I went to Brite Bar this past Saturday and had a great time this was my third time at Brite. The music was fun and the drinks were strong. I had one of their house drinks then my usual Ketel and Soda. The bar staff was having a great time behind the bar which made the customers feel like they were part of the fun and some were. I was given an advert for an entertainer they have on Sundays and decided to go. OMG! What a blast. This performer Candis Cayne was 1. Gorgeous and 2. Hysterical and can dance. She ran into 10th ave and climbed onto cabs and sang and even engaged the police that watched her show from their van parked out front. I cant wait to go back.

Pros: Good drinks, Friendly Staff, Fun Atmosphere

Cons: The crowds on 10th Av, Marque/people sometim, Can be loud

All I have to say about this place is that I asked the bartender for a glass of water, and she told me she was too busy and not right now. I was having an allergy attack and needed water, waited 15 minutes while she ignored me, and ended up having to go to the manager to get a glass of water. I guess they don't care about service at this bar or if their customers are having a good time. I'm an event planner for a major firm, and I will never go back and will let everyone I know about my lovely evening there.

bouncer was horrible. would not let me and my friend (two cute girls) in for no reason when there was hardly anyone in the bar and proceded to let others in to prove a point. frankly we just wanted to use their bathroom and have a quick drink before going somewhere cool. they are horrible losers and spending money there supports an organization that pays the worst bouncer i have ever had the displeasure of encountering. do yourself a favor and just spend the extra time and money to go somewhere worth your night.

Cons: bouncer, b/t crowd

We stumbled upon Brite on our way from another club. This place looks trendy, was attitude free, and had great service. The crowd was young and good looking (probably people who needed a break from the pretentious clubs around the corner). I had a great time here and would definitely return.

Pros: good crowd, no attitude, trendy

I was in the neighborhood checking out some of the more trendy spots when I stumbled onto this one. Instantly, it felt warm and welcoming. The vibe was really hip, but also friendly. Plenty of places to sit down and just relax. Great bartenders. Excellent cocktails. Very neighborhoody type spot. I even came back the next night, which I rarely do at a bar, as I prefer to check out new places.

Pros: great drinks, cool crowd, relaxing

Whenever I get back to NYC - heading to Brite Bar means getting right back into a NYC way of life - the best neighboorhood bar in Chelsea. Always a big hello from John and Chris, who always manage to introduce you to someone new - it is kind like "matchmaking" for friends.

Have been to the bar several times and each time it seems to get better. Great atmosphere, killer cocktails and excellent music make for a very fun evening. Brite doesn't suffer from the attitude you get in some of the other bars in the area. My favorite bar in the area.

Pros: Fun Crowd, Great Staff, Great Environment

Passed by with friends for a birthday party (on our way to another bar...and never made it), went in and finished the birthday bash there! After being there approx. 20 minutes we met the owner who hung out with us and introduced us to many of the people in the bar, of course creating a larger party!!! Crowd is very attractive, Chelsea to yuppy, and late 20's to mid 30's. Atmosphere is great, friendly staff, awesome drinks (unique)...the bartenders were a blast and the dj fantastic. Thanks for a great evening! Your bar is now a hot spot for us all!

Pros: Drinks, Beautiful crowd, HAPPY HOUR

Editor's Review

Lite-Brite toys and locally brewed "energy" vodka stir up a lively vibe at this 10th Avenue lounge.  See the full editorial review.
