New York City, New York
Hell's Kitchen's cowboy gay bar where bartenders dance on the bar.
Flaming Saddles is a country-and-western gay saloon on 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, and it commits fully to the bit: bartenders dancing on the bar top, honky-tonk on the speakers, and line dancing breaking out across the floor. The decor is full Wild West, and the drinks pour strong. It's one of the rowdier rooms in the neighborhood, less a place for quiet conversation than for two-stepping, whooping along, and watching the bar-top show. The crowd is a mix of regulars and first-timers who come for the spectacle, and it's a reliable group-night anchor. For travelers, it's a distinctive change of pace from the standard pop-and-disco gay bar, and an easy walk from the rest of the Hell's Kitchen circuit if you want to fold it into a longer night.
