New gay club

A Gay Guy’s Guide to the 10 Best Hell’s Kitchen Gay Bars in Manhattan, NYC

There are new gay clubs and gay bars opening up every year, and gay favorite long-time haunts still stand. It just seems to always get even more gay year after year! A testament to the enduring power of love, acceptance, and diversity in the very heart of the city that never sleeps. New YES! With a focus on versatility and diversity, this venue hosts an array of events, from dance parties to live performances.

It does tend to skew to a younger crowd but with a mix of somethings, club. A unique blend of a country-western bar and a gay nightclub, Flaming Saddles Saloon is where urban meets the Wild West. Expect lively line dancing, attractive bartenders, and a welcoming crowd. This high-energy establishment serves up great cocktails and a memorable time with a side of Southern charm.

Hardware is my go-to gay bar in HK. Expect to see topless bartenders who sometimes moonlight as Only Fans porn star models or gay strippers. Again: expect to see lots of shirtless bartenders, and since they took over the spot next door and expanded with a second dance floor, the one time cozy lounge is now a bopping club.

I actually preferred their pre-pandemic location on the opposite corner of the same block, but their new venue still brings in the fun crowds—especially for their incredibly popular happy hour. FLEX is a new gay bar with a much more relaxed lounge vibe. It only opened recently and is already brining in fun crowds. Atlas Social Club, living up to its name, also allows various meetups and groups to use the space for special events and parties.
