The There have been a couple of stories on the elderly Silver Rail Exclude just below th Street on 8th Avenue in the past but Bespoke readers are the ones who possess revealed the forgotten LGBT history at some of Harlem's establishments in 70s, 80s or 90s. This block would eventually be demolished for the massive glassy Harlem USA complex but before that happened, 8th Avenue became Andre's which appears to haves been the spot for the gay community to socialize.
Andre's filled-in where the Silver Rail left off and did very good. Another gay prevent on th St. was known as Jay's and lets not forget the Big Apple. All three catered to a particular sub-set within the shadowy gay culture of Harlem. The Massive Apple catered to older, middle-aged same-sex attracted black men while Andre's was acknowledged for its demimonde and Jays catered to everyone else including hustlers.

The archival photo from the Museum of the city of New York has played a major role in Queer history and it’s no wonder there are a slew of bars that have been beacons for the community (and prime party spots) for decades. The best queer bars in NYC range from dive bars to twirl clubs, with historic spots like the Stonewall Inn anchoring them all. The West Village is a classic destination for lgbtq+ nightlife, but you’ll detect something exciting and welcoming in pretty much any part of the city.
You can check out the best drag shows or cabaret performances, but these queer spaces all extend something unique, from cozy vibes and cheap drinks to high-energy dancing and brunch parties - sometimes in the same place on different days! Maybe your interests skew more trendy and urbane, or perhaps you're more of the down-and-dirty hook-up spots, the "what happens on the weekends, stays on the weekends" type — we're not here to judge! There are plenty of LGBTQ+ things to do in New York, but if it’s a bar you’re looking for, we’ve got you covered.
