Had a great dance upstairs! The starburst drink that the bartender recommended was really good.

Whenever I go to New Haven, I make sure to stop at Partners. It's a staple of the community and I have so many wonderful memories attached to this building. Make sure to check out the BiP mural outside!

Came into Partners tonight for an after work drink & had a lovely time. The bartender was so friendly and eager to make me feel beyond welcome. I came in alone so he made conversation and kept me company. My after work bar from now on. Thanks Paul Xo.

Partners is my favorite bar in New Haven hands down. No cover fee and the bouncer is a cutie! There’s nothing like striking up a conversation and making new friends at the downstairs bar to start off the night. The bartenders are always willing to give drink recommendations and the when it’s time to head upstairs, you know the queens are about to put on a killer show! This is the place to dance freely, meet new friends, and leave judgement at the door.

Had a great time! Drag was fun. This was my first time at a gay bar and I was a little nervous but the bartender was very nice.
