Iconic lesbian bar for dancing, pool, and drinks since 1991
"On a stretch of the West Village near the Hudson River, this bar primarily caters to lesbians and queer people and is one of the longest continuously running lesbian bars in the country. The funky brick-walled space, decorated with stained glass and a disco ball, hosts rotating DJs spinning tunes. There’s a pool table, and some nights are no cover." - Eater Staff
"Henrietta Hudson is the longest-standing lesbian bar in the country. During the week, it’s a casual spot where you can have a few drinks and snacks, and maybe do some trivia or listen to live music. But on weekends, it turns into a party. Stop by on a Friday or Saturday night, and you'll find a packed dance floor underneath a disco ball. Stay up to date on events by following them on IG." - rob anderson, matt clifton, nikko duren, neha talreja, bryan kim

"Open since 1991, Henrietta Hudson is a lesbian bar in the West Village that's older than most of its regulars. It’s a space for anyone and everyone, with a lovely sidewalk cafe to sip cocktails and a rowdy dance floor inside for DJ nights, karaoke, and an all-around fun party scene. Owner Lisa Cannistraci has been at the forefront of Hen’s success, renovating the space after pandemic shutdowns to usher in a new era of celebration and togetherness for all LGBTQ+ people who want to enjoy a historic lesbian space." - Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
"With burlesque dancers and a high concentration of Feeld users, Henrietta Hudson is one of the best queer bars in the city, which means there’s already lots of gossiping and fooling around happening here on the reg. But the Housewives kept their drama to a minimum here, and we appreciate that RHONY showcased the popular lesbian bar while keeping things light and fun. Watching Brynn wingwomaning for former J.Crew exec Jenna by flirting with everyone within a two-foot radius was some of the least Housewife-like behavior this season. (But it’s exactly the kind of thing we’d like to see more of in the next one.) " - gabe bergado
