Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned scene queen, here's our roundup of the top gay bars in New York City to check out now!
Everyone knows that the New York City gay bar scene is nothing short of vibrant and the city’s nightlife is unquestionably busy.
New York is also one of the gayest cities in the United States. The problem is that sometimes it can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s your first time visiting the city. We certainly felt that way on our first visit here. It can feel like there's just too much to undertake and not enough time… where do you even start?
Here is a list of the top gay bars in NYC, whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned scene queen! And the best part…most of them are on the west side, either in the West Village, Chelsea, or Hell’s Kitchen, so really, depending on how lengthy you are in the city, you can bar hop and visit most, if not all of them!
Heads up, the iconic Rebar in Chelsea closed its doors for excellent in 2020.

This NYC gay landmark is where the
LGBTQ+ Bars in New York play a big role in the city and the LGBTQIA+ culture and provide a safe place for everyone. New York has long had an appeal for the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer plus) community, with lots of historic events as well. You can find a large number of gay bars and clubs.

LGBTQ+ Bars in New York
All over Novel York, there is a wide range of bars, clubs, and parties. After a lot of consideration, there are three places that you shouldn’t miss:
Le Bain
On the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel, you will find this two-floor club called Le Bain. The name Le Bain comes from the indoor pool located just next to the DJ booth. When the club is open during the summertime, people can even go swimming in it. During the wintertime, it serves as an extra dance floor. The entire club has spectacular views of all of Manhattan and the Hudson River. When the weather is nice outside, you should go to the 19th floor where you can enjoy cocktails on the terrace. On Thursday nights, Le Bain becomes the spot for the new, fashion-forward LGBTQ+ crowd.
Eight NYC Gay Bars and Clubs We Suffer from This PRIDE
BY MICHAEL MUSTO | Happy Pride! There are plenty of queer establishments in NYC at which you can celebrate, but let me step in between your cocktails and remind you of some past places that were absolute gay heaven. We can briefly keep in mind their glory, then travel right back to putting the mo’ back in mojito.
THE BAREFOOT BOY (309 E. 39th St. at Second Ave.) | One prominent element of gay nightlife in the 1970s involved raunchy, sex-driven places like the Anvil—but at the opposite end of the spectrum was the Barefoot Boy, a sleek dance club that was sophisticated and almost chic. But, of course, sex was the object here too. Everyone’s mission was to wait till a great song was played (like Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive), ask someone hot to dance, and then find yourself doing a line dance together all the way abode. Yes, this was way before Grindr, when you had to actually verb out of the dwelling and chat up potential tricks face to face! Can you imagine?
THE CANDLE BAR (309 Amsterdam Ave. btw. W. 74th & 75th S
