Gay Bars near Jersey City, NJ

“I like this place but have a complaint tonight. I ordered a beer & noticed that I did not get the happy hour price - I got my check at 705p- and was here in line by 7. I said I guess I just missed happy hour to the bartender & he did not respond. I am one of 2 females here on a Monday night. It is not about the $ but I do not feel valued.“

“Love 626! Great atmosphere, music etc. We love going for Halloween every year! I do wish they would keep the rooftop open though during club hours because we are packed like sardines in the basement. It gets too hot and too crowded. Safety ?!“

“Reserved a table for two earlier in the day for a bite to eat before a show. Was told on arrival if we wanted seats with backs we would have to sit IN the bar area. I opted to not sit in the bar (as it was very crowded and loud) and was given a table without seat backs (as I expected) , but, 4 tables around me were empty the whole time we were there that had the seats with backs. Was just as noisy where I was seated and it was hard eating with a coat and pocketbook balanced on my lap. Food was decent, but the steak sandwich was way toochewy“

“My husband & discovered Uncle Charlie’s a few years ago on a trip & now it’s a must for us every time we visit NYC. We like that it’s less touristy & more of a local hangout than some of the other piano bars in town. The bartenders & local regulars are friendly, the drinks reasonably priced & we have always felt very welcome included as visitors.“

“My wife and I visited here while on Vacation, as a newly out trans person who has lived most her life in Florida, I was not ready for how much an affirming place such as this would mean to me, coupled with the fact that pride very literally started here, it gave me what I needed to embrace myself, and to try and better things for my queer and trans comrades in Florida, we also had a lovely conversation with the owner who gave us a tour, and bought us each a beer (the Stonewall IPA is amazing! Wish I could get some in FL), we also ordered a cocktail each from the bar, the bartender was quite knowledgeable, and encouraging. A must see for anyone passing through, and all the more important for queer folk, thank you again for the unforgettable experience while we were up there <3“

“Bartender was great!! Beers where awesome and the location could not have been better. Great neighborhood bar!!!“

“Sunday Funday at 4 West Lounge is great fun for all. Host Angel Infiniti presents a late afternoon party with great house music ( Steve Travolta, Carlos Dali, & Frankie Paradise are 3 of the guest DJs). There are drink specials, great bites, & a fun loving crowd that loves to dance ( calling all who love to Vogue). Host Angel Infiniti is a warm, friendly, & quite the stylish host who brings the party uptown.“

“Fun vibe. They just let too many people inside (very small space, VERY packed). Like shoulder-to-shoulder at 11pm.
I know they rebranded to a queer bar rather than lesbian but it’s pretty lesbian lol. A lot of PDA which was kinda jarring.
There’s an electric jukebox. Pretty cool. They blow bubbles. Pretty cool.
Not a place for dancing. There’s just no room to dance.
A Long Island ice tea was $14 and solid. Strong. They also have $8 beers.
Cash only. No credit/card.“

“I love this place!!! There's always something new - piano + singing or drag happening upstairs, dance floor in the back, bar in front, clean bathrooms... what more could you want? Oh, and a patio to smoke. I would live here if I could lol.“

“Came in on a Saturday night (from DC) ..Boxers had a line wrapped around the corner. Flex had no line and no wait for a drink …friendly bartender.
The guy checking ID’s clearly has found the right job…stoic…non-communicative. His body language speaks for him I guess lol the death stare he gave when I tried to walk in without showing my Drivers License
🤣🤣🤣
Overall great time💯👏🏽“

“What a fun spot! I don’t want to age myself, but the vibe here totally threw me back to the 90s club kid days—like I could’ve run into Michael Alig himself. The staff was super friendly, the show I caught was a blast, and the crowd was full of cool, welcoming people. Definitely a place I’d go back to for more good times.“

“An icon well worth checking out. The walls are adorned with write ups and glamour shots. Julius earned its place in history for the ‘sip-in’ and has endured for its modest and simple style. Cash only, pub food if you’re hungry and friendly bartenders eager to please. Solid bar for the working class.“

“I usually go to Rockbar on jockstrap night, and it’s always a blast! The atmosphere is super welcoming and inclusive of all body types, which creates a really positive vibe. The drinks are priced as you’d expect for a bar in the city, and the overall energy is just so much fun. Plus, the men—absolutely hot! If you’re looking for a great time with a friendly crowd, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve checked and noticed that you don’t have a website. I think having one would be great for your café’s vibe, making it easier for customers to explore your menu, ambiance, and updates online! Feel free to connect if you’d like to discuss how to bring it to life!“

“Nice group. Friendly bartenders“

“I love going to Ty's...
I am a bisexual femme, but I love meeting guys here!
I get treated well, and my outfits draw wonderful attention and compliments (I am a ham, I admit it), from a number of the patrons here.
I get a number of nice hugs, wonderful to receive.
I'll be back- and soon!“

“Last Saturday I like so much the movie "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" in the monitor 💪😌🤙“

“This place is a blast! It’s fabulously decorated, with upbeat staff, a lively crowd, and super fun shows. Ruby Roo was behind the bar, and I don’t think I’ve had that much fun on a Tuesday night in ages. I even came back another night just to catch the show again. Definitely a really fun spot to be!“

“I’m from NOLA and have been several times in the past years when I come to New York and I love it more and more every time. Such a fun place to be.“

“I feel privileged to be so warmly welcomed into The Townhouse. As a straight woman, I am sensitive about entering queer spaces. While my date for the evening was a gay man which made me feel okay about entering, the staff and all the other guests were welcoming and warm. The pianist that night, Alex, is sublime - talented, warm, and inviting. What a lovely way to spend an evening. Highly recommend.“

“One of the best bars in Williamsburg!“

“Great neighborhood bar! Everyone is so friendly (Mason is the best!) so it’s a great experience every time. I have also met a lot of wonderful people from the neighborhood. You can’t beat their Happy Hour and lovely air conditioning in the summer. UES staple for sure.“

“G lounge is a fun place with a very diverse clientele.....some of the people complaining are probably just cheap and not used to not being the only cute dude in the room...but they all did the right thing, you don't like it..LEAVE....no one wants Debbie downers at a party, misery usually brings company!!!!“

“The vibes are Correct! Come out and get into your Vers Era!“

“Happy Hour is always fun. Great after work crowd.“

“The crowds are good and the drinks are just OK. But the bar is dirty, and it's overcrowded, looking like a fire trap waiting to happen. Clean your disgusting bathroom more. I can only speak for the men's room, but the women's room probably is just as bad. I give it 1 star.“

“I. FREAKING. LOOVED. I'm coming back for more, it was the most fun I've had in my area in a long time!!! I'm recommending to my close friends IMMEDIATELY! Much love to the staff and friendly faces there 💋💕💕💕“

“Awesome place !! ❤️❤️🎼🎼🍷🍷🙌🙌“

“The food is locally sourced daily. They offer 4/5 delicious entrees with delectable sides. Service was warm & attentive. Can't wait to return!!!“

“THIS IS THE BEST BAR IN THE WORLD!
What do you want from a bar? Chill w good music and cold AC? A backyard to blaze in? A tiny front area where you can judge everyone walking by? This place has everything. I've been coming for years and the bartenders are great. Wburg gay bars' Beloved Aunt!“

“I LOVE CLUB CUMMING. Colt and Nick were the kindest bar tenders, and even gave my boyfriend and I free, home made cookies! I was nervous on the way to the club because I can be socially anxious, but my boyfriend and I had the best time ever. I can’t wait to come back during an event! And to maybe meet Alan!“

“Always great shows here in this amazing venue. The venue really is amazing, the layout is great, the stage room with top-class speakers, food just outside the back door, cloak room, and the massive back yard - it has it all.
Everyone who works here is fantastic and extremely kind and positive. Together they create a very safe space for everyone to enjoy themselves, and I can definitely say I had a brilliant night here in 3DB.
It’s obvious the venue is really well looked after, and I’ve heard the Halloween decorations are amazing - can’t wait to come back to see them, and plenty of times before then too!“

“I had to leave a review just because I’m so gagged people said they have bad service? Our bartender was so nice, the drinks are cheap, and it’s a cute little bar. It was definitely slower and barely anyone was here, but it’s also 9:30pm on a Monday.“

“Bowling. Drunk. This makes It 25 characters.“

“Saturday nights are fun I enjoy going to support my local drag gals and dance . definitely recommend checking it out Saturday or any night of the week . drinks are not that expensive for LES prices , and cover on Saturday is 5 $ . not bad at all“

“Love this place. Hosted our nonprofit event there in February for Lunar New Year and we worked with Anika who is a true delight to work with — super responsive and proactive in making our event dreams come true.

The space is warm and cozy while also feeling spacious enough to host big groups. Cocktails are also very yummy — definitely host your event here or stop by for a cocktail!“

“Had a blast! Straight dude who was told about The Cock, and couldn’t leave New York without checking it out. Pretty simple exterior, massive rooster sign. Staff was welcoming and friendly from the moment we walked in. Top floor was a typical lounge, drinks were great. Downstairs is a different ballgame. Literally. But not for a moment did I feel unwelcome, not safe, or at all anything but another patron. Overall had an amazing night out with friends that included the cock. Had a blast, give it a try. Really wanted a tshirt but they were sold out :(“

“Club Lambda has such a great atmosphere! If you're looking for good vibes, chill music, and a place to just enjoy yourself—this is it. The drinks are on point, the music keeps you moving, and the service is top-tier. I don’t party often, but when I do feel like getting up and shaking a leg, Club Lambda is my go-to spot. Highly recommend!“

“I have enjoyed this place for years“

“Dive bar in the LES. I got that old school vibe from the place. Great hangout spot. They screened a silent film that night (Salomè) and I was chilling while the guys I came with played pool and had some beers. It was a rainy night and I enjoyed myself regardless. I don't drink but I still felt comfortable there.“

“I was here at the turn of the millennium, in 2001, and found this place to be the most melancholic yet cheerful, the most intelligent, intriguing, friendly, and wonderful hangout in Manhattan.
I wonder if Robert, a regular, is still alive, and if the bald pianist whose name I can't remember still works here.
Goodbye, Monster. You were very important to my stay there.

Italy, here.“

“Well this is certainly the place to be on a Monday night! After being recommended by 2 different friends, we decided to go in Monday for some shenanigans. We were treated wonderfully by KJ and Luke! And those VOICES! OMG. Danny on the piano was a genius, and I feel like we're all old friends now. :) They will sing anything you want, including 3-part harmonies (my favorite). We will go back soon!“

“​A true institution of the NYC leather scene, The Eagle is an iconic bar that has evolved over time to offer something for everyone. While it maintains its classic, dark, and cruisy atmosphere—a nod to its leather bar roots—it’s also a fantastic place to dance, hang out with friends, or simply grab a drink and see what happens. The atmosphere is unpretentious and welcoming, making it a reliable destination whether you’re a regular or a first-timer.“

“I've come here after BARS kickball now twice (Sunday afternoons) and I've had a good experience. Bartenders were friendly enough and the place is well air-conditioned. Each time the prices were good, especially getting a 16-ounce Blue Moon for $5 (unheard of). I also appreciate that there's way more space and indoor seating here than at DBL. It seems to me that this place is well suited for a relaxed, social drinking experience with simple highballs or draft beer; I haven't been on a Friday or Saturday night looking to dance and I haven't ordered a signature cocktail, so I can't speak on that“

“Heck yeah! Loved this place, after we went to the shop next door and got some pumps. The pool table was fun and not crowded on a saturday. Although the balls kind of dissppeared in the table on the third game. Well, thats what happens to balls at this place. Go LA Dodgers! Friendly staff. Love yall! 🏳️‍🌈“

“Usually other bar patrons can't stand my jokes, but the guys here laughed at all of them. The bartenders don't wear shirts and they're all muscly but they were really nice and gave me exercise tips on how to get something called come gutters. When I left everyone gave me a hug. I'll definitely go back.“

“I came for the Eurovision tea dance and keep coming back outside of that to see John. It’s spacious, with clean bathrooms, and excellent happy hour specials. John is a star - I’ve witnessed him keeping up with truly impossible amounts of customers during the Eurovision grand final with ease. He’s very funny and even if you come in by yourself, you will still enjoy the conversation and company you find here. Stay loco loco!“
