which ended up being $30 for an hour of watered down kid sized drinks, where one server was responsible for serving 75 people.

The West End has a LOT of entertainment going on from drag to karaoke but MY personal favorite is their live stand-up comedy shows. Funny By Default is a great show and you NEVER know who you might recognize from the teevee dropping in..Ill give you a hint, the network name is two Cs!

Best hapy hour and for bar food its really good. The thai chili wings and Mc D like french fries are the best.

Absolutely atrocious venue. I really am unsure how this place is still in business. The place is filthy and unmaintained, and the staff is extremely rude. I will NEVER step foot into this place again and for those of you who havent yet, you shouldnt waste your time.

Theyve started serving coffee and pastries in the morning! They have ½ price refills on coffee & tea, and the atmosphere is chill. The free WiFi and power outlets make it a great alternative to the UWS jammed-packed coffee houses.This is my new morning spot for the foreseeable future.

I met Roy Wood JR from The Daily Show here. Lot’s of great shows and the best Happy Hour in the neighborhood!

Exceptional talent! Great pianist and MC. This evening was the Broadway Bound weekly event. The place was very, very cramped, to the point where it might have been a fire code violation. There was not a smidgen of room between tables, not an inch.

Great vibe, cozy atmosphere and great show

Friendly there forever Upper West Side neighborhood hang with rotating eclectic quality music and entertainment both in the main bar and the attached room. Eats available.

I went during happy hour. This place seemed nice enough at first, so I thought Id write up a nice review. I noticed a few people seemed to have had billing issues when I looked at the reviews. Then I had a billing issue too! I wasnt sure if my drink qualified for a second free one, so I asked the barman if I was eligible for a second one. He said of course. So I ordered some food to go with it. When I asked for the bill for the food, my second drink was added on too! Apparently it didnt. Kind of explains why the place had only 5/6 people during happy hour. Not coming here again.

Blue LI, patatoes totts, karaoke in this Wednesday evening. Always fun tomes i experienced in this place on the Wednesday i start going to sing a song religiously. Adele, tony, grace, g eazy, lauren, youssou ndour, few of the songs that are my go to songs.Great singers and fun crowd. Light, friendly and fun

Nice place to grab a drink after work, although the seating is a bit uncomfortable. Can get extremely crowded on weekend evenings.

Great drag performance space, with reasonably priced drinks!

Dark and not attractive. Guest band was good...

Best karaoke fum i had for a long time. Good energy, good crowd, great fun

1st timer .. Went to support my God son on his 1st appearance performing in NYC.. @mansaeli he did very well as did the other young artists featured at the venue. The back room is where the stage is very very tight in sitting/ standing space so much so that I got showered by someones entire drink order.. Again no worries it happens so I had 2 long Island iced tea.. Yup old skool wasnt in the mood for anything else. Drink was definitely a good look tips hat to the bartender who was there that night not a lot know how to make a decent L.I.T.. otherwise it was a good night.

Clean restrooms, nice staff. The open mic Mondays are fun and worth the 2 drink minimum- definitely check it out if your in the area...

This is a great place to see a spot--and, even better, occasionally they book one of my favorite bands, The Prima Donna Reeds who descend on the stage and blast out their best of such as To Feel You and Red Stilettos! Que magnifique! Whens the next Prima Donna Reed show!?

I enjoy hanging out with the staff who make great conversation.

Great food, drinks, and amazing shows!

Very small hole in the wall, but cool atmosphere for drinks and social gatherings.

Server told me that my tab was $13 when I ordered an $11 dollar drink. When I asked her if there was some sort of extra charge for ordering in the cabaret space, she said it was taxes. She also let me know the minimum for credit cards was $20 when I had already paid a $40+ tab at the adjoining bar. Integrity would be appreciated.

Had a tonne of fun performing here. Great bartenders and great space.

Low-key, cute and nice lil crowd

Horrible Horrible Horrible Horrible establishment. One of ourartist had a performance here and left his iPad with the in house sound tech/Dj Melissa aka Melony. The following day we reach out the establishment and speak with the managers who said they would message her and get back to us. THEY NEVER DID. We call the second day and managers are giving the run around. More emails sent more messages left directly with Melissa and she nor anyone at the lounge got back to us. The final day we call and after more run arounds being told that the manager wasnt in and is running late, the phone was hung up on us. So my artist shows up to there within 30 mins to venue and asks whos in charge and magically the manager is there. He asks for the iPad or else the cops were gonna be called. Melissa the Dj shoves the iPad in his hand and mumbles some disrespectful remarks to the other staff.Please Please Please stay away from business establishments and staff who do not respect the people.We need to remind these disgusting establiments with nasty management and staff that if it wasnt for us coming there with our money they would have no business.VERY UNPROFESSIONAL ESTABLISHMENT Yuck

The nasty little guy working as the bartender on January 31 at 9pm has a really bad attitude to tourists, and prepared our drinks really badly, not mentioning how he almost threw them at us.

Its so cute in here. Its a dive bar with drag queen shows and karaoke! So much fun! The staff makes you feel like youre at home so quickly

Great place . Good price . Super rap show

Waitresses and waiters were very attentive and friendly. Space was small but cozy. Food was delish.

Nice bar with friendly staff in no rush to serve people, so expect to wait a little while, The music was decent but felt like they had already played the set a couple of times that night taking away from the charm of it.

WEST. END. LOUNGE ANOTHER. KOOL SPOT PLUS I KNOW ONE OF THE BARTENDERS , SHE IS A GEM ,GREAT PLACE JUST TO RELAX AN HAVE A DRINK OR 2..

The atmosphere is nice and cozy but the food is overpriced and not good. Small portions and everything tastes like cheap frozen food.

Amazing space with some great shows! I always have a blast here, I am so glad that this type of venue has come to the UWS!

Great entertainment... Great service...

Horrible choice of music theres some nights when the scene is ok but other than that its like a episode of cheers you have the usual people there oh yeah certain weekends they have a drag party dont make the same mistake i did makesure you call ahead and see what type of party is going on one more thing you can also catch some live performances there too

Nice low-key spot for strong drinks

I have been here twice on Wednesdays to experience the karaoke show. Its super fun. Every one such a good singer it almost feels we are on Broadway. And we are. Its located on the corner of 107st and broadway. I had a great time both days i visited and sang super fun song an sang along with the crowd. Excercising my inner super star singer alter ego. Sometime i dont hit the note and its fine. We keep singing and itseven more fun.next time it gets better.I recommend it.

Music. Alcohol. Toilets. All I need.

The bartender serves you as it is a favor. She is rude and when asked a question made a condescending remark. Drinks were horrible just like her attitude. Bad service.

Lots of fun, tasty drinks. Great atmosphere. Enjoyable shows and entertainment.

Will only be in attendance when Vee Henney is hosting/ performing. Drinks are too expensive and they automatically charge gratuity-

Nice service, good event, quality food and drinks

Seemed nice. My friend went there and liked the Lounge

Fun fun and friendly. Late night spot underground where anything can happen

Really cool lounge/cabaret spot. Awesome for discovering new talent.

Loved the performaces

Bar tender is rude. Thought Id give them another chance because he might have had a bad night but that guy is just rude every night.Drinks are expensive, food takes hours to get to you, and it gets to you cold.The only reason Im giving them 2 starts instead of 1 is because the queens are amazing!!!! Those queens really know how to make you laugh and almost make up for everything else.

Chill/fun vibes. Bartender is very friendly.

The West End is many things! It is a cabaret, it is a bar, it is a restaurant, it is a performance space. They have great shows on Wednesday and Thursday nights (probably others but these are he dates Ive been!). I believe there is also karaoke at 11pm on Wednesdays.

Liquor and entertainment. Food is not bad either... I wouldnt call it 4 star food but its a good place to chill with no hang ups.

This lounge has live events and for open Mic nights.

I love this place!!!!! First time last night, and I couldnt pick a better night. Drag show was amazing.

Its a cool spot to chill at and the wings and mozzarella sticks are delicious. Very urban and depending on the night and whos performing youll have a good time.

Came to see performances drinks were not the best and were expensive. Had to pay to come in then to top it off a 2 drink minimum. Not a good experience.

It was ok. It is need of some renovations.

It is 9/ 15/17. Melo, the manager was extremely rude and very disrespectful when it was 80 degrees or more and asked her to turn on the AC. There was no ventilation (windows closed, door too) and she was dismissive (beyond belief) when I asked her to turn on the AC that was on earlier and functioning properly. The bartenders would not turn on the AC because she said no (thats what they told me). She wouldnt even have a conversation with me. Melo walked away mid sentence. What a disgrace!!!! I hope she loses her job. Shes not worthy of such an important position. She is losing business for West End Lounge because she is unprofessional! Im very disappointed and wont be returning.

Its a hole in the wall lounge bar. They add gratitude to your bill and also suggest 15, 20, 25 % tips. We went to see a friends friend perform, walked out kind of disappointed. Mind you walk in knowing that you gotta watch out for your bill. Even soda is overpriced. You get the picture.

Went on a Saturday night where there was a DJ playing. Cool dive-y feel and fun people.

Very fun!

Very intimate and warm.

**TO ANY ASPIRING PREFORMERS: Go elsewhere!!!***You wont be actually judged by your talent.This establishment is doing SO poorly, that youre talent wont be determined by the panel of estimated (but clearly uninterested judges) but by the amount of food and drinks the people you bring buy (on top of the two drink minimum)The extra star is for the host who was actually enjoyable. Service was OK if you like having to wave down your server everytime for them not to remember your soda.BUT if youre looking to add something to your resume do yourself a favor and go somewhere dignified.Thats what you deserve.

This is my favorite Upper Westside Bar. Amazing food, amazing service, and reasonably priced. Thursdays is $1 dollar tacos, and you cant go wrong. The bartender Jamie is a drink specialist who can concoct you whatever your heart desires! The underground also hosts music, comedy, and performance shows!

Great venue for their pop up live show

Great neighborhood spot

Small cosy chill spot

Food is awful. I ate one bite and couldnt believe you could mess up mac and cheese so bad. Went for Bound for Broadway and the acoustics were terrible, the MC was rude (he thought he was funny), and they had the nerve to charge cover and a 2 drink minimum for what is a badly run amateur hour. I felt bad for the singers that had to perform in those conditions. Will never go again.

Wish I could give it more stars! This is a great, friendly local. Love it!

Service and food are meh but the live music is great. Check out VYT Jazz monthly

Decent place but service varies greatly depending on time of day and bartender

Dope plz to prefrome

Good, there are better options in the city - depending on your price point.

Look for the events - they have quite a range and are great fun

Went to see a show and adored it. First time for everything

Great bartenders and the band R.U.M. is fun on Tuesday nights!

Best night ever!

Had a great time plus the food was good!

Pretty awful place to see a show. The service is abominable. Took 90 mins to get a pizza and dumplings! Theres also a creeky door that keeps opening and closing. Shame for the talented performers.

Went on a Saturday night - was a little dead, but fine other than that.

The karaoke host turns the volume down for new comers to the point you think it’s off and he also ignores new comers, basically you’ll sing 3 songs every 12 songs even though there’s only 3 people in rotation. ... Don’t wast your night.

Casual vibe, mixed clientele, live music, whats not to like?

Underground is the best of both worlds you have entertainment in the back and sports up front so if uoure a ny jets fan u have to be there on sundays

Service is terrible, the only focus of the place is to make money. In the short term, at least that what they make you feel! Never again

Fun place to bar hop with live music.

Good attention and nice personal!!!

We were never spoken to by the staff, had to leave the table to order food and drinks at the bar. Fishbowl was vodka mixed with kool-aid and the nachos were broken chips with what must be deliberately bad tasting cheese

Over priced bad service

Too loud, lame music at the bar, broken pool table in a room small enough to be a closet. All the good bartenders left.

Super fun bar and a great place to hear live music!!!

Meh. Dead as a door nail when the sun is out. A few local lushes yelling over the jukebox, and ogling the young lady barkeeper. I dont understand why this bar is listed in Next Magazine as a gay bar. Oh, one night a week they seem to have a drag show. Avoid if youre expecting an actual gay bar.

Small space but live music

They serve their drinks in plastic cups, wake up West End!
