HUSH

The security team at this location is amazing. They were able to recover my lost pocketbook and ensure all of the contents were inside…. Thank you hush for employing these wonderful ladies and gentlemen

I came last night for Latin leche night and got there around 11pm. I have been here before and I love the space and it’s always so fun, the music, kind bartenders and dance floor. Last night when I arrived the guy working to check our bags and pat us down was being very disrespectful and I didn’t want to say much because I didn’t want to start the night off bad, but he fully groped my crotch. It was extremely uncomfortable. I’m happy that there are measures to ensure safety of the establishment, there is a respectful way to do a pat down, but when he groped my genitalia I felt completely violated.

To be frank, I’ve never been to a bar where I felt fully included and immersed in the programming. The ambiance and the culture that is cultivated is truly something special. I’ve never felt so safe to live my life to the fullest and have a true night out before I came to hush. Q the manager truly is a gem, he makes everyone feel welcome and makes sure that this “safe space” actually feels like a safe place for its inhabitants. This is one of the first gay bars I’ve been too and it left an impression on me that big I’ll last for a long time. It’s my favorite gay bar for a reason. If you haven’t experienced it, do yourself a favor and try it out.

HUSH is easily one of my go to spots for gay nightlife in New York. The vibe is just genuinely fun. The space has a high energy feel that still manages to be inclusive and welcoming. What I love most is the diverse crowd. You see all kinds of people there, different ages, styles, and backgrounds, and everyone blends together naturally. It never feels cliquey or uncomfortable. It feels like a real slice of queer NYC all in one room. The nightlife manager and host, Q, did an amazing job curating the vibes. The line of events and DJs there are truly amazing. There is always something interesting on the calendar, from themed parties to special guest DJs and performances. Q also works great with the staff and customers. I have seen him solving difficult situations in a professional and friendly manner. He always brings a great vibe whenever he is running an event. He is super easy to talk to, and clearly cares about the people in the room. One night I could not find my coat after coat check, and while the staff were busy trying to help, Q personally stepped in and made sure it got sorted out. He helped me track it down and worked with the coat check team until we finally located it. That might seem like a small thing, but it really meant a lot at the end of the night and showed how attentive he is as a host. Overall, HUSH adds really positive energy to gay nightlife in NYC. It is a place where you can dance, meet new people, and just enjoy being out in the city. I always leave in a good mood, and that says everything about the kind of space they are creating. If you are looking for a fun, welcoming club experience, HUSH is absolutely worth checking out.

My second time at Hush! This time it was a much different experience, probably because we came after midnight. There was $10 cover at the door. They have nice coat check in area. There are two floors, a bar in each floor. First floor is pretty basic. The restrooms are all gender and an attendee supervises guests going in and out. Much needed service for keeping the area functional. Second floor is where the main party is. There are multiple performers, DJ is amazing, crazy good songs. The bar on second floor is smaller but good enough to serve the needs of the guests. They have tables and benches available that is used a lot by the guests. Overall it was a nice clubbing experience and would be happy to be back next time.
