9th Avenue Saloon

Rude security guards were threatening to expel and—not implicitly—assault anyone who didn't stay in line for the bathroom; even standing side-by-side wasn't allowed. I'm starting to question the importance of the bathroom; it's almost comical. Furthermore, the place is dirty and cramped. Don't waste your money there.

Excellent doorman. Ditto for most bartenders.

Why is a Tito’s martini 🍸 over $29 at 6pm? 💸

You want to wait 20 min for a drink and have your songs cancelled onthe jukebox this place is fun.

Came here as a group. The bouncer only allowed a few of us through the door and then cut the rest of us off, saying that the bar was suddenly closed. We asked the bouncer if we could send one person in to let our friends know that several of us were not allowed in. He very quickly raised his voice and refused to allow anyone in. We were unable to let our friends know that we were not allowed in, and the bouncer continued to yell and then insult my intelligence. I offered to let him hold my wallet as collateral to make sure that I didn’t order a drink or anything, and still he was immediately aggressive and unwilling to even hear us out. I understand that the bar closes at a certain time and that it’s smart to have the bartenders stop serving drinks ahead of that closing time, but we got there at 3:30 and the bar closes at 4. It’s not a smart business decision to have this bouncer at the door. Cruel man, bad night.

I always enjoy coming to 9th Avenue Saloon with my husband and friends.

Love the staff... They are all very friendly and great drinks

Best times I had in nyc!! Bartenders were amazing and atmosphere was the best

The place has a really nice atmosphere, and Dakota, who is a wonderful person, served us! 💙💙 It deserves to be there. Thank you for making our stay in NYC so enjoyable!!

My go to spot in NYC. Relaxed clientele and atmosphere. Happy Hour Mon to Fri is a good value. $40 for 2 double Absolute cape code seems excessive but hey, it's the Big Apple!

I wish I had read some of these reviews before even wasting my time walking over to this place... On November 2 (about 8:30pm) I came here to grab drinks with a friend and was rudely denied entry for no apparent reason. I was not drunk, high or disheveled. I cannot recall something like this ever happening to me anywhere, especially in Hell's Kitchen where I've been to countless places and they're hardly the cream of the NYC society to begin with. But having read the reviews now I'm starting to understand. Better stay away.

My friends and I have been longtime local customers of this bar, but we stopped going after several recent incidents of crime. Multiple friends of mine were drugged, robbed (phones, wallets, and keys stolen), and even assaulted. It was hard to believe at first, but it’s happened at least three times among people I know. I believe the bar should take serious action to address these crimes - unless they’re somehow complicit. It’s unfortunate to lose a neighborhood spot we used to love, but the recent crimes show that something troubling is going on there. Please be careful if you decide to visit this bar. I've never given one star review on Google map, but I do think serious repetitive crimes keep happening here, so I want to alert everyone.
