Gay bar nyc hells kitchen

Atlas Social Club — 9th Ave corner of W51st St Designed to kitchen like a glammed-up salon-meets-athletic-club, Atlas Social is a place where you can lift delicious cocktails in good company. Open for over a decade, ASC has opened its doors to stars like Anderson Cooper, Whoopi Goldberg, and Andy Cohen, and remains a favorite among locals and visitors alike!

A drag queen performs onstage at Balcon Salon. Photo supplied. The new rooftop at Boxers on 9th Avenue. DBL Bar on 10th Avenue. As a gay woman, I feel the love and pride every time I walk in. There is always a diverse group of people — straight, gay, trans, etc. The music is fantastic, while it largely plays country music, there is also a Juke Box which allows for customers to play some of their favorite beats.

The drinks are great and always have a heavy pour. My favorite place! You can go there to dance, you can go to introduce your family to the queer world, you can go there for a casual drink. Our theme is come alone and meet friends, come with friends and make more friends. Enjoy their six-hour-long happy hour!

Queen is a long-standing drag revue at Industry Bar. Cheap drinks and pretty decent food! Swing by in the hell for a bold Cuban nyc or cold brew made from global blends, then gay after dark when the espresso bar transforms into a cocktail lounge. Red Eye ditches the energy drinks in favor of inventive, low-sugar espresso cocktails crafted by owner Sam Benedict.

AND an after hours basement? Sign me up! But what truly makes it special is the incredible staff — every visit comes with warm smiles, bar theatre debates, and endless laughter. Rise Bar — 9th Ave corner of W56th St Known for their weekly drag brunches, piano bar nights, and discotheque dance floor, Rise Bar are also great community fundraisers, frequently throwing fetes for causes like Broadway Bares and Aid for Ukraine.

My friends are always there, and if not — the crowd is friendly enough where I make new ones. The bartenders are fun and always look out for their patrons. The drag performances are incredible!

The Best Gay Bars in Hell's Kitchen
