Icon Bar

Buzzing new gay bar in the heart of Greenwich Village with a speakeasy entrance and stylish vibe inside. This former theatre has been completely transformed into an atmospheric basement bar and club space, complete with original art and a line-up of the most talented drag names in the area. Its stage hosts nightly drag shows and other performances, plus plenty of dancing every weekend.

A neighbourhood fixture and an original Hell's Kitchen gay bar, NYC's 9th Avenue Saloon is always fun and unpretentious. Chat with friendly locals, meet out-of-town friends for a catch-up over drinks, or kick off the night with some old-fashioned fun in this lovely little dive bar. It has everything from great service and excellent prices to a (very popular) popcorn machine and a jukebox that you get to control.

Docked on Restaurant Row, the naval-inspired Ritz comprises two bars, bi-level backyard patio, and a second street-facing patio space, while natural wood sets a stylish mood inside the lounge. Nightly shows with renowned DJs and exceptional sound and lighting systems make Ritz one of the most popular dance club experiences in the Hell's Kitchen area, where all identities and backgrounds are welcome.

3 Dollar Bill is proud to welcome all members of the LGBTQ community into a space that represents commitment to inclusion and the celebration of queer identity.

From fun nights at the bar to incredible events with amazing sound and lights, 3 Dollar Bill is always ready for a good time.

Dive Bar Lounge (also known as DBL) is the perfect place in Hell's Kitchen to pick up hot guys or just hang out with the ones you already know! It has cheap drinks served by friendly bartenders, a beer pong table, and picnic tables outside where you can chat to your new friends and make even more. Come here for a local bar vibe and enjoy themed events with great guys.

More low-key than other gay bars in Hell's Kitchen, Barrage is the perfect place to relax with friends and enjoy a few drinks. It's a quieter alternative to the louder dance clubs, and the friendly bartenders and clientele add to the relaxed vibe here. Good happy hour deals resurface in the later in the night, so you can enjoy cocktails in a stylish bar decorated with pictures of male models and live your best gay life!
