I have to agree that Gym is not that great of a bar. The bouncers and bartenders are less than friendly and the vibe leaves much to be desired. As a native New Yorker I much prefer the atmosphere of Baraccuda or Xes if you're going to be in Chelsea. Those bars are alot more chill. Or try Barrage if you're willing to go to Hell''s Kitchen. They have great $3 cosmos on Monday nights. I personally think the bars I listed are a lot friendier and have a neighborhood feel to them.

I went to this bar one Friday night and the bartenders were rude and snapped at me for no reason. Also my drinks are weak and over priced. It claims to be a "sports bar", but it has none of the friendly, laid back atmophere of any sports bar I've ever been to. Go to one of the other 50 bars on Eight Avenue instead. You'll be treated better and have alot more fun.

the bouncers here have a sketchy policy when it comes to kicking ppl out. they might kick you out, then give you a free drink chip since you just got a beer, and then the bartender will yell at you for not leaving a tip when you already tipped the first time (why on earth would you tip again when they're so rude?). w/all the awesome places in NY to go, don't bother with this one. For a "sports" bar, I ran into more attitude here than any other bar I've ever been to.
