Flaming Cowboys

Just when I thought NY could not any gayer I stumbled onto Flaming Saddles Saloon.  Located in Hells kitchen, this country themed gay bar serves the most unexpected fun you will have in years.

I personally don't like country music, unless is Natalie from Dixie Chicks trashing President Bush of course, but this neighborhood bars embraces it to the fullest.  You might think that they play the usual divas like Dolly, Shania or Faith it being a gay bar after all but instead its a full blown southern country bar.  The kicker?  Just like Coyote Ugly the bartenders dance on top of the bar either by themselves or as a group.  Every time one of these cowboys jumps on top of the bar the place is filled with the energy of a rodeo that makes you want to put on some boots and line dance.











 Decorated with barrels and wooden benches, this saloon also serves their famous Fritos Pie.  Although I am yet to see someone order one (cowboy or not this gay bitches are too vain to pig out in front of people like that) the Frito Pie consists of... you got it Sherlock...Fritos, chili, sour cream, jalapeños and god knows what else.

Flaming Saddles is a good laid back bar to go during the week and catch up with friends while enjoying a nice cold beer.  The boys dancing is a good fun add-on.  I honestly looked for a mechanical bull, which would have made the place a full blown shitshow, but was gladly disappointed to know that there wasn't one. 

 Go check it out on 53st and 9 ave but make sure that if you are a straight woman you don't "woo hoo" as the sign clearly states.  Who knows, maybe you'll run into someone eating their infamous pie.  If you do please take a pic!
