Wonderful place with great cocktails and a cool vibe. They also have an excellent selection of mocktails. The food is classic American cuisine. I’d give it an 8/10. It’s very decent and perfect for sharing or enjoying a few bites with friends. The place is very LGBTQ+ friendly, with a welcoming atmosphere. There are always cute guys around, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and just as charming.

Had a corporate event at the top floor - Food was AMAZING, service was so friendly, bartender so fast, music so fun. The decor was to die for. Seriously cannot recommend enough, and was super easy to coordinate Thank you for such an amazing pride

My friend and I came here twice on our trip to NYC and it was honestly the highlight of our trip. We came for drinks on our first night and the drag bingo. The drag bingo was such a great experience and was probably the most fun we had on our whole trip. The staff is super nice, the drinks and food are yummy and the atmosphere is fantastic.

I needed some comfort food (and a drink) before a Broadway show, and it hit the spot. Pretty crowded, but I got a table really quickly. Good service and atmosphere 🥰 Highly recommend! I had a cheeseburger and got a glass of wine for $10 - they have happy hour until 7pm and from midnight until closing. Such a good deal! 🍔🍷

We stopped by The Dickens before a Broadway show and loved our experience! The cocktails were great, and the vibe was so fun! Such a gem in New York City! We went to The Dickens on a Saturday night. It was busy, but we were able to find a spot upstairs. It wasn’t overly crowded, and we were able to comfortably talk amongst our party. Highly recommend The Dickens!
