    used to go there all the time. one night i paid them at the door to check my coat. they gave it away to someone and couldnt recover it. the night it happened, they asked me to wait until the entire bar closed to see if someone just left it around the bar and talk to the manager. the manager gave me an incorrect number to text her to follow up. I am now having to take them to small claims court to recover $1000. i was super nice about it too, I even gave them a week to recover. they told me even if i paid them to check it, it's not their responsibility, which doesn't even make sense from a legal perspective. so just in general, really shady business practices.

    My phone got stolen here along with three other women on 7/26/23. I politely reported it stolen to a bartender and was met with so much hostility. I went outside to commune with the other women and was spoken to by the owner. They had the same experience from the staff of being treated like rude and oppositional while we were all trying to get home safe. All of us loved the Rosemont previously and had great experiences. We were all so disappointed to be treated this way after being robbed. While the owner was kind, 3 male presenting staff members belittled us like criminals.

    First let me start by saying, I came to the Rosemont later in the night, I got my life, the drinks were reasonably priced. The music was very hit or miss and the space wasn’t the most diverse—did find a few examples tho. Space was more dive-y than I was expected and Acoustics weren’t the best.

    We had a very good rest in this place. The service is very high. Comfortable, cozy and fun.They often hold promotions, if you register at 909gay,com and create a profile, you can get a free, private room for 2 hours and a free cocktail

    We had a nice time in this unpretentious, friendly bar with great outdoor space. It’s funny, but as a first-timer, after seeing the pictures on here I walked in expecting and ordering a classic cocktail. An unapologetic dive, The Rosemont is comically OPPOSITE from those pics…in every way. Don’t mind, love dives (and satire), and will return. But…do better management. I get a feeling you may rely a bit much on friendly bartenders and could do much more to sustain this space.

    A gay bar for queer people playing queer music and dancing! We went on a saturday, loud and a bit too crowded, but there was so much energy, people were generally friendly and carefree, drinks were decently priced ($11) and bartenders were friendly. A lively dive bar, we love to see it. Here’s a picture since all of the others are from 5 years ago

    Fun scene even on the weekdays. Great place to meet people and hang out with people you already know. Somewhat unseeming from the outside, however the inside is a party! Went here with a couple of friends for someone’s birthday and had a blast. Friendly crowd and the bar deals are actually reasonable for New York! Amazed.

    The Rosemont is one of the best queer bars in the city. Whether you want to throw back a few beers or prefer a classic like a Manhattan or Negroni (all prepared with care by the bartender), this is a bar that has something for everyone. The back patio is a relaxed fun vibe with a truly eclectic crowd. But if a night of dancing is more your thing head inside the bar where the music is pumping and people tear up the tiny dance floor after midnight

    Great outdoor space and fun crowd. Indoors smells so bad. Maybe try using pine sol instead of whatever awful smelling industrial cleaner you are using (if anything at all? Or am I smelling barf?). Or learn to mop better? Also my drinks were flat all night. Is management paying any attention?

    So sad to give 1 star, but I also had my phone stolen here. Staff was apathetic and there are rumors that the staff is involved in the many thefts and pickpocketing incidents that go on here often. (Check the other reviews) It’s shame because the atmosphere is nice and I wish we had more safe spaces for the lgbt community. They need to shut down the thefts and I will come back!

    They don't play jazz here anymore, and definitely no live music. Not a jazz bar. Staff are nice though!

    This is my favorite bar! They always have the best music to dance to. The small size makes the dance floor quickly feel full but never overcrowded. There is a lovely large back patio great for getting fresh air, having a smoke, and chatting with friends. They have a number of engaging events throughout the weekdays and great parties on the weekend (my favorite is the Zoo). Usually only a $5 cover. The drinks are cheap! Love you Rosemont!

    Wildly unique and unpretentious dive bar full of friendly locals and the kindest staff! Tons of events, with something for everyone to enjoy. Incredible DJs and drag that will have you dancing until 4am. 🪩

    Incredible vibes on Mondays. This is my second time here and absolutely love it. The team and regulars are super friendly. Killer karaoke and games! Julia and her cohosts kill the game. Highly recommend

    I used to enjoy this bar. Not anymore. The environment is toxic and hostile. One of their drag queens, Merrie Cherry, attacked me and my friend with a cane purposefully during her performance then she threw a tamper tantrum and knocked off the cups from the bar. When I talked to manager he didn’t seem fazed by it at all, as if this happens on the regular. Unbelievable. They’re putting their patrons in danger letting unhinged people perform at the bar. It is not cute for anybody to act like this. Then the manager offered a single shot on the house to make up for it. A single shot. As if that makes it ok for their drag queens to attack their patrons. Will not be coming to this bar again and will advise others not to as well.

    Unfortunately the bar smelled like puke. Moved outside to get away from the smell which was very pleasant and cute. Nice bartender.

    The bartender poured me less than a half of a shot when I asked for a single and hunted me down for not tiping him.

    My partner and I were trying to have a nice night out for the first time in a while. We loved the atmosphere, the drinks were good, and staff was friendly enough. Then we realized their phone got stolen. It wasn’t just us, we shared such an intimate moment with other people who had their phones stolen too 🥰😍. Instead of trying to take action against an ACTIVE PICKPOCKET the staff just shrugged it off saying “it happens all the time” and the bouncer made condescending remarks about the situation. If you’re looking for a place to waste your money, get robbed, and be tossed aside to keep the party going, this place is for you.
