About Us
The Dickens
The Dickens is a “one-stop shop” at Hell’s Kitchen’s newest LGBTQ+, literary-themed multiplex now open for dinner, drinks and dancing. It also pays tribute to the modern literary theory that Dickens defied Victorian morality to subtly include lesbian and gay characters in his novels, including A Tale of Two Cities‘ Sydney Carton, his most tragic hero.
Operated and owned by Vida Verde and PMac’s Hospitality alum Bryan Hannon, The Dickens, on 8th Avenue between 47th and 48th Streets, boasts six different spaces to grab a cocktail, including a first floor cocktail bar and restaurant; low-key hangout The Genie’s Lounge; moody, stylish party venue at the whiskey-themed Studio Bar; The 3D Bar & Lounge; and a top-notch rooftop.
“It really is a one-stop shop,” said Hannon. “We designed it so that you can have dinner downstairs, move upstairs for a cocktail on the second floor, and if you are in the mood, make your way to The 3D Bar & Lounge,”. He added that the bar is opening up each space in phases, with the first two floors immediately available and the third floor and rooftop opening in June 2023.
