Suite New York Reviews
Amazing unique queer space. I wish the bathrooms were better, the stalls don’t lock 😔. If the bathrooms were safer/friendlier to everyone I would come more often. ❤️
Great bar and great crowd, nice bartenders and karaoke is super cool, the drag shows are iconic and cute! Don’t miss out! This bar is unique
Love it! My first time here and luis made these good drinks along with a great dragshow night!

Dillip was great and attentive and Karaoke was a fun time. Very noticable two drink minimum sign for karaoke so please ignore the rude people reviewing like they couldn't read.
I’m a 68 year old, straight female and I LOVE this place!!! This is such an awesome place to do karaoke!!! Victoria is amazing! The patrons are lively and encouraging!!! Every time I come back to the city, I’ll visit… and SING here!!🎶 🎤
Wonderful oasis for the queer community uptown! The owner & his team are fantastic hosts for some inexpensive drinks & for fans of Indian cuisine, there’s a Kati roll run by the same owners. Highly recommended for everyone .. the queer community, the allies or just anyone looking for a fun evening.
Suite is the best gay bar in NYC. It’s not your traditional gay bar but it’s such a great vibe - people are chill, drinks are strong, no one is judge here. Victoria Chase leads the best karaoke and bartender Luis is always a DOLL!
The best lil karaoke joint in town!! Victoria is a goddess amongst mortals, Luis the bartender is going to sing on Broadway some day, and all the regulars are insanely talented. Love y'all ❤️ 💖 ❤️🔥
I LOVE Suite Bar. They’re always so welcoming and kind to their guests. About an hour ago a my friends and I wanted to grab a night cap. Eric, the bartender, was soooo sweet. They were about to close but he told us it was “last call”. He didn’t have to do that, but he did. And he graciously served us the drinks we ordered. Thank you Eric and Thank You Suite!
A super-comfortable gay space near Columbia. We really have fun with the drag shows, and we nearly always meet new friends there. And the bartenders are always helpful and quick. One caveat: avoid the beers on tap; they've been off-tasting and flat every time we've been there.

Cool, cosy gay bar by Columbia. They had pretty cheap drinks and karaoke! They also had a drag show with an awesome drag queen that was funny, smart, and did backflips in heels!! There was a book release after-party when I went so the crowd was a little different than the usual so I need to go back on a regular night.

Considering it is one of the only LGBT bars in Harlem, the place is refreshing. Still, Suite's small space makes it uncomfortably crowded during the weekends. There tend to be plenty of locals here, though also an increasing number of Columbia students.
Manager is always super rude I hate when he’s there he kills the vibe
My first gay bar experience, and it was pretty underwhelming. Went to see the latest Drag Race episode. Drinks were fairly cheap and the crowd was genuinely enthusiastic about Drag Race, but the atmosphere wasn't as collegial or communitarian as I'd expect. Leave it to the Upper West Side gays...

Instead of the bartender welcoming his costumers, he said “one sec baby” then proceeded to retrieve his drugs from is dealer(it was extremely obvious)…then took an extra 5mins to finish a 3-part cocktail. Work first then enjoy your vices.
There is something seriously wrong with the sound system here. 30 min into Karaoke night I left disoriented and with some lasting ear pain. DONT GO
They let someone literally scream into the microphone repeatedly at length last night during karaoke. The sound was already at TOP volume. The whole room was covering their ears with excruciating looks on their faces and they let the guy keep going/ no staff bothered turning the sound down a notch. The rest of the night was also super super loud, but as to be expected. Letting someone actually scream into a mic at length is not caring for the wellbeing of your patrons. Hearing damage is often irreversible after just one exposure to extreme volume. For those with audio processing or hearing related health issues, this is not a safe place without ear plugs. It was difficult to get fully carefree again after feeling like I experienced damage to my inner ear.
I’d rather be at Guantánamo Bay than listen to this karaoke. this karaoke torture should be illegal.
Got turned away because the bar tender thought my friend's ID was fake. We were pretty mad at the time but in hindsight it's pretty funny because it's one thing to think a fake ID is real, but how bad at your job do you have to be to think a real ID is fake. The bartender even bragged about being sooo discerning about fake IDs. What a joke.
