"[3] New York magazine describes the establishment as "a welcome blend of the three types of gay bars you've come to expect in Manhattan: the tight-shirt lounge, the tank-top megaclub, and the casual-plaid cruising spot".

There's the classic bar room with tables and stools; a sexy, veiled lounge for intimate moments; and a performance area where drag queens and DJs post up daily.

"[8] The club's listing in The Infatuation states: "If you find yourself asking why ... they have both disco balls and paper lanterns, you're not understanding the true appeal of Industry Bar.... Saturdays are the right night to be here—it's a great, energetic crowd with very high odds of meeting someone new.

"[9] Tim Murphy of The New York Times characterized the bar's musical selection as "relentlessly gay-pop", listing Madonna, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga as playlist staples.
