Evolve

Gorgeous place. If you want to have a drink and relax this is the perfect spot. Not too big, not too small either. The staff is very down to earth. They always have enough bartenders working. The Ts girls are not rude. Usually the most beautiful tgirls of the area hang out in there. The restrooms are always clean. They even have an atm inside. Im definetely coming back. I loved the experience.

Came here with friends to see a buddy. Was pretty fun. But will charge you multiple times if you use credit. Check your statements.

I have been here a few times. It’s a big place, clean. Fun music. Crowd is very mixed, friendly and a bit older. Good drinks. Have shows. Now they have strippers twice a week.

It’s ridiculous! We arrived at around 10:18 PM and wanted to check out the joint and they’re charging $ 20 each for cover charge. This joint is charging $ 11 for a glass of Jacob’s Creek Cabarnet Sauvignon!

I went to evolve with a friend to see a friend dance there. I felt bullied and pushed into either buying more drinks (which were over priced and watered down) or buying a lap dance. This man (who’s head is shaven bald and has a beard) made us feel that we had to do one or the other or get out! Even though we still had a drink in our hand! We felt uncomfortable and after spending a lot of money there. We should have been able to enjoy the hot men, but instead we felt bullied and uncomfortable !

Nice Relaxing bar to just chill out at in the afternoon. They have a nice quiet outdoor patio if you need to take a call on your cell. Liked the place a lot.

Gross. We didn’t even go in because the doorman made fun of my friend who has a stutter. What an asshole.

I love it on wed and sat.

It’s my first time to this place, the place is awesome, it’s calm, the bartender (Duke) is awesome, I would offer this place to people besides the place that I work to…

I went here with some coworkers after work one day. They explained to me what it was, and were hesitant to bring me not really knowing me all that well. When I walked through those doors I felt like I had dressed in my finest outfit and had been working out for weeks — I hadn’t, I just ate a slice of pizza with garlic bread and I’m pretty sure i had a decent chunk of mozzarella cheese stuck in some of my teeth. Anyways, I now know what its like for a woman to walk into a country bar.
The bartender was really friendly and poured me a generous cocktail. I saw him pour soda but I didn’t actually taste it. I guess that’s the charm here :)
walked further back and there was a nice area with a giant sextional (see what I did there) type of couch where kind gentleman could show their Uninhabited interest for one another.
Walked in the backyard for a smoke and was courted by a nice gentleman in his 50’s.
It was a completely different world to me. But I liked it. Everyone was super nice and I didn’t feel like anyone was judging me. (they were)

Came to Tranny Stripper night with a gay friend and my boyfriend. An excellent night was had by all!

After the Third Avenue Street Fair yesterday I walked here. The bar looks really expansive. They have good drink specials. $ 5 well drinks, beer and wine. The bartender was friendly and courteous.

over the past _​_​_​_​_​_​this place feels like they’ve just been throwing everything up against the wall to see what sticks. trivia nights, less than desirable go-go’s, grating music (not to mention the dj’s), and bad television on flat screens above the bar.
in this one humble Unilocaler’s opinion, this is what the place should be: a local watering hole. don’t try to come off as a high class joint, furthermore, don’t charge like you are one. there are a couple of friendly bartenders, but in a place like this, there should be nothing but. they should be able to strike up conversations with patrons. take the televisions out. this is a place to socialize, not watch the news. get some good music. a jukebox perhaps? kick the drug peddlers out of there. this is not 1986. we don’t need that garbage going on inside the bar (and i’m sure the management knows it’s going on). ditch the theme nights. get people in the bar on the merits of the bar alone.
sadly, none of the above has happened. i can’t imagine it will either. this is a bar that’s been dying a slow death and has been for some time. it needs new blood, fresh faces to keep it going. you can’t get that when the fresh faces leave after only one round.
it’s just a shame, that’s all.

This place literally smelled like feces and rotten placenta. The stench was so overwhelming that we didn’t stay. We COULDN’T. It really was that powerful.
I don’t know if they had a toilet blow up earlier or something, but we didn’t even get a drink here. The place was pretty empty for a saturday night with one sad go-​go boy shaking his butt on a stage where no one was playing attention to him.
I will never come back here. Like, ever.

I’ve only patronized this place twice. Once it was the choice of my best bud’s engagement celebratory drinkfest and the other, I needed a drink and this was the least crowded.
Lessons: Never order a Guinness draft. Bottle is always safest for beer. Don’t bring a hot straight guy there. He will get hit on (stalked to be exact) the WHOLE time there. Bring lots of quarters for the pool table, but beware that it maybe «out of order». Men’s and Women’s room means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. The men will pee freely in the women’s room. Hey, I only invade the men’s room when I REALLY NEED TO GO!
Highlights: Their other drinks are not bad. The cran Vodka kicked arse! It’s not pretentious and it’s not overtly pouring mad crowded, unless it’s near drinking holidays.

OW been through some changes in the past few years, but I think it gets continually better. The only drawback is that the mutual existence of both the terribly convenient smoking patio and ATM machine causes me to stay late and do bad things! But, I guess that’s what a good bar is supposed to do. As a fruit fly, I find the clientele very receptive. The bar staff is so sweet and they always remember me. I love the new owner; he knows how to have a good time.
I’m totally biased towards the entertainment, especially Porsche, whom I’ve known for, well, let’s say a bit. But I think it’s fantastic that all their drag performers sing live. It’s really giving credence to a growing trend in the drag scene, which is so different in other cities, in so many ways.
Lots of room; I think it’s NYC’s longest gay bar? Plus a quiet, refined spot in the back and cushy banquettes near the unobtrusive hideaway stage. They’ve even got a piano stashed away somewhere!
I would give five stars, but although the drinks are fairly priced for the neighborhood and atmosphere, I am just a starving artist, and a bar has to offer rock bottom prices to get five out of me!

Twas a dark and stormy Friday night, and of course the only weather-​proof party animals who were willing to help me drink away my emotions were two very fabulous ‘mos. Whereas my straight friends proceeded to chastise me for going out in the rainy williwaw (it’s a word, look it up). one call placed to one of my fave gay lovers went something like this:
Julia: I wanna go out. I’m depressed.
Fave Gay Lover: OMG me too! I’m so glad you called! Okay we’re going to O.W.
Julia: What should I wear?
FGL: Just look fierce & wear those hooker heels for me!
We sidle up to the bar, surrounded by a majority of gay men in their thirties and upwards. [Why did we go here? Maybe my friends thought they could score some sugar daddies tonight?] But the barkeep were friendly, the drinks were giant, and the atmosphere was comfy.
I must admit, it’s probably counterproductive for a female in her sexytime clothing to visit a gay bar post-​breakup. because those eyes aren’t on you, honey. they’re on your manwhore of a friend’s taut little arse.

I didn’t even know gay bars existed in Midtown East until Billy A. started telling me about the OW and the Porsche shows on Tuesday nights. It’s only after several weeks that I finally decided to drag my ass all the way to Midtown in the rain on a week night, thinking to myself: this better be good. Well, it was! I suppose there isn’t too much to say about the bar itself: pretty large, a bunch of couches and low tables, a nice patio in the back. The drinks weren’t very cheap but not too expensive either ($ 8 for my Absolut Citron and soda), and they were pretty strong too. The crowd is definitely a little older than in EV or HK, but people seemed friendly for the most part.
Now about the Porsche show: I can’t say how much I enjoyed it (thanks Billy for introducing me to her!). Finally a drag queen that knows how to be funny without being a total bitch (ahem… Bianca and Mimi…). And she knows how to sing. No, seriously. You have to hear it to believe it. Great show!

Clean and modestly upscale-​looking bar with drag cabaret most nights. Fancy stuff includes a back patio and a smaller room in the rear perfect for a birthday party (hey, good idea!). The crowd is varied, with friends of the performers mixing with spillover sugar daddies from the Townhouse.
Convenient to the 4, 5, 6, E, F, N, and R trains, despite being listed as an UES bar. Queen, please — if you can get to Bloomingdale’s, you can get here!
Say hi to hottie bartender Ramon. Woof! And don’t, repeat, do not, miss the Porsche Live! show on Tuesday nights all summer.

I went trekking up to the UES from my vacation digs in the LES for this great little spot. I was forwarned about a couple of things, but I was very very pleasantly surprised when I finally found the spot and walked in!
The décor is modern and comfortable. What really knocked my socks off was the great outdoor patio area. Where else can you find a great little back yard patio in the city?! The separate sitting areas allows for conversation and I can definitely see myself hanging out here. The crowd is a bit older than in the LES… but there was a good mix of ages and types when I was there. No pressure, comfortable, and friendly!
