Brooklyn ny gay clubs

Brooklyn is easily accessible from Manhattan, most famously from the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, though there are subways and other bridges connecting Brooklyn to the other NYC boroughs. Because of its unique location in close proximity to Manhattan, and its many distinct cultures, however, Brooklyn has blossomed as its own formidable destination.

And the many cultural changes in the borough have given rise to more open and more inclusive spaces for LGBTQ travelers. In the past year, the Brooklyn Museum has had a number of impressive exhibits including one on David Bowie, and currently one on Frida Kahlo. Home to many artists and musicians and their subsequent studios and cheap-but-cool coffee shopsthe area is great for urban exploration.

Open only in the summer, the Brooklyn Barge Bar serves cheap eats and cold drinks on a barge floating in the East River. And the nearby Manhattan Avenue is home to a number of great food spots of many different cuisines. The cozy Mexican restaurant Calexico serves the classics like fish tacosbut plenty of innovative and exciting dishes such as a crispy brussels sprouts with peanut-chile salsa.

No trip to NYC is complete without some pizza.

This new queer bar in Greenpoint is far from divey

They make their tortillas on-site. For a little bit more romantic dining, the nearby Sea Wolf restaurant serves oysters and other seafood and usually has a DJ on weekends, making it an equally cool place to stop for a drink either before or after eating. While a lot of the NYC gay nightlife is over in ManhattanBrooklyn still has a stronghold on the queer nightlife.

Just down the street is the equally divey and more affordable Macri Park ; people shuttle between the two depending upon the crowds at each. Both are great for first dates in NYCtoo. Nearby, The Rosemont is a newer gay bar that rarely charges a cover fee and feels a lot more casual and comfortable than the scene-y Metro.

Expect brooklyn, glitter, and disco balls no matter when you visit. Same goes for the larger Elsewhere club a few blocks away. Further out in Brooklyn, the gay club 3 Dollar Bill hosts a variety of techno queer parties and occasional big-ticket events. Good Judy even hosts regular street fairs on 5th Avenue throughout the summer.

Other bars in the area like Commonwealth and Branded Saloon regularly host queer events. One of the first things I learned about Gay when I first moved to the area besides the fact that finding Brooklyn sublets can be tricky! Each neighborhood has its own distinct vibe and culture, and getting from one end of the borough to another can often be challenging.

Convenience and location makes The Tillary Hotel a great option for a Brooklyn hotel. Rooms are spacious and the lobby has an open public space with lots of board games including an oversized Scrabble club. The hotel is connected to Manhattan along a direct train line. Make it a priority for your next trip to NYC!
