Henrietta Hudson

I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years. However, now I only really come here when DJ Mary Mac is playing which is usually Saturday nights. Otherwise, it could be hit or miss on other nights here in terms of music and vibes. Drinks are a little pricey but nothing unusual. Originally, I would’ve given 2 stars but because I met my girlfriend here, Henrietta will always have a special place in my heart and has been upgraded to 4 stars. When the DJs get consistently better, then I will upgrade it to 5 stars. The bathroom line also is a nightmare but I simply piss outside of its unbearable. LOL. Some nights will be boring here but some nights will be off the chain. I will always support this venue until I’m 6 feet under.

One of nyc's best spots. Staff keeps you safe. And they are on point. Drinks reasonable. Bartenders super efficient. Dj DJ's on point

Bunch of kids looking like they’re 16 idk how they all get there. I got a drink it was mostly soda and ice and maybe a drop of alcohol from what I saw when bartender made my drink. Thanks, but never again

We visited early December 2023 on a Saturday night and the bar was awesome! It was packed but we were able to dance with no problem. The music was good, they played all kinds of music from pop to R&B, reggaeton, etc. Beers are cheap and people are nice def coming back!

**They are racist. My Black friend was pushed by a white man here, and Henrietta kicked out my friend, banned her indefinitely, and kept (stole) her ID — all of which feels illegal. I edited my former review when I found out about the above incident, but honestly, it makes sense, because Henrietta's owner and a manager were also racist and misogynist to me (I'm 1/2 MENA & highly feminine, both identities that were not well-received by the owner & manager). Nonetheless - as my earlier review stated - I have lots of fun whenever I go here. All the bartenders are REALLY cool and sweet. Would have been 5 stars, but I took off 2 for the above reasons. Henrietta's owner/manager should stop upholding societal misogyny in which men are valued more than women. Isn't this a lesbian space?

Been coming here for years. There are no systems in place to request the absence of cis men. I fear that this will no longer be a qt/afab bar in a few years. Extremely disappointing. Feels like profit is fully over being a safe gathering space for qt/afab people and it’s very unfortunate. Not sure where to go but this doesn’t feel like it anymore unfortunately

I had not been here in years. A friend came in from California and wanted to check it out, so we went. The staff at the door was nice but the bartender at the main bar was rude. She didn’t know how to make a common drink that my friend asked for. When she googled the drink, she then said that she could not make it. Fine, we switched up the drink. After serving us several times, I go and ask her for the same 2 drinks we had been ordering all night. She gave me mine but refused to make my friends drink with no explanation. Her entire attitude would shift, whenever my friend ordered drinks. Too bad that they don’t hire the type of bartenders they used to hire in the past, who were always friendly.

For me as a woman everything was ok, what I am very upset about is the fact that the bar tender was very rude to begin with one of us, since he just thanked her politely and they responded in a very unnecessary rude way... Then the one in charge of the restrooms also pushed him as he tried to go into the restroom. Same thing to my transgender friend, she was just trying to go to the restroom as well and was treated just as rude as the other one bc they assumed she was a man... That's why I said it was fine for me as a woman. That said makes me feel very upset bc of the discrimination that they went through at this place, it's LGBT and can't even respect people of your community, how hypocrite! The music was ok, but was lacking. ( Also I've been to gay bars and have never treated me like that for being a "girl").
