The 13th Step - New York City

I was wrongfully told I was kicked out when trying to re-enter the bar after stepping outside to speak with a friend.. when respectfully asking why I was met with a serious attitude problem from the bouncer who was rude and condescending and he was able to give me no reason besides saying “the manager doesn’t want you in”. I tried asking if I could speak to a manager to be given a reason and was only told to leave. I was a paying customer from out of state and am a young female who was then forced alone on the street while my friends were inside. While trying to explain that I couldn’t leave without my friends because I wasn’t from here.. he then placed his hands on me and told me I was trespassing. The bouncers behavior definitely needs addressed by management. I’ve read similar situations throughout other reviews. Would not recommend.

Terrible night. I was wrongly kicked out after deciding not to wait on the ridiculously long bathroom line. When asked why I got kicked out the manager didn’t know. When he came back later after I was stuck waiting outside he said he picked me out because I was too drunk. Made no sense considering he had NO IDEA why I was kicked out in the first place. Very rude staff never going back again. Should be ashamed of how you treat your paying customers.

This been my spot since before I was even legal but today showed me they true colors.... I got kicked out for being to drunk mind u every drink I bought wasn 't for me. I entered in with 2 others and was told as closing my tab that I was to drunk to purchase drinks and to leave the property according to the Manger who co-signed John who knew nothing of the situation said they agreed.

I’ve been frequenting this bar for some time now. Even though beer pong isn’t allowed anymore, I still love going to the 13th Step! I saw a bartender that seems out of his element. He was running around frantically and seemed like he was in over his head. Thankfully, there were familiar faces behind the bar, so I stayed and hung out. Music was fun as usual. But I miss the New York mural that was on the wall. The vibe was very off, but I will give it another chance. And those late night trippy videos look like a screen saver. Go Yankees!

I stopped in to catch the 2nd half of a soccer game as I was walking uptown. The place seems like a friendly neighborhood bar lots of people coming in and out. I did not spend much had a few sodas while watching the game but felt comfortable and welcome just the same.There did seem to be plenty of options, but I did not try the food or alcoholic beverages. My rating is mainly based on the relatively friendly atmosphere.
