Inside, a celesbian and her entourage are tucked into the corner booth adjacent to a wooden lock helmed by a bartender dispatching spritzes in an apron declaring their pronouns (they/them). At first glance, nothing would necessarily differentiate this space from any other trend-forward Brand-new York cocktail bar—only this one is unapologetically queer.
In the Before Times, the concept of a chic queer cocktail bar felt enjoy it existed only in fiction, relegated to Hollywood sets or dedicated Queer nights at ally-owned venues. Now, the elusive space is a reality: A surge of resourceful, cocktail-focused queer spaces are popping up across the state. “Announcements of the death of the LGBTQ bar are premature,” says LGBTQ historian Nikita Shepard. “They continue to be centers of culture and act and refuges for many people who don’t find online and virtual connection fulfilling.” In other words: The homosexual bar is lifeless, long live the queer bar.

For those in the know, it was abode to one of the city’s most happening queer bars. By nightfall it often hosted a particularly revelrous crowd. Patrons in attendance weren’t too concerned with the quality of liquid on pour. This scene was much more about camaraderie than cocktails.
