REBAR burst onto the scene in 2017 and has quickly become one of the top gay hotspots in Chelsea, attracting both tourists and locals alike.


Location and Appeal

REBAR Chelsea's popularity is not just about its prime location in one of New York City's most vibrant neighborhoods, but rather its ability to redefine the nightlife experience. 

Formerly known as G Lounge, the space has been meticulously deconstructed into a realm that's real, raw, and unabashedly sexy. It's a refreshing departure from flashy pretentiousness, embracing a down-to-earth charm. Yet, beneath its unassuming exterior, REBAR boasts state-of-the-art lighting and sound that promises an unforgettable night.

Inside, REBAR is a spacious playground for your night out. There are two bars, ensuring your favorite drink is never out of reach. Tables in the front area offer a cozy spot for mingling and conversation, while a second bar near the dance floor keeps the party flowing.

Venture further back, and you'll discover a separate lounge room, a sanctuary from the dance floor's relentless beats. It's here that the party sometimes takes an adventurous turn, transforming into a cruising/darkroom experience – a thrilling option for the daring.


When the Party Gets Started

The party at REBAR typically ignites around midnight, and the energy doesn't fizzle out until the early hours of the morning. Saturdays are the hottest ticket in town, with the dance floor pulsating and the atmosphere electric. If you're up for lots of dancing, laughter, and unforgettable moments, Saturday night at REBAR Chelsea is a must.


Muscular Gay Men Dancing To Remix Hits

The crowd at REBAR is mostly gay men between 25 and 45 years old, with a significant presence of vibrant thirty-somethings. You'll find a dynamic mix of personalities and styles here. Many patrons sport that rugged, muscular look, proudly flaunting their hairier side. The atmosphere? Oh, it's charged with an undeniable sensuality, especially on weekends.

When it comes to music, REBAR knows how to keep the crowd moving. Remixes and house music rule the night, luring dancers to the floor.


REBAR Chelsea's Got Something For Everyone

From drag shows that leave you in awe to gear nights celebrating kinks and fetishes, there's a night for everyone. Dance parties keep the rhythm alive, and charismatic go-go boys add that touch of sensuality you crave. And let's not forget the bears, who bring their own special brand of charm to the mix. Whatever your flavor, REBAR's got it, ensuring your night out is as diverse and exciting as Chelsea itself.

So, whether you're looking for a night out with friends or a place to meet new people, REBAR Chelsea is the ultimate gay bar and nightclub in NYC.
