GAY BARS
Boiler Room NYC
Hello Hobosexual! East Village’s Boiler Room serves the cheapest cocktails this side of bohemia for local recessionistas.
Rooftop at Hudson Terrace
Talk New York fag party and talk Josh Wood. And in summer, plan your Sunday around Josh Wood’s Rooftop Hell’s Kitchen tea dance at the top of the Hudson Terrace party complex.
Summer Camp at Highbar
If the bloody marys at brunch left you hankering for more, head over to Michael Cohen’s early afternoon party at this upscale 16th floor rooftop.
Wednesdays at Su Casa
No luck at Beige on Tuesday? Try Michael Cohen’s second-chance night at the cosy cocktail lounge hidden away above Mexican restaurant Qdoba.
The Ritz Bar & Lounge
Get nautical at this dance-floor touting bar on Restaurant Row with a great happy hour and even better post-theatre crowd.
Beige
Never fails. The gay Tuesday night party that continues to pack in every cute actor/model/waiter in the city week after week.
Barrage
A friendly, low-key place to unwind and have a chat with friends or the mixed crowd of neighborhood guys, actors and dancers.
The Cock
If you see the big, red neon rooster, you know you’ve arrived at the sleazy, trashy, ridiculously fun dump of a bar: The Cock.
XES Lounge
Drinks are strong and cheap at this decent neighborhood bar. Guaranteed wieners in summer.
Splash
First things first. When your plane lands, grab your carry-on and immediately have the taxi driver drop you off at Splash. Get it out of your system now.
Barracuda
Dive bar packed most nights of the week with a pleasantly surprising mix of guys, Barracuda is one of the city’s favorites.
Vlada Lounge
Russian submarine-style lounge popular with Broadway chorus boys, midtown gay yuppies and neighborhood lads.
Therapy
This trendy Hell’s Kitchen two-level lounge is full of handsome 30-somethings with Psychotic Episodes, Oral Fixations and Delusions.
Phoenix
A down-home, laid-back East Village watering hole with a slight rock-‘n’-roll edge of the jeans and buttoned down flannel shirt kind.
