Get ready to be entertained, dazzled, and possibly even inspired to strut your stuff!

Industry Bar's design is inspired by the famous nightclub Berghain in Berlin. Think loosely divided rooms, a single floor that's perfect for epic roaming, and an ambiance that's comfortably sparse. It's like a queer wonderland where you can let loose and be your fabulous self without any judgment.

And who's the crowd you'll find at Industry Bar? Well, honey, it's a mix of gay men in their 20s to 40s who know how to party like there's no tomorrow.

Oh, and did we mention? Industry Bar is the fabulous sister establishment to Barracuda – another iconic gay bar in NYC. It's like a power duo that's here to show you what gay nightlife is all about.

Get your glam on and prepare for a night you won't forget at Industry Bar in NYC – where the queens slay, the music's pumping, and the LGBTQ+ love is always in the air. Cheers to a fabulous night out!
