8 editor picks in New York City.
8 lgbtq+ in New York City our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All New York City nightlife.
The Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street is where the 1969 riots launched the modern Pride movement. Now a national monument and still a working bar.
TipDrag bingo Tuesdays, karaoke Thursdays. Tourist-heavy on summer weekends; weeknights are easier and the regulars come out.
Cubbyhole, a tiny lesbian and queer corner bar on West 12th since 1994, packs a fishnet ceiling of stuffed-animal lanterns and a friendly bartender into one.
TipNo cover, cash-friendly, $2 PBR pours. Get there before 22:00 on weekends or you wait in a line out the door.
Henrietta Hudson on Hudson Street, founded in 1991, is the oldest standing queer-women bar in the country. The 2021 rebuild added a kitchen and back lounge.
TipClosed Monday and Tuesday. The Friday Cody Cunningham resident DJ set runs until 04:00; Saturday is the dance floor night.
The Eagle NYC on West 28th is the leather and cruise bar with three floors, an outdoor patio and dress-coded events on the upstairs roof deck most weekends.
TipOpens late, 22:00 most nights. Underwear, jock and bear nights all enforce dress codes posted on the door.
3 Dollar Bill on Meserole opened in 2018 in an old Otto Huber Brewery building. Ten thousand square feet split between dance floor, drag stage and outdoor.
TipLook for Drag Race headliners on weekends; ticketed parties sell out via See Tickets. Mondays often free for community nights.
Industry Bar on West 52nd is the Hell's Kitchen lounge that built the queer block, with nightly drag shows from 23:00, two bars and a back stage that fills.
TipFree entry every night until 23:00, then a small cover on weekends. Sunday drag brunch on the calendar most months.
Boxers in Chelsea is the gay sports bar with shirtless bartenders, two pool tables and a wall of TVs that pulls a mixed crowd on game nights and a queer one.
TipFree pool every Sunday, karaoke Tuesday and Sunday. Game-day kitchen runs wings and burgers until 02:00.
Pieces on Christopher Street is the gay dive that runs nightly drag shows from 22:00. The room is narrow, the karaoke list never stops and the regulars cheer.
TipOpen 14:00-04:00 daily. Tuesday karaoke is the night that draws the biggest crowd; arrive before 21:00.
