I visited for mother's day weekend and Sunday was quite chilly and rainy. We were looking for a fun indoor activity and found a great spot at Gutter Bar. We had a beer and a game and laughed! The guys at the counter were friendly. It was a great atmosphere!

Love this place! If you are looking to try something new, I would highly recommend taking a wander to the Cliffs indoor climbing gym. With walls twice as high as a number of other gyms I have visited, I was seriously impressed. Additionally, the staff and members fostered a genuinely friendly atmosphere - a rare find in NYC. Members were very supportive of one another and seem to have formed a community of camaraderie. With a sizeable area for bouldering, a number of auto belays, lots of top ropes, and lead climbing options, there is certainly enough to keep you occupied for hours. In fact, I bet your body will be exhausted before your mind is ready to leave. The locker rooms are kept very clean and all the equipment you need is available to rent, or you can purchase in the small shop on site. They do offer courses for beginners if you have never been climbing before, or if you need a refresher. I have not tried it, but the Cliffs also have a small gym with weights/machines upstairs and offer some yoga classes. Yes, it is quite expensive, but I deem it is well worth the cost.
