Visit EqualdexThe Boiler Room is a mainstay of New York City's LGBTQ+ scene, and people just can't get enough of it – locals, visitors, and everyone in between!
What's their secret to success, you ask? Well, first off, they've got a jukebox and a pool table – because nothing says "good time" like belting out tunes and hustling pool balls with your crew. And they’ve got a photo booth to boot! They sure know how to keep the good times rolling here.
But the real magic lies in their welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. No pretentious vibes or judgmental stares here – just an inclusive atmosphere.
Now, let's talk about the good stuff – the drinks! They've got some seriously cheap pours that won't burn a hole in your pocket. Who says you can't have a blast without splurging? But hey, a word to the wise: this is a dive bar, darlings, so bring those dollar bills! They're cash-only, which only adds to their charming appeal.
Oh, and here's a little secret: those discreet sitting areas are the perfect hideaway from the main room's lively cruising scene. So, if you're looking for some intimate moments or just a cozy corner to unwind with your date, they've got you covered.
And let's not forget – on busy nights, you'll spot a swarm of fresh-faced NYU students flocking to The Boiler Room. It's like a mecca for them, and who can blame 'em? This place oozes coolness, and everyone wants a taste of that authentic NYC gay bar experience.
So, if you're up for a night of unpretentious fun, great drinks, and a welcoming crowd, head on over to The Boiler Room in NYC.
The famous and historic Stonewall Riot LGBTQ+ bar the Stonewall Inn (not an actual Inn!), then CUBBYHOLE (a neighborhood lesbian bar), Julius' (one of the oldest gay bars in NYC), and Marie's Crisis Cafe (a charming LGBTQ+ piano bar) are all welcoming and great places to check out for more queer fun!
