Pieces: 8 Christopher St, New York, NY 10014 You don’t have to sing, but just know a majority here are singing their hearts out and nothing works quite like cheap booze and group singing to bring awkward strangers together. Cheap drinks, free entertainment, and a musical education! Come here to see a quirky mix of locals singing obscure Broadway songs. Marie’s Crisis: 59 Grove St, New York, NY 10014 Luckily, in time, I began to understand how diverse and inclusive the clientele here can be, and since it’s the oldest gay bar in NYC and on the National Register of Historic Places, it should be both preserved and celebrated! I was under the assumption this tavern was just a dive for older gay men. Julius’ is an example of a bar that never appealed to me as a younger guy. Julius’: 159 W 10th St, New York, NY 10014 (alternative to Stonewall) This bar really does have it all, and they are very welcoming of gay men, too, in case you were wondering. I hope it’s useful to visitors or other NYC newbies, as we all tend to enjoy bar-hopping to at least a couple venues in search of that perfect vibe.Ĭubbyhole: 281 W 12th St, New York, NY 10014Ĭubbyhole is a historic lesbian bar known for tight quarters, eccentric decor dangling from the ceiling, a fantastic jukebox, cheap drinks, and friendly people. I organized the below list by neighborhood.
