Gay Bars near Jersey City, NJ

“I specifically love Martini Mondays with Bryan and Color with Cameron on Thursdays SO MUCH. Cameron makes you feel safe and heard. The community atmosphere is exceptionally welcoming and the drinks are delicious. You do not have to be a gay man to feel at home at Pint! This neighborhood bar is a diamond of Jersey City and I’ll be a patron there for years to come.“

“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 ?!“

“I came here a while ago, but have to leave a review now that I remember to, since this spot was so electric.
I loved the cocktail that I had, you can see my friend enjoy it in the video.
I loved the music and the shows they were playing on the tv.
I didn’t particularly enjoy the fries but it did not ruin the experience in the slightest.
Will be back again.“

“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.“

“This place is one of the most welcoming gay bars I’ve ever been to. I have now been many times and every bartender is attentive and definitely the all care about all of the people that come in. That energy seems to permeate into all the patrons. It’s a very social place with amazing vibes. It’s genuinely a social place where you can meet new friends and maybe more… ;-). The bartenders are approachable and patient as well as hot! The owners that took over this location (that was the previous beloved Posh) have really kept the spirit of a good time alive and maybe even better. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Many people's first lesbian bar. First came here at 21 in 2008. It's interesting to go as I approach middle age just to see how the next generation interacts with the space. Usually a good place to hang with friends or people watch solo. Happy hour specials exist if you go there early enough and seasonally they have parties“

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

“This is a historic bar that I visited last summer. It has great food, a lively atmosphere, plenty of patrons, and most importantly, it’s a place that symbolizes vitality and resilience. Resilience is one of the defining qualities of Florida, where I lived last and this year. I believe every corner of Florida will be filled with equality in the future.“

“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.“

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

“It was a great time at good Judy’s! The atmosphere was perfect for an evening of hanging out with my friends! My drink had an issue and the bartender was prompt to fix it. The enterances to the bar is very steep so be careful if you’re in heels or not steady on your feet.“

“The food review was rated by the other guy. The service is mine. The atmosphere, to quote the other guy again, is one of the few gay bars, perhaps the only gay bar, in which you can have a conversation. You can be yourself. Admittedly, as I told our bartender, I was able to write two books of poetry at the bar. I'm biased, protective of Julius'.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Went 2 Sunday’s ago as I was visiting NYC with the boyfriend. It was drag night. Lexington Banks is an icon. The bartender was super cute and super attentive throughout the night, which made for great service. The local New Yorkers who frequent the bar were very social to me and my boyfriend which was a plus as they were not rude in the least. Overall a fantastic and fab experience. The next time we visit, we will definitely be back. 10/10“

“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.“

“Rockbar NYC is a lively neighborhood bar known for its inclusive, energetic vibe and strong LGBTQ+ community presence. The atmosphere is casual and fun, with themed nights and music keeping things upbeat. Drinks are straightforward and affordable. A great spot for a relaxed, social night out in NYC.“

“One of the best bars in Williamsburg!“

“The bar next door was closed so we stumbled into Ty’s instead, and I’m so glad we did!! Both bartender and patrons were wonderfully kind and sweet. Immediately felt welcome. Music selection was great; instant good vibes. Will definitely come back next time I’m in NYC!“

“Ginger's is such a lovely and welcoming spot in Park Slope. Im Irish and a lesbian & the welcome i was given made me feel like I was just at home. The gorge bartenders even let me finish my drink as they cleaned around me as I only arrived when they called last orders. It is such a cool spot with a relaxed vibe. If you are in Park Slope definitely pop in and say hello to the lovely team here 😊“

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

“Nice group. Friendly bartenders“

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

“A classic and elegant old money gay bar. This is where the piano plays as well dressed gay men of culture and money sing along. Its a terrific place to pick up sophisticated young attractive men who are clever at conversation. Love this place. Dont be sloppy, dress to impress and have a bit of decorum. If you want trashy, go to a Lower East Side dive bar.“

“Eagle has been one of the best gay spots to go out in NYC. The atmosphere is great, the music and DJs are always on point, and the drinks are solid. The bartenders are professional, the coat check is smooth, and the staff overall does a fantastic job.

But I especially want to recognize the security team. They are incredibly professional, polite, and always on top of their responsibilities. They make me feel safe and comfortable every time I’m there. Big respect to you guys—keep up the amazing work!“

“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!“

“My favorite gay bar. Upstairs has a piano area that’s perfect for a more relaxed, chill night, while downstairs is the complete opposite with dancing, drag, go-go dancers, and a party atmosphere.

The crowd is eclectic and feels much less pretentious than a lot of Hell’s Kitchen spots, which makes it easier to just enjoy yourself. It strikes a good balance depending on what kind of night you want.“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

“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 💋💕💕💕“

“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“

“I have enjoyed this place for years“

“Friendly locals and lively nights! Love this bar!“

“Wesley was an outstanding bartender from start to finish. He was friendly, professional, and made every guest feel welcome while serving drinks quickly and accurately. His attention to detail, positive attitude, and great customer service made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Wesley truly went above and beyond, and I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch bartender.“

“Awesome place !! ❤️❤️🎼🎼🍷🍷🙌🙌“

“A Night at Nowhere

Tucked into the Village, Nowhere is one of those small, historic gay bars that still feels authentic in a city that changes every five minutes.

The space isn’t huge, but that’s part of the charm. The music fills the room, the lights are low, and the crowd comes ready to dance. When DJ Noble Bear is spinning, the place lifts another level. The dance music is so good it deserves to be celebrated—one track after another that keeps people moving without losing the groove.

And yes, it should be said: he’s also very, very cute.

The service is fast and friendly, the beers are properly cold, and the crowd brings the energy. On bear nights especially, the room fills with a warm, playful vibe—big smiles, big beards, and plenty of good-looking guys enjoying the night.

Places like this matter.
They’re not flashy or corporate.
They’re just alive.

And in a city like New York, a bar that still feels alive is something worth holding on to.“

“Go here to dance!! Went at around 10PM on a Friday night, and the dance floor was kinda dead until around 11PM, and then people really showed up. Drinks were not the strongest, but tasty, and the dance floor was huge and atmospheric. Also, great bathroom, and drag on and off. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“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 :(“

“Haven’t had the food yet but it’s been my 3rd time here, it’s a chill place before 10pm to play pool 🎱. It’s a gay sports bar, supposedly the pool table moves and it becomes a dance floor. I typically hang around Hell’s Kitchen so this location is nice to rendezvous with friends coming from Brooklyn.“
