The New Yorker group has been the subject of a lot of rumors, Rose said, but “if anybody got the chance to meet the people that are a part of the group, I think that they would really love and even enjoy being in their presence, because they really are such a positive, uplifting group.” “I have so many different personalities in there and and everybody’s accepted,” she said. She said the group is made up of a lot of LGBTQ individuals and people “you could tell never felt included in things.”

Other times everyone wears their best cowboy boots and hats.

Some of the events they hold are birthday parties, baby showers and themed events. Rose said The New Yorker group enjoys line dancing, mingling and chatting with her as she works behind the bar. She described the group’s members as “mature” 30- to 45-year-olds, not the “young, crazy crowd,” and said they range from car dealership owners to dentist office owners. The other group, called The New Yorker, rents the space from 9 p.m.
