Gay Bars near Jackson Heights, NY

“Nice place! And nice service.“

“Me gusta“

“We really loved this place. We went on a Saturday for The BEST Drag Bingo Brunch ever! The food was great. I had the wrap with fries and my friends had the steak salad. They really raved about the salad. They claim bottomless drinks during the show and they did not disappoint. The staff was so aware and attentive and friendly. We will defiantly come back next time I'm in town!“

“I love Icon so much - Como se DiSLAYY hosted by Showponii and Myster E Mel Kiki and the Wednesday shows hosted by Boxa Crayonz are some of my favorite drag shows in the city. The bartenders are amazing - special shoutout to Filup and Rodrigo for being so kind, inviting, and GREAT bartenders“

“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.“

“Great vibe. Great people.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is an amazing place to come drink. The bartenders are AMAZING, sweet and welcoming. And the drinks are strong! What best to come drink with affordable strong drinks and amazing bartenders . Not to mention the people who come here are great and chill! I would always recommend everyone to come here .“

“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.“

“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!“

“The owner Helen is such a gem - thank you for supporting and fostering such an inclusive, safe, and welcoming community. Knowing your bar exists gives me peace during an increasingly scary time. Thank you for all you do.

Also, CLEANEST bar bathroom ever, and the staff is so kind and respectful. 12/10!“

“If your visiting NY this place is must to add to your list, great vibe and atmosphere. There’s always some kind of event and the staff is always friendly and ready to give you the best service. I travel often to NYC and this is a place that is always on my list, great drinks and appropriately price and so much fun!“

“Beautiful place . Perfect music . Love friends tavern . Sexy staff“

“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!“

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

“this is the best bar, I was there when the Liberty won the championship the celebration was incredible the vibes are exactly what you want out of a bar for lesbians it is the best space, and it is inclusive, every time I go there I feel at home in my community, I moved away from New York but I have and will continue to make it a point to visit whenever I return“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“Great place!!! I love Viva La Heights“

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

“​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.“

“Nice group. Friendly bartenders“

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

“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.“

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

“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 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.“

“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!“

“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 💋💕💕💕“

“Came here on Sunday for the drag show brunch! The food was phenomenal- my favorite was the French dip and fries!

All the portions were large and very filling. The drag show brunch is every other Sunday & is such a fun time. Definitely recommend checking out, the music is fun & the performance was great!!“

“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!“

“While I mostly stick to the gay bars in Hell’s Kitchen, this was a nice change of vibe and scenery. The outdoor area is really nice — despite patrons smoking out there even though there were signs saying not to smoke. Bartender seemed a bit annoyed at times with serving — unsure why.Drinks prices were great for NYC — low when compared to Manhattan.While the sneaker selections of the Williamsburg residents always perplex me…I’ll be back to this place for sure!“

“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!“

“Awesome place !! ❤️❤️🎼🎼🍷🍷🙌🙌“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Nestled in Hell’s Kitchen, Hardware NYC delivers intimate drag performances and solid hospitality. A smaller crowd on a rainy Thursday night made the experience more personal and enjoyable.

Ambience: Chill and cozy vibes. Despite the smaller turnout, the bar’s energy didn’t disappoint.

Decor: Classic and understated, with a focus on the stage for performances.

Crowd: Low-key due to the weather, but this made for a more intimate experience.

Drinks: Good service with attentive bartenders who ensure patrons are well cared for.

Entertainment: The highlight of the evening was the drag shows. Sabel Scities delivered an electrifying performance that left the crowd wanting more. They rotate drag performers daily, so there's always something new to see.

Music: Complementary to the performances and not overpowering.

Pro Tips: Check the lineup for drag shows ahead of time to catch your favorites. Even if the crowd is small, the quality of the entertainment makes up for it.

Overall: Hardware NYC shines with its stellar drag performances and excellent service. It’s a cozy spot to enjoy a fun night out, even on quieter evenings.“

“I keep coming back here , it's a fun place , I do love the live piano and singing and usually they are very very good. Seems like alot of the Broadway stars stop by and just belts out some tunes.. Saturday night on the below gets a bit Grimmy with all the gogo boys , as they are very aggressive, but once your ignore you will be fine. The drinks are made strong and nice , and music is fantastic, definitely will be back and highly recommended to check out if you are visiting .“
