If you can, avoid peak times on weekends, like 10 PM. It gets packed and you might find yourself waiting a while just to grab a drink or a tiny table. I regretted not going earlier that night!

I recommend chatting with the bartenders; they're friendly and can give you great tips on what to order or even the best nights to come back. I found their recommendations spot on and really enjoyed trying something new!

I suggest visiting on a Tuesday or Wednesday night; it’s way less crowded and you can soak in the vibe without being squished. Also, drinks are sometimes cheaper those days!

My advice is to take a stroll around the West Village before or after. It’s a charming area with nice spots for photos and some cute cafes. It really adds to the whole experience.

Bring cash! Some places around there offer better deals for cash payments. I almost missed out on a great cocktail because I didn't have any.

If you can, check out the small events they host on weekends. I went to a drag show that was so much fun and not packed like the bar can get on Fridays!

I recommend hitting The Monster on a Friday night around 10 PM. It gets super lively and the crowd is awesome. I went on a Saturday and felt it was a bit too packed for my taste.

I recommend hitting up the happy hour from 5 to 7 PM for great drinks deals! They have some fab cocktails that won't break the bank.

Keep an eye out for the themed nights! They have some amazing drag shows and karaoke that really amp the energy up. I totally missed the karaoke night on my visit!

The space can get crowded, especially on Fridays, so try to find a spot near the bar early on. I learned that the hard way—I spent half the night just trying to find a place to sit!

If you go on a weekday, you might find the happy hour is a steal! Drinks are cheaper and the vibe is really chill compared to weekend crowds. I suggest going around 6 PM.

Definitely check out the local drag shows in Eagle. I think they really showcase the talent in the area and it’s a super fun vibe! Tickets are often cheaper when you reserve online, so do that if you can.

I suggest getting there around 9 PM if you want to catch the live performances. The energy levels peak after that, and you'll see some amazing talent!

My advice is to order their signature cocktails—absolutely worth it! Just make sure to pace yourself because they’re stronger than they look.

If you want to enjoy some drinks without breaking the bank, try the happy hour at The Barrow. I think it runs from 5 PM to 7 PM and offers some great deals on cocktails and appetizers!

I had a mixed experience at one of the bars where the music was too loud, making it hard to chat. Next time, I’d pick a spot with live music starting later in the evening so I can enjoy both the vibe and conversation.

My advice is to mingle with the locals at 'The Phoenix Gathering.' It's a welcoming space if you’re looking for friendly vibes. I suggest going on a Wednesday, when they have fun themed nights and more people show up!

I recommend checking out the local drag shows at the bars on Friday nights. They’re lively and packed with energy, allowing you to experience the true spirit of the community. Just be sure to arrive by 8 PM to snag a good spot!
