LGBTQ+ Bars in Fresh York play a big role in the city and the LGBTQIA+ tradition and provide a safe place for everyone. New York has long had an appeal for the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transitioned, queer plus) people, with lots of historic events as well. You can find a big number of same-sex attracted bars and clubs.

LGBTQ+ Bars in New York

All over New York, there is a spacious range of bars, clubs, and parties. After a lot of consideration, there are three places that you shouldn’t miss:

Le Bain

On the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel, you will discover this two-floor club called Le Bain. The name Le Bain comes from the indoor pool located just next to the DJ booth. When the club is reveal during the summertime, people can even go swimming in it. During the wintertime, it serves as an extra dance floor. The entire club has spectacular views of all of Manhattan and the Hudson River. When the weather is gentle outside, you should go to the 19th floor where you can appreciate cocktails on the terrace. On Thursday nights, Le Bain becomes the notice for the new, fashion-forward LGBTQ+ crowd. All genders and sexualities are welcome! Drinks here are expensive, but the atmosphere is 100% Manha

Dancing is the ultimate way to heal, celebrate, and uplift yourself and others—and a gay club is more than just a place to dance. With the exhilaration of a pulsing beat and a dark dancefloor, you can meet others over a delicious cocktail or mocktail, and enjoy the help of community. Whether it’s a drag bar or a bear hangout, a lesbian-oriented venue or a fetish club, this roundup of queer bars shows great places to glide the pride flag and rejoice in your control body. Of course, cities like San Francisco and Providence are well-known for having multiple LGBTQ+ clubs to pick from, but small towns with maybe even just one club that you have to drive a few hours to reach make it worth the trip. Plus, where else are you going to gather to watch RuPaul’s Drag Race?
