ANIMAL

Horrible experience the white blond lesbian bartender was mean not polite at all, and I was making a video to my friend and the white boy manager said not flash like we were trying to have fun but they killed the vibe I would never go back there staff is so mean! They don’t deserve any tips. So don’t go there!

Im coming here every week. Music can be terrible or terrific!! It’s lottery. Really depends of the choice of the DJ. Yesterday night it was awful. I talked with many guys agreeing the music was so bad. Last week was fabulous. How can it be so variable ??

It is a decent gay bar. It has a beautiful outdoor seating. But I feel personally the vibes are chiller relatively, which I appreciate. Friendly staff that make you feel welcomed especially with good prices drinks!

this place is honestly one of the best new bars/clubs in New York. Located off Meeker Avenue in Williamsburg near Greenpoint., this former Breakers location has been remodeled to a fun but chic aesthetic. The music lineup is always solid so look for great house or techno music. They’ve gotten great DJs that typically would play at Basement or Good Room. The staff is not pretentious and the crowd is a fun interesting mix of different ages..

There’s this male assistant at the bar who just disposed of my drink while I placed it visibly and reasonably within my reach with a reasonable impression to an ordinary person that I was still working on it. After I confronted him, with no apology or acknowledgment, he threatened to evict me from the establishment and said to me “this is my bar. Get out.”

Coat check will take and hour out of you life, two guys behind coat check, 2 minutes to check a coat

Exciting to go, dreadful once you’re there. Half the night is spent in a line—getting in, ordering a drink, finding the bathroom. The vibe is lost in a blur of chopped-up techno and aimless standing around. The pieces are there for something great, but the fun never materializes personally. Would I go back? Maybe—but only with a patience reserve.

Popular gay club with a nice selection of cocktails and an outdoor space, which is great for summer nights. It gets pretty crowded on the weekends, and the DJ can be hit or miss.

A great addition to the neighborhood, from the owners of the Exley comes Animal. The bar has an outdoor area, indoor area with big windows and the main dance-floor. Service is a bit slow depending on the crowds but once you are served the drinks are decent (most things are on tap). The music leaves a lot to be desired but hoping this will be improved as the venue becomes more popular. Overall, I'd definitely go back.

All the hottest gays are here. Turn off your grindr and go OUT. The drinks are great. Indoor/outdoor space and a dark small back room for more intimate conversation.

I'm so happy this place is here, it's more of a bar than a dance club, even though they have a DJ. I appreciate the Exley-style menu of cocktails instead of just dive bar options. They let this (unusual) space just do its thing and it works, there are lots of bar seats and tables and (unlike the Exley) it never feels claustrophobic, but even boasts an outdoor area. Their hours are also gay-customer-conducive, so you can hop on over after brunch, they open at 2 pm on weekends and 4 pm on weeknights to hit that Happy Hour sweet spot.

The space is beautiful, and the sound system is equally beautiful. The music has been great every time I've visited. You can tell they take sound seriously. The energy livens more and more the later it is. It's a smooth pace. The drinks are delicious and served by bartenders who work their butts off to get through the crowd as quickly as possible while maintaining a welcoming vibe. Kudos to the bar owners for creating such a cute spot. A lot of thought went into it.

Watch your credit card on file. They will overcharge you and you will be stuck with a bigger bill. I went in and they charged 2 extra drinks. I went up to a bartender and he said he fixed it but it was never changed.
